Understanding The Stages of How The TSS Pre-Collision System (PCS) Works | Toyota

This video will explain and provide a clear understanding of the different stages of the Toyota Safety Sense (TSS) Pre-Collision System (PCS) and what you could experience from the inside the vehicle. There are different stages of the PCS system and a better understanding of how the system works can be a benefit to the driver.
The PCS system uses an integrated forward-facing camera and grille-mounted radar, or laser system designed to help mitigate or hopefully avoid certain frontal collisions. TSS 2.0 enhances this system with the addition of low-light detection for pedestrians, plus daytime detection of bicycles.

Vehicle Detection
When PCS determines that the possibility of a frontal collision with another vehicle is high, it prompts the driver to take evasive action and brake by using an audio and visual alert. If the driver notices the hazard and brakes, PCS may use Brake Assist to provide additional braking force.
If the driver does not brake in a set time and the system determines that the possibility of a frontal collision with another vehicle is extremely high, the system may automatically apply the brakes, reducing speed to help mitigate the impact or avoid the collision entirely if possible.

Pedestrian and Bicycle Detection
Under certain conditions, if the Pre-Collision System determines that the possibility of a frontal collision with a pedestrian or bicycle is high, it prompts the driver to take evasive action and brake by using an audio and visual alert. If the driver notices the hazard and brakes, the system may use Brake Assist to provide additional braking force.
If the driver does not brake in a set time and the system determines that the risk of collision with a pedestrian or bicycle is extremely high, the system may automatically apply the brakes, reducing speed to help mitigate the impact or avoid the collision entirely if possible.
For TSS 2.0, PCS is designed to detect bicycles in daytime situations, as well as designed to detect vehicles and pedestrians in both daytime and low-light situations.
Although demonstrated on the 2019 Toyota C-HR, this feature is available on various other Toyota models. See owner’s manual for model specific guidelines and limitations.

It saved me in a roundabout when a car in front of me started breaking suddenly when I was increasing my speed and wasn't expecting the slowdown. The PCS red message along with the sound alert was enough to jolt me into hitting the brakes immediately and I stopped in time to avoid a collision. I love my Toyota C-HR, and I'm very thankful for such features!

Just recently had a scenario where the PCS was really helpful. A car suddenly stopped ahead and while I did apply the brakes the distance was narrow. Pressed on the brakes, pcs applied the additional force and helped me come to a stop within one car length. Very helpful, very useful and a lifesaver in a worse case scenario which thankfully did not happen this time. Thanks toyota!

This technology saved my life! Love my Camry great video!

To be honest this is my first Toyota. I have been an avid Honda owner. Knowing Toyota's reliability and the need for a truck (Tacoma), I went with the TRD PRO in Lunar Rock.

This is the first vehicle I have ever owned that had all of this safety technology. Thankfully I haven't had a chance to use the (PCS), but I have had some Lane Departure warnings, so I know these safety systems are on and working.

Keep up the great work @Toyota USA!

And that is why I bought a 2021 Highlander XSE SPORT its amazing

[hungrymothergoose]

This is so helpful!! It happened to my first Toyota Corolla todya and I didn’t know what the heck happened!!

[EmeryProductions]

Very informative! I’ve been searching for a little while about how this works! Now I know! Thank you!

PCS is a feature that I made sure was included on my new 2019 RAV4 Hybrid Limited, but it does not work! It is turned on and and set at “high” sensitivity, but it will not brake automatically. My other manufacturer’s vehicle with brake assist worked fabulously.

[stevengora]

I have PCS on my 2019 Rav4 and Love to have another set of eyes on the road so to speak. I had to test it and it does work.. it took some guts the first time to trust the car would stop. My foot was ready incase it didnt.

3:36 where are you guys getting the music from lol?

[rivirueren]

I have a chr and I wanna know what is the speed limit of this

Does it work from 5kmph

[matthewfeeney]

How do I know if mine is working? Lane tracing assist and dynamic cruise control work very well, but there have been a few instances where I would have expected PCS to activate but didn't... I have ensured it was on using the MID and increased the sensitivity as well

[boardgameaddict]

Does it only work with cruise control on?

[AJ-xmxc]

Good information. Answered all my questions. Thank you.

[tomeks]

Is there any chance the system will activate during risky overtaking on a 2 way road and apply breaks when I am on the left side of the road preventing me to complete the manouver in time?

[ruslanaminov]

does PCS system will work if driver will hold brake, but with fource not enough to avoid collision ? will it activate break assisst in this case?

[christinezeld]

There is no beep sound at all on my 2020 Camry. Why ?

[cjoe]

My PCS is on but it isn't doing anything at all. No alerts or auto braking. Something is very wrong.

[Thomzzzzzzz]

what is Warning Timing in the vehicle settings
