The Toyota Safety Sense P consists of the following drive
assist
systems and contributes to a safe and comfortable driving
experience:
- PCS (Pre-Collision System)
- LDA (Lane Departure Alert with steering control)
- Automatic High Beam
- Dynamic radar cruise control with full-speed range
| WARNING ■Toyota Safety Sense P
The Toyota Safety Sense P 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 conditions.
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. |
Vehicle data recording
The pre-collision system is equipped with a sophisticated
computer
that will record certain data, such as:
- Accelerator status
- Brake status
- Vehicle speed
- Operation status of the pre-collision system functions
- Information (such as the distance and relative speed between
your
vehicle and the vehicle ahead or other objects)
- Images from the camera sensor (available only when the
pre-collision
braking function or the pre-collision brake assist function was
operating)
The pre-collision system does not record conversations, sounds or
images of the inside of the vehicle.
- Data usage
Toyota may use the data recorded in this computer to diagnose
malfunctions, conduct research and development, and improve
quality.
Toyota will not disclose the recorded data to a third party
except:
- With the consent of the vehicle owner or with the
consent of the
lessee if the vehicle is leased
- In response to an official request by the police, a
court of law or a
government agency
- For use by Toyota in a lawsuit
- For research purposes where the data is not tied to a
specific
vehicle or vehicle owner
- Recorded images can be erased using a specialized device.
The image recording function can be disabled. However, if the
function
is disabled, data from when the pre-collision system operates
will not be available.
Sensors
Two types of sensors, located behind the front grille and
windshield,
detect information necessary to operate the drive assist systems.
- Radar sensor
- Camera sensor
| WARNING ■To avoid malfunction of the radar sensor
Observe the following precautions.
Otherwise, the radar sensor may not operate properly, possibly leading
to
an accident resulting in death or serious injury.
- Keep the radar sensor and front grille emblem clean at all
times.
- Radar sensor
- Front grille emblem

emblem with a soft cloth so you do not
mark or damage them.
- Do not attach accessories, stickers (including transparent
stickers) or
other items to the radar sensor, front grille emblem or surrounding
area.

| WARNING ■To avoid malfunction of the camera sensor
Observe the following precautions.
Otherwise, the camera sensor may not operate properly, possibly leading
to
an accident resulting in death or serious injury.
- Keep the windshield clean at all times.
- If the windshield is dirty or covered with an oily film,
water droplets,
snow, etc., clear the windshield.
- If a glass coating agent is applied to the windshield, it
will still be necessary
to use the windshield wipers to remove water droplets, etc. from
the area of the windshield in front of the camera sensor.
- If the inner side of the windshield where the camera sensor
is installed
is dirty, contact your Toyota dealer.
- Do not attach objects, such as stickers,
transparent stickers, and so forth, to the
outer side of the windshield in front of
the camera sensor (shaded area in the
illustration).
- From the top of the windshield to
approximately 0.4 in. (1 cm) below the
bottom of the camera sensor
- Approximately 7.9 in. (20 cm)
(Approximately 4.0 in. [10 cm] to the
right and left from the center of the
camera sensor)
- If the part of the windshield in front of the camera sensor is
fogged up or
covered with condensation or ice, use the windshield defogger to
remove
the fog, condensation or ice.
- If water droplets cannot be properly removed from the area of
the windshield
in front of the camera sensor by the windshield wipers, replace the
wiper insert or wiper blade.
If the wiper inserts or wiper blades need to be replaced, contact
your Toyota
dealer.
- Do not attach window tinting to the windshield.
- Replace the windshield if it is damaged or cracked.
If the windshield needs to be replaced, contact your Toyota dealer.
- Do not get the camera sensor wet.
- Do not allow bright lights to shine into the camera sensor.

- Do not change the installation position or direction of the
camera sensor or
remove it.
- Do not disassemble the camera sensor.
- Do not modify any components of the vehicle around the camera
sensor
(inside rear view mirror, etc.) or ceiling.
