The pre-crash safety system is enabled and determines that the possibility of
a frontal collision with a vehicle is high.
Each function is operational at the following speeds:
●Pre-crash warning:
• Vehicle speed is approximately 15 to 140 km/h (10 to 85 mph).
• The relative speed between your vehicle and a preceding vehicle is
approximately 15 km/h (10 mph) or more.
●Pre-crash brake assist:
• Vehicle speed is approximately 30 to 80 km/h (20 to 50 mph).
• The relative speed between your vehicle and a preceding vehicle is
approximately 30 km/h (20 mph) or more.
●Pre-crash braking:
• Vehicle speed is approximately 10 to 80 km/h (7 to 50 mph).
• The relative speed between your vehicle and a preceding vehicle is
approximately 10 km/h (7 mph) or more.
The system may not operate in the following situations:
●If a battery terminal has been disconnected and reconnected and then the
vehicle has not been driven for a certain amount of time
●If the shift lever is in R
●If VSC is disabled (only the pre-crash warning function will be operational)
■Cancelation of the pre-crash braking
●If either of the following occur while the pre-crash braking function is operat-
ing, it will be canceled:
• The accelerator pedal is depressed strongly.

has been parked in the sun
• When the windshield is fogged up or covered with condensation or ice
• When driving in conditions where the front sensor cannot detect an
object, such as in the dark (at night on a road without street lights or other
lights, etc.), when bright light is shining into the sensor, or in snow or fog.
• When the front sensor or the area around either sensor is cold, such as in
an extremely cold environment
• 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, the system may be
malfunctioning. Have the vehicle inspected by any authorized Toyota retailer
or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer immediately.

• When the windshield is fogged up or covered with condensation or ice
(P. 442, 452)
• When driving in conditions where the front sensor cannot detect an
object, such as in the dark (at night on a road without street lights or other
lights, etc.), when bright light is shining into the sensor, or in snow or fog.
• When the front sensor or the area around either sensor is cold, such as in
an extremely cold environment
• If the area in front of the front sensor is obstructed, such as when the

■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 sec-
onds after it has been activated, even if the vehicle leaves the lane again.
■The lane departure warning
Depending on the audio system sound level 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 system may not be immediately available. When the temperature in
the cabin decreases and the temperature around the front sensor (P. 307)
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
●When the vehicle leans to one side an unusual amount due to a heavy load
or improper tire inflation pressure
●When the following distance between your vehicle and the vehicle ahead is
extremely short

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 retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable
repairer.
● Do not install or place anything on the hood or the grille. Also, do not install
a grille guard (bull bars, kangaroo bar, etc.).
● If your windshield needs repairs, contact any authorized Toyota retailer or
Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer.

RSA (Road Sign Assist)
RSA recognizes specific road signs using the front sensor and pro-
vides information to the driver via the multi-information display.
If the system judges that the vehicle is being driven over the speed
limit, performing prohibited actions, etc., in relation to the recognized
road signs, it alerts the driver using a warning display and warning
buzzer*.
*: This setting needs to be customized.
