Pop Up Hood precautions
●
Before scrapping your vehicle,
make sure to contact your Toyota
dealer.
●
The Pop Up Hood system cannot
be reused once it has operated.
Have it replaced by your Toyota
dealer.
■
PCS-linked Pop Up Hood opera-
tion control
If the PCS (Pre-Collision System)
determines that the possibility of a
collision with a pedestrian or bicy-
clist is high, the Pop Up Hood will be
prepared to operate.
■
Pop Up Hood operational condi-
tions
The Pop Up Hood will operate when
the vehicle detects an impact such
as the following:
●
The front bumper detects a frontal
impact equivalent to or greater
than that of a pedestrian while the
vehicle being driven within the
operational speed range of
approximately 16 to 34 mph (25 to
55 km/h). (The system is operated
by an impact of threshold level or
greater, even in the case of a
minor collision that may not leave
a trace on the front bumper. Also,
depending on the impact condi-
tions or vehicle speed, the system
may operate by a collision with a
light or small object or a small ani-
mal.)
●
In other situations, such as the fol-
lowing the system may operate
when an impact is applied to the
lower part of the vehicle or front
bumper:
• Colliding with a curb
• Falling into a deep hole
• Landing hard
• Hitting the slope of a parking lot,
an undulating road, a protruding
object or falling object

■
Conditions under which the
Pop Up Hood may not operate
properly
●
If a pedestrian collides with the
right or left corner of the front
bumper or the side of the vehicle.
As such impacts may be difficult to
detect, the system may not oper-
ate.
●
If the vehicle speed is not
detected correctly, such as if the
vehicle is sliding sideways, the
system may not operate properly.
■
Conditions under which the
Pop Up Hood will not operate
The Pop Up Hood will not operate in
the following situations:
●
Colliding with a lying person
●
A frontal impact applied to the
front bumper while driving at
speeds outside of the operational
speed range
●
A side impact or rear impact
●
A vehicle rollover (In some acci-
dent situations, the Pop Up Hood
may operate.)
WARNING
■
When the Pop Up Hood is
operated
●
Do not pull the hood lock
release lever. Doing so after the
Pop Up Hood has operated will
further raise the hood and may
cause an injury. Do not drive
with the hood raised, as doing
so may block the driver's vision,
possibly causing an accident.
●
Do not forcibly push down the
hood. As the popped up hood
cannot be lowered by hand,
doing so may deform the hood
or cause an injury.
