TSS 3.0 brings even more advances, including Motorcycle Detection, Proactive Driving Assist, and Road Sign Assist.
[Announcer]
[Toyota Safety Sense, or TSS, is a suite of active safety technologies and advanced driver assistance systems.]
[Toyota Safety Sense 3.0 introduces a number of enhancements over the previous generation, including an upgraded forward-facing camera with higher resolution and wider angles, and an improved radar sensor for a longer and wider field of view.]
[These improvements bring new and expanded feature capabilities to the systems found in TSS 3.0, which is now capable of "Over the Air updates".]
[Let's take a closer look at the suite and see what's new.]
[Pre-Collision System, or PCS, is designed to help drivers mitigate or avoid frontal collisions by detecting a vehicle, pedestrian, or bicyclist and providing an audio and/or visual forward collision warning and brake assist under certain circumstances.]
[Additionally, if the driver doesn't react to the warnings, the system is designed to provide automatic emergency braking.]
[With TSS 3.0, the system now has enhanced intersection support with improved detection range capability, including, in certain circumstances, oncoming vehicles in more than one lane while turning and vehicles approaching from a lateral direction.]
[Finally, along with bicyclist and pedestrian detection, TSS 3.0 is capable of motorcyclist detection in certain situations.]
[Lane Departure Alert, or LDA, is designed to detect inadvertent lane departure at speeds above 50 kilometers per hour and issue an audio and visual warning.]
[If the driver does not take corrective action, the system will provide gentle corrective steering to help keep the vehicle in the lane.]
[With TSS 3.0, Lane Departure Alert with Steering Assist now provides enhanced lane recognition to detect certain three-dimensional objects used to define the lane, like certain types of guard rails.]
[Dynamic Radar Cruise Control, or DRCC, is an adaptive cruise control system that uses vehicle-to-vehicle distance control to help maintain a preset distance from the vehicle ahead of the driver at cruising speeds set above 30 kilometers per hour.]
[With TSS 3.0, DRCC sees several enhancements, including an update from three to four cruise distance settings.]
[TSS 3.0 also brings enhanced vehicle detection that enables the system to provide smoother, more natural speed adjustments.]
[Now, when the driver signals to change lanes, the system is designed to detect preceding vehicles in adjacent lanes, and can preemptively adjust the speed for the upcoming lane.]
[Lane Tracing Assist, or LTA, is designed to help the driver keep the vehicle centered in its lane.]
[LTA functions when DRCC is activated, and detects lane markings, as well as the path of the vehicle ahead, and is designed to actively provide steering inputs that help keep the vehicle centered in its lane.]
[TSS 3.0 is also capable of steering the vehicle within its lane to offset the vehicle's driving path to help provide more space between objects being passed in an adjacent lane.]
[In addition, Emergency Driving Stop System is designed to monitor the driver's inputs, such as steering operation.]
[Vehicles equipped with a driver monitor camera are designed to also confirm the driver's eyes are attentive to the road ahead.]
[If the system determines the driver is not attentive, and the driver does not respond to prompts to resume control of the vehicle, it can bring the vehicle to a stop under certain conditions.]
[Road Sign Assist, or RSA, is designed to help detect speed limit signs, stop signs, do not enter signs, and yield signs,
and display an icon of the sign on the vehicle's Multi-Information Display.]
[This system is designed to help provide the driver with additional awareness of posted road signs.]
[The system can also provide alerts, like if the vehicle's speed exceeds the posted speed limit.]
[With TSS 3.0, RSA is now capable of detecting a wider variety of road signs, such as warning signs.]
[Automatic High Beams are designed to help drivers see more clearly at night, while also reducing glare for surrounding drivers.]
[When activated, the AHB system is designed to help detect the headlights of oncoming vehicles and taillights of preceding vehicles, and then automatically toggle accordingly between high and low beams.]
[Proactive Driving Assist, or PDA, is an all-new feature on certain vehicles equipped with TSS 3.0.]
[When conditions are met, PDA can provide gentle braking when driving into curves or gentle braking and/or steering to help support driving tasks, such as distance control between the driver's vehicle and a preceding vehicle, pedestrian, or bicyclist.]
[PDA is comprised of a few separate features, which function in different driving conditions.]
[The PDA feature set includes Obstacle Anticipation Assist, which is designed to detect vehicles parked on the side of the road, or pedestrians or bicyclists either on the side of the road or crossing the road.]
[This feature operates at vehicle speeds of approximately 30 to 60 kilometers per hour, and, depending on the circumstances, may provide mild braking and/or gentle steering assist to control the distance between the detected object and the vehicle inside the lane of travel.]
[PDA also features Deceleration Assist, which is designed to provide gentle braking to gradually reduce vehicle speed when the system detects preceding vehicles or certain upcoming curves in the road.]
[This feature operates at speeds above approximately 20 kilometers per hour when the driver is not pressing on the accelerator or brake pedals.]
[Steering Assist is another feature of PDA, and is designed to detect the lines of the roadway and vary the assistance from the power steering to help the driver stay within the lane.]
[This feature does not actively steer the vehicle, and is designed to operate at vehicle speeds between 10-130 kilometers per hour.]
[With TSS 3.0, Toyota's latest generation of active safety technologies and advanced driver assistance systems are along for the ride.]
[For more information, please visit toyota.ca/safetysense or refer to your Owner's Manual.]
TSS-P - PRE-COLLISION SYSTEM WITH PEDESTRIAN DETECTION3
Pre-Collision System (PCS) provides collision avoidance or collision mitigation support in certain situations where a frontal collision is likely to occur, and in some cases, will automatically apply the brakes to help the driver. PCS can also help detect pedestrians in certain situations.
[Upbeat music plays.]
[Title, “Know your Toyota: Toyota Safety Sense P: Pre-Collision System with Pedestrian Detection”]
[A caption reads: “The features and functions described in this video might not be applicable to your Toyota model. See your Owner’s Manual for details.”]
[A caption reads: “Toyota RAV4 Equipped with Pre-Collision System”]
[An animated Toyota vehicle drives down the street, its camera and millimeter-wave radar sensing the vehicle ahead.]
Narrator: With Toyota Safety Sense P, the Pre-Collision System, or PCS, uses an in-vehicle camera and millimeter-wave radar to help detect the vehicle in front of your vehicle.
[A Toyota driver approaching a vehicle ahead hears and sees an alert, and applies the brakes.]
When the Pre-Collision System 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.
[A caption reads: “Brake Assist is designed to help the driver take full advantage of the benefits of ABS. It is not a substitute for safe driving practices. Braking effectiveness also depends on proper brake-system maintenance, tire and road conditions”]
[A caption reads: “U.S. model with optional equipment shown”]
These alerts operate when the vehicle speed is between approximately 10 kilometres per hour and 180 kilometers-per-hour.
[An animation shows Brake Assist helping to slow the vehicle.]
If the driver notices the hazard and brakes, the system may provide additional braking force using "Brake Assist".
This system may apply greater braking force in relation to how strongly the brake pedal is depressed.
[An animation shows a Toyota vehicle rapidly approaching a vehicle ahead. The alarms sounds but the driver doesn’t respond. The automatic brakes engage automatically, stopping the Toyota vehicle in time.]
If the driver does not brake in a set time and the system determines that the possibility of a frontal collision with another vehicle is extremely high, the system may automatically apply the brakes, reducing speed in order to help the driver avoid the collision or help reduce the impact.
The PCS system included with the TSS P package may operate automated braking for potential collisions with other vehicles when vehicle speeds are between 10 kilometres per hour and 180 kilometers-per-hour.
[An animation shows a Toyota vehicle driving down a city street, its radar sensing a pedestrian walking on the street looking at his phone.]
In certain conditions, the PCS system included with the TSS P package may also help to detect pedestrians.
[The driver is roused to attention by the alarm and applies the brake. Brake Assist helps stop the Toyota vehicle in time.]
If the Pre-Collision System determines that the possibility of a frontal collision with a pedestrian is high under certain conditions, it prompts the driver to take evasive action and brake, by using an audio and visual alert, followed by brake assist.
These alerts operate when the vehicle’s speed is between approximately 10 and 80 kilometres per hour.
[A caption reads: “When the driver does not apply the brakes”]
[An animation shows the driver failing to respond to the pedestrian alarm. The Toyota vehicle applies the brakes automatically, and the vehicle stops just in time.]
If the driver does not brake in a set time and the system determines that the risk of collision with a pedestrian is extremely high, the system may automatically apply the brakes, reducing speed in order to help the driver avoid the collision or reducing the impact.
Auto brake operates at speeds of between 10-80 kilometres per hour for potential collisions with pedestrians.
[An animated Toyota vehicle stops suddenly before another vehicle. The relieved driver then hears an alert and applies the brake.]
If the Pre-Collision System auto braking occurs and brings the vehicle to a stop, the system retains brake pressure for approximately two seconds, then provides an audio alert to notify the driver to depress or maintain pressure on the brake.
Refer to your Toyota Owner’s Manual for additional information on Toyota Safety Sense P - Pre-Collision System with Pedestrian Detection Function.
The Pre-Collision System is designed to help reduce the crash speed and damage in certain frontal collisions only. It is not a collision-avoidance system and is not a substitute for safe and attentive driving. System effectiveness depends on many factors, such as speed, driver input and road conditions. See your Owner’s Manual for details.

