Pre-Collision System With Pedestrian Detection (Pcs W/Pd) - Toyota PRIUS C 2019 Quick Reference Manual

Pre-Collision System with Pedestrian
Detection (PCS w/PD)
The Pre-Collision System uses laser sensors and camera sensor to help detect a
vehicle or pedestrian 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.
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.
Refer to the Toyota Owner's Manual for additional information on PCS w/PD
operation, settings adjustments, limitations, and precautions before attempting to
use it.
