Toyota Pre-Collision System with Pedestrian Detection

Arlington-area drivers should know that there are several variations of the Toyota Pre-Collision System. With Toyota Safety Sense™ P (TSS P) or Toyota Safety Sense™ 2.0 (TSS 2.0) being the two most common, there’s also the Pedestrian Detection included.

With Pedestrian Detection, there’s an additional grille-mounted system that will use millimeter-wave radar in order to check the surroundings for smaller objects that the PCS could miss. It examines the size, shape, and motion of the smaller object to identify vulnerable people and apply the brakes if needed.

What’s Included with Toyota Safety Sense™?

Features will vary based on which Toyota model and model year that you choose, but you will get one of the three available Toyota Safety Sense™ packages. Below is a look at the newest and most comprehensive version, Toyota Safety Sense™ 2.0 (TSS 2.0):

• Pre-Collision System with Pedestrian Detection (PCS w/PD)
• Lane Departure Alert with Steering Assist (LDA w/SA)
• Lane Tracing Assist (LTA)
• Automatic High Beams (AHB)
• Dynamic Radar Cruise Control (DRCC) or Full-Speed Range DRCC
• Road Sign Assist (RSA)
