Quick overview-Toyota Safety Sense™ P (TSS-P)

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.

TOYOTA SAFETY SENSE™
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.

DISABLING 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 (50 km/h)\
 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.

Steering Assist function (LDA w/SA)

Refer to a Toyota Owner’s Manual for additional information on PCS op\
eration, 
settings adjustments, limitations, and precautions before attempting to \
use it.
