■ 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-
played on the multi-information display. ( P. 551)

LDA (Lane Depar ture Aler t)
Summary of function
While driving on a road that has lane markers, this system recognizes
the lane markers using a camera as a sensor to alert the driver when
the vehicle deviates from its lane.
If the system judges that the vehicle has deviated from its lane, it
alerts the driver using a buzzer and indications on the multi-informa-
tion display.
Front sensor
Turning the LDA system on
Press the LDA switch to activate
the system.
The LDA indicator will come on.
Press the switch again to turn the
LDA system off.
The LDA system will remain on or
off even if the engine switch is
turned to “ON” position (vehicles
without smart entry & start sys-
tem) or the “ENGINE START
STOP” switch is turned to IGNI-
TION ON mode (vehicles with
smart entry & start system).

■ Temporary cancelation of the LDA system functions
If any of the following occurs, the LDA system functions will be temporarily
canceled. The functions will resume after the necessary operating conditions
have returned.
● The turn signal lever is operated.
● The vehicle speed deviates from the operating range of the LDA system
functions.
● When the lane lines cannot be recognized while driving.
● When the lane departure warning sounds.
The lane departure warning function will not operate again for a several
seconds after it has been activated, even if the vehicle leaves the lane
again.
■ The lane departure warning
Depending on the audio system sound le vel or air conditioning fan noise
while the audio system or air conditioning system is in use, it may be difficult
to hear the warning sound.
■ After the vehicle has been parked in the sun
The LDA may not be available and a warning message ( P. 551) will be dis-
played for a while after driving has started. When the temperature in the
cabin decreases and the temperat ure around the front sensor (P. 278)
becomes suitable for its operation, the functions will begin to operate.
■ If there are lane markers on only one side of the vehicle
The lane departure warning will not operate for the side on which lane mark-
ers could not be recognized.
■ Conditions in which the function may not operate correctly
In the following situations, the front sensor may be unable to recognize lane
markers causing the lane departure warning function to operate incorrectly.
However, this does not indicate a malfunction.
● When driving through an area, such as a tollbooth, a crossing or before a
ticket checkpoint
● When driving on a sharp curve
● When lane markers are extremely narrow or extremely wide

Automatic High Beam
Activating the Automatic High Beam system
Push the lever away from you
with the headlight switch in
position.
The Automatic High Beam indi-
cator will come on when the
headlights are turned on auto-
matically to indicate that the sys-
tem is active.
: If equipped
The Automatic High Beam uses an in-vehicle front sensor to assess
the brightness of streetlights, the lights of oncoming and preceding
vehicles, etc., and automatically tu rns high beam on or off as neces-
sary.

286
2-4. Toyota Safety Sense

■ The Automatic High Beam can be operated when
Vehicles without smart entry & start system
The engine switch is in the “ON” position.
Vehicles with smart entry & start system
The “ENGINE START STOP” switch is in IGNITION ON mode.
■ Front sensor detection information
● High beam may not be automatically turned off in the following situations:
• When oncoming vehicles suddenly appear from a curve
• When the vehicle is cut in front of by another
• When oncoming or preceding vehicles are hidden from sight due to
repeated curves, road dividers or roadside trees
● High beam may be turned off if an oncoming vehicle that is using fog
lights without using the headlights is detected.
● House lights, street lights, red traffic signals, and illuminated billboards or
signs may cause the high beam to turn off.
● The following factors may affect the amount of time taken to turn high
beam on or off:
• The brightness of headlights, fog lights, and tail lights of oncoming and
preceding vehicles
• The movement and direction of oncoming and preceding vehicles
• When a oncoming or preceding vehicle only has operational lights on
one side
• When a oncoming or preceding vehicle is a two-wheeled vehicle
• The condition of the road (gradient, curve, condition of the road sur-
face, etc.)
• The number of passengers and amount of luggage

● 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.
■ If a warning message of the Automatic High Beam is displayed...
It may indicate a malfunction in the system. Contact any authorized Toyota
dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and equipped professional.

■ Buzzer operation and distance to an obstacle
A buzzer sounds when the corner sensors and center sensors are
operating.
● The buzzer beeps faster as the vehicle approaches an obstacle.
When the vehicle comes within the following distance of the
obstacle, the buzzer sounds continuously.
• Front corner sensors: Approximately 30 cm (1.0 ft.)
• Front center sensors: Approximately 30 cm (1.0 ft.)
• Rear corner sensors: Approximately 30 cm (1.0 ft.)
• Rear center sensors: Approximately 35 cm (1.1 ft.)
● When obstacles are simultaneously detected in front and to the
rear:
• The buzzer sounds in response to the nearest obstacle.
• When an obstacle either in front or to the rear is extremely
close, the buzzer will alternate between sounding continu-
ously and sounding intermittently.
• When obstacles both in front and to the rear are extremely
close, the buzzer will alternate between sounding continu-
ously and sounding intermittently, with a shorter interval.
