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 LDA ALERT SENSITIVITY
THE SWAY WARNING SYSTEM (SWS) FUNCTION
SWS is a function of LDA and is designed to detect swaying based on the vehicle
location in the lane and the driver’s steering wheel operation. To help prevent
swaying, the system alerts the driver using a buzzer sound and a warning displays
in the MID.
Continuous lane deviations from
swaying.
Gentle swaying from driver’s
inattentiveness.
Acute steering wheel operation after the
number of operations decrease due to driver’s
inattentiveness.
DISABLING THE STEERING ASSIST FUNCTION
The driver can adjust the sensitivity of the LDA (warning) function from the
Multi-Information Display (MID) customization screen.
High - Is designed to warn approximately before the front tire crosses the
lane marker.
Normal - Is designed to warn approximately when the front tire crosses
the lane marker.

Note: If DRCC is turned off and you hold the ON-OFF button for at least 1.5 seconds, the system switches to constant speed control mode.
DISABLING THE LDA SWAY WARNING SYSTEM
DRCC helps maintain a pre-set distance to a preceding vehicle when the preceding
vehicle is traveling at a lower speed. This mode is always selected first when the
cruise control button is depressed. Constant speed cruise control mode is also
available.replaced paragraph from corolla-- most

SWITCHING TO CONSTANT SPEED CONTROL MODE
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 switch.
Note: When the engine is turned off, it will automatically default to DRCC.
TOYOTA SAFETY SENSE™
1.5 seconds
(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 stop 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.
(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.

System reset initialization
1. Push and hold “ SET” button
until the indicator blinks three times.
2. Wait a few minutes to allow
initialization to complete.
Seat belts
SAFETY & EMERGENCY FEATURES
Keep as low on hips as possible
Take up slack
NOTE: If a passenger’s seat belt is fully extended, then retracted even slightly,
the Automatic locking retractor (ALR) will prevent it from being re-extended
beyond that point, unless fully retracted again. This feature is used to help
hold child restraint systems securely.
To find more information about seat belts, and how to install a child restraint system, refer to the Owner’s Manual.
Tire Pressure Monitoring (warning) System (TPMS)
After adjusting tire pressures, or after tires have been rotated or replaced, turn the
ignition switch to “ON” and follow the steps above to reset the TPMS.
Refer to the load label on the door jamb or the Owner’s Manual for tire inflation
specifications.
If the tire pressure indicator flashes for more than 60 seconds and then remains on,
take the vehicle to your local Toyota dealer.
NOTE: The warning light may come on due to temperature changes or changes
in tire pressure from natural air leakage. If the system has not been initialized
recently, setting the tire pressures to factory specifications should turn off the
light.
