The Toyota Alphard Hybrid: A blog dedicated to exploring the 3.0 version of Toyota Safety Sense



TSS 3.0 (Toyota Safety Sense) is the most advanced version of Toyota Safety Sense, it introduces several new features that are designed to make driving safer for everyone, which is an advanced driving assistance system and active safety protection system. The motorcycle detection feature can detect motorcycles in the car's blind spot and warn drivers about potential risks. The Toyota Alphard is far from a new car. This third-generation model was launched back, and also quietly (and very lightly) facelifted. So, why are we reviewing it just now? Because after a long while, it is now being offered as a hybrid with TSS 3.0 Intelligent driving assistance system and active safety protection system. In this blog post, we will explore the impressive features that make the Toyota Alphard Hybrid a standout contender in its class.

TSS 3.0 (Toyota Safety Sense)

ACC (Active Distance Maintenance and Speed Control System): This system helps maintain a safe distance from the vehicle ahead and can control the speed of the Alphard, including full-speed range and stop-and-go capabilities.

PCS (Pre-Collision System) with Early Warning Protection: The system detects potential collisions with vehicles, pedestrians, cyclists, and motorcyclists and provides warnings and braking assistance to help mitigate or avoid accidents.

LTA (Lane Tracing Assist) System: This feature helps keep the vehicle cantered in its lane by providing steering assistance and can also detect and warn the driver if the vehicle is unintentionally departing from the lane.

AHS (Intelligent High Beam Automatic Shielding System): The Alphard's headlights automatically switch between high and low beams to provide optimal visibility while avoiding dazzling other drivers.

RSA (Speed Limit Identification Assist System): This system uses a camera to detect road signs and displays the current speed limit in the instrument cluster, helping the driver stay aware of the speed limit.

Intelligent Brake Assist System: This feature helps provide additional braking force when the system detects that the driver is not applying enough force to avoid a collision.

ABS (Anti-lock Braking System): ABS helps prevent wheels from locking up during braking, allowing the driver to maintain steering control.

BAS (Brake Assist System): This system provides additional braking force in emergency situations to help reduce stopping distances.

EBD (Electronic Brake Force Distribution System): EBD optimizes brake force distribution between the front and rear wheels to improve stability and braking performance.

VSC (Vehicle Stability Control System): VSC helps prevent the vehicle from skidding or sliding during cornering or slippery conditions by selectively applying brakes and adjusting engine power.

TRC (Tracking Anti-Skid Control System): TRC helps prevent wheel spinning during acceleration on slippery surfaces.

HAC (Hill Start Assist Control System): This system prevents the vehicle from rolling backward when starting on an incline by automatically applying the brakes for a short period of time.

BSM (Blind Spot Monitoring System): BSM uses sensors to detect vehicles in the blind spot and provides visual or audible warnings to the driver.

 

RCTAB (Rear Cross-Traffic Alert with Brake Assist): This system detects vehicles approaching from the rear while the vehicle is in reverse and provides warnings. It can also apply the brakes to mitigate a potential collision.

TPMS (Tire Pressure Monitoring System): TPMS monitors the tire pressure and alerts the driver if any tire is significantly underinflated.

These are just some of the safety features included in the Toyota Alphard Hybrid 2.5L E-4WD 6-Seater Automatic with TSS 3.0. The combination of these systems aims to enhance safety and provide peace of mind for both the driver and passengers.
