Using an in vehicle camera and front grille mounted, millimeter-wave radar to help detect the vehicle in front of your vehicle.
In certain conditions, the PCS system included with the TSS-P package may also help to detect a pedestrian in front of your vehicle. 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 operating or engaging. If PCS determines that the possibility of a frontal collision with a pedestrian in front of your vehicle is high under certain conditions, 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 provide additional braking force using Brake Assist. 13 If the driver does not brake in a set time and the system determines that the risk of collision with a pedestrian in front of your 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.
