What is Toyota Safety Sense™ (TSS)?

Toyota Safety Sense Banner
 

As a dedicated provider of quality vehicles, we at Santa Cruz Toyota understand the importance of safety on the Santa Cruz road. Toyota’s commitment to producing reliable vehicles is further emphasized through their innovative safety suite: Toyota Safety Sense™ (TSS). But what is Toyota Safety Sense™ (TSS) exactly?

Toyota Safety Sense™ (TSS) is a state-of-the-art safety package that integrates cutting-edge technologies designed to assist Watsonville drivers, mitigate potential collisions, and enhance road safety. As vehicles and technology evolve, so does the need for proactive safety measures.

 

 

Key Features of Toyota Safety Sense™ (TSS)

  • Pre-Collision System with Pedestrian Detection (PCS w/PD): This advanced feature helps to recognize potential frontal collisions with vehicles or pedestrians and prompts the driver with audio and visual alerts. If necessary, it can automatically apply brakes to reduce the potential for or severity of a collision.
  • Lane Departure Alert with Steering Assist (LDA w/SA): Designed to detect lane departures on roads with clear markings, it alerts the driver when unintentional lane departure is detected. The Steering Assist function may also provide small corrective steering inputs to help the driver stay in their lane.
  • Dynamic Radar Cruise Control (DRCC): Unlike traditional cruise control, DRCC adjusts your speed to ensure a safe distance with the vehicle ahead, slowing down when traffic is detected and accelerating back to your set speed once the road clears.
  • Automatic High Beams (AHB): This feature ensures optimal visibility during nighttime driving. It switches automatically between high and low beams depending on the presence of other vehicles.
  • Lane Tracing Assist: Works with the Full-Speed Range Dynamic Radar Cruise Control (DRCC) and the lane markers. When enabled and using the lines on the roads, your car will keep the preceding car centered in its lane.
  • Road Sign Assist: Works with the forward-facing intelligent camera to detect speed limit, stop, do not enter, and yield signs and shows them on the Multi-Information Display (MID).

These innovative features are just a few safety technologies incorporated into Toyota vehicles. Toyota Safety Sense™ (TSS) has been designed with a proactive approach to safety, helping to ensure that you and your loved ones are protected on every Santa Clara journey.
