The pre-collision system does not record conversations, sounds or images of the inside of the vehicle.
Toyota may use the data recorded in this computer to diagnose malfunctions, conduct research and development, and improve quality.
Toyota will not disclose the recorded data to a third party except:
The image recording function can be disabled. However, if the func- tion is disabled, data from when the pre-collision system operates will not be available.
Two types of sensors, located behind the front grille and windshield, detect information necessary to operate the drive assist systems.
Radar sensor Camera sensor
WARNING
Observe the following precautions.
Otherwise, the radar sensor may not operate properly, possibly leading to an accident resulting in death or serious injury.
If the front of the radar sensor or the front or back of the front grille emblem is dirty or covered with water droplets, snow, etc., clean it.
Clean the radar sensor and front grille emblem with a soft cloth so you do not mark or damage them.
WARNING
If the radar sensor, front grille, or front bumper has been subjected to a strong impact, have the vehicle inspected by your Toyota dealer.
Observe the following precautions.
Otherwise, the camera sensor may not operate properly, possibly leading to an accident resulting in death or serious injury.
A: From the top of the windshield to approximately 0.4 in. (1 cm) below the bottom of the camera sensor
B: Approximately 7.9 in. (20 cm) (Approximately 4.0 in. [10 cm] to the right and left from the center of the camera sensor)
WARNING
If the wiper inserts or wiper blades need to be replaced, contact your Toyota dealer.
If the windshield needs to be replaced, contact your Toyota dealer.
When cleaning the inside of the windshield, do not allow glass cleaner to contact the lens. Also, do not touch the lens.

*: If equipped
When the system determines that the possibility of a frontal colli- sion is high, the system applies greater braking force in relation to how strongly the brake pedal is depressed.
When the system determines that the possibility of a frontal colli- sion is high, the system warns the driver. If the system determines that the possibility of a frontal collision is extremely high, the brakes are automatically applied to help avoid the collision or reduce the collision speed.
WARNING
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.
Read the following conditions carefully. Do not overly rely on this system and always drive carefully.
WARNING
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:

Each function is operational at the following speeds:
The system may not operate in the following situations:
The pre-collision system detects pedestri- ans based on the size, profile, and motion of a detected object. However, a pedes- trian may not be detected depending on the surrounding brightness and the motion, posture, and angle of the detected object, preventing the system from operating properly. (P. 241)
If either of the following occur while the pre-collision braking function is oper- ating, it will be canceled:
The pre-collision system may be temporarily unavailable or there may be a malfunction in the system.
(Defogging the windshield: P. 414, 421)
The LDA system recognizes visi- ble white (yellow) lines with the camera sensor on the upper por- tion of the windshield.
Functions included in LDA system
When the system determines that the vehicle might depart from its lane, a warning is dis- played on the multi-information display and the warning buzzer sounds to alert the driver.
When the warning buzzer sounds, check the surrounding road situation and carefully operate the steering wheel to move the vehicle back to the center of the lane.
*: If equipped
WARNING
Do not rely solely upon the LDA system. The LDA system does not auto- matically drive the vehicle or reduce the amount of attention that must be paid to the area in front of the vehicle. The driver must always assume full responsibility for driving safely by always paying careful attention to the sur- rounding conditions and operating the steering wheel to correct the path of the vehicle. Also, the driver must take adequate breaks when fatigued, such as from driving for a long period of time.
Failure to perform appropriate driving operations and pay careful attention may lead to an accident, resulting in death or serious injury.
When not using the LDA system, use the LDA switch to turn the system off.
Do not use the LDA system in the following situations.
The system may not operate properly and lead to an accident, resulting in death or serious injury.

