Mar 1, 2017

Feel a little safer on the road with Toyota Safety Sense (TSS), a multi-feature active safety package that helps to protect you, your passengers, people in other vehicles, and pedestrians. TSS features center around three key areas of accident protection: helping drivers to stay within their lane, preventing or mitigating frontal collisions, and enhancing safety during nighttime driving.

Toyota Safety Sense now comes STANDARD on the following Vehicles:
CARS: 2017 Corolla, Prius, Prius c, & Avalon
SUVS: 2017 RAV4 & Highlander

TSS is offered in two different packages: Toyota Safety Sense C (TSS-C), which is designed for compact vehicles, and Toyota Safety Sense P (TSS-P), designed for midsize and large vehicles.

Pre-Collision System

pre-collision

The Pre-Collision system is designed to scan the road ahead of you for pedestrians and other vehicles using a forward facing radar and camera. When a potential frontal collision is detected, you’ll be alerted with both visible and audible warnings, and brake assistance will automatically activate.

Pre-Collision – Vehicle Detection is available with TSS-C | Pre-Collision – Vehicle Detection & Pedestrian Detection available with TSS-P

Lane Departure Alert

Lane Departure Alert is there to help you stay in your lane using a specialized camera. The system detects road markings and alerts you if you accidentally drift out of your lane with audible and visible warnings on the instrument panel, allowing you to take corrective action. TSS-P offers the Steering Assist functionality with this feature. With Steering Assist, if corrective steering action is not taken, this function will offer gentle corrective steering to help keep your vehicle in the lane.

Automatic High Beams

The Automatic High Beams are a surprisingly practical feature. See more of what’s going on ahead of you at nighttime with this feature, without stunning other drivers. This feature uses a camera to detect when headlights and taillights of other vehicles are ahead of you, and will automatically switch from high beams to low beams, and back, allowing you to focus on the road ahead.

Automatic High Beams are available with TSS-C and TSS-P

Dynamic Radar Cruise Control

Just like conventional cruise control, this feature will automatically control the speed of your vehicle, but with an added twist. Dynamic Radar Cruise Control detects the distance of the vehicle directly ahead of you, and will adjust your speed accordingly. You get that and more with the advanced Full-Speed Range Dynamic Radar Cruise Control. The system will maintain one of three present following distances, and then the vehicle will accelerate back to your original cruising speed once the road ahead is clear.
