From intuitive high beams with amplified illumination for increased focus to advanced lane assistance technology, our safety system brings Lexus drivers closer to an accident-free existence. B VEHICLE DYNAMICS INTEGRATED MANAGEMENT (VDIM) VDIM prevents skids by predicting them before they occur through a combination of individual-wheel braking, torque modulation and steering torque assistance. A D C PRE-CRASH SYSTEM The pre-crash system detects imminent obstacles which reduces the likelihood and severity of collisions. Pedestrian Detection automatically reacts before you can by utilising Lexus Brake Assist. The emergency brake signal acts to prevent rear-end collisions. D BLIND SPOT MONITOR WITH REAR CROSS TRAFFIC ALERT Rear Cross Traffic Alert is a feature that combines with Lexus radar apparatus to detect the presence of vehicles in adjacent lanes that are not visible in the side B E mirrors. A warning alert is emitted if another vehicle enters the driver’s blind spot. E ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL Through the use of a camera and a millimetre wave radar sensor, the system works to maintain an appropriate distance between your Lexus and the car in front of you, halting when needed and moving forward when it is safe to do so. F LANE DEPARTURE ALERT Lane Departure Alert with Lane Keep Assist and Steering Control utilises a camera to monitor your position within your lane, warning you if you drift beyond the lane’s C F limits. Additionally, Automatic High Beam switches to low beam when the lights of another vehicle are detected. Images shown for illustrative purposes.
