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 situations, in
certain conditions. TSS-P is designed to help support the driver’s awareness,
decision making and vehicle operation contributing to a safe driving experience.
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.
Full-Speed Range 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.

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.

The AHB indicator will turn off and the 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.
