Quick overview-Toyota Safety Sense P (TSS-P)

Sensors

TSS-P combines a forward-facing camera mounted in front of the inside rear view mirror and a grille-mounted radar mounted in the front grille. These sensors support 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 situations, in certain conditions. TSS-P is designed to help support the drivers awareness, decision making and vehicle operation contributing to a safe driving experience.

Refer to the Owners 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.

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 grille-mounted radar system is designed to work with the forward-facing camera 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.

Lane Departure Alert (LDA) LDA is designed to provide notification when the system detects an unintended lane departure.

The Pre-Collision System with Pedestrian Detection (PCS w/PD) is designed to help detect a vehicle or a pedestrian in certain situations. Using a combination of a camera and radar, PCS w/ PD can provide an audio/visual alert to warn you of a possible collision under certain circumstances. If you dont react, the system is designed to automatically brake. As there is a limit to the degree of recognition accuracy and control performance that this system can provide, do not overly rely on this system. This system will not prevent collisions or lessen collision damage or injury in every situation. 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 system 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 sandstorm or while driving on a curve and for a few seconds after driving on a curve, a vehicle or pedestrian may not be detected by the grille-mounted radar and forward-facing camera, preventing the system from operating or engaging properly. See Toyota.com/safety-sense for more information. Refer to the Toyota Owners Manual for a list of additional situations in which the system operation may be limited.

Pre-Collision Warning When the system determines that the possibility of a frontal collision is high, a buzzer will sound and a warning message will be displayed on the Multi-Information 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 additional braking force using Brake Assist. This system may prime the brakes and may apply greater braking force in relation to how strongly the brake pedal is depressed. Pre-Collision Braking If the driver does not brake in a set time and the system determines that 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 help the driver reduce the impact and in certain cases avoid the collision. Refer to the Toyota Owners Manual for additional information on PCS w/PD operation, settings adjustments, limitations, and precautions before attempting to use it.

ADJUSTING DISTANCE

To change the vehicle-to- vehicle distance Push the button to cycle through the settings, which will change progressively.

This mode employs a radar sensor to detect the presence of a preceding vehicle up to approximately 320 ft (100 m) ahead, determines the current vehicle-to-vehicle following distance and operates to maintain a preset following distance from the vehicle ahead. These distances vary based on vehicle speed.

(1) (2) (3)

(1) Constant speed cruising when there are no vehicles ahead The vehicle travels at the speed set by the driver. The desired vehicle-to- vehicle distance can also be set by operating the vehicle-to-vehicle distance control.

(2) Deceleration cruising and follow-up cruising when a preceding vehicle driving slower than the set speed appears

When a vehicle is detected running ahead of you, the system automatically decelerates your vehicle. When a greater reduction in vehicle speed is necessary, the system applies the brakes (the brake lights will come on at this time). The system will respond to changes in the speed of the vehicle ahead in order to maintain the vehicle-to-vehicle distance set by the driver. A warning tone warns you when the system cannot decelerate sufficiently to prevent your vehicle from closing in on the vehicle ahead.

Note: Vehicle-to-vehicle distance will close in when traveling on long downhill slopes.

SWITCHING TO CONSTANT SPEED (CRUISE) CONTROL MODE

SETTING CONSTANT SPEED (CRUISE) CONTROL

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.

If you are already using DRCC , push button again to turn the system off first, then push and hold button for at least 1.5 seconds to switch. Note: When the engine is turned off, it will automatically default to DRCC.

(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.

Star Safety System

VEHICLE STABILITY CONTROL (VSC) VSC helps prevent loss of traction during cornering by reducing engine power and applying brake force to selected wheels.

Toyotas VSC monitors steering angle and the direction your vehicle is traveling. When it senses that the front or rear wheels begin to lose traction, VSC reduces engine power and applies braking to selected wheels. This helps restore traction and vehicle control.

ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM (ABS) Toyotas ABS sensors detect which wheels are locking up and limits wheel lockup by pulsing each wheels brakes independently. Pulsing releases brake pressure repeatedly for fractions of a second. This helps the tires attain the traction that current road conditions will allow, helping you to stay in directional control.

BRAKE ASSIST (BA) Brake Assist is designed to detect sudden or panic braking, and then add braking pressure to help decrease the vehicles stopping distance. When theres only a split second to react, Brake Assist can add additional brake pressure more quickly than just the driver alone can.

ELECTRONIC BRAKE FORCE DISTRIBUTION (EBD) Toyotas 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 four wheels.

Your vehicle comes standard with the Star Safety SystemTM, which combines Anti- lock Braking 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 Owners Manual for more details and important information on limitations to these systems.

SMART STOP TECHNOLOGY (SST) Smart Stop Technology automatically reduces engine power when the accelerator and brake pedals are pressed simultaneously under certain conditions. SST engages when the accelerator is depressed first and the brakes are applied firmly for longer than one-half second at speeds greater than five miles per hour. SST doesnt engage if the brake pedal is depressed before the accelerator pedal, allowing vehicles to start on a steep hill and safely accelerate without rolling backward.

SAFETY & EMERGENCY FEATURES

Floor mat installation

TRACTION CONTROL (TRAC) VSC helps prevent loss of traction during cornering by reducing engine power, and Traction Control helps maintain traction on loose gravel and wet, icy, or uneven surfaces by applying brake force to the spinning wheel(s). Toyotas TRAC sensors are activated when one of the drive wheels starts 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.

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 marks
