TOYOTA SAFETY SENSE™ (TSS)

With TSS-C, Pre-Collision System (PCS) uses an in-vehicle camera and laser to help detect the vehicle in front of your vehicle. As there is a limit to the degree of recognition accuracy and control performance that this system can provide, do not overly rely on this system. This system will not prevent collisions or lessen collision damage or injury in every situation. 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 system 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 sandstorm or while driving on a curve and for a few seconds after driving on a curve, a vehicle may not be detected by the laser and camera sensors, preventing the system 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.

• When PCS determines that the possibility of a frontal collision with that vehicle is high, it prompts the driver to take evasive action and brake, by using an audio and visual alert
  • These alerts are designed to operate when the vehicle speed is between approximately 7 to 85 miles-per-hour (MPH) for potential collisions with a vehicle(Alerts are designed to function prior to brake function at speeds between approximately 10-85 MPH. Alert and brake functions may occur simultaneously for PCSoperational speeds below 10 MPH.)
• If the driver notices the hazard and brakes, the system may provide additional braking force using Brake Assist. This system may prime the brakes and may apply greater braking force in relation to how strongly the brake pedal is depressed
• If the driver does not brake in a set time and the system determines that 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 help the driver reduce the impact and in certain cases avoid the collision
  • The PCS included with the TSS-C package may operate the automatic braking feature at speeds between approximately 7 to 50 MPH6 for potential collisions with a preceding vehicle
  • May reduce vehicle speed by up to 19 MPH for potential collisions with a preceding vehicle
• If the vehicle is stopped by the operation of the pre-collision brake function, the operation of the pre-collision brake hold will be canceled (brake will be released) after the vehicle has been stopped for approximately two seconds to allow the vehicle to move, if necessary. The driver of the vehicle must then determine whether brake or gas pedal application, or neither, is appropriate for the conditions

The pre-collision brake function may not operate if certain operations are performed by the driver. If the accelerator pedal is being depressed strongly or the steering wheel is being turned, the system may determine that the driver is taking evasive action and possibly prevent the pre-collision braking function from operating. In some situations, while the pre-collision brake function is operating, operation of the function may be canceled if the accelerator pedal is depressed strongly or the steering wheel is turned and the system determines that the driver is taking evasive action.

The following setting(s) can be adjusted (Varies by vehicle and type of TSS):

• PCS Alert Timing (Alert timing only, brake operation remains the same): Far - Mid (default) - Near
• Pre-Collision System: Turn function ON or OFF. If PCS is turned OFF by the driver, PCS will default back to ON with the Mid alert timing each time the ignition is cycled.

Refer to a Toyota Owner's Manual for additional information on PCS operation, settings adjustments, limitations, and precautions.

LDA in both TSS-C and 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 the road. If the system determines that the vehicle is starting to unintentionally deviate from its lane, the system alerts the driver with an audio and visual alert. When the alerts occur, the driver must check the surrounding road situation and carefully operate the 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

Automatic High Beams (AHB) is a safety system designed to help drivers see more of what's ahead at nighttime without dazzling other drivers. When enabled, AHB uses an in-vehicle camera to help detect the headlights of oncoming vehicles and tail lights of preceding vehicles, then automatically switches between high and low beams as appropriate to provide the most light possible and enhance forward visibility. By using high beams more frequently, the system may allow earlier detection of pedestrians and obstacles.

AHB is designed to function at speeds of approximately 25 MPH or higher. Minimum speed may vary by vehicle
The following setting(s) can be adjusted:

AHB: Turn ON or OFF
Refer to a Toyota Owner's Manual for additional information on AHB operation, settings adjustments, limitations, and precautions.

As there is a limit to the degree of recognition accuracy and control performance that this system can provide, do not overly rely on this system. This system will not prevent collisions or lessen collision damage or injury in every situation. 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 system 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 sandstorm 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 system 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.

VEHICLE DETECTION (PCS)

With Toyota Safety Sense™ P, PCS uses an in-vehicle camera and front-grill mounted millimeter-wave radar to help detect the vehicle in front of your vehicle.

• • • When PCS determines that the possibility of a frontal collision with a preceding vehicle is high, it prompts the driver to take evasive action and brake, by using an audio and visual alert
      • These alerts are designed to operate when the vehicle speed is between approximately 7 to 110 MPH for potential collisions with a preceding vehicle
    • If the driver notices the hazard and brakes, the system may provide additional braking force using Brake Assist. This system may prime the brakes and may apply greater braking force in relation to how strongly the brake pedal is depressed
    • If the driver does not brake in a set time and the system determines that 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 help the driver reduce the impact and in certain cases avoid the collision
      • The PCS included with the TSS-P package may operate the automatic braking feature at speeds between approximately 7 to 110 MPH for potential collisions with a preceding vehicle
      • May reduce vehicle speed by up to 25 MPH for potential collisions with a preceding vehicle

Applicable to TSS-P PCS Vehicle and Pedestrian Detection: If the vehicle is stopped by the operation of the pre-collision brake function, the operation of the pre-collision brake hold will be canceled (brake will be released) after the vehicle has been stopped for approximately two seconds to allow the vehicle to move, if necessary. The driver of the vehicle must then determine whether brake or gas pedal application, or neither, is appropriate for the conditions.

Applicable to TSS-P PCS Vehicle and Pedestrian Detection: The pre-collision braking function may not operate if certain operations are performed by the driver. If the accelerator pedal is being depressed strongly or the steering wheel is being turned, the system may determine that the driver is taking evasive action and possibly prevent the pre-collision braking function from operating. In some situations, while the pre-collision braking function is operating, operation of the function may be canceled if the accelerator pedal is depressed strongly or the steering wheel is turned and the system determines that the driver is taking evasive action.

The following setting(s) can be adjusted (Varies by vehicle and type of TSS). Adjustments made affect Vehicle and Pedestrian Detection together, they cannot be independently adjusted:

• • • PCS Alert Timing (Alert timing only, brake operation remains the same): Far - Mid (default) - Near
    • Pre-Collision System: Turn function ON or OFF. If PCS is turned OFF by the driver, PCS will default back to ON with the mid alert timing each time the ignition is cycled.

Refer to a Toyota Owner's Manual for additional information on PCS w/PD operation, settings adjustments, limitations, and precautions.

TSS-P equipped vehicles include Dynamic Radar Cruise Control (DRCC). On highways, DRCC5 functions similar to conventional “constant speed” cruise control in that its helps vehicles travel at a consistent speed set by the driver, but this system adds a vehicle-to-vehicle distance control mode which assists the driver by adjusting vehicle speed (within a set range) to help maintain a pre-set distance to a preceding vehicle when the preceding vehicle is traveling at a lower speed.
