Quick overview-Toyota Safety Sense™ P (TSS-P)
Sensors
TSS-P combines an in-vehicle camera mounted in front of the inside rear \
view mirror
and a millimeter-wave radar mounted in the front grill. These sensors su\
pport the
driver assist systems.
Camera sensor
Radar sensor
TOYOTA SAFETY SENSE™
The Pre-Collision System uses a radar sensor and camera sensor to help d\
etect
vehicles and pedestrians in front of your vehicle.
As there is a limit to the degree of recognition accuracy and control pe\
rformance
that this system can provide, do not overly rely on this system. This sy\
stem will not
prevent collisions or lessen collision damage or injury in every situati\
on. Do not use
PCS instead of normal braking operations under any circumstances. Do not\
attempt
to test the operation of the pre-collision system yourself, as the syste\
m may not
operate or engage, possibly leading to an accident. In some situations, \
such as
when driving in inclement weather such as heavy rain, fog, snow or a san\
dstorm or
while driving on a curve and for a few seconds after driving on a curve,\
a vehicle
may not be detected by the radar and camera sensors, preventing the syst\
em from
operating or engaging properly.
Refer to a Toyota Owner’s Manual for a list of additional situations \
in which the
system may not operate properly.
Refer to a Toyota Owner’s Manual for additional information on PCS w/\
PD operation,
settings adjustments, limitations, and precautions before attempting to \
use it. Pre-Collision Warning
When the system determines that the possibility of a frontal collision i\
s high, a
buzzer will sound and a warning message will be displayed on the Multi-I\
nformation
Display (MID) to urge the driver to take evasive action.
Pre-Collision Brake Assist
If the driver notices the hazard and brakes, the system may provide addi\
tional
braking force using Brake Assist. This system may prime the brakes and m\
ay apply
greater braking force in relation to how strongly the brake pedal is dep\
ressed.
Pre-Collision Braking
If the driver does not brake in a set time and the system determines tha\
t the
possibility of a frontal collision with a preceding vehicle is extremely\
high, the
system may automatically apply the brakes, reducing speed in order to he\
lp the
driver reduce the impact and in certain cases avoid the collision.
Toyota Safety Sense™ P (TSS-P) is a set of active safety technologies designed
to help mitigate or prevent collisions across a wide range of traffic si\
tuations, in
certain conditions. TSS-P is designed to help support the driver’s aw\
areness,
decision making and vehicle operation contributing to a safe driving exp\
erience.
Refer to the Owner’s Manual for operation, setting adjustments, limitations and
more details to understand these functions and complete safety precautions. For
more information, please go to http://www.toyota.com/safety-sense
Lane Departure Alert with Steering Assist function (LDA w/SA)
LDA w/SA is designed to provide notification when the system
detects an unintended lane departure.
The Steering Assist function is designed to provide small
corrective steering inputs to the steering wheel for a short
period of time to help keep the vehicle in its lane.
Automatic High Beams (AHB)
AHB is designed to detect the headlights of oncoming vehicles
and the tail lights of preceding vehicles and switch between
high beams and low beams as appropriate.
Pre-Collision System with Pedestrian Detection function (PCS w/PD)
PCS w/PD is designed to provide alert, mitigation, and/or
avoidance support in certain conditions, when the system
detects a potential collision with a preceding vehicle is likely to
occur.
Advanced millimeter-wave radar sensor system is designed
to work with the camera sensor to help recognize a preceding
pedestrian, and provide an alert, mitigation and/or avoidance
support in certain conditions.
Dynamic Radar Cruise Control (DRCC)
DRCC is designed to help maintain a pre-set distance to a
preceding vehicle when the preceding vehicle is traveling at a
lower speed.
