Toyota Safety Sense
3.0
The Toyota Safety Sense 3.0
consists of the driving
assist systems and contrib-
utes to a safe and comfort-
able driving experience:
WARNING
■Toyota Safety Sense 3.0
The Toyota Safety Sense 3.0
operates under the assumption
that the driver will drive safely,
and is designed to help reduce
the impact to the occupants in a
collision and assist the driver
under normal driving conditions.
As there is a limit to the degree of
recognition accuracy and control
performance that this system can
provide, do not ov erly rely on this
system. The driver is solely
responsible for paying attention to
the vehicle’s surroundings and
driving safely.
■For safe use
●Do not overly rely on this sys-
tem. The driver is solely respon-
sible for paying attention to the
vehicle’s surroundings and driv-
ing safely. This system may not
operate in all situations and pro-
vided assistance is limited.
Over-reliance on this system to
drive the vehicle safely may
lead to an accident resulting in
death or serious injury.
●Do not attempt to test the oper-
ation of the system, as it may
not operate properly, possibly
leading to an accident.
●If attention is necessary while
performing driving operations or
a system malfunction occurs, a
warning message or warning
buzzer will be operated. If a
warning message is displayed
on the display, follow the
instructions displayed.
●Depending on external noise,
the volume of the audio system,
etc. it may be difficult to hear the
warning buzzer. Also, depend-
ing on the road conditions, it
may be difficult to recognize the
operation of the system.
■When it is necessary to dis-
able the system
In the following si tuations, make
sure to disable the system.
Failure to do so may lead to the
system not operating properly,
possibly leading to an accident
resulting in death o r serious injury.
●When the vehicle is tilted due to
being overloaded or having a
flat tire
●When driving at extremely high
speeds
●When towing another vehicle
●When the vehicle is being trans-
ported by a truck, ship, train,
etc.
●When the vehicle is raised on a
lift and the tires are allowed to
rotate freely
●When inspecting the vehicle
using a drum tester such as a
chassis dynamometer or speed-
ometer tester, or when using an
on vehicle wheel balancer
●When the vehicle is driven in a
sporty manner or off-road
●When using an automatic car
wash
2484-5. Using the driving support systems
Through control state “warning
phase 1” and “warning phase 2”,
the system determines if the
driver is aware and responsive
while outputting a warning and
controlling the vehicle speed. If
the system determines the
driver is not responsive, it will
operate in control state “deceler-
ation stop phase” and “stop hold
phase” and decelerate and stop
the vehicle. It will then operate
continuously in “stop hold
phase”.
■Operating conditions
This system opera tes when all of
the following cond itions are met:
●When the LTA is on
●When the vehicle speed is
approximately 30 mph (50 km/h)
or more
■Operation cancelation condi-
tions
In the following si tuations, system
operation will be canceled:
●When LTA control has been can-
celed (the LTA switch has been
pressed, etc.)
●When the dynamic radar cruise
control has been canceled
●When driver operations are
detected (the steering wheel is
held, the brake pedal, accelerator
pedal, parking brake, hazard light
switch, or turn sig nal lever is oper-
ated)
●When the driving assist switch is
pressed while in the stop and hold
phase
●When the power s witch has been
turned from ON to off
●Situations in whic h some or all of
the functions of the system cannot operate:
P. 2 0 6
■LTA control when operation is
canceled
When emergency driving stop sys-
tem operation is canceled, LTA con-
trol may also be canceled.
If driving operations are not
detected after the hands off
steering wheel warning oper-
ates, a buzzer will sound inter-
mittently and a message will be
displayed to warn the driver, and
the system will judge if the driver
is responsive or not. If driving
operations, such as holding the
steering wheel, are not per-
formed within a certain amount
of time, the system will enter
warning phase 2.
After entering warning phase 2,
a buzzer will sound in short
intervals and a message will be
displayed to warn the driver, and
the vehicle will slowly deceler-
ate. If driving operations, such
as holding the steering wheel,
are not performed within a cer-
tain amount of time, the system
will determine that the driver is
not responsive and enter the
deceleration stop phase.
