Great advice for what should be common sense. I did reduce the sensitivity on mine . If I recall correctly there are 3 settings & mine is set to the center setting. Have a great week, Steve!
It needs to do a better job with cross traffic. If I pull out into cross-traffic immediately when a car passes me, it slams on the brakes and I’m stranded sideways in a lane with oncoming traffic.
My wife loves to drive 'attached' to the car ahead and just won't listen to reason. I drive her Camry in rader-cruise mode everywhere, the car itself does a wonderful job 👍😎✊
The safety system saved me from having a huge accident. It stopped me from hitting the car in front of me but the car behind me hit me and the car was a total loss
What kind of vehicle were you driving?
@@IsraelIvanCastro I'm guessing a Toyota if they were on this video
It’s not that I wanted to disable it it’s that I drive a 2023 Toyota Camry xse And when traveling from one city to another when it’s snowing it has caused me to have an accident. I am driving safely and under the speed limit and staying clear away from cars as I can but when it gets blocked, it set my car into a slide. I would think that the automotive manufactures would have looked at us before installing everything the way they did. It is extremely dangerous to stop every 15 minutes to try and clear off any cameras or sensors when driving on a highway especially in heavy snow.
Well said, Steve.
I’m curious, on somewhat the same topic, have you figured out how to change the settings for the front cross traffic on vehicles like the Grand Highlander? I haven’t looked too hard but I haven’t seen it yet. It comes on A LOT. Especially at intersections. Pretty annoying.
I never had any problems with that system. And its on the max seting. I usually always slow down early. I hate having to slam the brakes. It just don't feel that good.
I set mine to max sensitivity in my Highlander Hybrid. But I get 40 mpg so I’m obviously driving wicked mellow anyway.
Steve, I have found that if you go into the PDA (Proactive Driving Assist) setting and Disable the "DA" (Deceleration Assist) setting that even with ALL of the other nanny"s turned and both Sensitivity settings at the maximum 3rd level that my Grand Highlander will not Brake as you come towards another preceding vehicle.
The question is, with this setting off will it still intervene and brake for you if a collision is truly imminent and what is the overall impact and interaction with the other safety systems? 🤔
Yes it will.
My parents used to own 4Runner and PCS is set to MAX and PCS never kicks in because my parents drive carefully and brake early
Most people hate PCS because they don’t know how to drive carefully and brake early, Most people drive hard and brake very late that’s why PCS kicks in
Hi Steve, great videos. Hope you come back to them. The automatic braking is the one technology that worries me about my new cc cross. We live 100k from the nearest store. Winter trips home on extreme ice, through moose pasture , can happen any winter. Steering always trumps braking when these animals jump from the ditch and traction is limited. Question - does subtle driver braking over ride hard brakingby the automatic system? Otherwise, it seems my only option is to disable the system in these conditions via traction control button as you described. Thoughts?
Light braking does let the car’s systems know that you’re aware of the circumstances and it means the systems won’t kick in as quickly. If it sees an imminent threat however, it will hammer the brakes if it thinks you don’t have control
@@TrainerSteveClifford Thanks for the quick reply. One last question occurred to me, would the abs activate during an emergency braking incident, which system has priority?
@@davidhowe9510 ABS absolutely will kick in with manual or automatic braking. No way around that
@@TrainerSteveClifford Excellent! Thanks very much. Knowing what to expect is huge. Your knowledge is invaluable.
I know someone who owned brand new Kia and his crash sensors threw him off the road at 70mph with absolutely nothing in front of him! So I'm not so sure, if those systems are that safe.
If you reduce the sensitivity, will it revert to the medium setting when the car is restarted?
I’ve never tried it but I don’t think so. Pretty sure it doesn’t
No. If you have it on the lowest, it’ll stay on the lowest.
But if you turn it off, it doesn’t stay off.
My 2020 Tacoma flashes brake whenever it’s raining
I started reading the 198 pages on TSS 3.0 in the owners manual and the list of situations where the system may not work or may brake unnecessarily is huge. In fact they seem to work correctly only in ideal weather conditions and ideal road conditions. I regularly drive in situations that Toyota says the system may come on when it isn't needed. How is this safe? Steep hills and curves with undulations and potholes, trees and rock abutments close the the road on sharp curves, changing shade and light conditions. It looks to me like I am safer with the system turned off otherwise it may brake when it should be and might get me in a collision of force me off the road etc. There should be an easier way of turning this function off and on without having to pull over and stop. It seems to me these systems are great for those that live in urban areas and not great for those that live rurally in areas where roads are not paved, straight and without trees etc hanging over.
I live in a rural area with exactly the conditions you describe and the system works quite well. Remember that manuals are written by lawyers who are not describing what is normal. They are describing the absolute worst case. These systems work extremely well and I do not suggest turning them off
Thanks for your reply. I just would rather not have them in a car. I checked with my insurance company and they raise the cost of insurance because they are very expensive to fix, they make windshield replacement excessively expensive (I know someone that paid over $2,000 Canadian for a OEM windshield and recalibration of a camera and I just put a new windshield in my current car for $400.00 Canadian) and based on dealerships I asked you have to fix them if they malfunction or other things on the car won't work properly. If people just paid attention to their driving we wouldn't need these systems. My neighbour had their Blind Spot Monitoring System malfunction and the battery kept dying and the radio and HVAC system were affected and it cost $1,200 to fix. There is no choice now but to have them if you want a new car so I am debating getting a newer used car from a few years back when some of the lower trim models didn't have them. I have read that problems with cars have doubled since all this tech went in and that means one things; higher cost of ownership. @@TrainerSteveClifford
The PCS system in my wife's Toyota 2018 IM activates randomly in clear traffic and alerts & brakes the car with zero obstacles. Super annoying.
Is this the system that Toyota charges you $800 or more dollars after the three year free trial expires.
What? No! Safety is not optional with Toyota
