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 si\
tuations, 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 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.
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 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 (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 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)
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 assistin\
g
the driver in steering control when using Full-Speed Range DRCC.

42
TOYOTA SAFETY SENSE™
By detecting visible white/yellow lane markings or the road’s edge at\
speeds above
32 mph, Lane Departure Alert with Steering Assist (LDA w/SA) is designed to issue
an audio/visual alert if an inadvertent lane departure is detected. If t\
he driver does
not take corrective action, the Steering Assist function is designed to \
provide gentle
corrective steering.*
* 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.

Refer to the Toyota Owner’s Manual for additional information on LDA \
operation,
settings adjustments, limitations, and precautions before attempting to \
use it.

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 dri\
ver 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 canceled.
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.
