The Toyota Safety Sense P consists of the following drive assist
systems and contributes to a safe and comfortable driving experience:
| 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.

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)
|
WARNING
- 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
