FEATURES & OPERATIONS
Digital key (if equipped)
A smartphone can be used instead of the electronic key of the vehicle by installing
the dedicated Digital Key App on a smartphone. Also, Digital Key can be shared
with your family or friends using the Digital Key App.
Install the Toyota App and register the Vehicle to the customer’s Toyota App profile,
and subscribe to Remote Services, and enroll in Digital Key.
Digital key precautions:
• A Digital Key can be used when the smartphone and server can communicate.
The Digital Key may become unusable if the smartphone is not connected to the
Internet. Be sure to carry the electronic key of the vehicle if traveling to a location
with unreliable communications.
• If the smartphone battery is depleted, the smartphone cannot be used as Digital
Key. If the battery level is low, be sure to charge the smartphone prior to going
out.
• The Digital Key system is related to the Smart key system. If the Smart key system
has been deactivated in the vehicle customization setting, the Digital Key will also
be disabled.
• The Digital Key cannot be used to lock or unlock the doors by touching or
gripping a door handle. (Doors can be locked or unlocked using the Digital Key
App.)
• Depending on the radio wave environment, the Digital Key may not be able to be
used.
• When transferring vehicle ownership, make sure to delete the Digital Keys.
• If the vehicle is not operated for 14 days or more, the Digital Key will not connect
automatically. Therefore, it may take some time before the system operates after a
door handle is touched.
• A part of the services may be stopped for a certain period of time due to
server maintenance. However, registered Digital Keys can be used during the
maintenance.
• A smartphone with the Digital Key App enabled will be able to lock and unlock
the doors, start the engine and perform any other operations as same as the
electronic key of the vehicle. Be especially careful not to lose the smartphone or
allow it to be stolen. If the smartphone is lost or stolen, contact your Toyota dealer
immediately.
• When taking your vehicle to a Toyota dealer for an inspection or repairs, make
sure to bring an electronic key.
• With the Digital Key alone, no vehicle lights will illuminate when approached to
the vehicle.

 i-FORCE MAX Hybrid System
(Tacoma Hybrid only)
The i-FORCE MAX system utilizes a computer controlled gasoline engine and an

OVERVIEW
electric motor located in-between the engine and transmission to provide the most
efficient combination of power for the vehicle. When the brakes are applied, the
motor will act as a generator to provide charging energy for the traction battery,
as well as provide braking force in conjunction with the service brakes to slow the
vehicle. In addition, the engine may shut off when the vehicle comes to a stop to
reduce fuel consumption and emissions. The engine will automatically restart as
needed.
NOTE: Fuel consumption of the Hybrid System is shown on the multimedia
system.

FEATURES & OPERATIONS

TIPS FOR IMPROVED FUEL ECONOMY
- Ensure tire pressures are maintained at levels specified in the Owner’s Manual.
- When possible, link trips to reduce engine cold starts.
- Avoid driving at speeds that are higher than necessary, especially on the
highway.
- When possible, avoid sudden stops to maximize regenerative braking energy.
- Minimize use of the Air conditioning.

Front and Rear Parking Assist with
Automatic Braking (PA w/AB) (if equipped)
Front and Rear Parking Assist with Automatic Braking consists of the following
functions that operate when driving at a low speed or backing up, such as when
parking. When the system determines that the possibility of a collision with a
detected object or pedestrian is high, a warning operates to urge the driver to
take evasive action. If the system determines that the possibility of a collision with
a detected object is extremely high, the brakes are automatically applied to help
avoid the collision or help reduce the impact of the collision.

 TOYOTA SAFETY SENSE™
Quick overview-Toyota Safety Sense™ 3.0
Toyota Safety Sense™ (TSS) 3.0 is a suite of safety and driver assistance
technologies designed to support driver awareness, decision making, and vehicle
operation. TSS includes features such as Pre-Collision System with Pedestrian
Detection, Lane Departure Alert with Steering Assist, and Dynamic Radar Cruise
Control.
Refer to the Owner’s Manual for details including system operation, limitations,
and setting adjustments.
For more information, please visit www.toyota.com/safety-sense.

