WARNING  
■Toyota Safety Sense 2.0  
The Toyota Safety Sense 2.0 is  
designed to operate under the  
assumption that the driver will  
drive safely, and is designed to  
help reduce the impact to the  
occupants and the vehicle in the  
case of a collision or assist the  
driver in normal driving condi-  
tions.  
The Toyota Safety Sense 2.0  
consists of the following  
drive assist systems and  
contributes to a safe and  
comfortable driving experi-  
ence:  
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. The driver is always  
responsible for paying attention to  
the vehicle’s surroundings and  
driving safely.

4-5. Using the driving support systems  
Situation  
Actions  
If the front camera is hot, such as  
after the vehicle had been parked in  
the sun, use the air conditioning sys-  
tem to decrease the temperature  
around the front camera.  
If a sunshade was used when the  
vehicle was parked, depending on its  
type, the sunlight reflected from the  
surface of the sunshade may cause  
the temperature of the front camera  
to become excessively high.  
When the temperature around the  
front camera is outside of the opera-  
tional range, such as when the vehi-  
cle is in the sun or in an extremely  
cold environment  
If the front camera is cold, such as  
after the vehicle is parked in an  
extremely cold environment, use the  
air conditioning system to increase  
the temperature around the front  
camera.  
The area in front of the front camera  
is obstructed, such as when the  
hood is open or a sticker is attached  
to the part of the windshield in front  
of the front camera.  
Close the hood, remove the sticker,  
etc. to clear the obstruction.  
●In the following situations, if the situation has changed (or the vehicle has  
been driven for some time) and the normal operating conditions are  
detected, the message will disappear and the system will become opera-  
tional.  
If the message does not disappear, contact your Toyota dealer.  
• When the temperature around the radar sensor is outside of the opera-  
tional range, such as when the vehicle is in the sun or in an extremely cold  
environment  
• When the front camera cannot detect objects in front of the vehicle, such

objects (P.229) in front of  
the vehicle. When the sys-  
tem determines that the  
possibility of a frontal colli-  
sion with an object is high,  
a warning operates to urge  
the driver to take evasive  
action and the potential  
brake pressure is increased  
to help the driver avoid the  
collision. If the system  
determines that the possi-  
bility of a frontal collision  
with an object is extremely  
high, the brakes are auto-  
matically applied to help  
avoid the collision or help  
reduce the impact of the  
collision.

■ Pre-collision brake assist  
When the system determines  
that the possibility of a frontal  
collision is high, the system  
applies greater braking force in  
relation to how strongly the  
brake pedal is depressed.  
The pre-collision system can  
be disabled/enabled and the  
warning timing can be

■Pre-collision braking  
WARNING  
●When the pre-collision braking  
function is operating, a large  
amount of braking force will be  
applied.  
■Limitations of the pre-colli-  
sion system  
●The driver is solely responsible  
for safe driving. Always drive  
safely, taking care to observe  
your surroundings.  
Do not use the pre-collision sys-  
tem instead of normal braking  
operations under any circum-  
stances. This system will not  
prevent collisions or lessen col-  
lision damage or injury in every  
situation. Do not overly rely on  
this system. Failure to do so  
may lead to an accident, result-  
ing in death or serious injury.  
●If the vehicle is stopped by the  
operation of the pre-collision  
braking function, the pre-colli-  
sion braking function operation  
will be canceled after approxi-  
mately 2 seconds. Depress the  
brake pedal as necessary.  
●The pre-collision braking func-  
tion may not operate if certain  
operations are performed by the  
driver. If the accelerator pedal is  
being depressed strongly or the  
steering wheel is being turned,  
the system may determine that  
the driver is taking evasive  
action and possibly prevent the  
pre-collision braking function  
from operating.  
●Although this system is  
designed to help avoid a colli-  
sion or help reduce the impact  
of the collision, its effectiveness  
may change according to vari-  
ous conditions, therefore the  
system may not always be able  
to achieve the same level of  
performance.  
Read the following conditions  
carefully. Do not overly rely on  
this system and always drive  
carefully.  
●In some situations, while the  
pre-collision braking function is  
operating, operation of the func-  
tion may be canceled if the  
accelerator pedal is depressed  
strongly or the steering wheel is  
turned and the system deter-  
mines that the driver is taking  
evasive action.  
• Conditions under which the sys-  
tem may operate even if there is  
no possibility of a collision:  
P.233  
●If the brake pedal is being  
depressed, the system may  
determine that the driver is tak-  
ing evasive action and possibly  
delay the operation timing of the  
pre-collision braking function.  
• Conditions under which the sys-  
tem may not operate properly:  
P.234  
●Do not attempt to test the oper-  
ation of the pre-collision system  
yourself.  
Depending on the objects used  
for testing (dummies, card-  
board objects imitating detect-  
able objects, etc.), the system  
may not operate properly, possi-  
bly leading to an accident.  
■When to disable the pre-colli-  
sion system  
In the following situations, disable  
the system, as it may not operate  
properly, possibly leading to an  
accident resulting in death or seri-  
ous injury:

