Toyota Safety Sense (TSS)
What is Toyota Safety Sense?
Toyota Safety Sense was developed to help protect drivers, passengers and pedestrians (TSS-P only) from harm. TSS is comprised of multi-feature active safety packages anchored by automated pre-collision warning and braking and is offered in the form of two packages:
Toyota Safety Sense P (TSS-P) Midsize & Large Vehicles |
Toyota Safety Sense C (TSS-C) Compact Vehicles |
|
Pre-Collision System (PCS) | ||
Lane Departure Alert (LDA) | ||
Auto High Beams (AHB) | ||
Pedestrian Pre-Collision Alert (PCS w/ PD) | ||
Dynamic Radar Cruise Control (DRCC) | ||

| Pre-Collision System (PCS)
With TSS-C, 9 Pre-Collision System (PCS) 10 uses an in-vehicle camera and laser to help detect the vehicle in front of your vehicle. 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. 13 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.
| Lane Departure Alert (LDA)
If Lane Departure Alert 6 determines that the vehicle is starting to unintentionally deviate from its lane, the system alerts the driver with an audio and visual alert. LDA 6 is designed to function at speeds of approximately 32 mph or higher on relatively straight roadways. In addition to the alert functions of LDA, TSS-P 9 equipped vehicles with Electronic Power Steering (EPS) will also feature a Steering Assist function (LDA w/SA). 11 When equipped and 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.
| Automatic High Beams (AHB)
Automatic High Beams (AHB), 8 found in both TSS-C and TSS-P, 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 taillights of preceding vehicles, then automatically switches between high and low beams as appropriate to provide the most light possible and enhance forward visibility. AHB is designed to function at speeds of approximately 25 mph or higher. Minimum speed may vary by vehicle.
| Pre-Collision System With Pedestrian Detection Function (PCS w/PD)
With Toyota Safety Sense? P, 9 PCS 10 uses an in-vehicle camera and front-grille-mounted, millimeter-wave radar to help detect the vehicle in front of your vehicle. In certain conditions, the PCS system included with the TSS-P package may also help to detect a pedestrian in front of your vehicle. The in-vehicle camera of PCS detects a potential pedestrian based on size, profile and motion of the detected pedestrian. If PCS determines that the possibility of a frontal collision with a pedestrian in front of your vehicle is high under certain conditions, it prompts the driver to take evasive action and brake, by using an audio and visual alert. 13 If the driver does not brake in a set time and the system determines that the risk of collision with a pedestrian in front of your 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.
