TOYOTA SAFETY SENSE
Pre-Collision System (PCS)
Provides collision avoidance or damage mitigation
support in speed ranges where rear end collisions are
likely to occur.
Lane Departure Alert (LDA)
Provides notification regarding the risk of unintended
lane departure.
Auto High Beams (AHB)
Vehicle detects lights of leading or opposing vehicles
and automatically changes between high and low beam
headlight settings.
Toyota Safety Sense (TSS) C is a set of active safety technologies designed to
help prevent or mitigate collisions across a wide range of traffic situations. TSS C
is designed to help support the driver’s awareness, decision making and vehicle
operation contributing to a safe and comfortable driving experience.

and complete safety precautions before attempting to use any of TOYOTA
SAFETY SENSE C functions.

the inside rear view mirror recognizes certain shapes and visible white or yellow
lane markings.