WARNING
Driving safely is the sole responsibility of the driver. Do not rely solely on the system, and drive safely by always paying careful attention to your sur- roundings.
The dynamic radar cruise control provides driving assistance to reduce the driver’s burden. However, there are limitations to the assistance provided.
Set the speed appropriately depending on the speed limit, traffic flow, road conditions, weather conditions, etc. The driver is responsible for checking the set speed.
Even when the system is functioning normally, the condition of the preced- ing vehicle as detected by the system may differ from the condition observed by the driver. Therefore, the driver must always remain alert, assess the danger of each situation and drive safely. Relying on this system or assuming the system ensures safety while driving can lead to an acci- dent, resulting in death or serious injury.
Observe the following precautions, as there are limitations to the assistance provided by the system.
Failure to do so may cause an accident resulting in death or serious injury.
The dynamic radar cruise control is only intended to help the driver in determining the following distance between the driver’s own vehicle and a designated vehicle traveling ahead. It is not a mechanism that allows care- less or inattentive driving, and it is not a system that can assist the driver in low-visibility conditions. It is still necessary for driver to pay close attention to the vehicle’s surroundings.
The dynamic radar cruise control determines whether the following dis- tance between the driver’s own vehicle and a designated vehicle traveling ahead is within a set range. It is not capable of making any other type of judgement. Therefore, it is absolutely necessary for the driver to remain vigilant and to determine whether or not there is a possibility of danger in any given situation.
The dynamic radar cruise control has limited capability to prevent or avoid a collision with a vehicle traveling ahead. Therefore, if there is ever any danger, the driver must take immediate and direct control of the vehicle and act appropriately in order to ensure the safety of all involved.
WARNING
Switch the dynamic radar cruise control off using the “ON-OFF” button when not in use.
Do not use dynamic radar cruise control in any of the following situations. Doing so may result in inappropriate speed control and could cause an acci- dent resulting in death or serious injury.
Vehicle speed may exceed the set speed when driving down a steep hill.
Note that vehicle-to-vehicle distance will close in when traveling on long downhill slopes.
|
|
The vehicle travels at the speed set by the driver. The desired vehicle-to- vehicle distance can also be set by operating the vehicle-to-vehicle dis- tance switch.
When a preceding vehicle driving slower than the set speed appears
When a vehicle is detected running ahead of you, the system automatically decelerates your vehicle. When a greater reduction in vehicle speed is necessary, the system applies the brakes (the stop lights will come on at this time). The system will respond to changes in the speed of the vehicle ahead in order to maintain the vehicle-to-vehicle distance set by the driver. Approach warning warns you when the system cannot decelerate suffi- ciently to prevent your vehicle from closing in on the vehicle ahead.
When there are no longer any preceding vehicles driving slower than the set speed
The system accelerates until the set speed is reached. The system then returns to constant speed cruising.
Radar cruise control indicator will come on and a message will be displayed on the multi-information display.
Press the button again to deacti- vate the cruise control.
If the “ON-OFF” button is pressed and held for 1.5 seconds or more, the system turns on in constant speed control mode. (P. 260)
Cruise control “SET” indicator will come on.
The vehicle speed at the moment the lever is released becomes the set speed.
Increases the speed Decreases the speed
Fine adjustment: Momentarily move the lever in the desired direction.
Large adjustment: Hold the lever up or down to change the speed, and release when the desired speed is reached.
In the vehicle-to-vehicle distance control mode, the set speed will be increased or decreased as follows:

1 Pulling the lever toward you cancels the speed control.
The speed control is also canceled when the brake pedal is depressed.
However, cruise control does not resume when the vehicle speed is approximately 25 mph (40 km/h) or less.
a vehicle ahead, and sufficient automatic deceleration via the cruise control is not possible, the display will flash and the buzzer will sound to alert the driver. An example of this would be if another driver cuts in front of you while you are following a vehicle. Depress the brake pedal to ensure an appropriate vehicle-to- vehicle distance.
In the following instances, warnings may not occur even when the vehicle-to-vehicle distance is small.
When constant speed control mode is selected, your vehicle will main- tain a set speed without controlling the vehicle-to-vehicle distance. Select this mode only when vehicle-to-vehicle distance control mode does not function correctly due to a dirty radar sensor, etc.
With the cruise control off, press and hold the “ON-OFF” button for 1.5 seconds or more.
Immediately after the “ON-OFF” button is pressed, the radar cruise control indicator will come on. Afterwards, it switches to the cruise control indicator.
Switching to constant speed con- trol mode is only possible when operating the lever with the cruise control off.
Cruise control “SET” indicator will come on.
The vehicle speed at the moment the lever is released becomes the set speed.
Adjusting the speed setting: P. 257
Canceling and resuming the speed setting: P. 259
The vehicle can accelerate by operating the accelerator pedal. After acceler- ating, the set speed resumes. However, during vehicle-to-vehicle distance control mode, the vehicle speed may decrease below the set speed in order to maintain the distance to the preceding vehicle.
If vehicle-to-vehicle distance control mode is automatically canceled for any other reason, there may be a malfunction in the system. Contact your Toyota dealer.
Constant speed control mode is automatically canceled in the following situa- tions:
If constant speed control mode is automatically canceled for any other rea- son, there may be a malfunction in the system. Contact your Toyota dealer.
If the brakes are applied automatically while the vehicle is in vehicle-to-vehi- cle distance control mode, a brake system operation sound may be heard. This does not indicate a malfunction.
In the case of the following and depending on the conditions, operate the brake pedal when deceleration of the system is insufficient or operate the accelerator pedal when acceleration is required.
As the sensor may not be able to correctly detect these types of vehicles, the approach warning (P. 259) may not be activated.
In the case of the following conditions, operate the brake pedal (or accelera- tor pedal, depending on the situation) as necessary.
As the sensor may not be able to correctly detect vehicles ahead, the system may not operate properly.

