    Dear Everybody. I am hoping to get a quick guidance about the safety sense feature in prius alpha.

    So I am about this close to purchase a new 2020 second hand prius alpha before I notice something odd. That is a missing button in Prius Alpha 2020 compare to Prius Alpha 2017.

    If you see the photo that attached to this post, you can see that prius alpha 2017 have that button to adjust the proximity of safety sense (that is, how far our car to the front car until the warning alert is triggered). This is a key feature that I want in my car.

    However such a button does not exist in the 2020. Even though the line assist button is exist in the two cars.

    Now my questions are:
    1. Does having line assist does not mean the car have that proximity warning feature (or we may call it safety sense).

    2. If such a feature exist, where to do the setting if such a button is non-existent.

    That would be all, thank you for your future help and information

    Does it actually change the distance? I thought it was an "Off" switch.

    If it does, it's possible it was moved to the MID (controlled through your steering wheel D-pad). On North American cars, the sensitivity of the PCS alert was set through the MID.

    Hiya, thanks for the reply. Yes it does, i currently have a corolla fielder and the button is the distance setting. There are three setting, short, medium, far.

    That is possible, however, the MID is in japanese (Japanese used car). Will need to use google translate with camera to find this out.

    Do you by any chance know where to find the manual for this 2020 Prius Alpha?

    Tried to google it but no luck far.
