TOYOTA SAFETY SENSE™
Toyota Safety Sense™ 2.5+ (TSS 2.5+) is a set of active safety technologies
designed to help mitigate or prevent collisions across a wide range of t\�raffic
situations, in certain conditions. TSS 2.5+ 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™ 2.5+
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 grille-mounted radar system is designed to work with
the forward-facing camera 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
Lane Departure Alert with Steering Assist 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\�
drivers 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 recognize 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) System
LTA contains all the features of Lane Departure Alert with Steering
Assist described below and additionally is designed to help keep the
vehicle in the center of a lane by assisting the driver in steering cont\�rol
when using Full-Speed Range DRCC.

When Full-Speed Range Dynamic Radar Cruise Control (DRCC) is enabled a\�nd
lane markers are detectable, Lane Tracing Assist (LTA) uses the lines \�on the road
and/or preceding vehicles to help keep the vehicle centered in its lane.\�
See toyota.com/safety-sense for more information.
Refer to the Toyota Owner’s Manual for a list of additional situation\�s in which the
system operation may be limited.
Lane Tracing Assist (LTA) with Lane
Centering
Press and hold the LTA switch
to deactivate Lane Tracing
Assist.
The lane centering function is linked with Full-Speed Range Dynamic Rada\�r Cruise
Control (DRCC) and provides the required assistance by operating the s\�teering
wheel to keep the vehicle in its current lane.
When dynamic radar cruise control with full-speed range is not operating\�, the lane
centering function does not operate.

Push once: OnPush twice: Off
Intended for highway use, Full-Speed Range Dynamic Radar Cruise Control (DRCC)
lets you drive at a preset speed. The system is designed to function between
0-110 mph* and uses vehicle-to-vehicle distance control, helping maintain a preset
distance from the vehicle ahead of you.*
* See toyota.com/safety-sense for more information.
Refer to the Toyota Owner’s Manual for a list of additional situations in which the
system operation may be limited.

ADJUSTING DISTANCE (CONTINUED)
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.
(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.
SWITCHING TO CONSTANT SPEED (CRUISE) CONTROL MODE
SETTING CONSTANT SPEED (CRUISE) CONTROL
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 switch.
Note: When the engine is turned off, it will automatically default to DRCC.
