Building on an extensive history spanning more than eight decades, Toyota has positioned itself as a leader in automotive safety. High-strength materials, sophisticated chassis design, and an array of airbags provide protection in the event of a collision. However, Toyota Safety Sense (TSS) driver aids aim to help drivers avoid accidents before they occur.
Until full self-driving becomes commonplace, there's no substitute for remaining alert behind the wheel. Still, there's peace of mind in knowing you have some backup. And since your family's safety is never optional, every new Toyota comes standard with TSS technologies that monitor the vehicle's surroundings, alert you to potential hazards, and help to better and more quickly respond to those hazards. Some features may even help mitigate driving fatigue on a long road trip or tedious commute. Here's a quick explanation of some of the TSS features you'll find in your next Toyota model.
- Pre-Collision System w/Pedestrian Detection: Your Toyota monitors the situation in front of you to detect rapidly slowing or stopped vehicles or crossing pedestrians. If you can't respond in time to the alert, the system will automatically apply the brakes to avoid or mitigate the severity of an impact.
- Dynamic Radar Cruise Control: This feature enhances the cruise control system by automatically slowing or speeding up to maintain a pre-set distance from leading vehicles, limiting the need to continually switch between pressing the brake and accelerator pedals.
- Lane Departure Alert w/Steering Assist: When activated, this system looks for clearly marked lane lines and warns if you begin to stray without activating the turn signal and can steer you back if the vehicle leaves the lane unintentionally.
- Lane Tracing Assist: With road lanes clearly delineated, this feature provides subtle steering adjustments to keep your vehicle within the lines.
- Automatic High Beams: This feature activates the high-beam headlights for improved visibility in dark conditions and monitors for other vehicle lights within a certain range. When it detects an oncoming or closely leading car, the system automatically lowers the beams to avoid impairing other motorists' vision.
- Road Sign Assist: This technology detects important road signs and displays them in the instrument panel. It's particularly helpful for knowing the current speed limit if you missed the most recent sign.