[A caption reads: “In order for the system to detect a pedestrian during low light situations, the headlights must be turned on.”]
[Animation demonstrates the vehicle detecting and stopping for a pedestrian in low light conditions, and detecting and stopping for a bicyclist.]
The TSS 2.0 package features a new camera and radar that expand the capabilities of the Pre-Collision System and now offer Pedestrian Detection during the day time as well as in low-light light situations.
[A caption reads: “Bicycle Detection is not available in low light conditions.”]
In addition to the low-light capability, the TSS 2.0 Pre-Collision System now also has the ability to detect bicyclists in both crossing and preceding scenarios during the day time.
[A Toyota vehicle drives along the road. Animation demonstrates the pre-collision system.]
The current TSS-P system is unable to detect cyclists and the addition of this feature helps to broaden protection for those who share the road.
TSS 2.0 also improves the speed reductions capabilities of the Pre-Collision System with vehicle to vehicle speed reduction improving from 40 km/h to 50 km/h.
In addition, speed reduction capability for pedestrians and cyclists improves from 30km/h to 40 km/h, which applies to both daytime and low light situations.
[The multi-informational display is highlighted.]
The Pre-Collision System can be enabled and disabled through the multi-information display. The sensitivity of the system can also be adjusted based on driving preferences.
[Animation highlights a camera and radar.]
[A caption reads: “Models with a Head-Up Display
A warning is also displayed on the Head-Up Display.”]
[An icon highlights the word ‘BRAKE!’ Animation indicates an alarm has sounded, and a driver applies the brakes.]
As with the prior Toyota Safety Sense systems, when the possibility of a collision is detected, the system displays a warning message of “BRAKE!” on the Multi Information Display and sounds a buzzer to encourage collision avoidance.
[Two animated vehicles drive along the road.]
[A caption reads: “without PCS”]
[A caption reads: “with PCS”]
[A caption reads: “Alarm”]

Failure to sufficiently wipe off dirt, oily film, raindrops or condensation, snow or other material may reduce sensor performance. In addition, please do not affix vehicle inspection sticker or place other such items close to the sensor. Refer to the Owner’s Manual for additional information.”]
[A caption reads: “Although this system is designed to help avoid and reduce damage from collisions, its effectiveness depends on a variety of environmental factors. Thus, the system may not exhibit the same performance in all situations. 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.”]
[A caption reads: “The Pre-Collision System is designed to help reduce the crash speed and damage in certain frontal collisions only. It is not a collision-avoidance system and is not a substitute for safe and attentive driving. The Pedestrian Detection System, part of the Advanced Pre-Collision System, is designed to detect a pedestrian or bicyclist ahead of the vehicle, determine if impact is imminent and help reduce impact speed.
It is not a collision avoidance system and is not a substitute for safe and attentive driving.

