While power, fuel-efficiency, and style are all important when choosing a vehicle, there is nothing as important as the safety features. Toyota vehicles are known for not only their reliability, but also their safety. Let’s check out the top 5 Toyota safety features:
Toyota Pre-Collision System
The Toyota Pre-Collision System uses a forward-facing radar and camera that scans the road ahead. This smart system can help you avoid a potential collision. When a potential collision is detected, audible and visual warnings go off to notify you; the brake assistance is also instantly activated. If you do not apply the brakes, and the system determines the collision is unavoidable, the brakes are automatically applied for you and the vehicle is stopped. This is truly an incredible feature!
Toyota Lane Departure Alert
Lane Departure Alert is another safety feature in place to protect you and your passengers. A special camera takes note of the painted lane markings on the road and the system will alert you if you drift out of your lane with audible beeps – thus preventing a potential accident.
Toyota Automatic High Beam
Another handy safety feature is Toyota’s Automatic High Beam system. This system uses a camera to detect the headlights of oncoming cars and then uses this information to switch back and forth between high and low beam headlights for you.
Toyota Pedestrian Detection
Millimeter-wave radar and a specialized camera that detects shapes are combined to create the Pedestrian Detection feature. That’s right – this system recognizes pedestrians and will activate brake assistance to avoid a collision with a pedestrian. This is an excellent feature – especially when driving through neighborhoods or other populated areas.
Toyota Dynamic Radar Cruise Control
Dynamic Radar Cruise Control is another safety feature offered by Toyota. This system works like conventional cruise control, but even better. Using radar technology and a camera, the system can detect the speed and distance of the vehicle ahead of yours and adjust your speed accordingly. In traffic, this system can maintain a preset following distance that will accelerate back to your original cruising speed when the road clears.
All of these safety features are what makes Toyota great. If you are looking for a vehicle that is stylish and safe, then come visit Limbaugh Toyota and see our selection of vehicles with these safety features.
