Toyota Safety Sense demonstrated

in this video I go over all of the safety sense systems and the differences between them. I will show you how to use the systems to be safer and describe the precollision system.

[@jturcios]

As a new Toyota sales rep, I have to say your TSS 2.0 presentation should be a required portion of the Toyota certification curriculum. Well done sir & thank you.

[@stevenwelchtoyota]

Thank you

[@oldschoolwarrior]

This is exactly what I was looking for. I drive a semi and it has “pre-collision” system (they call it “collision mitigation”). With that system, as cars cut in front of you it beeps to let you know you’re close to the vehicle . In heavy traffic it beeps a lot because obviously cars are cutting in front all the time. In my Avalon there’s no beeping. So I wasn’t sure if my pre-collision is working. Will it beep to warn you when you get close to another vehicle? If so, how close? I haven’t heard it beep once so how do I know it’s working?

Hi Steve, great video like many of your others. I just bought an used 2019 RAV4 XLE last week and am wondering how to enable or check if the previous owner disabled the safety features like lane assist, anti-collision, etc. Thanks a lot! 😀

[@stevenwelchtoyota]

Any safety feature that is disabled will show on the dash. I will post my video that shows you how to check within the system for the settings

[@stevenwelchtoyota]

[@stevenwelchtoyota]

Thanks I have had people ask before so I asked and answered

[@itirtajaya]

Awesome video Steven! Thank you for this. I have a question regarding the pre-collision system. How sensitive is it? Say if I am pulling into my garage and park really close to the garage wall, will the car consider that as an imminent collision and actually stop the car before I hit the brake?

[@stevenwelchtoyota]

It wont engage unless you are over 7 mph

[@Nightbird.]

Hi Steven, Awesome educational video! I have a question please: I'm currently considering the 2021 Highlander Platinum AWD. Is the Intersection Support feature on TSS 2.5+ basically a different name for what other manufacturers (BMW, Audi, Mazda) call Front Cross Street Alert? As in you will get a warning if you are making a turn onto a cross street and a vehicle is coming into your path from either the left or right side? Because in Toyota's video of this feature they only show a vehicle coming towards you head on while making a left turn..and not on your left or right sides. Yet..TSS 2.5+ is supposed to protect pedestrians while drivers make left or right turns on a cross street. I'd like to assume if it is protecting pedestrians left and right it will protect you from vehicles when merging on a cross street left or right but I know better than to assume anything on a safety system. Thanks for a response as I need a vehicle with a Front Cross Street Alert system due to having to merge daily on a cross street always seemingly full of speeding cars with texting drivers.

[@stevenwelchtoyota]

It will brake to stop you from crossing in front of a oncoming vehicle to avoid a tbone collision

If you have the adaptive cruise on, and need to get off on an exit, does it kick off if you break? Then if you want to resume back to the speed before you hit the break before the ramp, do you hit resume? Do you have to turn back on lane keep assist as well? Also, can you get a power passenger seat in the RAV4 limited? Gosh, for $40,000 you think it would be there.

[@stevenwelchtoyota]

The cruise will work just like old style cruise for resume and braking to cancel etc. Lane departure is active as long as you have it enabled and are traveling over 32 mph. Passenger side seat is 4 way manual

[@nancyrenfrow6950]

Is the ICS system the same as the Parking Support Break Function? I have been trying to find a way to disable the automatic breaking system so that I can back up in my 2020 Rav4 when my bikes are on a hitch mounted bike rack. I could not find a ICS option. I have not tried disabling PSBF on a fully loaded rack.

[@alejandrozonew196]

Nice video, however please explain about pedestrian crash prevention rav4 Can you activate it in any RAV4 and how Thanks

[@stevenwelchtoyota]

it has to be in a 2017 or newer and will be active unless disabled

[@sr-sr592]

i notice in stop and go traffic my Venza 2021(TSS 2.0) the radar cruise needs me to press the throttle again to move from a stop when the car in front starts moving. Is there a setting to let it move automatically ?

[@stevenwelchtoyota]

no it wants to make sure you are paying attention before moving. it is not ment to be a autonomous vehicle even though in reality the technology is there where it probably would be good

[@Okikor1]

At the end of the video, is the panoramic moon roof part of the limited package?

[@stevenwelchtoyota]

It is a option

[@tammyfaloon9334]

Is the rd making the car shake, or why is it shaking when your driving. Do all hybrid vehicles do that. We just got the Corolla hybrid LE the brand new one. Unfortunately were freaking out over driving it due to probably a safety feature. The accelerator and brake pedal depressed simultaneously message and orange icon came on when trying to out of the parking lot. My husband was pressed on brake really hard. And a point about the brakes I live in a state where thier brake happy and people pull out in front of you when your driving down the rd, so hopefully these so called pre collision brakes will work and stop the from hitting another car when it matters most because we cant afford even a collision that's caused by someone else.

[@stevenwelchtoyota]

It was my mount that did that. I plan on remaking the video with a gopro. The ride is very smooth. If you push the brake and gas at the same time smart stop technology will take over overriding the accelerator

[@jay-essmatawaran8673]

Can you do a Safety Sense demo on a 2021 Highlander XSE ?

[@stevenwelchtoyota]

It is very similar to this

[@jay-essmatawaran8673]

i understand, and you mentioned it on the video. i have the Highlander XSE. i’m just wondering, if it does suppose to give you a warning “BRAKE” sign or beep sound when while you’re driving closer to the vehicle ahead of you. because it does on 21 Avalon. even when the vehicle is on full stop, when there’s a person or object in front of the vehicle. it will give warning or beep sound right away. doesn’t it work like that on the 21 Highlander XSE? i asked and tried this on the dealership. but it doesn’t work like it on the Highlander. please give me an insight regarding this, since i’ve been figuring it out since i purchased my vehicle. thanks.

[@4315jdickey]

Hi Steve I have a question. I have 2022 Highlander XLE AWD. When using adaptive cruise control and the vehicle starts slowing down/breaking does the break lights come on alerting the vehicle from behind? Also with pre-collision when activated does the rear break lights come on alerting the vehicle from behind? So you are not rear ended from behind.........

[@stevenwelchtoyota]

Yes the brake lights activate

How does the Rav regulate its speed when following a car (as that car slows and speeds up)? Is the Rav braking or using the accelerator to adjust speed?

It can do either depending on how fast it needs to slow

Does safety sense give out audio warning that you are too close to the car or pedestrian in front of you. I have Safety sense 2 but I don't get any audio warning at all.

What happens if you have lane keeping assist on and you need to suddenly swerve out of your lane to avoid an object.
