WARNING
■ Caution while driving
If the vehicle is coasting without engine power, for example if the engine
stalls, do not open a door or operate the lo cks until the vehicle is completely
stopped in a safe condition. Driving with the steering locked may cause an
accident, resulting in death or serious injury.
■ Stopping the engine in an emergency
If you want to stop the engine in an emergency while driving the vehicle,
press and hold the “ENGINE START STOP” switch for more than 2 seconds,
or press it briefly 3 times or more in succession. ( P. 613)
However, do not touch the “ENGINE START STOP” switch while driving
except in an emergency. Turning the engine off while driving will not cause
loss of steering or braking control, but the power assist to these systems will
be lost. This will make it more difficult to steer and brake, so you should pull
over and stop the vehicle as soon as it is safe to do so.
NOTICE
■ To prevent battery discharge
Do not leave the “ENGINE START STOP” switch in ACCESSORY or IGNI-
TION ON mode for long periods without the engine running.
■ When starting the engine
● Do not race a cold engine.
● If the engine becomes difficult to start or stalls frequently, have your vehi-
cle checked by any authorized Toyota dealer or repairer, or another duly
qualified and equipped professional immediately.
■ “ENGINE START STOP” switch operation
If you feel something catching or sense irregular resistance when operating
the “ENGINE START STOP” switch, then there may be a malfunction. Imme-
diately contact any authorized Toyota dealer or repairer, or another duly
qualified and equipped professional.

: If equipped
Select a shift position appropriate for the driving conditions.
■Shifting the shift lever
Vehicles without smart entry & start system
While the engine switch is in the “ON” position, move the
shift lever with the brake pedal depressed.
When shifting the shift lever between “P” and “D”, make sure
that the vehicle is completely stopped.
Vehicles with smart entry & start system
While the “ENGINE START STOP” switch is in IGNI-
TION ON mode, move the shift lever with the brake
pedal depressed.
When shifting the shift lever between “P” and “D”, make sure
that the vehicle is completely stopped.

Driving the vehicle with the parking brake set will lead to brake components
overheating, which may affect braking performance and increase brake
wear.

Vehicle data recordings
The pre-collision system is equipped with a sophisticated computer
that will record certain data, such as:
• How far (if at all) the driver was depressing the accelerator and/or
brake pedal
• Vehicle speed
• Operation status of the pre-collision system functions
• Information (such as the distance and relative speed between your
vehicle and the vehicle ahead or another object)
The pre-collision system does not record conversations, sounds or
pictures.
● Data usage
Toyota may use the data recorded in these computers to diagnose
malfunctions, conduct research and development, and improve
quality.
Toyota will not disclose the recorded data to a third party except:
• With the consent of the vehicle owner or with the consent of the
lessee if the vehicle is leased
• In response to an official request by the police, a court of law or
a government agency
• For use by Toyota in a lawsuit
• For research purposes where the data is not tied to a specific
vehicle or vehicle owner

PCS (Pre-Collision System)
■Pre-collision warning
When the system determines
that the possibility of a frontal
collision with a vehicle is high, a
buzzer will sound and a warning
message will be displayed on the
multi-information display to urge
the driver to take evasive action.
■ Pre-collision brake assist
When the system determines that the possibility of a frontal colli-
sion with a vehicle is high, the system applies greater braking force
in relation to how strongly the brake pedal is depressed.
: If equipped
The pre-collision system uses the front sensor to detect vehicles in
front of your vehicle. When the system determines that the possibil-
ity of a frontal collision with a vehicle is high, pre-collision warning
urges the driver to take evasive action and the potential brake pres-
sure will be increased to help the driver avoid the collision.
If the system determines that the possibility of a frontal collision
with a vehicle is extremely high, the brakes are automatically applied
to help avoid the collision or he lp reduce the impact to the vehicle
occupants and the vehicle in the collision.
The pre-collision warning timing can be changed or the system can be
enabled/disabled, as necessary, by operating the switch. ( P. 268)

■ Pre-collision braking
When the system determines that the possibility of a frontal colli-
sion with a vehicle is high, the system warns the driver. If the sys-
tem determines that the possibility of a collision is extremely high,
the brakes are automatically applied to help avoid the collision or
reduce the collision speed.
Changing the pre-collision system
■ Changing the pre-collision warning timing
Each time the PCS switch is
pressed, the warning timing
changes as follows:
Far (operation starts earlier)
Middle (default setting)
Near (operation starts later)
When the PCS switch is pressed
to turn the system on, the current
warning timing will be displayed
on the multi-information display.

■ Operational conditions
The pre-collision system is enabled and determines that the possibility of a
frontal collision with a vehicle (except motorcycles and bicycles) is high.
● Pre-collision warning:
• Vehicle speed is approximately 15 to 140 km/h (10 to 86 mph).
• The relative speed between your vehicle and the vehicle ahead is
greater than approximately 15 km/h (10 mph).
● Pre-collision brake assist:
• Vehicle speed is approximately 30 to 80 km/h (19 to 49 mph).
• The relative speed between your vehicle and the vehicle ahead is
greater than approximately 30 km/h (19 mph).
● Pre-collision braking:
• Vehicle speed is approximately 10 to 80 km/h (7 to 49 mph).
• The relative speed between your vehicle and the vehicle ahead is
greater than approximately 10 km/h (7 mph).
When the brake pedal is stepped on, the system judges if evasion actions
are being done by the driver and the start timing for pre-collision braking
may be delayed.
During the following, the driver oper ations takes precedence and the system
may not operate:
● The accelerator pedal is depressed strongly.
● The steering wheel is turned sharply or abruptly.
In case of the following, the system will not operate:
● If a battery terminal has been disconnected and reconnected and then
the vehicle has not been driven for a certain amount of time
● If VSC is disabled (only the pre-collision warning function will be opera-
tional)
● If the PCS warning light is flashing or illuminated
● When the shift position is in “R”
