conditions. TSS is designed to help support the driver’s awareness, decision
making and vehicle operation contributing to a safe driving experience.

Sensors
TSS combines an in-vehicle camera mounted in front of the inside rear view mirror and
a radar mounted in the front grill. These sensors support the driver assist systems.
The Pre-Collision System uses a radar sensor and camera sensor to help detect a
vehicle or pedestrian or bicyclist in front of your vehicle.
As there is a limit to the degree of recognition accuracy and control performance that
this system can provide, do not overly rely on this system. This system will not prevent
collisions or lessen collision damage or injury in every situation. Do not use PCS
instead of normal braking operations under any circumstances. Do not attempt to test
the operation of the Pre-Collision System yourself, as the system may not operate or
engage, possibly leading to an accident. In some situations, such as when driving in
inclement weather such as heavy rain, fog, snow or a sandstorm or while driving on a
curve and for a few seconds after driving on a curve, a vehicle may not be detected
by the radar and camera sensors, preventing the system from operating or engaging
properly.
Refer to the Toyota Owner’s Manual for a list of additional situations in which the
system may not operate properly.
Pre-Collision Warning
When the system determines that the possibility of a frontal collision is high, a buzzer
will sound and a warning message will be displayed on the Multi-Information Display
(MID) to urge the driver to take evasive action.
Pre-Collision Brake Assist
If the driver notices the hazard and brakes, the system may provide additional braking
force using Brake Assist. This system may prime the brakes and may apply greater
braking force in relation to how strongly the brake pedal is depressed.

Refer to the Toyota Owner’s Manual for additional information on PCS operation,
settings adjustments, limitations, and precautions before attempting to use it. Pre-Collision Braking
If the driver does not brake in a set time and the system determines that the possibility
of a frontal collision with a preceding vehicle is extremely high, the system may
automatically apply the brakes, reducing speed in order to help the driver reduce the
impact and in certain cases avoid the collision.
Monocular camera sensor

wave radar
As part of the Pre-Collision System, this function is also designed to first provide an
alert and then automatic braking if needed.
Refer to the Toyota Owner’s Manual for additional limitasions and information.Under certain conditions, the PCS system included with the TSS package may
also help to detect a pedestrian in front of your vehicle using the in-vehicle camera
and lasers. The in-vehicle camera of PCS detects a potential pedestrian or bicyclist
based on size, profile, and motion of the detected pedestrian or bicyclist. However,
a pedestrian or bicyclist may not be detected depending on the conditions,
including the surrounding brightness and the motion, posture, size, and angle of
the potential detected pedestrian or bicyclist, preventing the system from operating
or engaging.