[Title,, “Know Your Toyota – Toyota Safety SenseTM: Lane Departure Alert”]
[A caption reads: “The features and functions described in this video might not be applicable to your Toyota model. See your Owner’s Manual for details.”]
[A man appears to be nodding off while driving. His vehicle drifts from his lane.]
Narrator: Distracted, tired driving may lead to accidents if a vehicle is allowed to unintentionally drift out of its lane.
[Image of Toyota Safety Sense logo.]
[Animation shows a vehicle drifting out of its lane. An image depicting an audio alert appears next to a driver. The driver awakens and steers his vehicle back into his lane.]
Toyota has developed Lane Departure Alert, a safety system designed to help assist drivers in avoiding this type of accident.
[Animation shows a Toyota vehicle driving on a highway. A graphic labels an in-vehicle camera sensor located by the rear-view mirror. The lane markers ahead of the vehicle are highlighted in yellow.]
Lane Departure Alert signals the driver if the system recognizes that the vehicle has started to deviate from its visibly marked lane under certain conditions.
[An arrow indicates where the lane departure alert camera sensor is located on the top of the vehicle. Lines are illuminated on the road depicting the lane markings. Other vehicles appear in the vehicle’s side mirror. A visual alert appears indicating the system has been activated.]
If the system determines that the vehicle is starting to deviate from its lane, the system alerts the driver with an audio and visual alert.
Here’s how it works.
[A caption reads: “Vehicle speed is above approximately 50 km/h”]
[Animation shows position of in-vehicle camera and the approximate area that its sensors cover.]
When driving at speeds above approximately 50 km per hour on relatively straight roadways with the Lane Departure Alert system turned ON, the in-vehicle camera will attempt to detect visible white and yellow lane markings.
[The vehicle’s multi-information display shows Lane Departure Alert and Steering Assist are active.]
[A caption reads: “Lane Departure Alert system will not operate for the side (s) on which white or yellow lines could not be recognized”]
The vehicle’s multi-information display indicates whether visible lines are detected. The inside of the displayed lines will be empty if the system is not able to detect the lane markings or if the system operation is temporarily disabled. The inside of the lines will be filled in if the system is able to detect the lane markings.
[A vehicle drifts out of its lane. A visual alert appears on the multi-information display.]
With visible white or yellow lane markings detected, if the system determines that the vehicle might depart or the vehicle actually deviates from its lane, a warning is displayed on the multi-information display and a warning buzzer sounds to alert the driver.
[Animation shows a vehicle drifting out of its lane. An image depicting an audio alert appears next to a driver. The driver is jolted awake and steers his vehicle back into his lane.]
[A caption reads: “Warns the driver by a warning chime.”]
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.
[A black Toyota vehicle is driving across a bridge and cuts across lanes, with the turn signal operated.]
If the vehicle intentionally crosses lane markings with turn signal operation, Lane Departure Alert is not activated.
[“Lane Departure Alert” is highlighted on the multi-information display. Steering assist is OFF and then it flashes to ON.]
[A caption reads: “Refer to your Toyota Owner’s Manual to confirm if your vehicle is equipped with Lane Departure Alert and/or Lane Departure Alert with Steering Assist Function.”]
[Animation shows a vehicle drifting out of its lane. A driver is steering the vehicle back into its lane.]
In addition to Lane Departure Alert, some vehicles may also be equipped with Steering Assist function. When equipped and enabled, if the system determines that the vehicle is on a path to depart from its lane, the system will provide small corrective steering inputs to the steering wheel for a short period of time to help keep the vehicle in its lane.
[“Sensitivity” is changed from “Standard” to “High” on the multi-information display. “Steering Assist” is turned from ON to OFF.]
If equipped with Steering Assist function, drivers may be able to adjust alert sensitivity settings and turn Steering Assist function on and off.
[Animation shows position of in-vehicle camera and the approximate area that its sensors cover.]
[A caption reads: “Helps prevent lane departure.”]
Lane Departure Alert is just another way Toyota is working to help enhance road safety and help keep drivers within their lanes.

The current TSS-P system offers drivers the Lane Departure Alert with Steering Assist feature in the form of an audible alert, a visual alert within the MID, and steering assistance to help mitigate lane departure.
[A Toyota vehicle drives along a highway. Animation highlights lane markers.]
The capability of the TSS-P system is also limited to function only when visible lane markers are present.
[Animation highlights the in-vehicle camera. Animation highlights the edge of an uncurbed road.]
[A caption reads: “New for TSS 2.)
Road Edge Detection”]
The new TSS 2.0 system improves this feature and adds additional capability that enables the Lane Departure Alert with Steering Assist to detect an uncurbed road edge without visible lane markers available.
[Animation highlights a dark grey highway with a snow-covered road edge.]
[A caption reads: “Road edge detection
Requires a clear differentiation between the road and landscape”]
It is important to note; the road edge detection capabilities will function best when there is a clear differentiation in colour between the road and the colour of the landscape beside it.
[An uncurbed road with green grass is highlighted.]
For example, if an uncurbed road is lined with green grass, the system can potentially detect the road edge.
[A grey road with a grey gravel shoulder is highlighted.]
In some instances, if the material beside the uncurbed road is of similar colour, such as a gravel shoulder on the side of the road, the system may not be able to detect the road edge.
[Animation highlights the in-vehicle camera. A Toyota vehicle drives along the highway.]
[A caption reads: “Lane Departure Alert with Steering Assist (LDA)

