OVERVIEW
FEATURES & OPERATIONS
TOYOTA SAFETY SENSE
SAFETY & EMERGENCY FEATURES
The Pre-Collision System with Pedestrian Detection uses a radar sensor and \
camera
sensor to help detect a vehicle or pedestrian in front of your vehicle.
As there is a limit to the degree of recognition accuracy and control perf\
ormance
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 w/PD instead of normal braking operations under any circumstances. Do n\
ot
attempt to test the operation of the pre-collision system yourself, as the syst\
em 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 sandsto\
rm or
while driving on a curve and for a few seconds after driving on a curve, a ve\
hicle or
pedestrian may not be detected by the radar and camera sensors, preventing the
system from operating or engaging properly.
Refer to the Toyota Owner’s Manual for a list of additional situations in \
which the
system may not operate properly.
Refer to the 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 hi\
gh, a
buzzer will sound and a warning message will be displayed on the Multi-Informa\
tion
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 additi\
onal
braking force using Brake Assist. This system may prime the brakes and may appl\
y
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.

TOYOTA SAFETY SENSE™
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 vehicles up to
approximately 328 ft (100 m) ahead, determines the current vehicle-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.
MIDDLE SHORT
(default setting) LONG
Preceding vehicle
mark
(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 brake 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 you\
r
vehicle from closing in on the vehicle ahead.

SAFETY & EMERGENCY FEATURES
SMART STOP TECHNOLOGY (SST)
Smart Stop Technology automatically reduces engine power when the accelerator\

and brake pedals are pressed simultaneously under certain conditions.
SST engages when the accelerator is depressed first and the brakes are appl\
ied
firmly for longer than one-half second at speeds greater than five miles per h\
our.
SST doesn’t engage if the brake pedal is depressed before the accelerato\
r pedal,
allowing vehicles to start on a steep hill and safely accelerate without rolling\

backward.
Star Safety System™
ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM (ABS)
Toyota’s ABS sensors detect which wheels are locking up and limits wheel lockup
by “pulsing” each wheel’s brakes independently. Pulsing releases \
brake pressure
repeatedly for fractions of a second. This helps the tires attain the traction tha\
t
current road conditions will allow, helping you to stay in directional control.\
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 on\
ly a split
second to react, Brake Assist can add additional brake pressure more quickly t\
han
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 four wheels. Your vehicle comes standard with the Star Safety System
TM, which combines Anti-
lock Braking System (ABS), Brake Assist (BA), Electronic Brake-force Dis\
tribution
(EBD), Smart Stop Technology (SST), Traction Control (TRAC) and Vehicle St\
ability
Control (VSC).
Refer to the Owner’s Manual for more details and important information on limitations
to these systems.
ENHANCED VEHICLE STABILITY CONTROL (VSC)
Enhanced Vehicle Stability Control provides cooperative control of the ABS, TRAC\
,
VSC and EPS.
Enhanced VSC helps to maintain directional stability when loss of traction occur\
s
during a turn.

Floor mat installation
There are two types of Toyota floor mats: carpeted and all-weather. Each vehi\
cle
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.
Always align the “” marks
TRACTION CONTROL (TRAC)
VSC helps prevent loss of traction during cornering by reducing engine powe\
r, and
Traction Control helps maintain traction on loose gravel and wet, icy, or uneven\

surfaces by applying brake force to the spinning wheel(s).
Toyota’s TRAC sensors are activated when one of the drive wheels starts 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.\
