By the end of 2017, TSS and LSS+ will be standard on almost every model in the Toyota and Lexus lineups.<\/p>\n<p>As with the first generation TSS, the upgraded system is designed to support driver awareness, decision making and vehicle operation over a wide range of speeds under certain conditions. Packaged together into an integrated system, it helps to address three key areas of accident protection: preventing or mitigating frontal collisions, keeping drivers within their lanes, and enhancing road safety during nighttime driving. <\/p>\n<p>The second generation TSS has been expanded to help improve driver situational awareness while providing additional protections for a pedestrian or bicyclist in front of the vehicle. New or updated technologies will include:\u00a0 <\/p>\n<ul type=\"disc\">\n<li>Pre-Collision System (updated) with enhanced deceleration capabilities and the ability to help detect a collision with a pedestrian in front of the vehicle during the day and at night, and bicyclist in front of the vehicle during the day.\n<\/li>\n<li>Lane Departure Alert (updated) enhanced with &#8220;road edge detection&#8221; to increase the vehicle&#8217;s ability to help drivers stay in their lane\n<\/li>\n<li>Road Sign Assist (new), which is designed to display road sign information in an easy-to-understand format on the dashboard meter display and Head-Up Display if equipped. The vehicle&#8217;s onboard camera can detect and recognize certain common road signs in the U.S., <span class=\"xn-location\">Japan<\/span> and <span class=\"xn-location\">Europe<\/span> (road sign type varies by market).\n<\/li>\n<li>Lane Tracing Assist (new), which provides steering support to help the driver keep the vehicle centered in its lane when Dynamic Radar Cruise Control is in operation.\n<\/li>\n<li>Full-Speed Range Dynamic Radar Cruise Control (updated) with enhanced forward recognition and acceleration\/deceleration performance across a wide range of speeds.
