Quick overview-Toyota Safety Sense™ P (TSS-P)
Sensors
TSS-P combines a forward-facing camera mounted in front of the inside re\
ar view 
mirror and a grille-mounted radar mounted in the front grille. These sen\
sors support 
the driver assist systems.
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 si\
tuations, in 
certain conditions. TSS-P is designed to help support the driver’s aw\
areness, 
decision making and vehicle operation contributing to a safe driving exp\
erience.
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 (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 (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. 
The advanced grille-mounted radar system is designed to work with 
the forward-facing camera to help recognize a preceding pedestrian, 
and provide an alert, mitigation and/or avoidance support in certain 
conditions.
Full-Speed Range Dynamic Radar Cruise Control (DRCC)
Full-Speed Range DRCC is designed to help maintain a pre-set 
distance to a preceding vehicle when the preceding vehicle is traveling \
at a lower speed. The minimum set speed is approximately 20 MPH, but 
once activated, the operating speed range is 0-110 MPH.
