Modern Toyotas are jam-packed with excellent car safety features. The Toyota Safety Sense package is standard with every Toyota vehicle and includes the following six features. If you’d like to see these features working first-hand, you can always ask for a demo at your local Toyota dealership.
Dynamic Radar Cruise Control
While on the road, keeping a suitable distance from the vehicle ahead has never been easier. Using a windshield camera and radar hidden behind the Toyota badge on the nose of your hood, your Toyota constantly measures the distance between you and other vehicles. While cruising, it can even adjust the speed for you to keep you safely apart should the car ahead stop unexpectedly.
Proactive Drive Assist
The automatic gentle braking that keeps you at a safe distance from the car ahead is part of the Proactive Drive Assist feature. This feature also keeps you safe on curves of the road, providing your brakes with just enough pressure to take the curves at optimal speed.
Pre-Collision System
With constant computerized vigilance, your car will often detect a risk of collision long before you do. This includes any cyclists or pedestrians who wander into your path.
In such an event, you’ll be given a clear visual and audible warning. Should you fail to react in time, your vehicle’s automatic braking will take over, promptly slowing and stopping your car as rapidly as needed.
Lane Tracing Assist
Long drives on the highway can become tiring, and the attention of even the best drivers can occasionally wander. In these moments, you risk drifting to the edge of your lane or even into the next one.
With a modern Toyota, this risk is greatly mitigated. Lane Tracing Assist reads the lane markers and knows when you’re wandering. It will alert you and can even gently steer you back onto the center of the lane.
Automatic High Beams
When driving at night, there’s always a danger of blinding another driver if you forget to dim your headlights. A blinded driver poses a threat to themselves and also to you. But with Automatic High Beams, your car notices oncoming cars and toggles between low and high beams automatically.
Road Sign Assist
Toyota’s intelligent cameras can even read road signs. This feature helps ensure that you never miss a road sign again. It reads stop signs, Do Not Enter signs, yield signs, and speed limit signs, and displays them clearly on your dashboard.
Ask for More at Your Local Toyota Dealer
There are many more features as standard, including all kinds of airbags, braking assist mechanisms, and structural features to protect you from harm in the event of a collision. For details on these and additional optional features, you can always ask at your local dealership.