WARNING
NOTICE
In the following situations, the system may not function correctly due to a sensor malfunction, etc. Have the vehicle checked by your Toyota dealer.
If the error occurs even if there is no ice, snow or mud on the sensor, it is likely that the sensor is malfunctioning.
Do not apply intensive bursts of water or steam to the sensor area. Doing so may result in the sensor malfunctioning.

Vehicle width guide lines
Displays a guide path when the vehicle is being backed straight up. The displayed width is wider than the actual vehicle width.
This lines indicate the estimated vehicle center on the ground.
Displays a point approximately 1.5 ft. (0.5 m) (red) from the edge of the bumper.
Displays a point approximately 3 ft. (1 m) (blue) from the edge of the bumper.
The image adjustment proce- dure for the rear view monitor system screen is the same as the procedure for adjusting the screen. (P. 333)
If dirt or foreign matter (such as water droplets, snow, mud, etc.) is adhering to the camera, it cannot transmit a clear image. In this case, flush it with a large quantity of water and wipe the camera lens clean with a soft and wet cloth.
The distance guide lines and the vehicle width guide lines may not actually be parallel with the dividing lines of the parking space, even when they appear to be so. Be sure to check visually.
The distances between the vehicle width guide lines and the left and right dividing lines of the parking space may not be equal, even when they appear to be so. Be sure to check visually.
The distance guide lines give a distance guide for flat road sur- faces. In any of the following situations, there is a margin of error between the fixed guide lines on the screen and the actual dis- tance/course on the road.
The distance guide lines will appear to be closer to the vehi- cle than the actual distance. Because of this, objects will appear to be farther away than they actually are. In the same way, there will be a margin of error between the guide lines and the actual distance/course on the road.
The distance guide lines will appear to be further from the vehicle than the actual dis- tance. Because of this, objects will appear to be closer than they actually are. In the same way, there will be a margin of error between the guide lines and the actual distance/course on the road.
When any part of the vehicle sags due to the number of pas- sengers or the distribution of the load, there is a margin of error between the fixed guide lines on the screen and the actual distance/course on the road.
The distance guide lines are displayed according to flat surfaced objects (such as the road). It is not possible to determine the posi- tion of three-dimensional objects (such as vehicles) using the vehi- cle width guide lines and distance guide lines. When approaching a three-dimensional object that extends outward (such as the flatbed of a truck), be careful of the following.
Visually check the surroundings and the area behind the vehi- cle. In the case shown below, the truck appears to be outside of the vehicle width guide lines and the vehicle does not look as if it hits the truck. However, the rear body of the truck may actually cross over the vehicle width guide lines. In reality if you back up as guided by the vehicle width guide lines, the vehicle may hit the truck.
Visually check the surroundings and the area behind the vehi- cle. On the screen, it appears that a truck is parking at point
. However, in reality if you back up to point , you will hit the truck. On the screen, it appears that is closest and is farthest away. However,
in reality, the distance to 1
and is the same, and 2 is farther than and .
If you notice any of the following symptoms, refer to the likely cause and the solution, and re-check.
If the symptom is not resolved by the solution, have the vehicle inspected by your Toyota dealer.

