To adjust the image on the rear view monitor screen, press the “MENU”\
 button and 
select “Display” on the screen. Select “Camera” to adjust th\
e screen contrast and 
brightness.

Blind Spot Monitor (BSM) and Rear Cross 
Traffic Alert (RCTA) 
(if equipped)
Buzzer** RCTA only
The system is designed to use radar sensors to detect vehicles traveling\
 in the 
Corolla HV’s blind spot when to change lanes. If a vehicle is detecte\
d, the driver 
will be alerted via the outside rear view side mirror indicators.
While in reverse, when a vehicle approaching from the right or left rear\
 of the 
Corolla HV is detected, the outside rear view mirror indicators will fla\
sh. Also, the 
RCTA icon for the detected side will be displayed on the audio system di\
splay, and 
the RCTA buzzer will sound.

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 si\
tuations, 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 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
TSS 2.0 combines an in-vehicle camera mounted in front of the inside rea\
r view mirror 
and a radar mounted in the front grill. These sensors support the driver\
 assist systems.
The Pre-Collision System uses a radar sensor and camera sensor to help d\
etect a 
vehicle or pedestrian or bicyclist 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 system \
will not prevent 
collisions or lessen collision damage or injury in every situation. Do n\
ot use PCS 
instead of normal braking operations under any circumstances. Do not att\
empt to test 
the operation of the Pre-Collision System yourself, as the system may no\
t operate or 
engage, possibly leading to an accident. In some situations, such as whe\
n driving in 
inclement weather such as heavy rain, fog, snow or a sandstorm or while \
driving on a 
curve and for a few seconds after driving on a curve, a vehicle or pedes\
trian or bicyclist 
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. 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-Informat\
ion 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 may apply\
 greater 
braking force in relation to how strongly the brake pedal is depressed.Quick overview-Toyota Safety Sense™ 2.0
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 recognize specific road signs using the forward 
facing camera to provide information to the driver via the display.
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.
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 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.
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.