system may operate even if  
there is no possibility of a colli-  
sion  
The system detects objects based  
on their size, profile, motion, etc.  
However, an object may not be  
detected depending on the sur-  
rounding brightness and the motion,  
posture, and angle of the detected  
object, preventing the system from  
operating properly. (P.234)

LTA (Lane Tracing  
Assist)  
WARNING  
■Before using LTA system  
●Do not rely solely upon the LTA  
system. The LTA system does  
not automatically drive the vehi-  
cle or reduce the amount of  
attention that must be paid to  
the area in front of the vehicle.  
The driver must always assume  
full responsibility for driving  
safely by paying careful atten-  
tion to the surrounding condi-  
tions and operating the steering  
wheel to correct the path of the  
vehicle. Also, the driver must  
take adequate breaks when  
fatigued, such as from driving  
for a long period of time.  
When driving on highways  
and freeways with white  
(yellow) lane lines, this  
function alerts the driver  
when the vehicle might  
depart from its lane or  
course* and provides assis-  
tance by operating the  
steering wheel to keep the  
vehicle in its lane or  
course*. Furthermore, the  
system provides steering  
assistance when dynamic  
radar cruise control with  
full-speed range is operat-  
ing to keep the vehicle in its  
lane.  
4
●Failure to perform appropriate  
driving operations and pay care-  
ful attention may lead to an  
accident, resulting in death or  
serious injury.  
●When not using the LTA system,  
use the LTA switch to turn the  
system off.  
The LTA system recognizes  
white (yellow) lane lines or a  
course* using the front cam-  
era. Additionally, it detects  
preceding vehicles using  
the front camera and radar.  
■Situations unsuitable for LTA  
system  
In the following situations, use the  
LTA switch to turn the system off.  
Failure to do so may lead to an

ing the system ensures safety  
while driving can lead to an  
accident, resulting in death or  
serious injury.  
The dynamic radar cruise control  
with full-speed range determines  
whether the following distance  
between the driver’s own vehicle  
and a designated vehicle traveling  
ahead is within a set range. It is  
not capable of making any other  
type of judgement. Therefore, it is  
absolutely necessary for the  
driver to remain vigilant and to  
determine whether or not there is  
a possibility of danger in any  
given situation.

●Assisting the driver to operate  
the vehicle  
The dynamic radar cruise control  
with full-speed range does not  
include functions which will pre-  
vent or avoid collisions with vehi-  
cles ahead of your vehicle.  
Therefore, if there is ever any  
possibility of danger, the driver  
must take immediate and direct  
control of the vehicle and act  
appropriately in order to ensure  
the safety of all involved.  
●When there is rain, snow, etc.

■Situations unsuitable for  
dynamic radar cruise control  
with full-speed range  
Do not use dynamic radar cruise  
control with full-speed range in  
any of the following situations.  
Doing so may result in inappropri-  
ate speed control and could  
cause an accident resulting in  
death or serious injury.  
●Roads where there are pedes-

Driving in vehicle-to-vehicle distance control mode  
This mode employs a radar to detect the presence of vehicles up to  
approximately 328 ft. (100 m) ahead, determines the current vehicle-  
to-vehicle following distance, and operates to maintain a suitable fol-  
lowing distance from the vehicle ahead. The desired vehicle-to-vehi-  
cle distance can also be set by operating the vehicle-to-vehicle  
distance switch.  
When driving on downhill slopes, the vehicle-to-vehicle distance may  
become shorter.

