CHANGING THE PRE-COLLISION ALERT TIMING
DISABLING THE PRE-COLLISION SYSTEM (PCS)
Each time the PCS switch is pressed, the response to the PCS alert timing changes.
To disable the system
Press the PCS switch for 3 seconds or more.
The
will turn on and a message will be displayed on the
Multi-Information Display (MID).
To enable the system
Press the PCS switch again.
The system is enabled.
Note: PCS is enabled each time the engine switch is turned to Ignition On.
The system can be disabled/enabled and the alert timing of the system can be
changed. (Alert timing only, brake operation remains the same).
Pre-Collision System (PCS)
The Pre-Collision System uses a laser sensor and camera sensor to help detect
vehicles in front of your vehicle.
As there is a limit to the degree of recognition accuracy and control performance that
this system can provide, do not overly rely on this system. This system will not prevent
collisions or lessen collision damage or injury in every situation. Do not use PCS
instead of normal braking operations under any circumstances. Do not attempt to test
the operation of the Pre-Collision System yourself, as the system may not operate or
engage, possibly leading to an accident. In some situations, such as when driving in
inclement weather such as heavy rain, fog, snow or a sandstorm or while driving on a
curve and for a few seconds after driving on a curve, a vehicle may not be detected
by the laser and camera sensors, preventing the system from operating or engaging
properly.
Refer to a Toyota Owner’s Manual for a list of additional situations in which the
system may not operate properly.
Refer to the Toyota Owner’s Manual for additional information on PCS operation,
settings adjustments, limitations, and precautions before attempting to use it.
Pre-Collision Warning
When the system determines that the possibility of a frontal collision is high, a buzzer
will sound and a warning message will be displayed on the Multi-Information Display
(MID) to urge the driver to take evasive action.
Pre-Collision Brake Assist
If the driver notices the hazard and brakes, the system may provide additional braking
force using Brake Assist. This system may prime the brakes and may apply greater
braking force in relation to how strongly the brake pedal is depressed.
Pre-Collision Braking
If the driver does not brake in a set time and the system determines that the possibility
of a frontal collision with a preceding vehicle is extremely high, the system may
automatically apply the brakes, reducing speed in order to help the driver reduce the
impact and in certain cases avoid the collision.
