TOYOTA SAFETY SENSE™

Pre-Collision System with Pedestrian

Detection function (PCS w/PD)

The Pre-Collision System uses a radar sensor and camera sensor to help detect a

vehicle or pedestrian in front of your vehicle.

As there is a limit to the degree of recognition accuracy and control performance

that this system can provide, do not overly rely on this system. This system will not

prevent collisions or lessen collision damage or injury in every situation. Do not use

PCS instead of normal braking operations under any circumstances. Do not attempt

to test the operation of the pre-collision system yourself, as the system may not

operate or engage, possibly leading to an accident. In some situations, such as

when driving in inclement weather such as heavy rain, fog, snow or a sandstorm or

while driving on a curve and for a few seconds after driving on a curve, a vehicle

may not be detected by the radar and camera sensors, preventing the system from

operating or engaging properly.

Refer to a Toyota Owner’s Manual for a list of additional situations in which the

system may not operate properly.

Pre-Collision Warning

When the system determines that the possibility of a frontal collision is high, a

buzzer will sound and a warning message will be displayed on the Multi-Information

Display (MID) to urge the driver to take evasive action.

Pre-Collision Brake Assist

If the driver notices the hazard and brakes, the system may provide additional

braking force using Brake Assist. This system may prime the brakes and may apply

greater braking force in relation to how strongly the brake pedal is depressed.

Pre-Collision Braking

If the driver does not brake in a set time and the system determines that the

possibility of a frontal collision with a preceding vehicle is extremely high, the

system may automatically apply the brakes, reducing speed in order to help the

driver reduce the impact and in certain cases avoid the collision.

Refer to a Toyota Owner’s Manual for additional information on PCS w/PD operation,

settings adjustments, limitations, and precautions before attempting to use it.

PEDESTRIAN DETECTION FUNCTION

In certain conditions, the PCS system included with the TSS-P package may also

help to detect a pedestrian in front of your vehicle. With Toyota Safety Sense™ P,

PCS uses an in-vehicle camera and front-grill mounted millimeter-wave radar to

help detect a pedestrian in front of your vehicle in certain conditions. The in-vehicle

camera of PCS detects a potential pedestrian based on size, profile, and motion of

the detected pedestrian. However, a pedestrian may not be detected depending

on the conditions, including the surrounding brightness and the motion, posture,

size, and angle of the potential detected pedestrian, preventing the system from

operating or engaging. Refer to a Toyota Owner’s Manual for additional information.

Lane Departure Alert with

Steering Assist function (LDA w/SA)

LDA in TSS-P uses an in-vehicle camera designed to detect visible white and yellow

lane markers in front of the vehicle and the vehicle’s position on the road. If the

system determines that the vehicle is starting to unintentionally deviate from its lane,

the system alerts the driver with an audio and visual alert. When the alerts occur, the

driver must check the surrounding road situation and carefully operate the steering

wheel to move the vehicle back to the center part of their lane.

LDA is designed to function at speeds of approximately 32 MPH or higher on

relatively straight roadways.

In addition to the alert function, LDA w/SA also features a steering assist

function. When enabled, if the system determines that the vehicle is on a path to

unintentionally depart from its lane, the system may provide small corrective steering

inputs to the steering wheel for a short period of time to help keep the vehicle in its

lane.

TURNING THE LDA SYSTEM ON/OFF

Press the LDA switch to turn the LDA system on. Depress again to turn it off.

Note: Operation of the LDA system and

(1) Constant speed cruising when there are no vehicles ahead

The vehicle travels at the speed set by the driver. The desired vehicle-to-

vehicle distance can also be set by operating the vehicle-to-vehicle distance

control.

(2) Deceleration cruising and follow-up cruising when a preceding vehicle

driving slower than the set speed appears

When a vehicle is detected running ahead of you, the system automatically

decelerates your vehicle. When a greater reduction in vehicle speed is

necessary, the system applies the brakes (the brake lights will come on at this

time). The system will respond to changes in the speed of the vehicle ahead

in order to maintain the vehicle-to-vehicle distance set by the driver. A warning

tone warns you when the system cannot decelerate sufficiently to prevent your

vehicle from closing in on the vehicle ahead.

