Part of the Lexus safety features suite on new models is a set of systems that protect against distracted driving, a major scourge on the road. The standard Lexus Safety System+® includes proactive driving assistance, pre-collision braking, and lane departure alerts to keep you safe and aware. At Keyes Lexus, we’re happy to show you how all of your safety features work, including these essential systems.
Proactive Driving Assist
Most new Lexus models come with standard Proactive Driving Assist, which activates automatic braking and steering in case of emergency. It uses a radar in the front to detect if a hazard is in your path and apply the brakes if you’re about to collide. This system also provides lane centering support.
Pre-Collision System
Even if a distracted driver snaps their attention back to the road, they may be too late to avoid a collision. That’s where the standard Pre-Collision System with Pedestrian Detection comes in, alerting you when you’re poised to collide with something or someone so you can apply the brakes. In extreme cases, it will even automatically brake for you.
Lane Departure Alert
If you’re distracted behind the wheel, you may start to drift out of your lane—which could be disastrous even if you’re only a little bit over. Lane Departure Alert helps rectify that by signaling you with an audio warning if you drift out of your lane, or applying steering support to get you back on course quickly.
