The Blind Spot Monitor is a system that has two functions:
• The Blind Spot Monitor function (assists the driver in making the decision 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
Highlander HV’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.

The parking assist sonar system operates when the vehicle approaches an \
obstacle. The distance from your vehicle to nearby obstacles when parall\
el parking
or maneuvering into a garage is measured by sensors and communicated via\
the
Multi-Information Display (MID), the navigation system screen and audible beeps.
When the sensor detects an obstacle, the direction of and the approximat\
e
distance to the obstacle are displayed on the MID display or the navigat\
ion system
screen by illuminating continuously (far) or blinking (near), and beeping sounds will
switch from intermittent to continuous as you approach and get closer to\
a detected
obstacle. When the sensors detect two or more obstacles, the audible ale\
rts will
respond to the nearest zone.
Always check the surrounding area when using this system.
Refer to section Intuitive parking assist in the Navigation and Multimed\
ia System

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

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 (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 (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.
The 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.

OVERVIEW
FEATURES & OPERATIONS
TOYOTA SAFETY SENSE
SAFETY & EMERGENCY FEATURES
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 the Toyota Owner’s Manual for a list of additional situation\
s 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.

(1) Press “” switches and select from the Multi-Information Display (MID).
(2) Press “
” switches and select from the MID and then press “.”
(3) Select “Sensitivity” and then press “

Each time “
” is pressed, the response to the PCS alert timing changes as shown
above. You can press “
” to go back to the menu.
Note: PCS is enabled each time the engine switch is turned to Ignition On.
The system can be disabled/enabled and the alert timing of the system can be
changed. (Alert timing only, brake operation remains the same).

Millimeter
wave radar
As part of the Pre-Collision System, this function is also designed to f\
irst provide an
alert and then automatic braking if needed.
Refer to a Toyota Owner’s Manual for additional limitations and infor\
mation.Under certain conditions, the PCS system included with the TSS-P package\
may
also help to detect a pedestrian in front of your vehicle using the in-v\
ehicle camera
and front-grill mounted millimeter wave radar. 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 o\
perating or
engaging.

ADJUSTING SET SPEED
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.
Vehicle will cruise at a set speed, decelerate to maintain selected dist\
ance from a
slower vehicle traveling in front and accelerate back up to the selected\
speed if the
vehicle in front changes lanes or speeds up.
(1) Push the ON-OFF button. The “RADAR READY” or “
” indicator will come on.
(2) Push the lever down to SET speed, push it up to Resume and pull it or depress brake to Cancel.
(3) Push up to increase the set speed, push down to decrease (1 mph [1.6 km/h] or 1 km/h [0.6 mph] increments).

approximately 320 ft (100 m) ahead, determines the current vehicle-to-vehicle
following distance and operates to maintain a preset following distance \
from the
vehicle ahead.
Note: Vehicle-to-vehicle distance will close in when traveling on long downhill
slopes.
