Toyota has created a range of advanced safety features to keep you and your passengers safe. These systems form part of Toyota Safety Sense and use highly specialized radar, sonar, and cameras to watch for potential danger and warn you of it so you can avoid an accident. We want to tell you more about some of these Toyota safety features and how they keep you safe. Lane Departure Alert with Steering Assist This feature uses a small camera to identify the line markings and road boundaries. Once these are identified, the system works to keep you within these lines. If you stray toward the line boundaries, you'll receive visual and audio alerts to warn that you're about to leave the lane. If you don't respond, the steering wheel will gently turn you back into your lane. This feature isn't triggered if you're actively changing lanes. more Pre-Collision System with Pedestrian Detection Accidents can occur suddenly, such as when a pedestrian steps onto the road or a motorcyclist moves away from the curb. This system employs radar and a camera to monitor for potential hazards. If it detects a vehicle, pedestrian, animal, cyclist, or motorcyclist ahead, the radar assesses the distance to ensure your Toyota can respond appropriately. Your speed is compared to the distance to determine if there's a chance of an accident. If there is, you'll receive visual and audio warnings, and these warnings become more frequent if the distance continues to close. If you're unable to react to the impending collision, the system will trigger emergency braking. This brings your vehicle to an instant stop to prevent a collision. Automatic High Beams High beams are essential for safe driving at night, allowing you to see the road ahead and identify potential hazards. Their direct angle can temporarily blind drivers in front or headed in your direction, and this can cause an accident. It's active when you drive at 21 mph or more. It uses sensors to identify headlights or taillights, then switches to low beams automatically. Once the light source has left the sensor's field of vision, your lights revert to high beams. Road Sign Assist Warning signs provide crucial information such as speed changes, but it's easy to overlook a sign and fail to adjust your speed accordingly. This feature includes a dedicated camera that scans for signs, displaying any detected signs directly on your front screen, ensuring you always have the information you need at a glance.
