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 situations, 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 experience.
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
Quick overview-Toyota Safety Sense™ 2.0
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.
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.
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 recognizes specific road signs using the forward
facing camera to provide information to the driver via the display.
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 contains all the features of LDA described above and additionally
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.

TOYOTA SAFETY SENSE™
LDA in TSS 2.0 uses an in-vehicle camera designed to detect visible white and
yellow lane markers or road edge in front of the vehicle and the vehicle’s position
on the road. If the system determines that the vehicle is starting to unintentionally
deviate from its lane, the system alerts the driver with an audio and visual alert.
When the alerts occur, the driver must check the surrounding road situation and
carefully operate the 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 (50 km/h) 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.
If the vehicle repeatedly deviates from the lane, the vehicle drifts within the lane due
to inattention, or the driver abruptly operates the steering wheel after an inattentive
period, when enabled, the vehicle sway warning function alerts the driver with an
audio and visual alert, urging them to take a break.
Lane Departure Alert with Steering Assist
(LDA w/SA)
TURNING THE LDA SYSTEM ON/OFF
Press the LDA switch to turn the LDA system on. Depress again to turn it off.
Note: Operation of the LDA system and setting adjustments continues in the
same condition regardless of Ignition cycle until changed by the driver or the
system is reset.

LANE DEPARTURE ALERT
LDA function display(2)
(1)
Lane Departure Alert (LDA) indicator flashes orange when operating.
The LDA function
displays when the Multi-Information Display (MID) is switched
to the driving assist system information screen.
(1) The system displays solid white lines on the LDA indicator when visible lane
markers or the road are detected. A side flashes orange to alert the driver when the
vehicle deviates from its lane.
(2) The system displays outlines on the LDA indicator when lane markers or 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.
