2018 pre-collision disable?

I mean you also own a 2017 sooooooooo

 

what was the something? -- put up a big piece of cardboard and run at it -- it is hard as hell to keep one's foot from going to the brake -- you cant even be resting your foot on the pedal. I have seen some Subaru owners online run at dumpsters -- personally I would try a piece of cardboard -- there is lots of examples of Subie owners "trying the system" some Subaru dealers will do it on demo rides

 

NOOOO -- I own a 2015 Subaru Outback with their "eyesight" system"-- we love it! I also have my 17 Tacoma

 

Exactly the way the Subaru system works!!
Ignore the tape above my wheel well moldings -- I was test fitting them that day

 

I heard Subaru’s safety cameras where built and exported from North Korea so I’m sure there are some subtle differences from the tacos.

 

I would bet there are some differences between my15 and the 18 Toyota system.
But this "N. Korea thing??
What!!?? Please try to give some validity to this "rumor" (which I will consider BS unless you can prove this).
Have you not heard of the trade embargos that have been in place on N. Korea for some years?

Still stops it doesn't it?

 

Exactly. I gotta stay out of these threads

 

Doing some more digging through the owner's manual tonight I came across this..
"WARNING!
When to disable the pre-collision system...
-when the vehicle is driven in a sporty manner or off-road."

The two most popular trucks are called Sport and OFF-ROAD!
Just so I get this straight, both trucks come with pre-collision default enabled every restart, yet the manual explicitly states they should not
be driven in the likeness of their nomenclature unless a bunch of menu buttons are pressed first? Brilliant.

 

Great observation!!

 

True dat!

 

For those of you not liking the DRCC, just hold the cruise On/Off button a couple seconds when turning it on. You'll see the Cruise light go from DRCC to regular old fashioned cruise. No more DRCC.

 

... also should be disabled if one is using the TRD technology in Pro fashion?

 

Cardboard cutouts maybe? The system is supposed to sense pedestrians. Could make for some fun "testing" videos...

 

Yesterday on the freeway at 75 MPH with no cars within 100 yards in front of or (thankfully) behind me and my system lit up and slowed me down to 30 MPH out of nowhere! Shit was scary! Didn't use cruise the rest of the trip and will be making a visit to Toyota. Also my Pre collision kept coming on and off during the whole trip. No Bueno

 

That blows! Be sure to report back after diagnosis.

 

So basically they told me that it was a combo of my Toyota emblem being "Kinda" dirty and the camera seeing a bridge or possibly a metal plate in the road and slowed me down. There was no codes or anything so i just have to keep a eye on it and hope it doesn't happen again I guess. Guy says he will look into disabling the system for me.

 

It would be great if more '18 owners chimed in to describe your experiences, pro or con!
