As part of the Pre-Collision System, this function is also designed to f\
irst provide an
alert and then automatic braking if needed.
Refer to a Toyota Owner’s Manual for additional limitations and infor\
mation.Under certain conditions, the PCS system included with the TSS-P package\
may
also help to detect a pedestrian in front of your vehicle using the in-v\
ehicle camera
and front-grill mounted millimeter wave radar. The in-vehicle camera of \
PCS
detects a potential pedestrian based on size, profile, and motion of the\
detected
pedestrian. However, a pedestrian may not be detected depending on the
conditions, including the surrounding brightness and the motion, posture\
, size, and
angle of the potential detected pedestrian, preventing the system from o\
perating or
engaging.
PCS PEDESTRIAN DETECTION
LDA in TSS-P uses an in-vehicle camera designed to detect visible white \
and yellow
lane markers in front of the vehicle and the vehicle’s position on th\
e road. If the
system determines that the vehicle is starting to unintentionally deviat\
e from its lane,
the system alerts the driver with an audio and visual alert. When the al\
erts occur,
the driver must check the surrounding road situation and carefully opera\
te the
steering wheel to move the vehicle back to the center part of their lane\
.
LDA is designed to function at speeds of approximately 32 mph (50 km/h)\
or higher
on relatively straight roadways.
