When you own a luxurious, prestigious vehicle like a Lexus, you can expect ample safety features. But no matter how attentively you drive, you can’t guarantee that nothing will take you by surprise. You can have peace of mind with a new Lexus car, however, with features included in the pioneering Lexus Safety System+ to give you a helping pair of hands and eyes behind the wheel. Here are five safety features to ask your Lexus dealer about.
1. Pre-Collision System
The cutting-edge safety system includes a pre-collision system that can detect pedestrians. If it sees a collision coming, it will automatically brake assist to make the brakes more effective and can sometimes even stop the vehicle by itself. Some Lexus models also have enhanced camera and radar sensors to allow them to better detect pedestrians and cyclists in low light and will automatically brake if you turn left into oncoming traffic.
2. Intelligent High Beams
Every driver knows how difficult it can be to remember to dim your brights to avoid dazzling oncoming traffic. But Lexus headlights will switch to low beams automatically when they detect the headlight or taillights of other vehicles, and will adjust to provide the best illumination according to the available lighting. Whatever the conditions, you can rest safe in the knowledge that your Lexus is providing the best visibility for you and other drivers.
3. High-Speed Dynamic Radar Cruise Control
Radar and camera technology on selected vehicles allows your Lexus to detect and maintain the correct following speed and distance according to the position of the vehicle in front. If you get too close, it will automatically reduce the speed and maybe even apply the brake. You’ll return to your preset speed as soon as the road in front of you is clear.
4. Visibility Systems
There are a number of systems available to give you greater awareness of what is going on in the vicinity of your vehicle. Backup cameras have dynamic grid lines to help you maneuver, while the panoramic view monitor uses four high-res cameras to give you a birds-eye view of your car. Meanwhile, the multi-terrain camera can give you a view of whatever is underneath the vehicle.
5. Lane Assistance
The Safety System+ offers a variety of lane-keeping technology. The lane departure alert gives an auditory warning if your car drifts out of its lane, and the additional steering assist function can correct the steering wheel to avoid it. Lane tracing assist keeps the vehicle centered in the lane regardless of conditions, while lane keeping technology interfaces with the cruise control to avoid drift in the first place.
