Toyota Sienna 2010-2024 Owners Manual: PCS (Pre-Collision System)

When the radar sensor detects possibility of a frontal collision, the pre-collision system such as the brakes and seat belts are automatically engaged to lessen impact as well as vehicle damage.

Pre-collision warning

Toyota Sienna. Pre-collision warning


When a high possibility of a frontal collision is detected, the pre-collision system warning light flashes, a buzzer sounds and a message is shown on the multi-information display to urge the driver to take evasive action.

Pre-collision seat belts (front seat belts only) If the pre-collision sensor detects that a collision is unavoidable, the pre-collision system will retract the seat belt before the collision occurs. The same will happen if the driver makes an emergency braking or loses control of the vehicle. However, when the VSC system is disabled, the system will not operate in the event of skidding.

Pre-collision brake assist

When there is a high possibility of a frontal collision, the system applies greater braking force in relation to how strongly the brake pedal is depressed.

The system may not warn the driver using a warning light, warning display and buzzer when the system detects and judges braking operations.

Pre-collision braking

When there is a high possibility of a frontal collision, the system warns the driver using a warning light, warning display and buzzer.

If the system determines that a collision is unavoidable, the brakes are automatically applied to reduce the collision speed. Pre-collision braking can be disabled using the pre-collision braking off switch.

Disabling pre-collision braking

  1. Pre-collision braking disabled
  2. Pre-collision braking enabled

The pre-collision system warning light will turn on when pre-collision braking is disabled.

Radar sensor

Toyota Sienna. Radar sensor


The radar sensor detects vehicles or other obstacles on or near the road ahead and determines whether a collision is imminent based on the position, speed, and heading of the obstacles.

The pre-collision system is operational when

Conditions that may trigger the system even if there is no possibility of a collision

In any of the following situations where the frontal area of the radar sensor is interrupted, the radar sensor may detect possibility of a frontal collision and the system may be activated.

When the system is activated in the situations described above, there is also a possibility that the seat belts will retract quickly and the brakes may be applied with a force greater than normal. When the seat belt is locked in the retracted position, stop the vehicle in a safe place, release the seat belt and refasten it.

Obstacles not detected

The sensor cannot detect plastic obstacles such as traffic cones. There may also be occasions when the radar sensor cannot detect pedestrians, animals, bicycles, motorcycles, trees, or snowdrifts.

Situations in which the pre-collision system does not function properly

The system may not function effectively in situations such as the following:

Automatic cancelation of the pre-collision system

When a malfunction occurs due to sensor contamination, etc. that results in the sensors being unable to detect obstacles, the pre-collision system will be automatically disabled. In this case, the system will not activate even if there is a collision possibility.

When there is a malfunction in the system, or if the system is temporarily unavailable

The pre-collision system warning light will come on or flash, and warning messages will displayed. (, 556)

WARNING

Limitations of the pre-collision system

The driver is solely responsible for safe driving. Always drive safely, taking care to observe your surroundings.

Do not use the pre-collision system instead of normal braking operations under any circumstances. This system will not prevent collisions or lessen damage or injuries in all cases. Do not overly rely on this system.

Failure to do so may cause an accident, resulting in death or serious injury.

This system has been designed to help avoid and reduce the impact of collisions.

However, the system operates differently depending on the situation (, 301). As a result, the same level of performance may not be expected in all cases. Also, the pre-collision brakes may not operate if the driver is depressing the brake pedal or turning the steering wheel, as the system will determine such conditions as collision avoidance operations.

Cautions regarding the assist contents of the system

By means of alarms and brake control, the pre-collision system is intended to assist the driver in avoiding collisions through the process of LOOKJUDGE- ACT.

There are limits to the degree of assistance the system can provide, so please keep in mind the following important points.

  • Assisting the driver in watching the road The pre-collision system is only able to detect obstacles directly in front of the vehicle, and only within a limited range. It is not a mechanism that allows careless or inattentive driving, and it is not a system that can assist the driver in low-visibility conditions. It is still necessary for the driver to pay close attention to the vehicle’s surroundings.
  • Assisting the driver in making correct judgment When attempting to estimate the possibility of a collision, the only data available to the pre-collision system is that from obstacles it has detected directly in front of the vehicle. Therefore, it is absolutely necessary for the driver to remain vigilant and to determine whether or not there is a possibility of collision in any given situation.
  • Assisting the driver in taking action The pre-collision system’s braking assist feature is designed to help reduce the severity of a collision, and so only acts when the system has judged that a collision is unavoidable. This system is not capable of automatically avoiding a collision or bringing the vehicle to a stop safely without appropriate operations performed by the driver. For this reason, when encountering a dangerous situation the driver must take direct and immediate action in order to ensure the safety of all involved.

When the sensor may not be correctly detecting the vehicle ahead

Apply the brakes as necessary in any of the following situations.

  • When water or snow thrown up by the surrounding vehicles hinders the functioning of the sensor
  • When your vehicle is pointing upwards (caused by a heavy load in the luggage compartment etc.)
  • Vehicles that cut in suddenly
  • Vehicles with small rear ends (trailers with no load on board etc.)
  • Motorcycles traveling in the same lane

Handling the radar sensor

Observe the following to ensure the pre-collision system can function effectively:

  • Keep the sensor and front grille clean at all times.

    Clean the sensor and front grille with a soft cloth so you do not mark or damage them.

  • Do not subject the sensor or surrounding area to a strong impact.

    If the sensor moves even slightly off position, the system may become inaccurate or malfunction. If the sensor or surrounding area is subject to a strong impact, always have the area inspected and adjusted by your Toyota dealer.

  • Do not disassemble the sensor.
  • Do not attach accessories or stickers to the sensor, grille or surrounding area.
  • Do not modify or paint the sensor and grille cover.
  • If the sensor needs to be replaced, contact your Toyota dealer.