TSS-P - DYNAMIC RADAR CRUISE CONTROL7
Intended for highway use, Dynamic Radar Cruise Control (DRCC), can automatically adjust your vehicle speed to maintain a preset following distance between you and the vehicle directly in front of you. The system is designed to work between speeds of approximately 40 km/h to 180 km/h.
[Upbeat music plays.]
[Title, “Know Your Toyota - Toyota Safety SenseTM P: Dynamic Radar Cruise Control]
[A caption reads: “The features and functions described in this video might not be applicable to your Toyota model. See your Owner’s Manual for details.]
[A driver adjusts the cruise control in a Toyota vehicle and sets it to 100km/h.]
Narrator: Dynamic Radar Cruise Control functions similar to conventional “constant speed” cruise control in that it helps vehicles travel at a consistent speed set by the driver.
[A caption reads: “Radar Cruise Control”]
[A caption reads: “DRCC automatically adjusts vehicle speed in order to help maintain a safe following distance.”]
[An animation shows a Toyota vehicle with dynamic radar cruise control driving down a highway, sensing the vehicle ahead. The Toyota vehicle slows from 100km/h to 80km/h automatically to match the speed of the vehicle.]
But this system adds a vehicle-to- vehicle distance control mode which assists the driver with helping to maintain a pre-set distance to a preceding vehicle when the preceding vehicle is traveling at lower speed.
[A caption reads: “Set the speed by operating the button and lever (DRCC starts)”]
[An animation shows the radar sensor and camera located at the top middle of the windshield, its sensors operating.]
Once a vehicle speed is set by the driver, Dynamic Radar Cruise Control uses millimetre-wave radar and an in-vehicle camera to detect vehicles in front of your vehicle and help determine their distance.
[A caption reads: “DRCC automatically adjusts vehicle speed in order to help maintain a safe following distance.”]
The system is designed to adjust vehicle speed automatically within a set range to help maintain a pre-set distance between your vehicle and the preceding vehicle.
If the vehicle ahead is detected traveling at a speed slower than your set speed or within your distance range, setting the system is designed to automatically decelerate your vehicle without having to cancel the cruise control.
[An animation shows a Toyota vehicle catching up to another vehicle on the highway. The brakes are automatically engaged and the Toyota vehicle slows.The vehicle ahead changes lanes, and the Toyota vehicle drives past at its previous speed.]
When a greater reduction in vehicle speed is necessary, the system may apply the brakes and operate your vehicle brake lights. The system will then respond to changes in the speed of the vehicle ahead in order to help maintain the vehicle-to- vehicle distance set by the driver or return to the preset speed once the road ahead is clear.
[A caption reads: “The distance between vehicles can be adjusted when following a vehicle ahead”]
[The driver presses the vehicle-to- vehicle distance control button.]
The vehicle-to- vehicle distance, or distance between your vehicle and preceding vehicle, can be set by operating the vehicle-to- vehicle distance control. Pressing the button allows the driver to choose from three vehicle-to- vehicle distance settings.
When there is no longer a preceding vehicle driving slower than your vehicle’s set speed, the system accelerates until the set speed is reached and returns to constant speed cruising.
[A caption reads: “Drivers should always be responsible for their own safe driving. Please always pay attention to your surroundings and drive safe”]

[A Toyota vehicle drives along the road.]
[A caption reads: “U.S. model with optional equipment shown.”]
Narrator: When driving on highways, Dynamic Radar Cruise Control helps to reduce fatigue and provide drivers with increased comfort and peace of mind.
It functions like conventional cruise control in that it enables vehicles to travel at a consistent speed set by the driver.
[Animation demonstrates how Dynamic Radar Cruise Control works.
Once a vehicle speed is set by the driver, Dynamic Radar Cruise Control uses a front-grill mounted millimeter-wave radar and an in-vehicle camera to detect a preceding vehicle and help determine its distance.
[The vehicle-to-vehicle distance control is highlighted.]
The vehicle-to-vehicle distance, or distance between your vehicle and the preceding vehicle ahead, can be set by operating the vehicle-to-vehicle distance control.
[A hand presses a button on the steering wheel.]
Pressing the button located on the steering wheel allows the driver to choose from three vehicle-to-vehicle distance settings: Long - Medium – and Short.
[A caption reads: “Long: 50 metres
Medium: 40 metres
Short: 30 metres”]
[A caption reads: “Dynamic Radar Cruise Control is designed to operate under the assumption that the driver will drive safely and is not a substitute for safe and attentive driving.

The driver is always responsible for paying attention to the vehicle's surroundings and driving safely. See Owner’s Manual for additional limitations and details.”]
[Animation demonstrates how the system decelerates the vehicle.]
If the vehicle ahead is detected traveling at a speed slower than your set speed or is within the distance range setting, the system is designed to automatically decelerate your vehicle without having to cancel the cruise control.
[Animation demonstrates how the system responds to speed changes in the vehicle ahead.]
The system will then respond to changes in the speed of the vehicle ahead in order to help maintain the vehicle-to-vehicle distance set by the driver.
[Animation indicates increasing acceleration on a speedometer.]
When there is no longer a preceding vehicle driving slower than your vehicle’s set speed, the system accelerates until the set speed is reached and returns to constant speed cruising.
[A Toyota vehicle drives along the road.]
Toyota currently offers two variations of the Dynamic Radar Cruise Control system.
[A caption reads: “High Speed Dynamic Radar Cruise Control”]
The first system that was introduced is called High-Speed Dynamic Radar Cruise Control.
[A caption reads: “On vehicles equipped with Toyota Safety Sense P”]
[A caption reads: “Functions at speeds of approximately 40 to 180km/h”]
This system is more commonly found on vehicles equipped with Toyota Safety Sense P, and it is designed to function at speeds of approximately 40 to 180 KM/H.
[Animation indicates decreasing acceleration on a speedometer. An audible alert sounds.]
When the vehicle speed drops below approximately 40 KM/H, an audible and visual alert sounds to notify the driver that Dynamic Radar Cruise Control is disabled.
[A Toyota vehicle drives along the road.]
[A caption reads: “Full-Speed Range Dynamic Radar Cruise Control”]
Select Toyota vehicles also feature the new Full-Speed Range Dynamic Radar Cruise Control.
[A caption reads: “Functions at speeds of approximately 0 to 180km/h”]
[A caption reads: “Found on vehicles equipped with Toyota Safety Sense 2.0”]
[The Toyota Safety Sense 2.0 logo appears.]
This system is designed to function from 0 to 180 KM/H and is more commonly found on vehicles equipped with TSS 2.0.
[Animation indicates decreasing acceleration on a speedometer.]
Full-Speed Range can also reduce speed and enable low speed following below 40 KM/H.
[Animation demonstrates how the system brings the vehicle to a stop when the car ahead stops.]
Thanks to the use of an electronic parking brake, it can bring the vehicle to a complete stop if the preceding vehicle ahead stops abruptly.
Upon bringing the vehicle to a stop, the vehicle’s brake pressure will automatically be held until the vehicle ahead proceeds to continue moving forward.

