As part of the Pre-Collision System, this function is also designed to f\
irst provide an
alert and then automatic braking if needed.In certain conditions, the PCS system included with the TSS-P package ma\
y also
help to detect a pedestrian in front of your vehicle. With Toyota Safety\
Sense™ P,
PCS uses an in-vehicle camera and front-grill mounted millimeter-wave ra\
dar to
help detect a pedestrian in front of your vehicle in certain conditions.\
The in-vehicle
camera of PCS detects a potential pedestrian based on size, profile, and\
motion of
the detected pedestrian. However, a pedestrian may not be detected depen\
ding
on the conditions, including the surrounding brightness and the motion, \
posture,
size, and angle of the potential detected pedestrian, preventing the sys\
tem from
operating or engaging. Refer to a Toyota Owner’s Manual for additional information.
PEDESTRIAN DETECTION FUNCTIONDISABLING THE PRE-COLLISION SYSTEM (PCS)
LDA in TSS-P uses an in-vehicle camera designed to detect visible white \
and yellow
lane markers in front of the vehicle and the vehicle’s position on th\
e road. If the
system determines that the vehicle is starting to unintentionally deviat\
e from its lane,
the system alerts the driver with an audio and visual alert. When the al\
erts occur, the
driver must check the surrounding road situation and carefully operate t\
he steering
wheel to move the vehicle back to the center part of their lane.
LDA is designed to function at speeds of approximately 32 MPH or higher \
on
relatively straight roadways.
In addition to the alert function, LDA w/SA also features a steering ass\
ist
function. When enabled, if the system determines that the vehicle is on \
a path to
unintentionally depart from its lane, the system may provide small corrective steering
inputs to the steering wheel for a short period of time to help keep the\
vehicle in its
lane.
Press the PCS switch for 3 seconds or more to turn it off. The warning l\
ight and
message displays in the MID. Depress it again to turn it back on.
Note: The system is enabled each time the power switch is turned to ON
mode.
Refer to a Toyota Owner’s Manual for additional information on PCS op\
eration,
settings adjustments, limitations, and precautions before attempting to \
use it.
