Quick overview-Toyota Safety Sense P
(If equipped)
Toyota Safety Sense (TSS) P is a set of active safety technologies designed to
help prevent or mitigate collisions across a wide range of traffic situations. TSS
is designed to help support the driver’s awareness, decision making and vehicle
operation contributing to a safe and comfortable driving experience.
TOYOTA SAFETY SENSE
Pre-Collision System (PCS)
Provides collision avoidance or damage mitigation support in
speed ranges where rear end collisions are likely to occur.
Lane Departure Alert (LDA)
Provides notification regarding the risk of unintended
lane departure.
Auto High Beams (AHB)
Vehicle detects lights of leading or opposing vehicles and
automatically changes between high and low beam headlight
settings.
Pedestrian Detection Function
Advanced sensor system helps to recognize pedestrians and
provide collision avoidance support and/or damage mitigation.
Dynamic Radar Cruise Control (DRCC)
The distance control mode will cruise at a set speed, decelerate
to maintain a selected distance from a slower vehicle traveling in
front of you and accelerate back up to the selected speed if the
vehicle in front changes lanes or speeds up.
Refer to the Owner’s Manual for more details to understand these functions
and complete safety precautions before attempting to use any of TOYOTA
SAFETY SENSE P functions.
Sensors
Two types of sensors, located behind the front grille and windshield, detect
information necessary to operate the drive assist systems. The single-lens camera
in front of inside rear view mirror detects and recognizes shapes and white or
yellow lane markings.

1 The set speed may also be cancelled by depressing the brake pedal.2 The set speed may be resumed once vehicle speed exceeds 25 mph.
This function enables the vehicle to recognize and judge the distance of the
leading vehicle and to drive within the set distance while also maintaining the set
speed if the speed of leading vehicle permits, or if the leading vehicle changes
lanes. This mode is always selected first when the cruise control button is
depressed. Constant speed cruise control mode is also available.

Switching to constant speed control mode
(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.
Note: When the engine is turned off, it will automatically default to DRCC. If you are already using Dynamic Radar Cruise Control (DRCC) “
”, push ON-OFF
button to turn the system off first, then push and hold ON-OFF button for at least
1.5 seconds to switch.
