Do Camrys have automatic braking?

Yes, many Toyota Camry models come equipped with automatic emergency braking (AEB) systems as standard or optional features. AEB systems use sensors to detect potential collisions and automatically apply the brakes to help avoid or mitigate an accident.

What is Automatic Braking?

Automatic braking, also known as automatic emergency braking (AEB), is an advanced safety feature that uses sensors such as radar, cameras, or lidar to detect potential collisions. When the system detects an imminent crash, it will automatically apply the brakes to help the driver avoid or reduce the impact of a collision.

Automatic Braking in the Toyota Camry

The Toyota Camry has offered automatic braking as a standard or optional feature on many recent model years:

• The Camry has included Toyota Safety Sense, which includes AEB, as standard equipment on all trims since the 2018 model year.


• Prior to 2018, AEB was available as an optional feature on higher Camry trim levels.


• The AEB system in the Camry can detect vehicles, pedestrians, and cyclists, and will automatically apply the brakes to help avoid or mitigate a collision.

Automatic braking is an important safety feature that can help prevent accidents and protect drivers, passengers, and others on the road. Many modern Camry models come equipped with this technology as standard or optional equipment.

How do I turn off auto braking on my Toyota Camry?

To turn off automatic braking on a Toyota Camry, you can disable specific features like Proactive Driving Assist (PDA) or the Pre-Collision System (PCS) through the vehicle's settings menu or by holding a button, depending on the feature and model year. For the parking assist with brake support (PKSB), it's often disabled from the menu, while some models may have a dedicated button.

• Access the settings: Use the arrow buttons on your steering wheel to navigate to the settings menu (often represented by a gear icon). 
• Navigate to the relevant system: Scroll down to find the specific system you want to disable. This could be "Pre-Collision System" or "Proactive Driving Assist". 
• Turn it off: Select the system and choose the "Off" option. Some systems, like PDA, may have sub-options to turn off individual components like "Deceleration Assist".

• Find the button: Look for a button with a car icon and a squiggly line behind it. This is the traction control off button. 
• Press and hold: With the vehicle stopped, press and hold the traction control button for about three seconds. This will often turn off the Pre-Collision System and other related safety features, but they will reactivate the next time you start the car. 

Parking Assist with Brake Support (PKSB) 

• Check your settings: For the system that brakes when parking, you will likely need to go into the settings menu (as described above) and find the "Parking Assist with Brake Support" (PKSB) option to turn it off. 
• Note on temporary deactivation: Some models may allow you to turn off the automatic parking brake entirely by pressing and holding the parking brake switch while the vehicle is stopped with the brake pedal pressed. 

Important considerations

• Reactivation: Many of these safety features, especially the Pre-Collision System, will automatically turn back on each time you start the car. 
• Individual features: You can often turn off individual components of a system, such as the deceleration assist within the Proactive Driving Assist, which may be less drastic than disabling the entire system. 
• Consult your owner's manual: The exact steps and menu names may differ slightly between model years, so it is always best to consult your vehicle's specific owner's manual for the most accurate instructions.