[An animated Toyota vehicle drives down the street, its camera and millimeter-wave radar sensing the vehicle ahead.]
Narrator: With Toyota Safety Sense P, the Pre-Collision System, or PCS, uses an in-vehicle camera and millimeter-wave radar to help detect the vehicle in front of your vehicle.
[A Toyota driver approaching a vehicle ahead hears and sees an alert, and applies the brakes.]
When the Pre-Collision System 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.
[A caption reads: “Brake Assist is designed to help the driver take full advantage of the benefits of ABS. It is not a substitute for safe driving practices. Braking effectiveness also depends on proper brake-system maintenance, tire and road conditions”]
[A caption reads: “U.S. model with optional equipment shown”]
These alerts operate when the vehicle speed is between approximately 10 kilometres per hour and 180 kilometers-per-hour.
[An animation shows Brake Assist helping to slow the vehicle.]
If the driver notices the hazard and brakes, the system may provide additional braking force using "Brake Assist".
This system may apply greater braking force in relation to how strongly the brake pedal is depressed.
[An animation shows a Toyota vehicle rapidly approaching a vehicle ahead. The alarms sounds but the driver doesn’t respond. The automatic brakes engage automatically, stopping the Toyota vehicle in time.]
If the driver does not brake in a set time and the system determines that the possibility of a frontal collision with another vehicle is extremely high, the system may automatically apply the brakes, reducing speed in order to help the driver avoid the collision or help reduce the impact.
The PCS system included with the TSS P package may operate automated braking for potential collisions with other vehicles when vehicle speeds are between 10 kilometres per hour and 180 kilometers-per-hour.
[An animation shows a Toyota vehicle driving down a city street, its radar sensing a pedestrian walking on the street looking at his phone.]
In certain conditions, the PCS system included with the TSS P package may also help to detect pedestrians.
[The driver is roused to attention by the alarm and applies the brake. Brake Assist helps stop the Toyota vehicle in time.]
If the Pre-Collision System determines that the possibility of a frontal collision with a pedestrian is high under certain conditions, it prompts the driver to take evasive action and brake, by using an audio and visual alert, followed by brake assist.
These alerts operate when the vehicle’s speed is between approximately 10 and 80 kilometres per hour.
[A caption reads: “When the driver does not apply the brakes”]
[An animation shows the driver failing to respond to the pedestrian alarm. The Toyota vehicle applies the brakes automatically, and the vehicle stops just in time.]
If the driver does not brake in a set time and the system determines that the risk of collision with a pedestrian is extremely high, the system may automatically apply the brakes, reducing speed in order to help the driver avoid the collision or reducing the impact.
Auto brake operates at speeds of between 10-80 kilometres per hour for potential collisions with pedestrians.
[An animated Toyota vehicle stops suddenly before another vehicle. The relieved driver then hears an alert and applies the brake.]
If the Pre-Collision System auto braking occurs and brings the vehicle to a stop, the system retains brake pressure for approximately two seconds, then provides an audio alert to notify the driver to depress or maintain pressure on the brake.
Refer to your Toyota Owner’s Manual for additional information on Toyota Safety Sense P - Pre-Collision System with Pedestrian Detection Function.
The Pre-Collision System is designed to help reduce the crash speed and damage in certain frontal collisions only. It is not a collision-avoidance system and is not a substitute for safe and attentive driving. System effectiveness depends on many factors, such as speed, driver input and road conditions.

[Title,, “Know Your Toyota – Toyota Safety SenseTM: Lane Departure Alert”]
[A caption reads: “The features and functions described in this video might not be applicable to your Toyota model. See your Owner’s Manual for details.”]
[A man appears to be nodding off while driving. His vehicle drifts from his lane.]
Narrator: Distracted, tired driving may lead to accidents if a vehicle is allowed to unintentionally drift out of its lane.
[Image of Toyota Safety Sense logo.]
[Animation shows a vehicle drifting out of its lane. An image depicting an audio alert appears next to a driver. The driver awakens and steers his vehicle back into his lane.]
Toyota has developed Lane Departure Alert, a safety system designed to help assist drivers in avoiding this type of accident.
[Animation shows a Toyota vehicle driving on a highway. A graphic labels an in-vehicle camera sensor located by the rear-view mirror. The lane markers ahead of the vehicle are highlighted in yellow.]
Lane Departure Alert signals the driver if the system recognizes that the vehicle has started to deviate from its visibly marked lane under certain conditions.
[An arrow indicates where the lane departure alert camera sensor is located on the top of the vehicle. Lines are illuminated on the road depicting the lane markings. Other vehicles appear in the vehicle’s side mirror. A visual alert appears indicating the system has been activated.]
If the system determines that the vehicle is starting to deviate from its lane, the system alerts the driver with an audio and visual alert.
Here’s how it works.
[A caption reads: “Vehicle speed is above approximately 50 km/h”]
[Animation shows position of in-vehicle camera and the approximate area that its sensors cover.]
When driving at speeds above approximately 50 km per hour on relatively straight roadways with the Lane Departure Alert system turned ON, the in-vehicle camera will attempt to detect visible white and yellow lane markings.
[The vehicle’s multi-information display shows Lane Departure Alert and Steering Assist are active.]
[A caption reads: “Lane Departure Alert system will not operate for the side (s) on which white or yellow lines could not be recognized”]
The vehicle’s multi-information display indicates whether visible lines are detected. The inside of the displayed lines will be empty if the system is not able to detect the lane markings or if the system operation is temporarily disabled. The inside of the lines will be filled in if the system is able to detect the lane markings.
[A vehicle drifts out of its lane. A visual alert appears on the multi-information display.]
With visible white or yellow lane markings detected, if the system determines that the vehicle might depart or the vehicle actually deviates from its lane, a warning is displayed on the multi-information display and a warning buzzer sounds to alert the driver.
[Animation shows a vehicle drifting out of its lane. An image depicting an audio alert appears next to a driver. The driver is jolted awake and steers his vehicle back into his lane.]
[A caption reads: “Warns the driver by a warning chime.”]
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.
[A black Toyota vehicle is driving across a bridge and cuts across lanes, with the turn signal operated.]
If the vehicle intentionally crosses lane markings with turn signal operation, Lane Departure Alert is not activated.
[“Lane Departure Alert” is highlighted on the multi-information display. Steering assist is OFF and then it flashes to ON.]
[A caption reads: “Refer to your Toyota Owner’s Manual to confirm if your vehicle is equipped with Lane Departure Alert and/or Lane Departure Alert with Steering Assist Function.”]
[Animation shows a vehicle drifting out of its lane. A driver is steering the vehicle back into its lane.]
In addition to Lane Departure Alert, some vehicles may also be equipped with Steering Assist function. When equipped and enabled, if the system determines that the vehicle is on a path to depart from its lane, the system will provide small corrective steering inputs to the steering wheel for a short period of time to help keep the vehicle in its lane.
[“Sensitivity” is changed from “Standard” to “High” on the multi-information display. “Steering Assist” is turned from ON to OFF.]
If equipped with Steering Assist function, drivers may be able to adjust alert sensitivity settings and turn Steering Assist function on and off.
[Animation shows position of in-vehicle camera and the approximate area that its sensors cover.]
[A caption reads: “Helps prevent lane departure.”]
Lane Departure Alert is just another way Toyota is working to help enhance road safety and help keep drivers within their lanes.
[A caption reads: “Drivers should always be responsible for their own safe driving. Please always pay attention to your surroundings and drive safely.”]
Refer to your Toyota Owner’s Manual for additional information on how to operate Lane Departure Alert and Steering Assist function (if equipped).

