TOYOTA SAFETY SENSE™
Toyota Safety Sense™ 2.0 (TSS 2.0) 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 2.0 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
Quick overview-Toyota Safety Sense™ 2.0
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 or
bicyclist, and provide an alert, mitigation and/or avoidance support in
certain conditions.
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.
The Sway Warning function is designed to detect vehicle swaying
(based on the vehicle location and steering wheel operation) and alert
the driver with an audio and visual alert, urging them to take a break.
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.
Road Sign Assist (RSA)
RSA is designed to recognizes specific road signs using the forward
facing camera to provide information to the driver via the display.
Full-Speed Range Dynamic Radar Cruise Control (DRCC)
Full-Speed Range DRCC is designed to help maintain a pre-set
distance to a preceding vehicle when the preceding vehicle is traveling
at a lower speed. The minimum set speed is approximately 20 MPH, but
once activated, the operating speed range is 0-110 MPH.
Lane Tracing Assist (LTA)
LTA contains all the features of LDA described above and additionally
is designed to help keep the vehicle in the center of a lane by assisting
the driver in steering control when using Full-Speed Range DRCC.

ADJUSTING DISTANCE
To change the vehicle-to-vehicle distance

Push the “
” button to cycle
through the settings, which will
change progressively.
This mode employs a radar sensor to detect the presence of a preceding vehicle
up to approximately 328 ft (100 m) ahead, determines the current vehicle-to-vehicle
following distance and operates to maintain a preset following distance from the
vehicle ahead. These distances vary based on vehicle speed.
LONG
(default setting) MIDDLE
SHORT
Note: Vehicle-to-vehicle distance will close in when traveling on long downhill
slopes.
Preceding vehicle mark
(1) (2) (3)
(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 distance
control.
(2) Deceleration cruising and follow-up cruising when a preceding vehicle
driving slower than the set speed appears When a vehicle is detected running ahead of you, the system automatically
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 ahead
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.

Automatic High Beams (AHB)
ACTIVATING THE AHB SYSTEM
CONDITIONS WHERE AHB WILL TURN ON/OFF AUTOMATICALLY
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 streetlights on the road ahead.
If any of these conditions occur, high beams will be automatically turned off: • 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.
AHB is a safety system designed to help drivers see more of what’s ahead at
nighttime while reducing glare for oncoming drivers, 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.
(2) (1)
(1) Press the “
” switch.
(2) Push lever away from you with the headlight switch is in the “

to indicate that the system is active.
Note: Pull the lever back toward you or press the AHB switch to turn the AHB
system off.
The AHB indicator will turn off. To turn switch to “
” position and the manual
