Quick overview-Toyota Safety Sense™ P (TSS-P)
Sensors
TSS-P combines an in-vehicle camera mounted in front of the inside rear \
view mirror 
and a millimeter-wave radar mounted in the front grill. These sensors su\
pport the 
driver assist systems.
Camera sensor
Radar sensor
TOYOTA SAFETY SENSE™
The Pre-Collision System uses a radar sensor and camera sensor to help d\
etect a 
vehicle or pedestrian in front of your vehicle.
As there is a limit to the degree of recognition accuracy and control pe\
rformance 
that this system can provide, do not overly rely on this system. This sy\
stem will not 
prevent collisions or lessen collision damage or injury in every situati\
on. 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 syste\
m 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 san\
dstorm 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 syst\
em 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 i\
s high, a 
buzzer will sound and a warning message will be displayed on the Multi-I\
nformation 
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 addi\
tional 
braking force using Brake Assist. This system may prime the brakes and m\
ay apply 
greater braking force in relation to how strongly the brake pedal is dep\
ressed.
Pre-Collision Braking
If the driver does not brake in a set time and the system determines tha\
t 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 he\
lp the 
driver reduce the impact and in certain cases avoid the collision.
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 (CRUISE) 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 swit\
ch.
Note: When the engine is turned off, it will automatically default to DRCC.
(1) Constant speed cruising when there are no vehicles aheadThe 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 dis\
tance   
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 automaticall\
y
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 a\
head 
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.