Example of constant speed cruising

The vehicle travels at the speed set by the driver.  
B
Example of 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 nec-  
essary, the system applies the brakes (the stop 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.  
Approach warning warns you when the system cannot decelerate suffi-  
ciently to prevent your vehicle from closing in on the vehicle ahead.  
When the vehicle ahead of you stops, your vehicle will also stop (vehicle is  
stopped by system control). After the vehicle ahead starts off, pressing the  
“+RES” switch or depressing the accelerator pedal (start-off operation) will  
resume follow-up cruising. If the start-off operation is not performed, system

■Notes when washing the vehi-  
cle  
Do not apply intensive bursts of  
water or steam to the sensor  
area.  
●Water may be continuously flow-  
ing over the sensor surface, such  
as in a heavy rain. When the sys-  
tem determines that it is normal,  
the system will return to normal.  
Doing so may result in the sensor  
malfunctioning.  
●Initialization may not have been  
performed after a battery terminal  
was disconnected and recon-  
nected. Initialize the system.  
(P.273)  
If this message continues to be  
displayed even after initialization,  
have the vehicle inspected by  
your Toyota dealer.  
●When using a high pressure  
washer to wash the vehicle, do  
not spray the sensors directly,  
as doing so may cause a sensor  
to malfunction.  
●When using steam to clean the  
vehicle, do not direct steam too  
close to the sensors as doing so  
may cause a sensor to malfunc-  
tion.

limited to the areas around the  
vehicle’s front and rear bumpers.  
●The vehicle speed is less than  
about 6 mph (10 km/h).  
●The shift lever is in a position  
other than P.  
●The following situations may occur  
during use.  
• Depending on the shape of the  
object and other factors, the  
detection distance may shorten, or  
detection may be impossible.  
• Detection may be impossible if  
static objects draw too close to the  
sensor.  
• There will be a short delay  
between static object detection  
and display (warning buzzer  
sounds). Even at low speeds,  
there is a possibility that the object  
will come within 11.9 in. (30 cm)  
before the display is shown and  
the warning buzzer sounds.  
• It might be difficult to hear the  
buzzer due to the volume of the  
audio system or air flow noise of  
the air conditioning system.

Also, due to ice forming on a sensor  
at low temperatures, a warning  
message may be displayed or the  
sensor may not be able to detect an  
object. Once the ice melts, the sys-  
tem will return to normal.

Parking Support Brake function (static objects)  
*
: If equipped  
If the sensors detect a static object, such as a wall, in the trav-  
eling direction of the vehicle and the system determines that a  
collision may occur due to the vehicle suddenly moving for-  
ward due to an accidental accelerator pedal operation, the  
vehicle moving the unintended direction due to the wrong  
shift position being selected, or while parking or traveling at  
low speeds, the system will operate to lessen the impact with  
the detected static object and reduce the resulting damage.  
Examples of function operation  
This function will operate in situations such as the following if an  
object is detected in the traveling direction of the vehicle.  
■ When traveling at a low speed and the brake pedal is not  
depressed, or is depressed late

Area of image of panoramic view  
The panoramic view monitor displays an image of the surrounding  
view of the vehicle.  
Since the panoramic view processes and displays images based on  
flat road surfaces, it cannot depict the position of three-dimension  
objects (such as vehicle bumpers, etc.) that are in positions higher  
than the surface of the road. Even if there is room between the bum-  
pers of the vehicles and it seems not likely to collide in the image, in  
reality, the both vehicles are on a collision course.

Parts of objects which extend above a certain height cannot be

●As the images obtained from four cameras are processed and displayed  
on the standard of a flat road surface; the panoramic view/moving  
view/see through view may be displayed as follows.  
• Objects may look collapsed; thinner or bigger than usual.  
• An object with a higher position than the road surface may look farther  
away than it actually is or may not appear at all.  
• Tall objects may appear protruding from the non-displayed areas of the  
image.  
●Variations in the brightness of the image may appear for every camera.  
●The displayed image may be shifted by inclination of the vehicle body,  
change in vehicle height, etc., depending on the number of passengers,  
amount of luggage, fuel quantity, etc.  
●If the front doors or back door are not completely closed; neither the  
image nor the guide lines are displayed.  
●The position relations of the vehicle icon and the road surface or obstacle  
may differ from the actual positions.  
●The black areas of the vicinity of the vehicle icon are areas that are not

Distortion of three-dimensional objects on the screen  
When there are three-dimensional objects (such as vehicle bum-  
pers, etc.) nearby in positions higher than the surface of the road,  
take extra care when using the following.  
Panoramic view display (including magnified display)  
Since the panoramic view processes and displays images based on  
flat road surfaces, it cannot depict the position of three-dimension  
objects (such as vehicle bumpers, etc.) that are in positions higher  
than the surface of the road. For example, even though it appears  
that there is space between the bumpers of the two vehicles in the  
illustration below and they are not likely to collide, in reality, a colli-

When approaching three-dimensional objects  
The estimated course lines target flat surfaced objects (such as the  
road). It is not possible to determine the position of three-dimen-  
sional objects (such as vehicles) using the estimated course lines  
and distance guide lines. When approaching a three-dimensional  
object that extends outward (such as the flatbed of a truck), be care-  
ful of the following.
