Safety is a significant consideration for most people when buying a car from their Toyota dealer in Rockville, MD. Thankfully, the new Toyota models come packed with advanced safety features that will help keep you and your family safe on the road. This blog post will discuss six of our best car safety features, so if you're in the market for a new car, be sure to check out our list!
Pre-Collision System With Pedestrian Detection
The pre-collision system uses a combination of sensors and cameras to detect cars or pedestrians in the road ahead of you. If a vehicle or a pedestrian is detected, the pre-collision feature will warn you and prepare to brake automatically if necessary. The system will warn you of potential impact using a combination of visual and audio alerts.
Automatic High Beams
The automatic high beams system uses a sensor to detect when other vehicles are approaching and will automatically switch from low to high beams when it's safe to do so. Automatic high beams can help you see better in dark or foggy conditions, and it also helps to reduce glare for other drivers.
Lane Departure Alert With Steering Assist
The Lane Departure Alert with Steering Assist is another excellent safety feature to help you stay safe on the road. This system uses a camera to detect when you're about to depart from your lane. If it detects a vehicle, it will sound an alarm and give you a visual alert.
Dynamic Radar Cruise Control
Toyota's advanced cruise control uses a sensor and a camera on the windshield to detect vehicles in front of you and will adjust your speed to maintain a safe following distance. This system is especially helpful for long highway drives where you might otherwise have trouble staying alert and engaged with the road.
Lane Departure Alert With Steering Assist
The Toyota Lane Departure Alert with Steering Assist system uses a camera to detect lane markings and alert you if your vehicle begins drifting outside of your lane. In addition, this system can apply corrective steering as needed to bring the car back into its proper lane position again automatically!
Blind Spot Monitor With Rear Cross-Traffic Alert
The blind-spot monitoring feature uses radar to monitor and detect vehicles in your blind spot and will warn you if a car is close to you by illuminating the side mirror. If you try to change lanes while the blind spot monitor is on, the side mirror will flash and alert you. In addition, the rear cross-traffic alert system can help avoid collisions by warning you of oncoming traffic when backing out of a parking space.
These are just a few of the many great safety features available on the new Toyota models.
