FEATURES & OPERATIONS
Intelligent Clearance Sonar with Rear Cross
Traffic Braking (ICS w/RCTB)
(if equipped)
When parking, this available system scans for stationary objects, like walls or
lampposts. Should the system anticipate a collision, it will emit an audible and
visible alert, reduce engine or motor output, and automatically apply the brakes
if needed. If your vehicle is equipped with ICS, the RCTA system will also have a
braking function that may apply the vehicle’s brakes if the system detects crossing
vehicles while the Camry is backing up.
System ON/OFF on the
Multi-Information Display.
CHANGE SETTINGS
The Blind Spot Monitor is a system that has two functions:
• The Blind Spot Monitor function (assists the driver in decision-making when
changing lanes)
• The Rear Cross Traffic Alert function (assists the driver when backing up)
The system is designed to use radar sensors to detect vehicles traveling in the
Camry’s blind spot and advises the driver of the vehicles’ presence via the outside
rear view mirror indicators.
Refer to the Owner‘s Manual for limitations and more details on this system before
attempting to use it.

A mobile device can be charged wirelessly on the tray. (1) Press the wireless
charger power switch and the green operation indicator light turns on. (2) Place a
mobile device on the tray as shown in the illustration. An amber indicator illuminates
while charging is in progress. When charging is complete, the indicator illuminates
green. Some phones, cases or cover type wireless chargers may not cause the
green indicator to illuminate even though it is fully charged.

wave radar
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.

SETTING CONSTANT SPEED (CRUISE) 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 button again to turn the system off
first, then push and hold button for at least 1.5 seconds to switch.
Note: When the engine is turned off, it will automatically default to DRCC.

slower than the set speed
The system accelerates until the set speed is reached. The system then
returns to constant speed cruising.

OVERVIEW FEATURES & OPERATIONS TOYOTA SAFETY SENSE SAFETY & EMERGENCY FEATURES

40 AHB is a safety system designed to help drivers see more of what’s ahead at
nighttime and reduce glare for oncoming drivers. When enabled, AHB uses an
in-vehicle camera to help detect the headlights of oncoming vehicles and tail lights
of preceding vehicles, then automatically switches between high and low beams
as appropriate to provide the most light possible and enhance forward visibility.
By using high beams more frequently, the system may allow earlier detection of
pedestrians and obstacles.
Refer to the Toyota Owner’s Manual for additional information on AHB operation,
settings adjustments, limitations, and precautions before attempting to use it.
Automatic High Beams (AHB)
(1) With the engine switch in IGNITION ON mode, turn the headlight switch to
“AUTO” or “
“position.
(2) Push lever away from you.
(3) Press the “
” switch.

The AHB indicator will come on when the headlights are turned on automatically
to indicate that the system is active.

The AHB indicator will turn off. To turn switch to “
” position and the manual
high beam indicator “
” turns on.
When all of these conditions are met, high beams will be automatically turned on
(after approximately 1 second):
• Vehicle speed is above approximately 21 mph (34 km/h.)
• The area ahead of the vehicle is dark.
• There are no oncoming or preceding vehicles with headlights or tail lights turned
on.
• There are few street lights on the road ahead.
If any of these conditions occur, the system is designed to automatically turn off
high beams:
• Vehicle speed drops below approximately 17 mph (27 km/h.)
• The area ahead of the vehicle is not dark.
• Oncoming or preceding vehicles have headlights or tail lights turned on.
• There are many streetlights on the road ahead.

SAFETY & EMERGENCY FEATURES
Star Safety System™
VEHICLE STABILITY CONTROL (VSC)
VSC helps prevent loss of traction during cornering by reducing engine power and
applying brake force to selected wheels.
Toyota’s VSC monitors steering angle and the direction your vehicle is traveling.
When it senses that the front or rear wheels begin to lose traction, VSC reduces
engine power and applies braking to selected wheels. This helps restore traction
and vehicle control.
ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM (ABS)
Toyota’s ABS sensors detect which wheels are locking up and limits wheel lockup
by “pulsing” each wheel’s brakes independently. Pulsing releases brake pressure
repeatedly for fractions of a second. This helps the tires attain the traction that
current road conditions will allow, helping you to stay in directional control.
BRAKE ASSIST (BA)
Brake Assist is designed to detect sudden or “panic” braking, and then add braking
pressure to help decrease the vehicle’s stopping distance. When there’s only a split
second to react, Brake Assist can add additional brake pressure more quickly than
just the driver alone can.
ELECTRONIC BRAKE FORCE DISTRIBUTION (EBD)
Toyota’s ABS technology has Electronic Brake-force Distribution (EBD) to help
maintain control and balance when braking. EBD responds to sudden stops by
redistributing brake force to enhance the braking effectiveness of all four wheels. Your vehicle comes standard with the Star Safety System
TM, which combines Anti-
lock Braking System (ABS), Brake Assist (BA), Electronic Brake-force Distribution
(EBD), Smart Stop Technology (SST), Traction Control (TRAC) and Vehicle Stability
Control (VSC),