Pre-Collision System with Pedestrian Detection (PCS w/PD)

PCS w/PD is designed to provide alert, mitigation, and/or avoidance
support in certain conditions, when the system determines there is
potential for a collision with a detected object.
The advanced front radar system is designed to work with the forward-
facing camera to help recognize a preceding vehicle, bicyclist,
pedestrian or motorcyclist in certain conditions.

Lane Tracing Assist (LTA)

When driving on a road with clear lane lines with the dynamic radar
cruise control operating, Lane Tracing Assist detects the lane lines and
preceding and surrounding vehicles using the front camera and radar
sensor, and operates the steering wheel to maintain the vehicle’s lane
position. LTA requires the driver to grip the steering wheel.
When LTA is activated, if the system does not detect driving operations,
such as if the driver is not holding the steering wheel, and determines
the driver is not responsive, the Emergency Driving Stop System (EDSS)
is designed to decelerate the vehicle to a stop within its current lane to
help avoid or mitigate a possible collision.
Lane Departure Alert (LDA) with Steering Assist
LDA uses the front camera to detect lane lines or certain other roadway
boundaries. This system warns the driver if the vehicle may deviate from
the current lane or course and also can slightly operate the steering
wheel to help avoid deviation from the lane or course. If LDA detects
that the vehicle is swaying, a message will be displayed and a warning
buzzer will sound to urge the driver to take a break.
Full-Speed Range Dynamic Radar Cruise Control (DRCC)*
Full-Speed Range DRCC is designed to help maintain a pre-set
distance to a preceding vehicle when the preceding vehicle is traveling
at a lower speed.
* Available only on vehicles with automatic transmissions

62
 Automatic High Beams (AHB)

OVERVIEW
AHB is designed to detect the headlights of oncoming vehicles and the
taillights of preceding vehicles and switch between high beams and low
beams as appropriate.

Road Sign Assist (RSA)

RSA is designed to recognize specific road signs using the forward-
facing camera to provide information to the driver via the display.

Proactive Driving Assist (PDA)

PDA uses the vehicle’s camera and radar, when system operating
conditions are met, to provide gentle braking and/or steering to support

FEATURES & OPERATIONS

driving tasks such as distance control between your vehicle and a
preceding vehicle, pedestrian, or bicyclist. PDA can also provide gentle
braking into curves.

Over-The-Air (OTA) Updates

TSS 3.0 is capable of over-the-air updates. To use this function it is necessary to
opt-in to the Connected Service Master Data Consent. In some instances when
software is updated, the operating methods or functions may change. Before using
the system, make sure to read the Digital Owner’s Manual corresponding to the
current software version, available at www.toyota.com/owners/resources/warranty-

TOYOTA SAFETY SENSE™
Pre-Collision System with Pedestrian
Detection (PCS w/PD)
The Pre-Collision System with Pedestrian Detection (PCS w/PD) is designed to help
detect a vehicle, bicyclist, pedestrian or motorcyclist in certain situations. Using
both a camera and front radar, PCS w/ PD can provide an audio/visual alert to
warn you of a possible collision under certain circumstances. If you don’t react, the
system is designed to automatically brake.
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. This system will not
prevent collisions or lessen collision damage or injury in every situation. Do not use
PCS instead of normal braking operations under any circumstances. Do not attempt
to test the operation of the Pre-Collision System yourself, as the system may not
operate or engage, possibly leading to an accident. In some situations, such as
when driving in inclement weather such as heavy rain, fog, snow or a sandstorm or
while driving on a curve and for a few seconds after driving on a curve, a vehicle,
bicyclist, pedestrian or motorcyclist may not be detected by the radar and camera
sensors, preventing the system from operating or engaging properly.
Refer to the Toyota “Owner’s Manual” for a list of additional situations in which the
system operation may be limited.

