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

TOYOTA SAFETY SENSE™
AHB is a safety system designed to help drivers see more of what’s ah\
ead at
nighttime without dazzling other drivers. When enabled, AHB uses an in-v\
ehicle
camera to help detect the headlights of oncoming vehicles and tail light\
s of
preceding vehicles, then automatically switches between high and low bea\
ms
as appropriate to provide the most light possible and enhance forward vi\
sibility.
By using high beams more frequently, the system may allow earlier detect\
ion of
pedestrians and obstacles.
Refer to a Toyota Owner’s Manual for additional information on AHB op\
eration,
settings adjustments, limitations, and precautions before attempting to \
use it.
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.
1.5 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 dis\
tance
control.
(2) Deceleration cruising and follow-up cruising

when a preceding vehicle

driving slower than the set speed appearsWhen 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 brake 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 speedThe 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.

ADJUSTING DRCC DISTANCE (CONTINUED)SETTING CONSTANT SPEED (CRUISE) CONTROL
Refer to a Toyota Owner’s Manual for additional information on DRCC o\
peration,
settings adjustments, limitations, and precautions before attempting to \
use it.
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 (40 km/h\
).
To adjust speed or cancel, see steps (2) and (3) of ADJUSTING DRCC SET

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.
