PRIUS +_OM_OM47D30E_(EE)■If the PCS warning light flashes or illuminates and a warning message is
displayed on the multi-information display
The pre-crash safety system may be temporarily unavailable or there may be
a malfunction in the system.

In the following situations, the RSA system alerts the driver using a
warning display.
●When the vehicle speed exceeds the speed warning threshold
applied to the speed limit of the sign displayed on the main display
or multi-information display, the sign color becomes inverted.
●If it is detected that your vehicle is overtaking when a no overtaking
sign is displayed on the multi-information display, the sign flashes.
Depending on the situation, traffic environment (traffic direction,
speed, unit) may be detected incorrectly and a warning display may
not operate properly.
■Automatic turn-off of RSA sign display
One or more signs automatically turn off in the following situations.
●A new sign is not recognized for a certain distance.
●The road changes due to a left or right turn, etc.
■Conditions in which the function may not operate or detect correctly
In the following situations, RSA does not operate normally and may not rec-
ognize signs, display the incorrect sign, etc. However, this does not indicate a
malfunction.
●The camera sensor is misaligned due to a strong impact being applied to
the sensor, etc.
●Dirt, snow, stickers, etc., are on the windshield near the camera sensor.
●In inclement weather such as heavy rain, fog, snow or sand storms
●Light from an oncoming vehicle, the sun, etc., enters the camera sensor.
●The sign is dirty, faded, tilted or bent, and if an electronic sign, the contrast
is poor.
●All or part of the sign is hidden by the leaves of a tree, a pole, etc.
●The sign is only visible to the camera sensor for a short amount of time.
●The driving scene (turning, lane change, etc.) is judged incorrectly.

exists directly after a freeway branches, or in an adjacent lane just before
merging.
●Stickers are attached to the rear of the preceding vehicle.
●A sign resembling a system compatible sign is recognized.
●The vehicle is driven in a country with a different direction of traffic.

Example of constant speed cruising
When there are no vehicles ahead
The vehicle travels at the speed set by the driver. The desired vehicle-to-
vehicle distance can also be set by operating the vehicle-to-vehicle dis-
tance switch.
Example of deceleration cruising and follow-up cruising
When a preceding vehicle driving slower than the set speed
appears
When a vehicle is detected running ahead of you, the system automatically
decelerates your vehicle. When a greater reduction in vehicle speed is
necessary, the system applies the brakes (the stop lights will come on at
this time). The system will respond to changes in the speed of the vehicle
ahead in order to maintain the vehicle-to-vehicle distance set by the driver.
Approach warning warns you when the system cannot decelerate suffi-
ciently to prevent your vehicle from closing in on the vehicle ahead.
Example of acceleration
When there are no longer any preceding vehicles driving slower
than the set speed
The system accelerates until the set speed is reached. The system then
returns to constant speed cruising.

■Cruise control can be set when
●The shift position is in D.
●Vehicle speed is above approximately 40 km/h (25 mph).
■Accelerating after setting the vehicle speed
●The vehicle can be accelerated normally. After acceleration, the set speed
resumes.
●Even without canceling the cruise control, the set speed can be increased
by first accelerating the vehicle to the desired speed and then pushing the
lever down to set the new speed.
■Automatic cruise control cancelation
Cruise control will stop maintaining the vehicle speed in any of the following
situations.
●Actual vehicle speed falls more than approximately 16 km/h (10 mph) below
the preset vehicle speed.
At this time, the memorized set speed is not retained.
●Actual vehicle speed is below approximately 40km/h (25 mph).
●VSC is activated.
●TRC is activated for a period of time.
■If the cruise control indicator light comes on in yellow (vehicles without
multi-information display)
Press the “ON-OFF” button once to deactivate the system, and then press
the button again to reactivate the system.
If the cruise control speed cannot be set or if the cruise control cancels imme-
diately after being activated, there may be a malfunction in the cruise control
system. Have the vehicle inspected by any authorized Toyota retailer or

■If the warning message for the cruise control is shown (vehicles with
multi-information display)
Press the “ON-OFF” button once to deactivate the system, and then press