The audio system will be muted
until the driver becomes respon-
sive.

WARNING
■To ensure the system can
operate properly
Safe exit assist sensors are
installed behind the left and right
sides of the rear bumper respec-
tively. Observe the following to
ensure the safe exit assist can
operate correctly.
●Keep the sensors and the sur-
rounding areas on the rear
bumper clean at all times.
If a sensor or its surrounding area
on the rear bumper is dirty or cov-
ered with snow, the Safe Exit
Assist may not operate and a
warning message will be dis-
played. In this situation, clear off
the dirt or snow and drive the
vehicle with the operation condi-
tions of the SEA function satisfied
for approximately 10 minutes. If
the warning message does not
disappear, have the vehicle
inspected by your Toyota dealer.
●Do not attach a ccessories,
stickers (including transparent
stickers), aluminum tape, etc. to
a sensor or its surrounding area
on the rear bumper.
●Do not subject a sensor or its
surrounding area on the rear
bumper to a strong impact.
If a sensor is moved even
slightly off position, the system
may malfunction and vehicles
may not be detected correctly.
In the following si tuations, have
your vehicle inspected by your
Toyota dealer.
• A sensor or its surrounding area is subject to a strong impact.
• If the surrounding area of a sen- sor is scratched or dented, or
part of them h as become dis-
connected.
●Do not disassemble the sensor.
●Do not modify the sensor or sur-
rounding area on the rear
bumper.
●If a sensor or the rear bumper
needs to be removed/installed
or replaced, contact your Toyota
dealer.
●Do not paint the rear bumper
any color other t han an official
Toyota color.

3066-1. Maintenance and care
Remove dirt using a
water-dampened soft cloth or
synthetic chamois.
Wipe the surface with a dry,
soft cloth to remove any
remaining moisture.
■Cleaning the areas with
satin-finish metal accents
The metal areas use a layer of real
metal for the surface. It is necessary
to clean them regularly. If dirty areas
are left uncleaned for long periods
of time, they may be difficult to
clean.
Remove dirt and dust using a
vacuum cleaner.
Wipe off any excess dirt and
dust with a soft cloth damp-
ened with diluted detergent.
Use a diluted water solution of
approximately 5% neutral wool
NOTICE
• Seats: Alkaline or acidic solu-
tions, such as thinner, benzene,
and alcohol
• Steering wheel: Organic sub- stances, such as thinner, and
cleaner that contains alcohol
●Do not use polish wax or polish
cleaner. The instrument panel’s
or other interior part’s painted
surface may be damaged.
■Preventing damage to leather
surfaces
Observe the following precautions
to avoid damage to and deteriora-
tion of leather surfaces:
●Remove any dust or dirt from
leather surfaces immediately.
●Do not expose the vehicle to
direct sunlight for extended peri-
ods of time. Park the vehicle in
the shade, especially during
summer.
●Do not place items made of
vinyl, plastic, or containing wax
on the upholstery, as they may
stick to the leather surface if the
vehicle interior heats up signifi-
cantly.
■Water on the floor
Do not wash the vehicle floor with
water.
Vehicle systems such as the
audio system may be damaged if
water comes into contact with
electrical components such as the
audio system above or under the
floor of the vehicle. Water may
also cause the body to rust.
■When cleaning the inside of
the windshield
Do not allow glass cleaner to con-
tact the lens. Also, do not touch
the lens. (
P.202)
■Cleaning the inside of the rear
window
●Do not use glass cleaner to
clean the rear window, as this
may cause damage to the rear
window defogger heater wires
or antenna. Use a cloth damp-
ened with lukewarm water to
gently wipe the window clean.
Wipe the window in strokes run-
ning parallel to the heater wires
or antenna.
●Be careful not to scratch or
damage the heater wires or
antenna.
