Quick overview-Toyota Safety Sense P
(if equipped)
TOYOTA SAFETY SENSE
Sensors
Two types of sensors, located behind the front grille and windshield, detect
information necessary to operate the drive assist systems. The single-lens camera
in front of inside rear view mirror detects and recognizes shapes and visible white
or yellow lane markings.

Radar sensor
Camera sensor

Pre-Collision System (PCS)
The Pre-Collision System uses a radar sensor and camera sensor to help detect
vehicles and pedestrians in front of your vehicle. If the system determines that
the possibility of a frontal collision with a vehicle or pedestrian is high, the system
warns the driver to take evasive action while the potential brake pressure is
increased to help the driver avoid collision or reduce the impact to the vehicle and
it’s occupants.
Note: PCS is enabled each time the engine switch is turned to Ignition On. The
system can be disabled/enabled and the warning timing of the system can be
changed.
Pre-collision warning
When the system determines that the possibility of a frontal collision is high,
a buzzer will sound and a warning message will be displayed on the multi-
information display to urge the driver to take evasive action.
Pre-collision brake assist
When the system determines that the possibility of a frontal collision is high, the
system applies greater braking force in relation to how strongly the brake pedal is
depressed.
Pre-collision braking
When the system determines that the possibility of a frontal collision is high, the
system warns the driver. If the system determines that the possibility of a collision
is extremely high, the brakes are automatically applied to help avoid the collision
or reduce the collision speed.
Toyota Safety Sense (TSS) P is a set of active safety technologies designed to
help prevent or mitigate collisions across a wide range of traffic situations. T66 P
is designed to help support the driver’s awareness, decision making and vehicle
operation contributing to a safe and comfortable driving experience.
Pre-Collision System (PCS)
Provides collision avoidance or damage mitigation support in
speed ranges where rear end collisions are likely to occur.
Lane Departure Alert (LDA)
Provides notification regarding the risN of unintended
lane departure.
Auto High Beams (AHB)
Vehicle detects lights of leading or opposing vehicles and
automatically changes between high and low beam headlight
settings.
Pedestrian Detection Function
Advanced sensor system helps to recognize pedestrians in some
circumstances and provides collision avoidance support and/or
damage mitigation.
Full-Speed Dynamic Radar Cruise Control (DRCC)
The vehicle automatically accelerates, decelerates and stops to
match the speed changes of the preceding vehicle at any speed.
Refer to the Owner’s Manual for more details to understand these functions
and complete safety precautions before attempting to use any of TOYOTA
SAFETY SENSE P functions.

The Pre-Collision System will be disabled.
Note: The system is automatically enabled each time the power switch is
turned to ON mode.
The Lane Departure Alert system recognizes visible white or yellow lane markers
via camera sensor. The system alerts the driver with a warning buzzer sound
and message in the Multi-Information Display (MID) when it detects the vehicle
deviating from or swaying multiple times within its lane.
Lane Departure Alert (LDA) with
Steering Assist (SA) function
Press the LDA switch to turn the LDA system on. Depress again to turn it off.
Note: The system will continue in the last state it was in (ON or OFF)
when the engine is started again.
Turning on the LDA system
As part of PC6 this function is also designed to first provide an alert and then
automatic braking if needed.
Pedestrian Detection Function
The Pre-Collision System also features a pedestrian detection function. Using
a millimeter wave radar and monocular camera sensor, this advanced sensor
system can recognize pedestrians in some circumstances. It may provide detection
capability while driving at low as well as higher speeds.

1 The set speed may also be cancelled by depressing the brake pedal.2 The set speed may be resumed once vehicle speed exceeds 25 mph.
Vehicle will cruise at a set speed, decelerate to maintain selected distance from
a slower vehicle traveling in front and accelerate back up to the selected speed if
the vehicle in front changes lanes or speeds up.

(1) Push the “ON-OFF” button. The “RADAR READY” or “
” indicator will come
on.
(2) Push the lever down to SET speed, push it up to Resume and pull it or depress brake to Cancel.
(3) Push up to increase the set speed, push down to decrease (1mph increments).

Note: If you hold the ON-OFF
button for 1.5 seconds or
more, the system switches to
constant speed control mode.
In vehicle-to-vehicle distance control mode, the vehicle automatically accelerates,
decelerates and stops to match the speed changes of the preceding vehicle at any
speed. ,n constant speed control mode the vehicle runs at a fi[ed speed.
Use the DRCC with full-speed range on freeways and highways.
Adjusting distance
This mode employs a radar sensor to detect the presence of vehicles up to
approximately 400ft (120m) ahead, determines the current vehicle-to-vehicle
following distance and operates to maintain a suitable following distance from the
vehicle ahead.
(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 stop 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.
Note:
Vehicle-to-vehicle distance may lessen when traveling on long downhill
slopes.
