How to use Toyota PCS?
2 Answers
First, press the "OK" button on the left side of the steering wheel to bring up the instrument panel settings center. Enter the settings, use the directional keys on the steering wheel to select "PCS" and turn it on. It can automatically follow the vehicle ahead, accelerate, decelerate, and maintain speed, basically freeing your right foot.
I've been driving a Toyota for over a year now, and the PCS system is enabled by default. After starting the engine, a small car icon appears on the dashboard to indicate it's active. If I want to adjust the settings, I use the buttons on the steering wheel or the central control screen to access the safety menu, where there's a pre-collision sensitivity option that can be set to high, medium, or low. In city driving, I lower the sensitivity to avoid false alarms, while on highways, I keep it at medium for timely warnings. When encountering sudden braking or obstacles ahead, the system beeps and flashes to alert me. If I'm slow to react, it can automatically brake to help avoid a collision. I make it a habit to regularly check the icon status to ensure the system is functioning properly. This feature is especially useful for beginners and has helped me avoid several rear-end collision risks in traffic jams.
