System ON/OFF
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 backing up)
The system uses radar sensors to detect vehicles that are traveling in certain areas
that are not reflected in the outside rearview mirror (the blind spot), and advises
the driver of the vehicles’ presence via the outside rearview mirror indicator.
Refer to the Owner‘s Manual for more details on this system before attempting
to use it.

Quick overview-Toyota Safety Sense P
(If equipped)
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. TSS
is designed to help support the driver’s awareness, decision making and vehicle
operation contributing to a safe and comfortable driving experience.
TOYOTA SAFETY SENSE
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 risk 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 and
provide collision avoidance support and/or damage mitigation.
Dynamic Radar Cruise Control (DRCC)
The distance control mode will cruise at a set speed, decelerate
to maintain a selected distance from a slower vehicle traveling in
front of you and accelerate back up to the selected speed if the
vehicle in front changes lanes or speeds up.
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.
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 white or
yellow lane markings.

TOYOTA SAFETY SENSE
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 (MID) 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.
Changing the pre-collision warning timing
Each time the PCS switch is pressed,
the response to the warning distance
changes as follows:
Far
Middle
Near

Disabling the Pre-Collision System (PCS)
To disable the system
Press the PCS switch for 3 seconds or more.
The PCS warning light will turn on and a message will be displayed on the Multi-
Information Display (MID).
To enable the system
Press the PCS switch again.
The system is enabled each time the engine switch is turned to IGNITION ON mode.
Monocular camera sensor
Millimeter wave radar
As part of PCS, 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.

TOYOTA SAFETY SENSE
The Lane Departure Alert system recognizes visible white or yellow lane markers
via a 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 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.

OVERVIEW FEATURES/OPERATIONS TOYOTA SAFETY SENSE SAFETY AND EMERGENCY FEATURES
The LDA function displays when the Multi-Information Display (MID) is
switched to the driving assist system information screen.
(1) The system displays solid white lines on the LDA indicator when visible lane
markers on the road are detected. A side flashes orange to alert the driver when
the vehicle deviates from its lane.
(2) The system displays outlines on the LDA indicator when lane markers on the
road are not detected or the function is temporarily cancelled.
Note: When operation conditions are no longer met, a function may be
temporarily canceled. However, when the operation conditions are met again,
operation of the function is automatically restored. For example, LDA may not
function on the side(s) where white/yellow lines are not detectable.(2)

Adjusting Lane Departure Alert (LDA) sensitivity
The driver can adjust the sensitivity of
the LDA (warning) function from the MID
customization screen.
High: Warns before the front tire crosses the
lane marker.
Standard: Warns when the front tire crosses
the lane marker.
The sway warning function can detect swaying based on the vehicle location in
the lane and the driver’s steering wheel operation. To help prevent swaying, the
system alerts the driver using a buzzer sound and a warning displays in the MID.
Sway control function
LDA function
When the system determines that the vehicle might
depart from its lane, a warning is displayed on the MID
and the warning buzzer sounds to alert the driver.
Steering Assist function
When the system determines that the vehicle might
depart from its lane, the system provides assistance
as necessary by operating the steering wheel in small
amounts for a short period of time to keep the vehicle
in its lane.
Vehicle sway warning
When the vehicle is swaying or appears as if it may
depart from its lane multiple times, the warning
buzzer sounds and a message is displayed on the
MID to alert the driver.
When the system determines that the vehicle might depart
from its lane, the system provides assitance as necessary by
operating the steering wheel in small amounts for a short
period of time to keep the vehicle in its lane.
If the system detects that the steering wheel has not been
operated for a fixed amount of time or the steering wheel
is not being firmly gripped, a warning is displayed on the
MID and the warning buzzer sounds.
