4-5. Using the driving support systems
When the system is activated in the situations described above, there is also
a possibility that the seat belts will retract quickly and the brakes will be
applied with a force greater than normal. When the seat belt is locked in the
retracted position, stop the vehicle in a safe place, release the seat belt and
refasten it.
■
Obstacles not detected
The sensor cannot detect plastic obstacles such as traffic cones. There may
also be occasions when the sensor cannot detect pedestrians, animals, bicy-
cles, motorcycles, trees, or snowdrifts.
■
Situations in which the pre-collision system does not function properly
The system may not function effectively in situations such as the following:
●
On roads with sharp bends or uneven surfaces
●
If a vehicle suddenly moves in front of your vehicle, such as at an intersec-
tion
●
If a vehicle suddenly cuts in front of your vehicle, such as when overtaking
●
In inclement weather such as heavy rain, fog, snow or sand storms
●
When your vehicle is skidding such as the VSC system off
●
When your vehicle is steeply inclined
●
When the axis of the radar is out of adjustment
■
Automatic cancelation of the pre-collision system
When a malfunction occurs due to sensor contamination, etc. that results in
the sensors being unable to detect obstacles, the pre-collision system will be
automatically disabled. In this case, the system will not activate even if there
is a collision possibility.
■
When there is a malfunction in the system
"PCS" warning light will flash and warning messages will be displayed.
(→P. 414) Have the vehicle inspected by your Toyota dealer immediately.