TOYOTA SAFETY SENSE™

DRCC ADJUSTING DISTANCE (CONTINUED)

(3) Acceleration when there are no longer any preceding vehicles driving

slower than the set speed

The system accelerates until the set speed is reached. The system then

returns to constant speed cruising.

Note: When your vehicle is too close to a vehicle ahead, and sufficient automatic

deceleration via the cruise control is not possible, the display will flash and the

buzzer will sound to alert the driver. An example of this would be if another driver

cuts in front of you while you are following a vehicle. Depress the brake pedal to

ensure an appropriate vehicle-to-vehicle distance.

settings adjustments, limitations, and precautions before attempting to use it.

Automatic High Beams (AHB)

AHB is a safety system designed to help drivers see more of what’s ahead at

nighttime without dazzling other drivers. When enabled, AHB uses an in-vehicle

camera to help detect the headlights of oncoming vehicles and tail lights of

preceding vehicles, then automatically switches between high and low beams

as appropriate to provide the most light possible and enhance forward visibility.

By using high beams more frequently, the system may allow earlier detection of

pedestrians and obstacles.

Refer to a Toyota Owner’s Manual for additional information on AHB operation,

settings adjustments, limitations, and precautions before attempting to use it.

ACTIVATING THE AHB SYSTEM

Note: The AHB function only operates at night.

(1) With the engine switch in IGNITION ON mode and headlight switch turned to

“AUTO” or “

” position, push lever away from you.

(2) Depress the Automatic High Beam “

” switch.

The AHB indicator will come on when the headlights are turned on automatically

to indicate that the system is active.

Note: Pull the lever back toward you to turn the AHB system off. The AHB

indicator will turn off and the high beam indicator “

” turns on.

CONDITIONS WHERE AHB WILL TURN ON/OFF AUTOMATICALLY

When all of these conditions are met, high beams will be automatically turned on

(after approximately 1 second):

• Vehicle speed is above approximately 21 mph (34 km/h.)

• The area ahead of the vehicle is dark.

• There are no oncoming or preceding vehicles with headlights or tail lights

turned on.

• There are few street lights on the road ahead.

If any of these conditions occur, the system is designed to automatically turn off

high beams:

• Vehicle speed drops below approximately 17 mph (27 km/h.)

• The area ahead of the vehicle is not dark.

• Oncoming or preceding vehicles have headlights or tail lights

turned on.

• There are many streetlights on the road ahead.

ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM (ABS)

Toyota’s ABS sensors detect which wheels are locking up and limits wheel lockup

by “pulsing” each wheel’s brakes independently. Pulsing releases brake pressure

repeatedly for fractions of a second. This helps the tires attain the traction that

current road conditions will allow, helping you to stay in directional control.

BRAKE ASSIST (BA)

Brake Assist is designed to detect sudden or “panic” braking, and then add braking

pressure to help decrease the vehicle’s stopping distance. When there’s only a split

second to react, Brake Assist can add additional brake pressure more quickly than

just the driver alone can.

ELECTRONIC BRAKE FORCE DISTRIBUTION (EBD)

Toyota’s ABS technology has Electronic Brake-force Distribution (EBD) to help

maintain control and balance when braking. Abrupt stops can cause a vehicle to tilt

forward, reducing the braking power of the rear wheels. EBD responds to sudden

stops by redistributing brake force to enhance the braking effectiveness of all four

wheels.

SMART STOP TECHNOLOGY (SST)

Smart Stop Technology automatically reduces engine power when the accelerator

and brake pedals are pressed simultaneously under certain conditions.

SST engages when the accelerator is depressed first and the brakes are applied

firmly for longer than one-half second at speeds greater than five miles per hour.

SST doesn’t engage if the brake pedal is depressed before the accelerator pedal,

allowing vehicles to start on a steep hill and safely accelerate without rolling

backward.

ENHANCED VEHICLE STABILITY CONTROL (VSC)

Enhanced Vehicle Stability Control provides cooperative control of the ABS, TRAC,

VSC and EPS.

Enhanced VSC helps to maintain directional stability when loss of traction occurs

during a turn.
