How to set your Toyota Safety Sense system

Toyota Safety Sense active safety technologies provide a high degree of protection across a wide range of driving situations. Below is a brief explanation of the different systems that make up Toyota Safety Sense – availability of these may vary across Toyota models. We’ve also prepared short films that show you how the system functions in the all-new Toyota Yaris, Toyota C-HR, Corolla, RAV4 and Aygo.

Pre-Collision System (PCS) uses a radar detector and front camera to detect objects ahead of your vehicle. If PCS detects a collision is imminent, it audibly and visually alerts you. In addition, PCS can automatically apply the brakes to prevent or lessen the seriousness of a collision. Lastly, you can also adjust the sensitivity of PCS to your preference.

Lane Departure Alert (LDA) monitors road markings on faster roads to detect if your Toyota is drifting out of its lane. If it is triggered, you will receive a visual alert on your Toyota’s multi-information display. LDA won’t activate if the indicators are in use, and the system can be turned off if required. In some models, LDA is enhanced with Steering Assist which can apply corrective steering if the system is triggered.

Lane Tracing Assist (LTA) helps your car to stay centred in its lane by monitoring the road markings. This can reduce the risk of collision and relieves some of the burden on you, the driver. This function of Toyota Safety Sense operates in conjunction with Adaptive Cruise Control meaning your journeys in congested traffic are less stressful.

Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) maintains a constant speed until your Toyota comes up behind another vehicle. ACC can then adjust your car’s speed to maintain a fixed distance to the car ahead. When the road is clear, ACC will accelerate to resume your previous cruising speed.

Road Sign Assist (RSA) recognises specific road signs and displays this information on your Toyota’s multi-information display. To keep you on the right side of the law, it will issue audible and visible alerts if necessary. In addition, RSA works with ACC to regulate your vehicle’s speed.

Automatic High-Beam System (AHS) improves visibility for you and other drivers by adapting your Toyota’s headlights automatically. It uses a camera to monitor the light from other vehicles and street lighting and adapts your car’s headlight beam accordingly.

    1. Hi Michael, thanks for getting in touch.

      This vehicle should be equipped with the following Toyota Safety System features as standard:

      – Pre-Collision System (PCS)
      – Lane Departure Alert (LDA)
      – Lane Tracing Assist (LTA)
      – Intelligent Adaptive Cruise Control
      – Road Sign Assist (RSA)
      – Automatic High-Beam System (AHS)

      Hope this helps.

      Thanks.

  1. LDA is so dangerous, will correct you from going over the line putting you in the direction of another vehicle.. had some close calls… I have to disable it every time I turn the car on. Which is a lot! (Taxi driver) is there no way to turn off the steering input.. I’d be happy with an audible alert but damn the steering assist is dangerous.

  2. Hello,

    Most times when I try to engage my Adaptive Cruise Control on Yaris 2023, it doesn’t engage. Sometime it does. Is their like a criteria for the road situation?

    1. Hi there, thanks for getting in touch.

    1. Hi Rakan
      May we have you vehicles registration number please and we can look in to this for you.
      Kind regards

  4. For the 2025 Camry, for a couple of the settings it is not clear to me which setting makes the system more sensitive/protective and which setting is on but less active. Is it most sensitive when all the little segments are lit up?

    1. Hi Jo, thanks for getting in touch.

      This isn’t something we offer in the UK. Toyota in your local area will be able to advise further.

      Thanks,

  5. The constant Beeping is distracting. Starts at 27mph. Cyclists are going faster downhill. A head on collision narrowly avoided by vehicle behind me overtaking. This is the worst car I have ever driven due to this beeping. The car I used in test drive did not beep. I have been mis sold, would never have bought the car but the sales person did not mention this. There should be a banner over all the new cars in show room. Buy one at your peril. We are not even in the EU.

    1. Hi Tony, thanks for your comment.

      Your Yaris does have a safety sense package, it includes Pre-Collision System, Road Sign Assist and Lane Departure Alert.

      Thanks,

      Toyota UK
