Toyota Safety Sense
As cars continue to become safer and more convenient, Toyota has taken the next step toward a new dimension of comprehensive integrated safety: Toyota Safety Sense (TSS). This safety package combines Pre-Collision System, Pedestrian Detection, Lane Departure Alert, Auto High Beams, and Dynamic Radar Cruise Control on select 2016 models. Combining these features can help increase your awareness as a safe driver. None of these active safety features are meant to replace driver attentiveness and decision-making, but to enhance them – creating safer roads for everyone.
SEARCH INVENTORYPre-Collision System (PCS)
PCS uses a forward-facing radar and camera to help avoid potential collisions by detecting them and then alerting you both audibly and visually. If you're not able to apply the brakes in time, and PCS determines the collision is inevitable, the system will apply the brakes automatically – mitigating the impact.
Pedestrian Detection (PD)
PD is similar to PCS in that it can detect pedestrians (under certain conditions), alert you audibly and visually, and apply the brakes if you don't react.
Dynamic Radar Cruise Control (DRCC)
DRCC uses the same radar and camera to detect the speed and distance of the vehicle in front of you. It can adjust your speed accordingly in certain situations, maintain a preset following distance, then accelerate back to your original cruising speed when the coast is clear.
Lane Departure Alert (LDA)
LDA alerts you audibly and visually if you start to stray from your lane using a camera that can detect the painted lines on the road. You can then take the proper actions to getting back on track.
Auto High Beams (AHB)
AHB uses a camera to detect the headlights of oncoming traffic. When the system detects another vehicle, AHB will automatically switch to low beams. Once the vehicle passes, AHB will switch back to high beams.
Available on Select Models
Toyota Safety Sense is available on the 2016 Prius, Prius c, RAV4, RAV4 Hybrid, Avalon, Avalon Hybrid, and Land Cruiser.
