The pre collision system in your new Toyota includes a pedestrian detection feature. Do you know how to turn it off in an emergency? #toyota #safety #toyotasafetysense
I have a 2022 Toyota Tacoma off-road. And you can change this setting while you're driving. It does not matter what speed you're driving at you can disable the pre-collision system or turn it back on or change the sensitivity all while you're driving. And you can also do the same with the lane departure alert.
I wish it would stay off when you turn it off. Mine always goes off when I'm on a winding road and there are cars parked on the right side of the road. The car doesn't seem to realize that the cars aren't in my lane because they're in front of me due to the winding road. It can be kind of dangerous if a person is behind me and this feature causes my car to stop.
Wow. So two things. First, are you sure this is the pre collision and not the lane departure? It sounds like the lane departure and that can be turned off. Just hit the button on your steering wheel. If it is the pre collision, have you gone into the settings and set the sensitivity to minimum? That would help if that’s it.
Just bought my first Toyota RAV4 Hybrid. I turn these "safety" features off and they come back on the next time the car turns on. What a hassle. Not sure that these things add any value to me. It seems to me that over time, drivers will become even more complacent. In any case, I prefer to have full control over the car. If driving, you should be looking at the road and not be distracted. Besides, what do I care about speeding signs on my dashboard (that's already cluttered), I can see them just fine on my own. I'm a bit concerned about exposure to these radar systems not just to me but the pedestrians. I'm also concerned about data privacy: Why am I responsible for any privacy violations of my passengers, especially since I have no obvious (or perhaps any) means to turn these things off permanently? So I paid for these systems I don't want. Much of these are standard and not really an option. How do I permanently disable them? Can a Toyota Service Center remove these systems or at least disconnect them? Currently, I have duct tap on my windshield to block the camera at the top. I have to figure something out about that logo.
The feature is advertised. The fact that you can't disable it indefinitely or permanently is not. Also, Toyota claims that any modification to the vehicle will void the warranty. It's not something that I expected given how modifications to RAV4s appear to be. @@Userxxx840
Also read the privacy notice for Connected Services. Apparently one has to agree to being monitored or go through some process by contacting Toyota to opt-out. And if the driver has passengers, apparently the owner is responsible for notifying passengers of data collection.

Oh I see I got scared when that red brake light started flashing and making sounds on my dashboard. So this brake warning does not mean my break fluid needs maitnence right?
I've got a 2018 the Collision works, but it doesn't act like it's activating. Anything doesn't detect. Should I say any car or anything? So what's going on
Hi, I have a 2018 Toyota Corolla, and I tried this but it still says “pre-collision system malfunction, visit your dealer”. Is there something else I can do?
I don't know if you went but this is like $600+ to try and fix at the dealer in a Corolla. I have to live with that error blinking forever now, and cruise control won't work but that's a lot of money for an older car.
Winding roads are an issue with this feature also. Mine always goes off when I'm on a winding road and there are cars parked on the right side of the road. The car doesn't seem to realize that the cars aren't in my lane because they're in front of me due to the winding road. It can be kind of dangerous if a person is behind me and this feature causes my car to stop.
@@afanasibushmanov7463 I got a car with this same feature recently and almost got into accidents twice because of it. There are 2 lanes with 1 car space between vehicles if you try overtaking the brakes immediately and loudly apply itself almost making you get rear ended because it looks as if you cut someone off and smash your brakes. So I can only drive comfortably without this feature.
@@afanasibushmanov7463 and the lane keep assists is cool an all until there are pot holes or a stalled car 1/4 of which is on the road way then the car steers you into the car-pot hole if you leave the lane to avoid collision. It's like training wheels for someone knowing how to ride already it'll trip you up.
@@t_money_third9654 they should really reduce the sensitivity on this if they're going to make it the default mode. I put my sensitivity all the way down and it's still too sensitive in my opinion.
The pre collision doesn’t have a reset. At least not a manual one. If it engages, it will hold the brake for three seconds and then disengage. It does not shut off the vehicle. Something else is going on with your truck
Thanks Steve! Can you tell me if there is a fuse that works with the PCS? We left our sunroof open and it rained. Now says "PCS malfunction" , "Radar not avaliable", and our cruis control won't work. Is there a fuse that I can check before taking to the dealer?? Any advice/help appreciated!!!!
Yikes. Not sure what to tell you on that. The way these things are now, I wouldn’t even mess with the fuses although there are a couple of boxes that can be checked. Usually one under the hood and another under the driver side dash. The PCS malfunction light can come on if the radar is obstructed so make sure the grill is clean before you do anything though. Honestly it sounds like a trip to your dealer is in order.
Like what i always said since years ago: wait until criminals understand this system and start stoping their victims at night with plastic manequins. 😂😂😂
That is SO annoying. That's what prevented me from buying a Toyota. I should be able to turn it on or off like you can with every other car manufacturer. Same thing with the lane assist.
Huh? The lane assist does stay off. Just hit the button on the steering wheel. Pre collision can’t be permanently turned off because it is a federally mandated feature
My 1990 Corolla doesn't have that problem. Why don't they just go back to analog odometer where they can mass produce and sell them cheap. Those sensors and back up cameras are for idiots.
I am not sure about mortal threats. But this system is actually dangerous in Saudi Arabia. There is a lack of etiquette in driving and most cars speed. At U-turns people will create a double lane. When making the u-turn in the designated lane, the person creating the double lane comes in on you and gets close to the car while in the turn, the system will sens the proximity of the car and slam the brake. The cars that are speeding up from behind will almost rear end you because your car came to a full stop. A system effective in countries with normal driving but is not effective where drivers are aggressive, speedy, and within inches of your car.
