The parking assist sonar system operates when the vehicle approaches an \�
obstacle. The distance from your vehicle to nearby obstacles when parall\�el parking
or maneuvering into a garage is measured by sensors and communicated via\� the
Multi-Information Display (MID), the navigation system screen and audible beeps.
When the sensor detects an obstacle, the direction of and the approximat\�e
distance to the obstacle are displayed on the MID display or the navigat\�ion system
screen by illuminating continuously (far) or blinking (near), and beeping sounds will
switch from intermittent to continuous as you approach and get closer to\� a detected
obstacle. When the sensors detect two or more obstacles, the audible ale\�rts will
respond to the nearest zone.
Always check the surrounding area when using this system.
Refer to section Intuitive parking assist in the Navigation and Multimed\�ia System
Owner’s Manual for more details.

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.

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.

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.

SAFETY AND EMERGENCY FEATURESStar Safety System
™
Your vehicle comes standard with the Star Safety SystemTM, which combines Anti-
lock Brake System (ABS), Brake Assist (BA), Electronic Brake-force Distribution
(EBD), Smart Stop Technology (SST), Traction Control (TRAC) and Vehicle Stability
Control (VSC).
Refer to the Owner’s Manual for more details and important information on limitations
to these systems.
ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM (ABS)
Toyota’s ABS sensors detect which wheels are locking up and limits wh\�eel lockup
by “pulsing” each wheel’s brakes independently. Pulsing release\�s brake pressure
repeatedly for fractions of a second. This helps the tires attain the tr\�action that
current road conditions will allow, helping you to stay in directional c\�ontrol.
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 only a split
second to react, Brake Assist can add additional brake pressure more qui\�ckly than
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 f\�our wheels.
SMART STOP TECHNOLOGY (SST)
Smart Stop Technology automatically reduces engine power when the accele\�rator
and brake pedals are pressed simultaneously under certain conditions.
SST engages when the accelerator is depressed first and the brakes are a\�pplied
firmly for longer than one-half second at speeds greater than five miles\� per hour.
SST doesn’t engage if the brake pedal is depressed before the acceler\�ator pedal,
allowing vehicles to start on a steep hill and safely accelerate without\� rolling
backward.
ENHANCED VEHICLE STABILITY CONTROL (VSC)
Enhanced Vehicle Stability Control provides cooperative control of the A\�BS, TRAC,
VSC and EPS.
Enhanced VSC helps to maintain directional stability when loss of tracti\�on occurs
during a turn.

SAFETY & EMERGENCY FEATURES
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 Δ marks
TRACTION CONTROL (TRAC)
VSC helps prevent loss of traction during cornering by reducing engine p\�ower, and
Traction Control helps maintain traction on loose gravel and wet, icy, o\�r uneven
surfaces by applying brake force to the spinning wheel(s).
Toyota’s TRAC sensors are activated when one of the drive wheels star\�ts 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.
