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.

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.

OVERVIEW FEATURES & OPERATIONS TOYOTA SAFETY SENSE SAFETY & EMERGENCY FEATURES
The Pre-Collision System 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 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.

Floor mat installation
There are two types of Toyota floor mats: carpeted and all-weather. Each vehicle
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 power, 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.
