TOYOTA SAFETY SENSE™
Toyota Safety Sense™ 2.0 (TSS 2.0) 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 2.0 is designed to help support the driver’s \
awareness,
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
TSS 2.0 combines an in-vehicle camera mounted in front of the inside rea\
r view mirror
and a radar mounted in the front grill. These sensors support the driver\
assist systems.
The Pre-Collision System uses a radar sensor and camera sensor to help d\
etect a
vehicle or pedestrian or bicyclist in front of your vehicle.
As there is a limit to the degree of recognition accuracy and control pe\
rformance 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 n\
ot use PCS
instead of normal braking operations under any circumstances. Do not att\
empt to test
the operation of the Pre-Collision System yourself, as the system may no\
t operate or
engage, possibly leading to an accident. In some situations, such as whe\
n 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 or pedes\
trian or bicyclist
may not be detected by the radar and camera sensors, preventing the syst\
em from
operating or engaging properly.
Refer to the Toyota Owner’s Manual for a list of additional situation\
s in which the
system may not operate properly. Pre-Collision Warning
When the system determines that the possibility of a frontal collision i\
s high, a buzzer
will sound and a warning message will be displayed on the Multi-Informat\
ion 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 addi\
tional 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.Quick overview-Toyota Safety Sense™ 2.0
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. Road Sign Assist (RSA)
RSA is designed to recognize specific road signs using the forward
facing camera to provide information to the driver via the display.
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 millimeter-wave radar sensor system is designed to work
with the camera sensor to help recognize a preceding pedestrian or
bicyclist, 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.
Lane Tracing Assist (LTA)
LTA is designed to help keep the vehicle in the center of a lane by
assisting the driver in steering control when using Full-Speed Range
DRCC.
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.
The Sway Warning function is designed to detect vehicle swaying
(based on the vehicle location and steering wheel operation) and alert\

the driver with an audio and visual alert, urging them to take a break.

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 a preceding v\
ehicle
up to approximately 328 ft (100 m) ahead, determines the current vehic\
le-to-vehicle
following distance and operates to maintain a preset following distance \
from the
vehicle ahead. These distances vary based on vehicle speed.
LONG
(default setting) MEDIUM
SHORT
(1) (2) (3)
(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 dis\
tance
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 automaticall\
y
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 a\
head
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 will close in when traveling on long downhill
slopes.
Preceding vehicle
mark
SWITCHING TO CONSTANT SPEED (CRUISE) CONTROL MODE
SETTING CONSTANT SPEED (CRUISE) CONTROL
Note: When your vehicle is too close to a vehicle ahead, and sufficient automatic
deceleration via the cruise control is not possible, the display will flash and the
buzzer will sound to alert the driver. An example of this would be if another driver
cuts in front of you while you are following a vehicle. Depress the brake pedal to
ensure an appropriate vehicle-to-vehicle distance.
If you are already using DRCC “”, push ON-OFF button to turn the system off
first, then push and hold ON-OFF button for at least 1.5 seconds to swit\
ch.
Note: When the engine is turned off, it will automatically default to DRCC.
Refer to the Toyota Owner’s Manual for additional information on DRCC\
operation,
settings adjustments, limitations, and precautions before attempting to \
use it.
(3) Acceleration when there are no longer any preceding vehicles driving
slower than the set speed The system accelerates until the set speed is reached. The system then
returns to constant speed cruising.
To adjust speed or cancel, see steps (2) and (3) of ADJUSTING SET SPEED on
page 37.
