Safety System+ 2.5
The number of devices and scope of assistance for these Lexus models is as thorough as it is advanced. In addition to 10 airbags, the standards list starts with a pre-collision system that seeks to warn about forward collision dangers. Along with pedestrian and cyclist detection, it can trigger an emergency autobrake.
This system has been enhanced for low-light conditions when spotting pedestrians. It can recognize left-turn intersection dangers as well. Strengthening its automatic reflexes, it may provide steering assistance.
The lane departure alert includes a steering assist. A blind spot monitor is another tool to help drivers avoid side crash scenarios. Road sign information is displayed in the instrument panel and available head up display.
All-speed Dynamic Radar Cruise Control works with Lane Tracing Assist to help maintain the lane during cruise control driving. The available rear autobrake can respond to the rear traffic cross traffic alert and parking sensors. Rear pedestrian detection is part of advanced intuitive parking assist.
