PCS (Pre-Collision System)

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, warning operates to

urge the driver to take evasive action and the potential brake pres-

sure is 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 help reduce the impact of the collision.

The pre-collision system can be disabled/enabled and the warning tim-

ing can be changed. (P. 272)

■ 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 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.

■ 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.

: If equipped

WARNING

■ Limitations of the pre-collision system

●The driver is solely responsible for safe driving. Always drive safely, taking

care to observe your surroundings.

Do not use the pre-collision system instead of normal braking operations

under any circumstances. This system will not prevent collisions or lessen

collision damage or injury in every situation. Do not overly rely on this sys-

tem. Failure to do so may lead to an accident, resulting in death or serious

injury.

2

●Although this system is designed to help avoid and reduce the impact of a

collision, its effectiveness may change according to various conditions,

therefore the system may not always be able to achieve the same level of

performance.

Read the following conditions carefully. Do not overly rely on this system

and always drive carefully.

• Conditions under which the system may operate even if there is no

possibility of a collision: P. 275

• Conditions under which the system may not operate properly: P. 279

●Do not attempt to test the operation of the pre-collision system yourself, as

the system may not operate properly, possibly leading to an accident.

■ Pre-collision braking

●The pre-collision braking function may not operate if certain operations are

performed by the driver. If the accelerator pedal is being depressed

strongly or the steering wheel is being turned, the system may determine

that the driver is taking evasive action and possibly prevent the pre-colli-

sion braking function from operating.

● In some situations, while the pre-collision braking function is operating,

operation of the function may be canceled if the accelerator pedal is

depressed strongly or the steering wheel is turned and the system deter-

mines that the driver is taking evasive action.

269

VERSO_EE_OM64517E

2-4. Toyota Safety Sense

WARNING

● A large amount of braking force is applied while the pre-collision braking

function is operating. Additionally, as the operation of the pre-collision

braking function will be canceled after the vehicle has been stopped for

approximately 2 seconds if it is stopped by the operation of the pre-colli-

sion braking function, the driver should depress the brake pedal as neces-

sary.

● If the brake pedal is being depressed, the system may determine that the

driver is taking evasive action and possibly delay the operation timing of

the pre-collision braking function.

●While driving, such as when driving through a railway crossing, the system

may determine that the possibility of a collision with an object, such as rail-

way crossing barrier, is high and operate the pre-collision braking function.

To move the vehicle in an emergency, such as if the system operates in a

railway crossing, perform the following operations and then take the nec-

essary measures to ensure your safety.

• If the vehicle has been stopped, depress the accelerator pedal.

• If the vehicle is decelerating, fully depress the accelerator pedal.

(P. 274)

• Disable the pre-collision system. (P. 272)

■ When to disable the pre-collision system

In the following situations, disable the system, as it may not operate prop-

erly, possibly leading to an accident resulting in death or serious injury:

●When the vehicle is being towed

●When your vehicle is towing another vehicle

● When transporting the vehicle via truck, boat, train or similar means of

transportation

● When the vehicle is raised on a lift with the engine running and the tires

are allowed to rotate freely

270

VERSO_EE_OM64517E

2-4. Toyota Safety Sense

WARNING

● When inspecting the vehicle using a drum tester such as a chassis dyna-

mometer or speedometer tester, or when using an on vehicle wheel bal-

ancer

● If the vehicle cannot be driven in a stable manner, such as when the vehi-

cle has been in an accident or is malfunctioning

● When the vehicle is driven in a sporty manner or off-road

●When the condition of the tires is poor and they do not perform well

2

(P. 467)

●When tires of a size other than specified are installed

●When tire chains are installed

● When a compact spare tire or an emergency tire puncture repair kit is used
