How Does Toyota Safety Sense 3.0 Work?
Toyota Safety Sense 3.0 uses a forward-facing camera and radar to monitor the road ahead. For complete system details, visit Toyota Safety Sense or our Toyota Safety Sense overview.
| Feature | What It Does |
|---|---|
| Pre-Collision System with Pedestrian Detection | Designed to detect vehicles, pedestrians in daytime and low-light conditions, bicyclists in daytime conditions and, in certain situations, motorcycles.

| Lane Departure Alert with Steering Assist | Alerts you to unintended lane drift and can provide gentle steering input |
| Lane Tracing Assist | Helps keep the Camry centered in its lane when radar cruise control is engaged |
| Road Sign Assist | Reads road signs with the forward camera and displays them on the gauge cluster |
| Automatic High Beams | Switches between high and low beams based on oncoming traffic and ambient light |
| Blind Spot Monitor (standard) | Warns you of vehicles in adjacent lanes |
| Rear Cross-Traffic Alert (standard) | Warns of approaching traffic when you back out |

How Does Proactive Driving Assist Work, and Can You Turn It Off?
Proactive Driving Assist is the newest part of Toyota Safety Sense 3.0. Using the camera and radar, it can provide gentle braking and steering support to help maintain distance from a vehicle, pedestrian or object ahead. It can also provide steering support through curves, and it works during everyday driving, not only when cruise control is on.
You stay in control. Proactive Driving Assist can be enabled or disabled through the vehicle’s customize settings menu.
