WARNING
■Toyota Safety Sense 2.5
The Toyota Safety Sense 2.5 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.
Sensors
Two types of sensors, located
behind the front grille and windshield,
