Not only do new Lexus vehicles offer exceptional comfort, control, and driving performance, but they are also extremely safe. The available Lexus Safety System+ 3.0 suite of driver-assist features has many commendable and cutting-edge technologies that it utilizes. Let’s take a look at some of the finest Lexus driver-assistance features you’ll find on modern Lexus vehicles that make Lexus cars special.
Get to Know Driver-Assistance Features for Lexus Vehicles
Dynamic Radar Cruise Control
This feature allows you to determine a preset distance from vehicles ahead and then take your hands from the wheel while your car maintains the appropriate distance. Depending on your Lexus model, you can opt for either High-Speed or All-Speed Dynamic Radar Cruise Control, the latter of which can handle very slow speeds. With this feature, your car can even stop entirely before starting up again in congested stop-and-go urban traffic.
Pre-Collision System
The advanced Pre-Collision System with Pedestrian Detection can immediately detect any potential frontal collision and react to help avoid it. When an obstacle is detected, your vehicle will warn you of the threat while applying Brake Assist to help you respond promptly.
If required, your car can apply emergency braking to help keep you and others safe. Certain models offer an enhanced version of this feature, which can more precisely detect preceding cyclists and pedestrians even in low-light conditions.
Lane Assistance
A variety of Lexus Lane Assistance features help to ensure that you don’t run into trouble by accidentally wandering out of your lane. Your car can trace the lanes at all times, helping you automatically keep centered and safe.
If you start to drift towards a neighboring lane, your car will detect it and warn you while applying a little gentle steering torque to help you get back into your lane. This feature works even when driving on a gradually curving highway.
Road Sign Assist
To help ensure you don’t miss any important road signs, this feature allows your car to read and display all essential road signs on your dashboard. In certain models, you can see the road signs on your Head-Up Display above the steering wheel, meaning you don’t even need to take your eyes off the road to read them.
Intelligent High Beams
While driving at night or in foggy conditions, forgetting to switch off your high-beam headlights puts you at risk of affecting the vision of other drivers. Intelligent High Beams take away this risk by helping to detect on-coming vehicles and temporarily switching off the high beams for you.
