NOTICE
■ Front sensor
Observe the following to ensure that the sensor operates correctly:
● Do not attach window tinting to the windshield.
● On cold days when there is a large temperature difference between the
vehicle interior and outside air temperatures, the windshield fogs up easily.
If the part of the windshield in front of the front sensor becomes fogged up
or covered with condensation or ice, the system temporarily stops working
and the PCS warning light flashes or illuminates. In that case, use the front
defroster to remove the fog, condensation, or ice. ( P. 334, 344)
●Do not attach stickers (including trans-
parent ones) or similar objects to the
outside of the windshield in front of the
front sensor (the shaded area shown in
the illustration).
A: From the top of the windshield to
approximately 10 cm (4.0 in.) below the
bottom of the front sensor
B: Approximately 20 cm (7.9 in.)
(Approximately 10 cm [4.0 in.] to the
right and left from the center of the front
sensor)
● Do not install or attach anything to the
inner side of the windshield under the
front sensor (shaded area in the illus-
tration).
A: Approximately 10 cm (4.0 in.) (Start-
ing from the bottom of the front sensor)
B: Approximately 20 cm (7.9 in.)

■ 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”

■ If the PCS warning light flashes or illuminates, and a warning message
is displayed on the multi-information display
The pre-collision system may be tempor arily unavailable or there may be a
malfunction in the system.
● In the following situations, the indicator and message will be cleared and
the system will become operational when normal operating conditions
return:
• When the area around the front sensor is hot, such as after the vehicle
has been parked in the sun
• When the windshield is fogged up or covered with condensation or ice
( P. 334, 344)
• If the area in front of the front sensor is obstructed, such as when the
hood is open
● If the PCS warning light continues to flash or illuminate, or the warning
message is not cleared, the system may be malfunctioning. Have the
vehicle inspected by any authorized Toyota dealer or repairer, or another
duly qualified and equipped professional immediately.
■ If the TRC and VSC+ are disabled
● If the TRC and VSC+ are disabled (P. 313), pre-collision brake assist
and pre-collision braking are also di sabled. However, the pre-collision
warning function will still operate.
● The PCS warning light will turn on and a warning message will be dis-

■ When changing the tires
Depending on the tires used, sufficient performance may not be maintain-
able.
■ Warning messages for the LDA system
Warning messages are used to indicate a system malfunction or to inform
the driver of the need for caution while driving.
WARNING
■ Before using the LDA system
Do not rely solely on the LDA system. The LDA system does not drive the
vehicle automatically, nor does it reduce the amount of care you need to
take. As such, the driver must always assume full responsibility for under-
standing his/her surroundings, for operating the steering wheel to correct the
driving line, and for driving safely.
Inappropriate or negligent driving could lead to an accident.
■ To avoid operating the LDA by mistake
Switch the LDA system off using the LDA switch when not in use.
NOTICE
■ To prevent damage to or incorrect operation of the LDA system
● Do not modify the headlights or attach stickers to the surface of the lights.
● Do not modify the suspension. If your suspension needs repairs, contact
any authorized Toyota dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and
equipped professional.
● Do not install or place anything on the hood or the grille. Also, do not install
a grille guard (bull bars, kangaroo bar etc.).

● High beam may be turned on or off when unexpected by the driver.
● In the situations below, the system may not be able to correctly detect the
surrounding brightness levels, and may flash or expose nearby pedestri-
ans to the high beam. Therefore, you should consider turning the high
beams on or off manually rather than relying on the Automatic High
Beam system.
• In bad weather (rain, snow, fog, sandstorms, etc.)
• The windshield is obscured by fog, mist, ice, dirt, etc.
• The windshield is cracked or damaged.
• The front sensor is deformed or dirty.
• The front sensor temperature is extremely high.
• Surrounding brightness levels are equal to those of headlights, tail
lights or fog lights.
• Vehicles ahead have headlights or tail lights that are either switched
off, dirty, are changing color, or are not aimed properly.
• When driving through an area of intermittently changing brightness and
darkness.
• When frequently and repeatedly driving ascending/descending roads,
or roads with rough, bumpy or uneven surfaces (such as stone-paved
roads, gravel tracks, etc.).
• When frequently and repeatedly taking curves or driving on a winding
road.
• There is a highly reflective object ahead of the vehicle, such as a sign
or a mirror.
• The back of a vehicle ahead is highly reflective, such as a container on
a truck.
• The vehicle’s headlights are damaged or dirty.
• The vehicle is listing or tilting, due to a flat tire, a trailer being towed,
etc.
• The driver believes that the high beam may be causing problems or
distress to other drivers or pedestrians nearby.

It may indicate a malfunction in the system. Contact any authorized Toyota
dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and equipped professional.

■ Steering wheel operation
When the engine is stopped by the Stop & Start system, the steering wheel
may become heavier than when driving.
■ Hood
If the hood is opened while the engine is stopped by the Stop & Start system,
the engine cannot be restarted by the Stop & Start system or by the auto-
matic engine start function. Restart the engine with the engine switch opera-
tion. ( P. 198, 202)
Even if the hood is closed after the engine is started with the hood open, the
Stop & Start system will not operate. Close the hood, turn the engine switch
off, wait 30 seconds or more, and then start the engine.
■ When to use the Stop & Start system

vehicle is in a poorly ventilated area. The engine may restart due to the
automatic engine start function, causing exhaust gases to collect and
enter the vehicle and resulting in death or a serious health hazard.
