TOYOTA SAFETY SENSE
SAFETY & EMERGENCY FEATURES
The Pre-Collision System uses a radar sensor and camera sensor to help detect vehicles and pedestrians 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.
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.
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.

(1) Press “” switches and select from the Multi-Information Display (MID).
(2) Press “” switches and select from the MID and then press “.”
(3) Select “Sensitivity” and then press “.”
Each time “” is pressed, the response to the PCS alert timing changes as shown
above. You can press “” to go back to the menu.
Note: PCS is enabled each time the engine switch is turned to Ignition On. The system can be disabled/enabled and the alert timing of the system can be changed. (Alert timing only, brake operation remains the same).
Monocular camera sensor
Millimeter wave radar
As part of the Pre-Collision System, this function is also designed to first provide an alert and then automatic braking if needed.
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.

ADJUSTING DRCC SET SPEED
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.
Vehicle will cruise at a set speed, decelerate to maintain selected distance from a
slower vehicle traveling in front and accelerate back up to the selected speed if the
vehicle in front changes lanes or speeds up.
(1) Push the ON-OFF button. The “RADAR READY” or “” indicator will come on.
(2) Push the lever down to SET speed, push it up to Resume and pull it or depress
brake to Cancel.
(3) Push up to increase the set speed, push down to decrease (1mph increments).

This mode employs a radar sensor to detect the presence of vehicles up to
approximately 328ft (100m) ahead, determines the current vehicle-to-vehicle
following distance and operates to maintain a suitable following distance from the
vehicle ahead.
Note: Vehicle-to-vehicle distance will close in when traveling on long downhill
slopes.

ELECTRONIC BRAKE FORCE DISTRIBUTION (EBD)
BRAKE ASSIST (BA)
VSC helps prevent loss of traction during cornering by reducing engine power and
applying brake force to selected wheels.
Toyota’s VSC monitors steering angle and the direction your vehicle is traveling.
When it senses that the front or rear wheels begin to lose traction, VSC reduces
engine power and applies braking to selected wheels. This helps restore traction
and vehicle control.
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 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.
VSC helps prevent loss of traction during cornering by reducing engine power, and
Traction Control helps maintain traction on loose gravel and wet, icy, or uneven
surfaces by applying brake force to the spinning wheel(s).
Toyota’s TRAC sensors are activated when one of the drive wheels starts to slip.
TRAC limits engine output and applies the brakes to the spinning wheel. This
transfers power to the wheels that still have traction to help keep you on track.
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.
All new Toyota vehicles come standard with the Star Safety SystemTM, which
combines Vehicle Stability Control (VSC), Traction Control (TRAC), Anti-lock Braking
System (ABS), Electronic Brake-force Distribution (EBD), Brake Assist (BA) and
Smart Stop Technology (SST).
Refer to the Owner’s Manual for more details and important information on limitations
to these systems.
