- [Narrator] Toyota Safety Sense, or TSS,
is an advanced suite of active safety features
that has undergone several enhancements
since its introduction in 2016.
This video will provide an overview of
how to adjust various settings
for the driver assistance systems
that make up the TSS 3.0 suite.
Most of these are managed through
the Settings menu of the vehicle's multi-information display
on the instrument panel,
which is typically controlled through
the directional switches on the steering wheel.
Let's get started.
(lively music)
The Pre-Collision System with Pedestrian Detection
is designed to help detect a vehicle, pedestrian,
bicyclist, or motorcyclist,
and provide an audio and visual forward collision warning.
If the driver does not react to the warning,
the system may provide automatic emergency braking.
Drivers have the option to adjust the warning timing for PCS
to one of three settings.
To adjust the warning timing,
select the Settings menu and press OK.
Next, select PCS and press and hold OK
to access the PCS settings.
From here, select Warning Timing
and press OK to change to the desired setting.
Each time OK is pressed, the warning timing will change.
Please note that,
when the pre-collision warning timing is changed,
the emergency steering assist timing will also be changed.
Additionally, when the latest setting is selected,
the emergency steering assist,
excluding the active steering function, if equipped,
will not operate in most cases.
Finally, when Dynamic Radar Cruise Control is on,
the pre-collision warning operates at an earlier timing,
regardless of the driver's setting.
Drivers can also opt to disable the PCS.
To do this, select the PCS icon from Settings,
and then press and hold OK on the steering wheel controls
until the setting screen is displayed.
From here, select the PCS icon and then press the OK button.
A prompt will appear on the multi-information display
and ask to confirm before disabling the system.
Select Yes and press the OK button one more time to confirm.
An amber PCS icon will be illuminated
to indicate that the system is off.
The system is automatically enabled
each time the engine switch is turned to on.

Lane Departure Alert with Steering Assist is designed to
issue an audio or visual lane departure warning
if an inadvertent lane departure is detected
while driving at speeds above 30 miles per hour.
If the driver does not take corrective action,
the system is also designed to provide
gentle corrective steering for lane keeping assistance.
Drivers have the option to adjust the system's alert timing
or turn it off completely.
Select Settings and then select LDA and press and hold OK.
When the Settings screen is displayed
on the multi-information display,
select LDA and then press OK to turn the system on or off.
LDA alert types can also be adjusted
from the LDA settings menu.
Then select Alert Options from the LDA settings menu
and then press OK to change to the desired setting
for either vibration or beep.
To change the alert timing, select Alert Timing,
and then press OK to change to the desired setting.
Each time OK is pressed, the alert timing changes.
(lively music)
Dynamic Radar Cruise Control, or DRCC,
is an adaptive cruise control system that is designed to be
set at speeds above approximately 20 miles per hour.
When activated, DRCC uses a camera and radar sensor
to judge vehicle-to-vehicle distance
to help maintain a preset distance from the vehicle ahead.
DRCC or conventional cruise control can be selected by
pressing the Driving Assist Mode Select switch.
Pressing this switch
toggles between the two cruise control modes.
To activate, select the mode
via the Driving Assist Mode Select switch,
then accelerate to the desired speed,
and press the Driving Assist switch
to set the vehicle speed.
To adjust vehicle-to-vehicle distance when using DRCC,
press the Vehicle-To-Vehicle Distance switch
to toggle between the four following distance settings.
(lively music) (computer beeping)
The set speed can be increased by
about one mile per hour in either mode
by a single press of the + Resume switch
or increased by larger increments by holding the switch.
Similarly, the set speed can be decreased
by pressing or holding the - switch.
To cancel either cruise control mode, press the brake pedal
or the Cancel switch on the steering wheel.
This will turn the system off
but retain the last set speed in memory,
enabling the driver to resume operations at that set limit
by pressing the + Resume switch.
However, pressing the Driving Assist switch
when cruise control is set
switches the cruise control off completely,
erasing the memory of the previously set speed.
(lively music)
When Dynamic Radar Cruise Control is enabled
and lane markers are detected,
Lane Tracing Assist, or LTA,
uses the lines on the road and/or preceding vehicles
to provide active driving assistance
and help keep the vehicle centered in its lane.
When LTA is activated,
the Emergency Driving Stop System, or EDSS,
is also activated.
Additionally, LTA is active
only when Dynamic Radar Cruise Control has a speed set.
A quick press of the LTA switch on the steering wheel
can activate or deactivate this feature.

Automatic High Beams are designed to help drivers
see more clearly at night
and operates at speeds above 21 miles per hour.
The system is designed to detect
the headlights of oncoming vehicles
and taillights of preceding vehicles,
then automatically toggle between
high and low beams accordingly.
To activate the system, turn the headlights on
or switch to Auto and press the Automatic High Beam switch.
The high beams can still be activated manually
by pushing the headlight lever forward.
Low beams can be activated manually
by moving the headlight lever back to its standard position
with Automatic High Beams turned off.
(lively music)
Road Sign Assist, or RSA, is designed to detect speed limit,
"stop", "do not enter", "yield" signs,
and certain warning signs, and then display them on the MID.
The driver has the option to turn the system off or on
from the Settings menu by selecting RSA and pressing OK.
For additional RSA settings,
select RSA from the Settings menu, then press and hold OK.
(lively music)
Proactive Driving Assist, or PDA,
is available on certain TSS 3.0 equipped vehicles
and provides gentle braking into curves
as well as gentle braking or steering
to help support driving tasks,
such as distance control between the driver's vehicle
and a preceding vehicle, pedestrian, or bicyclist.
Drivers can adjust PDA's sensitivity
within the Settings menu.
Select PDA and then press and hold OK
until the Settings screen is displayed.
Select Sensitivity and then press OK
to change to the desired setting.
(lively music) (computer beeping)
It should also be noted that the individual features of PDA
can be turned on or off as well.
From the PDA settings menu, select Deceleration Assist, DA,
Steering Assist, SA, if equipped,
or Obstacle Anticipation Assist, OAA,
and press OK to turn the feature off.
Finally, the driver can also select
to disable the entire system.
From the settings menu,
select PDA and then press OK to toggle the system off.