WARNING
The ABS is not designed to shorten the vehicle’s stopping distance. Always maintain a safe distance from the vehicle in front of you, especially in the following situations:
Directional control and power may not be achievable while driving on slip- pery road surfaces, even if the TRAC/VSC system is operating.
Drive the vehicle carefully in conditions where stability and power may be lost.
WARNING
The slip indicator light flashes. Always drive carefully. Reckless driving may cause an accident. Exercise particular care when the indicator light flashes.
Be especially careful and drive at a speed appropriate to the road condi- tions. As these are the systems to help ensure vehicle stability and driving force, do not turn the TRAC/VSC/Trailer Sway Control systems off unless necessary.
Trailer Sway Control is part of the VSC system and will not operate if VSC is turned off or experiences a malfunction.
Make sure that all tires are of the specified size, brand, tread pattern and total load capacity. In addition, make sure that the tires are inflated to the recommended tire inflation pressure level.
The ABS, TRAC, VSC and Trailer Sway Control systems will not function correctly if different tires are installed on the vehicle.
Contact your Toyota dealer for further information when replacing tires or wheels.
Using tires with any kind of problem or modifying the suspension will affect the driving assist systems, and may cause a system to malfunction.
The Trailer Sway Control system is not able to reduce trailer sway in all situ- ations. Depending on many factors such as the conditions of the vehicle, trailer, road surface, and driving environment, the Trailer Sway Control sys- tem may not be effective. Refer to your trailer owner’s manual for informa- tion on how to tow your trailer properly.
Observe the following precautions.
Failure to do so may cause death or serious injury.
Do not try to control trailer swaying by turning the steering wheel.
Do not increase speed. Do not apply vehicle brakes.
If you make no extreme correction with the steering or brakes, your vehicle and trailer should stabilize. (P. 190)

GAIN (+/-) selection button
Pressing the GAIN (+/-) buttons will adjust the amount of power that can be outputted to the trailer brakes. The gain can be adjusted from 0 (no trailer braking) to 10 (maximum output) in 0.5 increments. Each press of the button will increase or decrease the gain setting by one step. The gain value will appear in the multi-information display.
*: If equipped
Trailer brake type can be selected by using the multi-information. The combination meter will show which trailer brake type is selected in the multi-information display.
Adjusting this slider position will engage the trailer’s brakes only. If the manual TRAILER BRAKE OUTPUT slider is used while the vehicle brake is applied, the greater of the two outputs will be sent to the trailer brakes.

Changing trailer brake type will cause the current gain setting to reset to zero. Make sure to set the gain as described in the following sec- tion.
Gain setting on trailer brake controller should be set for a specific tow- ing condition. Gain setting should be adjusted each time the vehicle load, trailer load, road conditions, or weather changes. Setting the gain value to 0 will disable the trailer brake controller output.
Make sure the trailer brakes are in good working condition and functioning normally. See trailer dealer if necessary.
Hook up the trailer and make proper electrical connections.
Select the correct type of trailer brakes that are equipped on the trailer by using the multi-information display.
Drive vehicle with trailer attached on a level road surface similar to towing condition and in traffic-free environment. Driving speed should be approximately 20 - 25 mph [35 - 40 km/h].
Using the GAIN (+/-) selection buttons, set a starting gain of 5.0.
While driving 20 - 25 mph [35 - 40 km/h], fully apply the manual TRAILER BRAKE OUTPUT slider.
For confirmation, repeat steps and until desired gain setting is reached (just below point of trailer wheel lock-up).
Please turn off the intuitive parking assist while towing a trailer. If left on, sonar sensors will detect the trailer being towed.
Wheel lock-up occurs when the trailer wheel squeals or tire smoke occurs. Trailer wheels may not lock-up while driving heavily loaded trailer. During this case, adjust the Trailer gain to the highest allowable setting for the towing condition.
The gain setting data will be reset.
WARNING
It is the responsibility of the driver to make sure the trailer brakes are func- tioning normally and adjusted appropriately. Failure to check and maintain trailer brakes may result in loss of vehicle control, crash, or serious injury. Trailer brake control system will work with most electric and electric-over- hydraulic trailer braking systems up to 3 axles (24A output to trailer brakes). Please be sure to test compatibility with the system at low speeds and in a safe area. If a warning message appears in the multi-information display (P. 563), have the vehicle inspected by your Toyota dealer immediately. Some electric-over-hydraulic trailer brakes will take some minimum output to activate. Trailer brake control system will not work with trailer hydraulic surge brakes.
When stopping with ABS activated, output to the trailer might be reduced in order to reduce the likelihood of trailer wheels to lock. The trailer is not equipped with ABS. Drive safely on slippery road surfaces.