[A Toyota vehicle drives along the road. The Toyota Safety Sense logo appears.]
[Animation highlights some of the vehicle’s safety technology functions.]
On top of adding new technologies and capabilities that enhance safety, the new Toyota Safety Sense 2.0 package also improves on existing features and functions.
[Animation demonstrates Lane Departure Alert.]
The current TSS-P system offers drivers the Lane Departure Alert with Steering Assist feature in the form of an audible alert, a visual alert within the MID, and steering assistance to help mitigate lane departure.
[A Toyota vehicle drives along a highway. Animation highlights lane markers.]
The capability of the TSS-P system is also limited to function only when visible lane markers are present.
[Animation highlights the in-vehicle camera. Animation highlights the edge of an uncurbed road.]
[A caption reads: “New for TSS 2.)
Road Edge Detection”]
The new TSS 2.0 system improves this feature and adds additional capability that enables the Lane Departure Alert with Steering Assist to detect an uncurbed road edge without visible lane markers available.
[Animation highlights a dark grey highway with a snow-covered road edge.]
[A caption reads: “Road edge detection
Requires a clear differentiation between the road and landscape”]
It is important to note; the road edge detection capabilities will function best when there is a clear differentiation in colour between the road and the colour of the landscape beside it.
[An uncurbed road with green grass is highlighted.]
For example, if an uncurbed road is lined with green grass, the system can potentially detect the road edge.
[A grey road with a grey gravel shoulder is highlighted.]
In some instances, if the material beside the uncurbed road is of similar colour, such as a gravel shoulder on the side of the road, the system may not be able to detect the road edge.
[Animation highlights the in-vehicle camera. A Toyota vehicle drives along the highway.]
[A caption reads: “Lane Departure Alert with Steering Assist (LDA)
Operates at speeds above 50 km/h”]
The Lane Departure Alert with Steering Assist feature on vehicles equipped with TSS 2.0 will continue to operate at speeds above 50 km/h just as the prior TSS-P system did.
[Animation highlights the LDA button on the steering wheel.]
The Lane Departure Alert with Steering Assist feature is turned on and off via the LDA button located on the steering wheel on both manual and automatic equipped vehicles.
[Animation highlights an illuminated LDA symbol]
When the LDA symbol is illuminated in white in the MID display, the Lane Departure Alert system is on.
[A Toyota vehicle is highlighted. The LDA menu on the multi-information display is highlighted ]
[A caption reads: “Manual vehicles with TSS 2.0

