Pre-Collision System with Pedestrian
Detection (PCS w/PD)
The Pre-Collision System with Pedestrian Detection (PCS w/PD) is designed to help
detect a vehicle, bicyclist, pedestrian or motorcyclist in certain situations. Using
both a camera and front radar, PCS w/ PD can provide an audio/visual alert to
warn you of a possible collision under certain circumstances. If you don't react, the
system is designed to automatically brake.
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,
bicyclist, pedestrian or motorcyclist may not be detected by the radar and camera
sensors, preventing the system from operating or engaging properly.
Refer to the Toyota "Owner's Manual" for a list of additional situations in which the
system operation may be limited.
Pre-Collision Warning
When the system determines that the possibility of a frontal collision is high, a
buzzer will sound and an icon and 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 Brake Control
If the driver does not brake in a set time and the system determines that the
possibility of a 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.
