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.

30
TURNING SYSTEM ON/OFF
ADJUSTING SET SPEED
DRCC helps maintain a pre-set distance to a preceding vehicle when the p\
receding
vehicle is traveling at a lower speed. This mode is always selected firs\
t when the
cruise control button is depressed. Constant speed cruise control mode i\
s also
available.
Vehicle will cruise at a set speed, decelerate to maintain selected dist\
ance 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 (1 mph i\
ncrements).

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.

SWITCHING TO CONSTANT SPEED CONTROL MODE
SETTING CONSTANT SPEED CONTROL
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.
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 DRCC.
Refer to a Toyota Owner’s Manual for additional information on DRCC o\
peration,
settings adjustments, limitations, and precautions before attempting to \
use it.
