SAFETY & EMERGENCY FEATURES
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 bac\
king up)
The system is designed to use radar sensors to detect vehicles traveling\
in the
Sequoia’s blind spot. If a vehicle is detected, the driver will be al\
erted via the
outside rear view side mirror indicators.
Rear Cross Traffic Alert function:
While in reverse, when a vehicle approaching from the right or left rear\
of the
Sequoia is detected, the outside rear view mirror indicators will flash \
and a buzzer
will sound.

FEATURES & OPERATIONS
Intuitive parking assist
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) and a buzzer.
When the sensor detects an obstacle, the direction and the approximate d\
istance
to the obstacle are displayed on the MID by illuminating continuously (\
far) or
blinking (near), and beeping sounds will switch from intermittent to c\
ontinuous as
you approach and get closer to a detected obstacle. When the sensors det\
ect two
or more obstacles, the audible alerts will respond to the nearest zone. \
Always check the surrounding area when using this system.
Refer to the Owner’s Manual for limitations and more details.

SAFETY & EMERGENCY FEATURES
TOYOTA SAFETY SENSE™
Quick overview-Toyota Safety Sense™ P (TSS-P)
Sensors
TSS-P combines a forward-facing camera mounted in front of the inside re\
ar view
mirror and a grille-mounted radar mounted in the front grille. These sen\
sors support
the driver assist systems.
Forward-facing camera
Grille-mounted radar
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 (LDA)
LDA is designed to provide notification when the system detects an
unintended lane departure.
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 grille-mounted radar system is designed to work with
the forward-facing camera 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.

36
The Pre-Collision System with Pedestrian Detection (PCS w/PD) is desig\
ned to
help detect a vehicle or a pedestrian in certain situations. Using a com\
bination of
a camera and radar, PCS w/ PD can provide an audio/visual alert to warn \
you of
a possible collision under certain circumstances. If you don’t react,\
the system is
designed to automatically brake.
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 or
pedestrian may not be detected by the radar and camera sensors, preventi\
ng the
system from operating or engaging properly.
See toyota.com/safety-sense for more information.
Refer to the Toyota Owner’s Manual for a list of additional situation\
s in which the
system operation may be limited.
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.

Suspension Control
When the system determines that the possibility of a frontal collision i\
s high, the
Adaptive Variable Suspension System will control the damping force of th\
e shock
absorbers to help maintain an appropriate vehicle posture.

operation, settings adjustments, limitations, and precautions before att\
empting to
use it.
PRE-COLLISION SYSTEM (CONTINUED)
Monocular camera sensor
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 the Toyota Owner’s Manual for additional limitations and inf\
ormation.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 forw\
ard-facing
camera and front grille-mounted radar. The forward-facing 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, i\
ncluding
the surrounding brightness and the motion, posture, size, and angle of t\
he potential
detected pedestrian, preventing the system from operating or engaging.
