Here’s an overview of Toyota’s safety technologies that you can expect to find in our vehicles.
Toyota Safety Sense™: An Overview
Toyota Safety Sense™ (TSS) is the cornerstone of Toyota’s safety philosophy. This suite of advanced active safety features is standard on most models, providing a robust foundation for safe driving. Here’s a look at the various iterations of TSS and the innovative safety features they offer:
TSS-P
Starting with TSS-P, Toyota’s Pre-Collision System (PCS) helps avoid or mitigate frontal collisions by detecting potential hazards and automatically braking if necessary. This system also includes Lane Departure Alert (LDA) with Steering Assist, which alerts you if you begin to drift out of your lane and can provide gentle corrective steering inputs. Dynamic Radar Cruise Control (DRCC) maintains a preset distance from the vehicle ahead of you, enhancing highway driving comfort. Automatic High Beam (AHB) headlamps automatically adjust between the high and low beams based on surrounding traffic, ensuring perfect visibility without dazzling other drivers.
TSS 2.0
The next evolution, TSS 2.0, builds upon the TSS-P features by adding enhanced detection capabilities. The Pre-Collision System now includes Daytime Bicycle Detection and improved Pedestrian Detection in both daytime and low-light conditions. Lane Departure Alert is enhanced with Road Edge Detection, which helps you stay within the lane even when road markings are unclear. DRCC in TSS 2.0 now operates across a full speed range, from a complete stop to higher speeds, and maintains the desired distance even in stop-and-go traffic.
TSS 2.5 and 2.5+
TSS 2.5 and 2.5+ introduce further advancements. PCS now includes Intersection Support, which helps detect oncoming traffic when making left turns and provides Emergency Steering Assist to stabilize the vehicle during emergency maneuvers. Lane Tracing Assist in these packages improves lane recognition, even when road markings are interrupted. DRCC is enhanced with Curve Speed Management, which adjusts your speed when approaching curves, contributing to safer cornering.
TSS 3.0
The latest in Toyota’s safety technology, TSS 3.0, offers even more sophisticated features. The Pre-Collision System now includes Motorcycle Detection and additional low-speed collision avoidance capabilities. Lane Departure Alert is further enhanced with Guard Rail Detection, alerting you if you're getting too close to guardrails. TSS 3.0 also introduces Road Sign Assist, which helps keep you informed of speed limits, stop signs, and other important road signs by displaying them on the Multi-Information Display.
