What is Toyota Safety Sense?

Car accidents are no fun. Fortunately, your new Toyota comes with Toyota Safety Sense, which should help keep you safe on our North Hollywood roads. What is Toyota Safety Sense? We’ll explain that below and talk about another suite of features called Toyota Safety Sense P.

What is Toyota Safety Sense, Exactly?

Toyota Safety Sense is an extensive suite of cutting-edge safety features that have been designed to help make your Van Nuys commute safer. Here’s a list of those features:

• Automatic High Beams – Your high beams know when to turn themselves on, thanks to a windshield-mounted camera that detects headlights and taillights of other vehicles.
• Pre-Collision System with Pedestrian Detection (also available with Bicyclist Detection) – You’ll have more time to respond and avoid a collision with pedestrians and other vehicles, thanks to an integrated camera and radar system that monitors surrounding traffic.
• Dynamic Radar Cruise Control (also available with Full-Speed Range Dynamic Radar Cruise Control) – Your cruise control can automatically adjust the car’s speed, thanks to a windshield mounted camera and a radar located behind the Toyota badge that detects your following distance.
• Lane Departure Alert (also available with Steering Assist and Road Edge Detection) – This system sends an alert if you veer from your lane without signaling a lane change.
• Lane Tracing Assist – Staying in the center of your lane is a lot easier, as this feature works with the Full-Speed Range Dynamic Radar Cruise Control (DRCC) to detect lane markers.
• Road Sign Assist – This feature uses a forward-facing intelligent camera to detect signs (speed limit, stop, do not enter, yield, and more) and displays them on the MID.
