Toyota Safety Sense

The Toyota Safety Sense consists of the following drive assist

systems and contributes to a safe and comfortable driving expe-

rience:

◆ PCS (Pre-Collision system)

P. 217

◆ LDA (Lane Departure Alert)

P. 230

WARNING

■Toyota Safety Sense

4

The Toyota Safety Sense is designed to operate under the assumption that

the driver will drive safely, and is designed to help reduce the impact to the

occupants and the vehicle in the case of a collision or assist the driver in

normal driving conditions.

As there is a limit to the degree of recognition accuracy and control perfor-

mance that this system can provide, do not overly rely on this system. The

driver is always responsible for paying attention to the vehicle’s surround-

ings and driving safely.

Vehicle data recording

The pre-collision system is equipped with a sophisticated computer

that will record certain data, such as:

ꢀ Accelerator status

ꢀ Brake status

ꢀ Vehicle speed

ꢀ Operation status of the pre-collision system functions

ꢀ Information (such as the distance and relative speed between your

vehicle and the vehicle ahead or other objects)

● Data usage

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:

ꢀ With the consent of the vehicle owner or with the consent of the

lessee if the vehicle is leased

ꢀ In response to an official request by the police, a court of law or a

government agency

ꢀ For use by Toyota in a lawsuit

ꢀ For research purposes where the data is not tied to a specific

vehicle or vehicle owner

Front sensor

The front sensor is located on the

upper side of the windshield. It

consists of 2 types of sensors,

each of which detects information

necessary to operate the drive

assist systems.

Laser sensors

WARNING

■Front sensor

The front sensor uses lasers to detect vehicles ahead of your vehicle. The

front sensor is classified as class 1M laser product according to the IEC

60825-1 standard. Under normal usage conditions, these lasers are not

harmful to the naked eye. However, it is necessary to observe the following

precautions.

Failure to do so may result in the loss of eyesight or severe visual impair-

ment.

●To avoid hazardous laser radiation exposure, never attempt to disassem-

ble the front sensor (e.g. remove the lenses). When disassembled, the

front sensor is classified as a class 3B laser product according to the IEC

60825-1 standard. Class 3B lasers are hazardous and pose a risk of eye

injury under direct exposure.

●Do not attempt to look into the front sensor with a magnifying glass, micro-

scope or other optical instrument within a distance of less than 100 mm

(3.9 in.).

WARNING

■To avoid malfunction of the front sensor

Observe the following precautions.

Otherwise, the front sensor may not operate properly, possibly leading to an

accident resulting in death or serious injury.

●Keep the windshield clean at all times. If the windshield is dirty or covered

with an oily film, water droplets, snow, etc., clear the windshield. If the

inner side of the windshield in front of the front sensor is dirty, contact any

authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable

repairer.

●Do not attach objects, such as stickers,

transparent stickers, etc., and so forth,

to the outer side of the windshield in

front of the front sensor (shaded area in

the illustration).

A: From the top of the windshield to

approximately 10 cm (4.0 in.) below

the bottom of the front sensor

4

B: Approximately 20 cm (7.9 in.)

(Approximately 10 cm [4.0 in.] to the

right and left from the center of the

front sensor)

●Do not install or attach anything to the

inner side of the windshield under the

front sensor (shaded area in the illustra-

tion).

A: Approximately 10 cm (4.0 in.) (Start-

ing from the bottom of the front sen-

sor)

B: Approximately 20 cm (7.9 in.)

(Approximately 10 cm [4.0 in.] to the

right and left from the center of the

front sensor)

●If there is a large difference in temperature between the inside and outside

of the vehicle, such as in winter, the windshield is likely to fog up easily. If

the part of the windshield in front of the front sensor is fogged up or cov-

ered with condensation or ice, the PCS warning light may illuminate and

the system may be temporarily disabled. In this case, use the windshield

defogger to remove the fog, etc. (P. 320, 326)

WARNING

●If the area of the windshield in front of the front sensor is covered with

water droplets, use the windshield wipers to remove them.

If the water droplets are not sufficiently removed, the performance of the

front sensor may be reduced.

●If water droplets cannot be properly removed from the area of the wind-

shield in front of the front sensor by the windshield wipers, replace the

wiper insert or wiper blade.

If the wiper inserts or wiper blades need to be replaced, contact any autho-

rized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer.

●Do not attach window tinting to the windshield.

●Replace the windshield if it is damaged or cracked.

If the windshield needs to be replaced, contact any authorized Toyota

retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer.

●Do not install an antenna in front of the sensor.

●Do not get the front sensor wet.

●Do not allow bright lights to shine into the front sensor.

●Do not dirty or damage the front sensor.

When cleaning the inside of the windshield, do not allow glass cleaner to

contact the lens. Also, do not touch the lens.

If the lens is dirty or damaged, contact any authorized Toyota retailer or

Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer.

●Do not subject the front sensor to a strong impact.

●Do not change the installation position or direction of the front sensor or

remove it.

●Do not disassemble the front sensor.

●Do not install an electronic device or device that emits strong electric

waves near the front sensor.

●Do not modify any components of the vehicle around the front sensor

(inside rear view mirror, sun visors, etc.) or ceiling.

●Do not attach any accessories that may obstruct the front sensor to the

hood, front grille or front bumper. Contact any authorized Toyota retailer or

Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer for details.

●If a surfboard or other long object is to be mounted on the roof, make sure

that it will not obstruct the front sensor.

●Do not modify the headlights or other lights.

●Do not attach anything to or place anything on the dashboard.

■Installation area of front sensor on windshield

When the windshield is fogging up easily, the glass around the front sensor

may be hot due to the heater running. If the glass is touched, it may result in

burns.