Pre-Collision Warning
When the system determines that the possibility of a frontal collision is high, a
buzzer will sound and an icon and warning message will be displayed on the Multi-
Information Display (MID) to urge the driver to take evasive action.
Pre-Collision Brake Assist
If the driver notices the hazard and brakes, the system may provide additional
braking force using Brake Assist. This system may prime the brakes and may apply
greater braking force in relation to how strongly the brake pedal is depressed.
Pre-Collision Brake Control
If the driver does not brake in a set time and the system determines that the
possibility of a collision with a preceding vehicle is extremely high, the system may
automatically apply the brakes, reducing speed in order to help the driver reduce
the impact and in certain cases avoid the collision.
See www.toyota.com/safety-sense for more information.

 PCS PEDESTRIAN DETECTION
Under certain conditions, the PCS included with TSS 3.0 may also help to detect a

OVERVIEW
pedestrian, bicyclist or motorcyclist in front of your vehicle using the forward-facing
camera and the front radar sensor. The forward-facing camera of PCS detects a
potential pedestrian, bicyclist or motorcyclist based on size, profile, and motion of
the detected pedestrian, bicyclist or motorcyclist. However, a pedestrian, bicyclist
or motorcyclist may not be detected depending on the conditions, including the
surrounding brightness and the motion, posture, size, and angle of the potential
detected pedestrian, bicyclist or motorcyclist, preventing the system from operating
or engaging.

SAFETY & EMERGENCY FEATURES
Star Safety System™
Your vehicle comes standard with the Star Safety SystemTM, which combines Anti-
lock Braking System (ABS), Brake Assist (BA), Electronic Brake-force Distribution
(EBD), Smart Stop Technology (SST), Traction Control (TRAC) and Vehicle Stability
Control (VSC).
Refer to the “Owner’s Manual” for more details and important information on
limitations to these systems.

ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM (ABS)

Toyota’s Anti-lock Brake System detects 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.

BRAKE ASSIST (BA)

Brake Assist is designed to detect sudden or “panic” braking, and then add braking
pressure to help decrease the vehicle’s stopping distance. When there’s only a split
second to react, Brake Assist can add additional brake pressure more quickly than
just the driver alone can.

ELECTRONIC BRAKE FORCE DISTRIBUTION (EBD)

Toyota’s ABS technology has Electronic Brake-force Distribution (EBD) to help
maintain control and balance when braking. EBD responds to sudden stops by
redistributing brake force to enhance the braking effectiveness of all four wheels.

SMART STOP TECHNOLOGY (SST)

Smart Stop Technology automatically reduces engine power when the accelerator
and brake pedals are pressed simultaneously under certain conditions.
SST engages when the accelerator is depressed first and the brakes are applied
firmly for longer than one-half second at speeds greater than five miles per hour.
SST doesn’t engage if the brake pedal is depressed before the accelerator pedal,
allowing vehicles to start on a steep hill and safely accelerate without rolling
backward.

VEHICLE STABILITY CONTROL (VSC)

VSC helps prevent loss of traction during cornering by reducing engine power and
applying brake force to selected wheels.
Toyota’s VSC monitors steering angle and the direction your vehicle is traveling.
When it senses that the front or rear wheels begin to lose traction, VSC reduces
engine power and applies braking to selected wheels. This helps restore traction
and vehicle control.

86
 TRACTION CONTROL (TRAC)
VSC helps prevent loss of traction during cornering by reducing engine power, and

OVERVIEW
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.

Floor mat installation

There are two types of Toyota floor mats: carpeted and all-weather. Each vehicle

FEATURES & OPERATIONS

has model-specific floor mats. Installation is easy.
To keep your floor mat properly positioned, follow these steps:
• Only use Toyota floor mats designed for your specific model.
• Only use one floor mat at a time, using the equipped fasteners to keep the mat in
place.
• Install floor mats right side up.

Always align the marks
