It will use the brakes if necessary. But I think it sets a limit at 50% braking power, and the system drops out when you get down to around 25 mph.
it does use the brakes, I use it in the car pool lane and when traffic hits, the car brakes, very cool. Though you do have a good question if the brake light comes on. I would assume so, or else it would be dangerous.
I didn't want to say for sure that the brake lights turn on, since of course you have to be behind the car to see them. But it would be ludicrous if they did not turn on. Easy lawsuit against Toyota.Yah, that's my point about the brake light. I may have to get my friend to follow me on a highway drive and we'll check on it. Anyone else have an idea?
If it's just reducing the power, or charging the battery lightly, I would think the brake lights would not turn on. Same thing as just lifting your foot off the "gas" pedal.According to the manual, brake lights come on if the pre-colision system is activated. There should be some overlap between those 2 systems, but I wouldn't expect the brakes lights to come on in every case.
Does the car stop completely if traffic comes to complete stop?

The car disengages DRCC when you hit 28mph approximately, you will hear a small sound/beep alerting you, but I have not tested if the car will stop since you have PCS. It "should stop and avoid the accident but I have not tested it. I would like to but hard to test
Did someone test if PCS is activated and therefore the car is stopped after (and even though) DRCC is disengaged?
Essentially, the lights come on when friction braking is applied.I just did some experiments with the brake light function and ACC. If you are just slowing down and the power meter is in the middle of the charge area the lights do not come on, once you exceed this point in braking the brake lights do come on.

You can already check youtube videos out for that.Why doesn't anyone try to stand up a piece of cardboard about 3 feet high and test all these systems out?
Worst thing you run over and ruin a piece of cardboard.![]()