Lane Departure Alert for TSS 3.0 includes features from TSS 2.5 and 2.5+ like Steering Assist and Road Edge Detection. But for added peace of mind, TSS also includes added features like Guard Rail Detection, which can alert the driver if they are getting too close to guardrail. TSS 3.0 also adds Motorcycle Detection.
TSS-P - DYNAMIC RADAR CRUISE CONTROL7
Intended for highway use, Dynamic Radar Cruise Control (DRCC), can automatically adjust your vehicle speed to maintain a preset following distance between you and the vehicle directly in front of you. The system is designed to work between speeds of approximately 40 km/h to 180 km/h.
[Upbeat music plays.]
[Title, “Know Your Toyota - Toyota Safety SenseTM P: Dynamic Radar Cruise Control]
[A caption reads: “The features and functions described in this video might not be applicable to your Toyota model. See your Owner’s Manual for details.]
[A driver adjusts the cruise control in a Toyota vehicle and sets it to 100km/h.]
Narrator: Dynamic Radar Cruise Control functions similar to conventional “constant speed” cruise control in that it helps vehicles travel at a consistent speed set by the driver.
[A caption reads: “Radar Cruise Control”]
[A caption reads: “DRCC automatically adjusts vehicle speed in order to help maintain a safe following distance.”]
[An animation shows a Toyota vehicle with dynamic radar cruise control driving down a highway, sensing the vehicle ahead. The Toyota vehicle slows from 100km/h to 80km/h automatically to match the speed of the vehicle.]
But this system adds a vehicle-to- vehicle distance control mode which assists the driver with helping to maintain a pre-set distance to a preceding vehicle when the preceding vehicle is traveling at lower speed.
[A caption reads: “Set the speed by operating the button and lever (DRCC starts)”]
[An animation shows the radar sensor and camera located at the top middle of the windshield, its sensors operating.]
Once a vehicle speed is set by the driver, Dynamic Radar Cruise Control uses millimetre-wave radar and an in-vehicle camera to detect vehicles in front of your vehicle and help determine their distance.
[A caption reads: “DRCC automatically adjusts vehicle speed in order to help maintain a safe following distance.”]
The system is designed to adjust vehicle speed automatically within a set range to help maintain a pre-set distance between your vehicle and the preceding vehicle.
If the vehicle ahead is detected traveling at a speed slower than your set speed or within your distance range, setting the system is designed to automatically decelerate your vehicle without having to cancel the cruise control.
[An animation shows a Toyota vehicle catching up to another vehicle on the highway. The brakes are automatically engaged and the Toyota vehicle slows.The vehicle ahead changes lanes, and the Toyota vehicle drives past at its previous speed.]
When a greater reduction in vehicle speed is necessary, the system may apply the brakes and operate your vehicle brake lights. The system will then respond to changes in the speed of the vehicle ahead in order to help maintain the vehicle-to- vehicle distance set by the driver or return to the preset speed once the road ahead is clear.
[A caption reads: “The distance between vehicles can be adjusted when following a vehicle ahead”]
[The driver presses the vehicle-to- vehicle distance control button.]
The vehicle-to- vehicle distance, or distance between your vehicle and preceding vehicle, can be set by operating the vehicle-to- vehicle distance control. Pressing the button allows the driver to choose from three vehicle-to- vehicle distance settings.
When there is no longer a preceding vehicle driving slower than your vehicle’s set speed, the system accelerates until the set speed is reached and returns to constant speed cruising.
[A caption reads: “Drivers should always be responsible for their own safe driving. Please always pay attention to your surroundings and drive safe”]

Narrator: When driving on highways, Dynamic Radar Cruise Control helps to reduce fatigue and provide drivers with increased comfort and peace of mind.
It functions like conventional cruise control in that it enables vehicles to travel at a consistent speed set by the driver.
[Animation demonstrates how Dynamic Radar Cruise Control works.
Once a vehicle speed is set by the driver, Dynamic Radar Cruise Control uses a front-grill mounted millimeter-wave radar and an in-vehicle camera to detect a preceding vehicle and help determine its distance.
[The vehicle-to-vehicle distance control is highlighted.]
The vehicle-to-vehicle distance, or distance between your vehicle and the preceding vehicle ahead, can be set by operating the vehicle-to-vehicle distance control.
[A hand presses a button on the steering wheel.]
Pressing the button located on the steering wheel allows the driver to choose from three vehicle-to-vehicle distance settings: Long - Medium – and Short.
[A caption reads: “Long: 50 metres
Medium: 40 metres
Short: 30 metres”]
[A caption reads: “Dynamic Radar Cruise Control is designed to operate under the assumption that the driver will drive safely and is not a substitute for safe and attentive driving.

[Animation demonstrates how the system decelerates the vehicle.]
If the vehicle ahead is detected traveling at a speed slower than your set speed or is within the distance range setting, the system is designed to automatically decelerate your vehicle without having to cancel the cruise control.
[Animation demonstrates how the system responds to speed changes in the vehicle ahead.]
The system will then respond to changes in the speed of the vehicle ahead in order to help maintain the vehicle-to-vehicle distance set by the driver.
[Animation indicates increasing acceleration on a speedometer.]
When there is no longer a preceding vehicle driving slower than your vehicle’s set speed, the system accelerates until the set speed is reached and returns to constant speed cruising.
[A Toyota vehicle drives along the road.]
Toyota currently offers two variations of the Dynamic Radar Cruise Control system.
[A caption reads: “High Speed Dynamic Radar Cruise Control”]
The first system that was introduced is called High-Speed Dynamic Radar Cruise Control.
[A caption reads: “On vehicles equipped with Toyota Safety Sense P”]
[A caption reads: “Functions at speeds of approximately 40 to 180km/h”]
This system is more commonly found on vehicles equipped with Toyota Safety Sense P, and it is designed to function at speeds of approximately 40 to 180 KM/H.
[Animation indicates decreasing acceleration on a speedometer. An audible alert sounds.]
When the vehicle speed drops below approximately 40 KM/H, an audible and visual alert sounds to notify the driver that Dynamic Radar Cruise Control is disabled.
[A Toyota vehicle drives along the road.]
[A caption reads: “Full-Speed Range Dynamic Radar Cruise Control”]
Select Toyota vehicles also feature the new Full-Speed Range Dynamic Radar Cruise Control.
[A caption reads: “Functions at speeds of approximately 0 to 180km/h”]
[A caption reads: “Found on vehicles equipped with Toyota Safety Sense 2.0”]
[The Toyota Safety Sense 2.0 logo appears.]
This system is designed to function from 0 to 180 KM/H and is more commonly found on vehicles equipped with TSS 2.0.
[Animation indicates decreasing acceleration on a speedometer.]
Full-Speed Range can also reduce speed and enable low speed following below 40 KM/H.
[Animation demonstrates how the system brings the vehicle to a stop when the car ahead stops.]
Thanks to the use of an electronic parking brake, it can bring the vehicle to a complete stop if the preceding vehicle ahead stops abruptly.
Upon bringing the vehicle to a stop, the vehicle’s brake pressure will automatically be held until the vehicle ahead proceeds to continue moving forward.

