WARNING

■ When refueling the vehicle

Observe the following precautions while refueling the vehicle. Failure to do

so may result in death or serious injury.

● After exiting the vehicle and before opening the fuel door, touch an

unpainted metal surface to discharge any static electricity. It is important to

discharge static electricity before refueling because sparks resulting from

static electricity can cause fuel vapors to ignite while refueling.

● Always hold the grips on the fuel tank cap and turn it slowly to remove it.

A whooshing sound may be heard when the fuel tank cap is loosened.

Wait until the sound cannot be heard before fully removing the cap. In hot

weather, pressurized fuel may spray out the filler neck and cause injury.

● Do not allow anyone that has not discharged static electricity from their

body to come close to an open fuel tank.

● Do not inhale vaporized fuel.

Fuel contains substances that are harmful if inhaled.

4

● Do not smoke while refueling the vehicle.

Doing so may cause the fuel to ignite and cause a fire.

● Do not return to the vehicle or touch any person or object that is statically

charged.

This may cause static electricity to build up, resulting in a possible ignition

hazard.

■ When refueling

Observe the following precautions to prevent fuel overflowing from the fuel

tank:

● Securely insert the fuel nozzle into the fuel filler neck.

● Stop filling the tank after the fuel nozzle automatically clicks off.

● Do not top off the fuel tank.

NOTICE

■Refueling

● Finish refueling within 30 minutes. If more than 30 minutes passes, the

internal valve closes. In this condition, fuel may spill out if you continue to

refuel the vehicle. About 5 minutes after the valve is closed, a message

“Close Fuel Lid” will appear on the multi-information display. To refuel the

vehicle again, tighten the fuel tank cap and close the fuel filler door, and

then press the opener switch again.

● Do not spill fuel during refueling.

Doing so may damage the vehicle, such as causing the emission control

system to operate abnormally or damaging fuel system components or the

vehicle’s painted surface.

WARNING

■ Toyota Safety Sense P

The Toyota Safety Sense P 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)

•

Images from the camera sensor (available only when the pre-colli-

sion braking function or the pre-collision brake assist function was

operating)

The pre-collision system does not record conversations, sounds or

images of the inside of the vehicle.

● 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

● Recorded images can be erased using a specialized device.

The image recording function can be disabled. However, if the func-

tion is disabled, data from when the pre-collision system operates

will not be available.

PCS (Pre-Collision System)

The pre-collision system uses a radar sensor and camera sen-

sor to detect vehicles and pedestrians*1 in front of your vehicle.

When the system determines that the possibility of a frontal col-

lision with a vehicle or pedestrian is high, a warning operates to

urge the driver to take evasive action and the potential brake

pressure is increased to help the driver avoid the collision. If the

system determines that the possibility of a frontal collision with

a vehicle or pedestrian is extremely high, the brakes are auto-

matically applied to help avoid the collision or help reduce the

impact of the collision.

The pre-collision system can be disabled/enabled and the warning

timing can be changed. (→P. 272)

*1: Depending on the region in which the vehicle was sold, the pedestrian

detection function may not be available. See the following table for

details.

◆ 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 to urge the

driver to take evasive action.

◆ Pre-collision brake assist

When the system determines that the possibility of a frontal colli-

sion is high, the system applies greater braking force in relation to

how strongly the brake pedal is depressed.

4

◆ Pre-collision braking

When the system determines that the possibility of a frontal colli-

sion is high, the system warns the driver. If the system determines

that the possibility of a frontal collision is extremely high, the brakes

are automatically applied to help avoid the collision or reduce the

collision speed.
