Before you take your 2022 Camry through a car wash...

[davidlevine]

If you, like me, have a brand new 2022 Toytota Camry Hybrid and would like to keep it clean and shiny, be aware that it has a Pre-Collision System that will FREAK THE F--K OUT at the onslaught of brushes, soap, and water that is an automatic car wash.

Here's how you disable the Pre-Collision System on the 2022 Camry before going through a car wash:

1. Press ⬇️ on steering wheel left side until "gear" icon is selected


2. Press ➡️ to select "crash" icon


3. Press and hold 🆗 to change settings


4. With "PCS" selected, press 🆗 to turn it off

To turn PCS back on, repeat the above steps, or just turn the car off and on again.

Please note that this is likely true of many other newer cars with collision avoidance systems or automatic windshield wipers, though the procedure for disabling them will vary from car to car. See your car's documentation for details.

I was going to ask the same thing, because it has the hollow ring of "been there, done that."
