Grille-mounted radarForward-facing camera
Sensors
TSS 2.5+ combines a forward-facing camera mounted in front of the inside\� rear view
mirror and a grille-mounted radar mounted in the front grille. These sen\�sors support the
driver assist systems.
The Pre-Collision System with Pedestrian Detection (PCS w/PD) is desig\�ned to
help detect a vehicle, a bicyclist, or a pedestrian in certain situation\�s. Using both
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 or bicyclist may not be detected by the radar and camera s\�ensors,
preventing 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.

TOYOTA SAFETY SENSE™
PRE-COLLISION SYSTEM (CONTINUED)
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.
Refer to the Toyota Owner’s Manual for additional information on PCS \�operation,
settings adjustments, limitations, and precautions before attempting to \�use it.
Monocular camera sensorMillimeter
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 2.5+ pack\�age
may also help to detect a pedestrian or bicyclist in front of your vehic\�le using the
forward-facing camera and front grille-mounted radar. The forward-facing\� camera
of PCS detects a potential pedestrian or bicyclist based on size, profil\�e, and motion
of the detected pedestrian or bicyclist. However, a pedestrian or bicycl\�ist may not
be detected depending on the conditions, including the surrounding brigh\�tness
and the motion, posture, size, and angle of the potential detected pedes\�trian or
bicyclist, preventing the system from operating or engaging.

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 v\�ehicle
up to approximately 328 ft (100 m) ahead, determines the current vehic\�le-to-vehicle
following distance and operates to maintain a preset following distance \�from the
vehicle ahead. These distances vary based on vehicle speed.

Note: Vehicle-to-vehicle distance will close in when traveling on long downhill
slopes.

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 dis\�tance
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 automaticall\�y
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 a\�head
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.

Star Safety System™
Your vehicle comes standard with the Star Safety SystemTM, which combines Anti-
lock Brake System (ABS), Brake Assist (BA), Electronic Brake-force D\�istribution
(EBD), Smart Stop Technology (SST), Traction Control (TRAC) and Ve\�hicle Stability
Control (VSC).
Refer to the Owner’s Manual for more details and important information on limitations
to these systems.
ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM (ABS)
Toyota’s ABS sensors detect which wheels are locking up and limits wh\�eel lockup
by “pulsing” each wheel’s brakes independently. Pulsing release\�s brake pressure
repeatedly for fractions of a second. This helps the tires attain the tr\�action that
current road conditions will allow, helping you to stay in directional c\�ontrol.
BRAKE ASSIST (BA)
Brake Assist is designed to detect sudden or “panic” braking, and \�then add braking
pressure to help decrease the vehicle’s stopping distance. When there\�’s only a split
second to react, Brake Assist can add additional brake pressure more qui\�ckly than
just the driver alone can.
ELECTRONIC BRAKE FORCE DISTRIBUTION (EBD)
Toyota’s ABS technology has Electronic Brake-force Distribution (EBD\�) to help
maintain control and balance when braking. EBD responds to sudden stops \�by
redistributing brake force to enhance the braking effectiveness of all f\�our wheels.
SMART STOP TECHNOLOGY (SST)
Smart Stop Technology automatically reduces engine power when the accele\�rator
and brake pedals are pressed simultaneously under certain conditions.
SST engages when the accelerator is depressed first and the brakes are a\�pplied
firmly for longer than one-half second at speeds greater than five miles\� per hour.
SST doesn’t engage if the brake pedal is depressed before the acceler\�ator pedal,
allowing vehicles to start on a steep hill and safely accelerate without\� rolling
backward.
ENHANCED VEHICLE STABILITY CONTROL (VSC)
Enhanced Vehicle Stability Control provides cooperative control of the A\�BS, TRAC,
VSC and EPS.
Enhanced VSC helps to maintain directional stability when loss of tracti\�on occurs
during a turn.

Floor mat installation
SAFETY AND EMERGENCY FEATURES
There are two types of Toyota floor mats: carpeted and all-weather. Each\� vehicle
has model-specific floor mats. Installation is easy.
To keep your floor mat properly positioned, follow these steps:
• Only use Toyota floor mats designed for your specific model.
• Use only one floor mat at a time, using the retaining hooks to keep the \�mat in
place.
• Install floor mats right side up.
TRACTION CONTROL (TRAC)
VSC helps prevent loss of traction during cornering by reducing engine p\�ower, and
Traction Control helps maintain traction on loose gravel and wet, icy, o\�r uneven
surfaces by applying brake force to the spinning wheel(s).
Toyota’s TRAC sensors are activated when one of the drive wheels star\�ts to slip.
TRAC limits engine output and applies the brakes to the spinning wheel. \�This
transfers power to the wheels that still have traction to help keep you \�on track.
Always align the Δ marks
