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.

DISABLING 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 the road. If the 
system determines that the vehicle is starting to unintentionally deviate from its lane, 
the system alerts the driver with an audio and visual alert. When the alerts occur, the 
driver must check the surrounding road situation and carefully operate the 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 assist 
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 
(LDA w/SA)
(1) Press “” switches and select  from the Multi-Information Display (MID).  
(2) Press “
” or “” and “” switches to change the setting.
(3) Press “
” to go back to the menu.
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 operation, 
settings adjustments, limitations, and precautions before attempting to use it.

33 The LDA function 
 displays when the Multi-Information Display (MID) is switched 
to the driving assist system information screen.
(1) The system displays solid white lines on the LDA indicator when visible lane 
markers on the road are detected. A side flashes orange to alert the driver when the 
vehicle deviates from its lane.
(2) The system displays outlines on the LDA indicator when lane markers on the road 
are not detected or the function is temporarily cancelled.
Note: When operation conditions are no longer met, a function may be 
temporarily canceled. However, when the operation conditions are met again, 
operation of the function is automatically restored. For example, LDA may not 
function on the side(s) where white/yellow lines are not detectable.
Refer to a Toyota Owner’s Manual for additional information on LDA operation, 
settings adjustments, limitations, and precautions before attempting to use it.
