Toyota Safety Sense™ Technology and Features
The Toyota Safety Sense™ 2.0 suite of safety systems is made up of six innovative features – a Pre-Collision System with Pedestrian Detection, Dynamic Radar Cruise Control, Lane Departure Alert with Steering Assist, Automatic High Beams, Road Sign Assist and Lane Tracing Assist. Learn more about each Toyota Safety Sense™ feature below.

Pre-Collision System with Pedestrian Detection
The Pre-Collision System with Pedestrian Detection features a forward-mounted camera and radar system that helps to prevent frontal collisions with vehicles and pedestrians. With this system equipped, your Toyota car or truck will provide you with audio and visual warnings and provide additional brake support in an emergency.

Dynamic Radar Cruise Control
Dynamic Radar Cruise Control and Full-Speed Dynamic Radar Cruise Control systems utilize the forward-facing camera and grille-mounted radar systems to detect and monitor the speed of the vehicle in front of you in traffic. When you set your highway speed, the system will maintain a pre-set distance by automatically slowing your vehicle when needed.

Lane Departure Alert with Steering Assist
The Toyota Safety Sense™ Lane Departure Alert system employs cameras to detect lane markings, road edges and curbs. When you move to close to these fixtures, Lane Departure Alert will provide audio and visual alerts and Steering Assist will make small automatic adjustments to ensure that your Toyota does not leave its lane.

Automatic High Beams
When you are driving on a dark country road, it is easy to forget you have your high beams turned on. The Automatic High Beam safety feature uses forward-mounted sensors to detect the headlights of oncoming traffic and the taillights of the vehicle in front of you and the system will automatically go from high to low beams to avoid blinding other drivers.

Road Sign Assist
A new addition to the Toyota Safety Sense™ suite of safety features, Road Sign Assist is built to detect select traffic signs as you drive and will display them on the Toyota Multi-Information Display. Road Sign Assist will help you stay more aware on family road trips.

Lane Tracing Assist
The Lane Tracing Assist system works in tandem with Dynamic Radar Cruise Control to keep you in the center of your lane. Lane Tracing Assist employs the forward-facing camera to monitor lane markings and driving direction and when you stray from your lane will make automatic steering adjustments to keep you centered.
