Quick overview-Toyota Safety Sense™ P (TSS-P)
Sensors
TSS-P combines an in-vehicle camera mounted in front of the inside rear view mirror  
and a millimeter-wave radar mounted in the front grill. These sensors support the 
driver assist systems.
Camera sensorRadar sensor
TOYOTA SAFETY SENSE™
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 situations, in 
certain conditions. TSS-P is designed to help support the driver’s awareness, 
decision making and vehicle operation contributing to a safe driving experience.
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 with Steering Assist function (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.
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 function (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.  
Advanced millimeter-wave radar sensor system is designed  
to work with the camera sensor 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.

OVERVIEW
FEATURES & OPERATIONS
TOYOTA SAFETY SENSE
SAFETY & EMERGENCY FEATURES
The Pre-Collision System uses a radar sensor and camera sensor to help detect  vehicles and pedestrians in front of your vehicle. 
As there is a limit to the degree of recognition accuracy and control performance  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 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 system 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 sandstorm or while driving on a curve and for a few seconds after driving on a curve, a vehicle may not be detected by the radar and camera sensors, preventing the system from operating or engaging properly. 
Refer to a Toyota Owner’s Manual for a list of additional situations in which the  system may not operate properly.
Refer to a Toyota Owner’s Manual for additional information on PCS w/PD operation,  
settings adjustments, limitations, and precautions before attempting to use it. 
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 (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 additional 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. 
Pre-Collision Braking If the driver does not brake in a set time and the system determines that 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 help the driver reduce the impact and in certain cases avoid the collision.

(2) Press “” switches and select  from the MID and then press “.”
(3) Select “Sensitivity” and then press “.”
Each time “” is pressed, the response to the PCS alert timing changes as shown 
above. You can press “” to go back to the menu.
Note: PCS is enabled each time the engine switch is turned to Ignition On.  The system can be disabled/enabled and the alert timing of the system can be changed. (Alert timing only, brake operation remains the same).
Monocular camera sensor
Millimeter wave radar
As part of the Pre-Collision System, this function is also designed to first provide an  alert and then automatic braking if needed.
In certain conditions, the PCS system included with the TSS-P package may also help to detect a pedestrian in front of your vehicle. With Toyota Safety Sense™ P, PCS uses an in-vehicle camera and front-grill mounted millimeter-wave radar to help detect a pedestrian in front of your vehicle in certain conditions. The in-vehicle 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, including the surrounding brightness and the motion, posture, size, and angle of the potential detected pedestrian, preventing the system from operating or engaging. Refer to a Toyota Owner’s Manual for additional information.
