SAFETY & EMERGENCY FEATURES
Quick overview-Toyota Safety Sense™ P (TSS-P)

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.

DISABLING THE PRE-COLLISION SYSTEM (PCS)
LDA in TSS-P uses an in-vehicle camera designed to detect visible white \
and yellow
lane markers in front of the vehicle and the vehicle’s position on th\
e road. If the
system determines that the vehicle is starting to unintentionally deviat\
e from its lane,
the system alerts the driver with an audio and visual alert. When the al\
erts occur, the
driver must check the surrounding road situation and carefully operate t\
he steering
wheel to move the vehicle back to the center part of their lane.
LDA is designed to function at speeds of approximately 32 mph (50 km/h)\
or higher
on relatively straight roadways.
In addition to the alert function, LDA w/SA also features a steering ass\
ist
function. When enabled, if the system determines that the vehicle is on \
a path to
unintentionally depart from its lane, the system may provide small corrective steering
inputs to the steering wheel for a short period of time to help keep the\
vehicle in its
lane.
Lane Departure Alert with
Steering Assist function (LDA w/SA)
TOYOTA SAFETY SENSE™
Press the PCS switch for 3 seconds or more to turn it off. The warning l\
ight and
message displays in the MID. Depress it again to turn it back on.
Note: The system is enabled each time the power switch is turned to ON
mode.
Refer to a Toyota Owner’s Manual for additional information on PCS op\
eration,
settings adjustments, limitations, and precautions before attempting to \
use it.
