Toyota Safety Sense Features

Experience added safety and security with Toyota Safety Sense. This suite of safety features is designed to reduce the risk of accidents, including those that happen at unintended lane departure, night, and front collisions. These safety features improve driver awareness, allowing you to stay safe while driving. Take a look at the safety features available with Toyota Safety Sense:

• Pre-Collision System With Pedestrian Detection – Your vehicle will monitor your surroundings, and if a vehicle, pedestrian, bicyclist, or motorcyclist, an audio and visual warning will alert the driver to take action, and if corrective actions are not taken then the emergency brakes will be applied.
• Dynamic Radar Cruise Control – When the cruise control is activated, and the vehicle travels over 20 miles per hour, you can preset the distance between your vehicle and the vehicle in front of you. This feature allows your vehicle to adjust speed and maintain a safe distance.
• Lane Departure Alert with Steering Assist – This feature can monitor the lane markings when traveling over 30 miles per hour. If your vehicle begins to drift out of the lane, it will alert the driver and help keep the vehicle in the lane by adjusting the steering.
• Lane Tracing Assist – When your vehicle takes a curve, it will help you stay centered by detecting the lane markings. However, if your vehicle does not detect you being alert and attentive, then the vehicle will come to a complete stop.
• Road Sign Assist – This feature uses a small camera to detect road signs like stop, Do Not Enter, yield, warning, and speed limit signs will be displayed on the dashboard.
• Automatic High Beams – This feature will detect approaching headlights when traveling over 21 miles per hour and automatically switch from high to low beams.
• Proactive Driving Assist – Using gentle steering and braking your vehicle can help maintain a safe distance between you and pedestrians, vehicles, and bicyclists.

There are also safety features that are not included in the Toyota Safety Sense, such as:

• Safety Connect – This package includes features like an emergency assistance button, enhanced roadside assistance, automatic collision notification, and a stolen vehicle locator.
• Front and Rear Parking Assist with Automatic Braking – Your vehicle will use sensors when parking and will monitor your surroundings. If an object or vehicle is detected, an alert will sound, the emergency brakes will be applied, and engine power will be reduced.
• Panoramic View Monitor – This feature uses cameras in the vehicle’s front, rear, and sides to display a 360-degree view of the vehicle’s surroundings on the dashboard.
• Star Safety System – This package of safety features includes traction control, electronic brake-force distribution, smart stop technology, vehicle stability control, brake assist, and an anti-lock brake system.
