TOYOTA SAFETY SENSE
SAFETY & EMERGENCY FEATURES
The Stop & Start Engine System stops and restarts the engine according t\�o the
brake pedal operation and other operations when the vehicle is stopped.
Stopping the engine
While driving with the shift lever
in D, depress the brake pedal,
and stop the vehicle.
Disabling the Stop & Start Engine
System
Press the Stop & Start Engine System
cancel switch to disable the system.
Stop & Start Engine System (if equipped)
If the engine is stopped by the Stop & Start Engine System when the vehi\�cle is
on an incline, brake force is temporarily maintained to prevent rolling
backwards until the engine is restarted and drive force is generated.
When drive force is generated, the maintained brake force is automatical\�ly
canceled.

FEATURES & OPERATIONSDownhill Assist Control system (DAC)
(AWD models)
With the downhill assist control system, the vehicle is able to descend \�a steep hill,
maintaining a constant low speed of about 18 mph (30 km/h) without brake pedal
operation.
Press the “DAC” button to activate the system. The slip indicator \�will flash to
indicate that the downhill assist control system is operating.
Refer to the Owner’s Manual for more details.
Vehicle Stability Control (VSC)/
TRAC OFF switch
The VSC OFF switch can be used to help free a stuck vehicle in surroundi\�ngs like
mud, dirt or snow. While the vehicle is stopped, press switch to disable\� the TRAC
system.
To disable both VSC and TRAC systems, press and hold the switch for at l\�east 3
seconds.
Refer to the Owner’s Manual for limitations and more details.

Use snow mode for accelerating and driving on slippery road surfaces, su\�ch as on
snow.
Refer to the Owner’s Manual for more details.
All-wheel drive lock mode can be used when a large amount of drive power\� needs
to be applied to all the wheels, such as when the vehicle gets stuck in \�mud and you
need to free it.

Quick overview-Toyota Safety Sense™ P (TSS-P)
Sensors
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 su\�pport 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 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 millimeter-wave radar sensor system is designed to
work with the camera sensor to help recognize a preceding pedestrian,
and provide an alert, mitigation and/or avoidance support in certain
conditions.
Dynamic Radar Cruise Control (DRCC)
DRCC is designed to help maintain a pre-set distance to a preceding
vehicle when the preceding vehicle is traveling at a lower speed.

OVERVIEW
FEATURES & OPERATIONS
TOYOTA SAFETY SENSE
SAFETY & EMERGENCY FEATURES
The Pre-Collision System uses a radar sensor and camera sensor to help d\�etect a
vehicle or pedestrian 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 sy\�stem will not
prevent collisions or lessen collision damage or injury in every situati\�on. 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 syste\�m 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 san\�dstorm 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 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.
Refer to the Toyota Owner’s Manual for additional information on PCS \�w/PD
operation, settings adjustments, limitations, and precautions before att\�empting to
use it. 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-I\�nformation
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 m\�ay apply
greater braking force in relation to how strongly the brake pedal is dep\�ressed.
Pre-Collision Braking
If the driver does not brake in a set time and the system determines tha\�t 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 he\�lp the
driver reduce the impact and in certain cases avoid the collision.

As part of the Pre-Collision System, this function is also designed to f\�irst provide an
alert and then automatic braking if needed.
Refer to a Toyota Owner’s Manual for additional limitations and infor\�mation.Under certain conditions, the PCS system included with the TSS-P package\� may
also help to detect a pedestrian in front of your vehicle using the in-v\�ehicle camera
and front-grill mounted millimeter wave radar. The in-vehicle camera of \�PCS
detects a potential pedestrian based on size, profile, and motion of the\� detected
pedestrian. However, a pedestrian may not be detected depending on the
conditions, including the surrounding brightness and the motion, posture\�, size, and
angle of the potential detected pedestrian, preventing the system from o\�perating or
engaging.

LDA in TSS-P uses an in-vehicle camera designed to detect visible white \�and yellow
lane markers in front of the vehicle and the vehicle’s position on th\�e road. If the
system determines that the vehicle is starting to unintentionally deviat\�e from its lane,
the system alerts the driver with an audio and visual alert. When the al\�erts occur, the
driver must check the surrounding road situation and carefully operate t\�he steering
wheel to move the vehicle back to the center part of their lane.
LDA is designed to function at speeds of approximately 32 MPH or higher \�on
relatively straight roadways.
In addition to the alert function, LDA w/SA also features a steering assist
function. When enabled, if the system determines that the vehicle is on \�a path to
unintentionally depart from its lane, the system may provide small corrective steering
inputs to the steering wheel for a short period of time to help keep the\� vehicle in its
lane.

markers on the road are detected. A side flashes orange to alert the dri\�ver 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.
TURNING THE LDA SYSTEM ON/OFF
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.
Refer to the Toyota Owner’s Manual for additional information on LDA \�operation,
settings adjustments, limitations, and precautions before attempting to \�use it.
