TOYOTA SAFETY SENSETM
Quick overview-Toyota Safety SenseTM 2.5+
Toyota Safety SenseTM 2.5+ (TSS 2.5+) 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 2.5+ 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.
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 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 control when using Full-Speed Range DRCC.
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.
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.
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 forwardfacing camera to provide information to the driver via the display.

Pre-Collision System with Pedestrian Detection (PCS w/PD)
The Pre-Collision System with Pedestrian Detection (PCS w/PD) is designed to help detect a vehicle, a bicyclist, or a pedestrian in certain situations. Using both 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 don't 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 or bicyclist may not be detected by the radar and camera sensors, preventing the system from operating or engaging properly. 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.

PRE-COLLISION SYSTEM (CONTINUED)
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 Owner's Manual for additional information on PCS operation, settings adjustments, limitations, and precautions before attempting to use it.
PCS PEDESTRIAN DETECTION
Under certain conditions, the PCS system included with the TSS 2.5+ package may also help to detect a pedestrian or bicyclist in front of your vehicle using the forward-facing camera and front grille-mounted radar. The forward-facing camera of PCS detects a potential pedestrian or bicyclist based on size, profile, and motion of the detected pedestrian or bicyclist. However, a pedestrian or bicyclist may not be detected depending on the conditions, including the surrounding brightness and the motion, posture, size, and angle of the potential detected pedestrian or bicyclist, preventing the system from operating or engaging.

Monocular camera sensor

Millimeter wave radar

As part of the Pre-Collision System, this function is also designed to first provide an alert and then automatic braking if needed.

OVERVIEW

FEATURES & OPERATIONS

Star Safety SystemTM
Your vehicle comes standard with the Star Safety SystemTM, which combines Antilock 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 wheel lockup by "pulsing" each wheel's 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 vehicle's stopping distance. When there's 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) 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 four wheels.
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 doesn't 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.
ENHANCED VEHICLE STABILITY CONTROL (VSC) Enhanced Vehicle Stability Control provides cooperative control of the ABS, TRAC, VSC and EPS. Enhanced VSC helps to maintain directional stability when loss of traction occurs during a turn.

SAFETY AND EMERGENCY FEATURES
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). Toyota's 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.
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  marks
