TOYOTA SAFETY SENSE ™ Quick overview-Toyota Safety Sense™ C (TSS-C) Toyota Safety Sense C (TSS-C) 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-C is designed to help support the driver’s awareness, decision making and vehicle operation contributing to a safe driving experience.
In certain conditions, the PCS system included with the TSS-C package may also help to detect a pedestrian in front of your vehicle. With Toyota Safety Sense™ C, PCS uses an in-vehicle camera and lasers to help detect a pedestrian in front of your vehicle in certain conditions.
The system can be disabled/enabled and the alert timing of the system can be changed. (Alert timing only, brake operation remains the same). Refer to a Toyota Owner’s Manual for additional information on PCS w/PD operation, settings adjustments, limitations, and precautions before attempting to use it.
Ignition cycle until changed by the driver or the system is reset. 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 The LDA function displays when the Multi-Information Display (MID) is switched to the driving assist system information screen.
By using high beams more frequently, the system may allow earlier detection of pedestrians and obstacles. Refer to the Toyota Owner’s Manual for additional information on AHB operation, settings adjustments, limitations, and precautions before attempting to use it.
If the tire pressure indicator flashes for more than 60 seconds and then remains on, take the vehicle to your local Toyota dealer. NOTE: The warning light may come on due to temperature changes or changes in tire pressure from natural air leakage. If the system has not been initialized recently, setting the tire pressures to factory specifications should turn off the light.
Rear door child safety locks Rear door Lock Moving the lever to the lock position will allow the door to be opened only from the outside. Spare tire & tools Tool location Luggage floor cover Jack Spare wheel cushions Tool bag Spare tire For detailed directions on removing the jack from under the driver’s seat, refer to the Owner’s Manual.
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.
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.