These two pieces of equipment recognize white and yellow lane markings, or the path of a preceding vehicle if lane markers are temporarily not available.
[Animation demonstrates how the system can identify and track the center of the lane. Animation highlights the steering wheel.
By doing so, the vehicle can identify and actively track the center of the lane when Dynamic Radar Cruise Control is activated by providing steering assistance to the driver, even on curved roads.
[Animation highlights two blue lines on the Multi-Information Display.]
When in use, the Lane Tracing Assist feature can be identified by two new blue lines that are located outside of the pre-existing white lane markers shown on the Multi-Information Display.
[Animation demonstrates how the system tracks the path of the preceding vehicle.]
[A caption reads: “Lost”]
[A caption reads: “Lost”]
If lane markers are not clearly visible, the system will also operate by tracking the path of the preceding vehicle ahead.
[Animation highlights three white dots on the Multi-Information Display.]
This operation can be identified by 3 white dots appearing in the MID display instead of blue lines.
[Animation demonstrates Lane Tracing Assist and Lane Departure Alert.]
[A caption reads: “LTA

[A caption reads: “If raindrops or condensation collect on the front part of the forward sensor, wipe it off with the windshield wipers. Failure to sufficiently wipe off dirt, oily film, raindrops or condensation, snow or other material may reduce sensor performance. In addition, please do not affix vehicle inspection sticker or place other such items close to the sensor. Refer to the Owner’s Manual for additional information.“]
[A caption reads: “Lane Tracing Assist is designed to read visible lane markers and detect other vehicles under certain conditions.
When potential lane departure is detected, LTA provides a visual warning and either
an audible alert or vibration in the steering wheel and can apply a slight steering force.
It is not a collision-avoidance system or a substitute for safe and attentive driving.
Effectiveness is dependent on many factors including road, weather and
vehicle conditions.

TSS 3.0 - ROAD SIGN ASSIST10
Road Sign Assist (RSA) is designed to help provide the driver with additional awareness of posted road signs. It is capable of detecting speed limit signs, stop signs, Do Not Enter signs, yield signs and certain warning signs, and display an icon of the sign on the Multi-Information Display (MID).
TSS-P, TSS 2.0, TSS 2.5, TSS 2.5+, TSS 3.0, - AUTOMATIC HIGH BEAM6
All TSS packages feature Automatic High Beam (AHB) headlamps. The system reacts to oncoming headlamps or preceding taillamps, automatically switching from high-beam to low-beam and then back again once the coast is clear.
1 Drivers should always be responsible for their own safe driving. Please always pay attention to your surroundings and drive safely. Depending on the conditions of roads, vehicles, weather, etc., the TSS systems may not work as intended. Please see toyota.ca, your local Toyota Dealer or Owner’s Manual for details.
3 The Pre-Collision System (PCS) is designed to determine if impact is imminent and help reduce impact speed and damage in certain frontal collisions involving a vehicle, a pedestrian, bicyclist or motorcyclist. It is not a substitute for safe and attentive driving. System effectiveness depends on many factors, such as speed, size and position of vehicle, pedestrian, bicyclist or motorcyclist and weather, light and road conditions. See Owner's Manual for additional limitations and details.
5 Lane Departure Alert with Steering Assist is designed to read visible lane markers under certain conditions. It provides a visual and audible alert and slight steering force when lane departure is detected. It is not a collision-avoidance system or a substitute for safe and attentive driving. Effectiveness is dependent on many factors including road, weather and vehicle conditions. See Owner’s Manual for additional limitations and details.
6 Automatic High Beams operate at speeds above 34 km/h. Factors such as a dirty windshield, weather, lighting and terrain limit effectiveness, requiring the driver to manually operate the high beams. See Owner’s Manual for additional limitations and details.
7 Dynamic Radar Cruise Control (DRCC) is designed to assist the driver and is not a substitute for safe and attentive driving practices. System effectiveness is dependent on many factors including road, weather and traffic conditions. Vehicles with manual transmission have regular DRCC. See Owner’s Manual for additional limitations and details.
8 The Lane Tracing Assist lane centering function is designed to read visible lane markers and detect other vehicles under certain conditions. It is only operational when DRCC is engaged. Not available on vehicles with manual transmissions. See Owner’s Manual for additional limitations and details
9 Intersection Turning Assist System
The Intersection Turning Assist system is designed to detect a pedestrian or approaching vehicle at intersections under certain conditions, determine if impact is imminent and help reduce impact speed. It is not a substitute for safe and attentive driving. System effectiveness depends on many factors, such as speed, type of turning maneuver, intersection layout, size and position of pedestrian and weather, light and road conditions. See Owner’s Manual for additional limitations and details.
10 Road Sign Assist only recognizes certain road signs. See Owner’s Manual for limitations.

Standard on all Toyota vehicles, Star Safety SystemTM features six accident avoidance technologies to enhance your vehicle's stability, braking, and traction.
ABS helps prevent brakes from locking up by pulsing brake pressure to each wheel to help you stay in control in emergency braking situations.
Brake Assist is designed to detect sudden or "panic" braking and then add the full pressure needed to help prevent a collision.
This advanced technology automatically cuts engine power and allows the brakes to take precedence over the accelerator when both pedals are pressed at the same time.
VSC helps prevent wheelslip and loss of traction by reducing engine power and applying brake force to the wheels that need it.
Traction Control helps maintain traction on wet, icy, loose or uneven surfaces by applying brake force to the spinning wheel(s).
Toyota's ABS technology has Electronic Brake-force Distribution (EBD) to help keep the vehicle more stable and balanced when braking.
Explore some of our other advanced systems that help keep you safer from the moment you get behind the wheel.
Safety Awards are one measure of our journey towards an accident-free world. Awards from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) are the milestones by which we measure our success.
Along with years of driving enjoyment, the quality we build in at every step of production also serves to enhance your safety when behind the wheel.
In addition to thousands of virtual simulations, Toyota conducts more that 1,600 vehicle crash tests each year – all to learn more about keeping you, your passengers, other drivers, and all of those who share the roads safer. Through a series of comprehensive crash tests, with sensors feeding data at critical moments, we’re able to analyze the effects of impact, and design critical improvements.
Take our airbags, for example. Not only do electronic connections for the airbag system have gold-plated terminals, making them immune to corrosion, every single airbag that comes out of a Toyota plant is inspected three separate times on the production line before being connected.
In 2015, we introduced our Toyota New Global Architecture (TNGA), a complete re-engineering of our powertrains and platforms, designed to make Toyota vehicles better in every way — including stronger, safer and able to readily integrate ever-more advanced safety systems.
