Understanding Toyota Safety Sense: Advanced Safety Features Explained

Understanding Toyota Safety Sense: Advanced Safety Features Explained

Pre-Collision System With Pedestrian Detection

If any vehicle in front of you, including bicycles and motorcycles, poses a collision threat, your car will detect it and respond. You’ll get a clear auditory and visual warning, and if your reactions aren’t quick enough, the automatic emergency brakes will be applied. The system can even detect and respond to pedestrians wandering into the road.

Dynamic Radar Cruise Control

When driving above 20 mph, this feature can activate, taking over control of your car. Your car will then use the gas, brakes, and steering wheel as required to maintain a preset distance from the vehicles ahead. This gives you some respite from the rigors of long-distance drives, keeping you more refreshed and alert. 

Lane Departure Alert With Steering Assist

When driving above 30 mph, your car helps to ensure you don’t mistakenly drift into a neighboring lane during a tired or distracted moment. It monitors the road markers and warns you if you start to wander. You may also be given a little help with the steering to return you safely to a centered position.

Lane Tracing Assist

Driving becomes even safer and easier with this feature, which assists with driving on the highway. It gently helps with steering and to keep you properly centered at all times.

Proactive Driving Assist

With this feature, you’re also provided help with braking on curves and corners. On top of that, your car assists with accelerating and braking to maintain safe distances from other cars. 

Road Sign Assist

Your likelihood of missing a road sign is greatly reduced with this feature, which can read and understand all important road signs. It then clearly displays speed signs, stop signs, and other signs on your instrument panel.

Automatic High Beams

Driving at night requires continual adjustments to the headlights to avoid blinding other drivers. This feature handles that hassle for you. It allows your car to detect oncoming cars and vehicles ahead and then lowers and raises the high beams as required.
