TOYOTA SAFETY SENSE™
Toyota Safety Sense™ P (TSS-P) is a set of active safety technologies designed
to help mitigate or prevent collisions across a wide range of traffic si\
tuations, in
certain conditions. TSS-P is designed to help support the driver’s aw\
areness,
decision making and vehicle operation contributing to a safe driving exp\
erience.
Refer to the Owner’s Manual for operation, setting adjustments, limitations and
more details to understand these functions and complete safety precautions. For
more information, please go to http://www.toyota.com/safety-sense
Lane Departure Alert with Steering Assist function (LDA w/SA)
LDA w/SA is designed to provide notification when the system
detects an unintended lane departure.
The Steering Assist function is designed to provide small
corrective steering inputs to the steering wheel for a short
period of time to help keep the vehicle in its lane.
Automatic High Beams (AHB)
AHB is designed to detect the headlights of oncoming vehicles
and the tail lights of preceding vehicles and switch between
high beams and low beams as appropriate.
Pre-Collision System with Pedestrian Detection function (PCS w/PD)
PCS w/PD is designed to provide alert, mitigation, and/or
avoidance support in certain conditions, when the system
detects a potential collision with a preceding vehicle is likely to
occur.
Advanced millimeter-wave radar sensor system is designed
to work with the camera sensor to help recognize a preceding
pedestrian, and provide an alert, mitigation and/or avoidance
support in certain conditions.
Dynamic Radar Cruise Control (DRCC)
DRCC is designed to help maintain a pre-set distance to a
preceding vehicle when the preceding vehicle is traveling at a
lower speed.

SWITCHING TO CONSTANT SPEED CONTROL MODE
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 fl\
ash and the
buzzer will sound to alert the driver. An example of this would be if an\
other driver
cuts in front of you while you are following a vehicle. Depress the brak\
e pedal to
ensure an appropriate vehicle-to-vehicle distance.
If you are already using 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 swit\
ch.
Note: When the engine is turned off, it will automatically default to DR\
CC.
Refer to a Toyota Owner’s Manual for additional information on DRCC o\
peration,
settings adjustments, limitations, and precautions before attempting to \
use it.
1.5 seconds
(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.
TOYOTA SAFETY SENSE™
AHB is a safety system designed to help drivers see more of what’s ah\
ead at
nighttime without dazzling other drivers. When enabled, AHB uses an in-v\
ehicle
camera to help detect the headlights of oncoming vehicles and tail light\
s of
preceding vehicles, then automatically switches between high and low bea\
ms
as appropriate to provide the most light possible and enhance forward vi\
sibility.
By using high beams more frequently, the system may allow earlier detect\
ion of
pedestrians and obstacles.
Refer to a Toyota Owner’s Manual for additional information on AHB op\
eration,
settings adjustments, limitations, and precautions before attempting to \
use it.
(1) With the engine switch in IGNITION ON mode and headlight switch tu\
rned 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 automat\
ically
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.
When all of these conditions are met, high beams will be automatically t\
urned on
(after approximately 1 second): • Vehicle speed is above approximately 25 mph (40 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 automaticall\
y 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 lightsturned on.
• There are many streetlights on the road ahead.
