How do Advanced Toyota Safety Features Work?
Like we said, Toyota's safety features are some of the best in existence and include many systems, safeguards to keep you protected when you're on the road. They're equipped on just about every Clermont Toyota car on our lot, but how do they work? Let's break them down and explain how each works:
Dynamic Radar Cruise Control
One of the most underrated feature your ride is equipped with is cruise control. While it's great for cruising an uncrowded highway or county road, it can be quite a bane when traffic starts to pile up. The solution? Toyota safety feature dynamic radar cruise control. The system uses a camera and sensor in the front bumper to maintain a safe distance, automatically, between your car and the one in front of you. Depending on how quickly traffic is flowing your vehicle can also automatically adjust its speed.
Pre-Collision System w/ Pedestrian Detection
Impacts from collisions are some of the most common forms of vehicle accidents. To help mitigate the damage from an impact, the Clermont Toyota safety feature pre-collision system with pedestrian detection is there. This system works by using several cameras and sensors on the front and sides of your vehicle and then provides the driver with haptic feedback and visual warnings to help avoid a collision. If the response from the driver is too slow your Clermont Toyota safety feature could use self-correction measures.
Lane Departure Alert w/ Steering Assist
For this Clermont Toyota safety feature, cameras on the side of your vehicle analyze and sense the yellow and/or white lane indicators. If you begin to drift while driving, your vehicle will warn you or make small driving corrections to center you back in the lane.
Automatic High Beams
If you're driving in a low visibility area your high beam lights can be extremely helpful for enhanced vision. However, if they're not deactivated quickly enough they could do harm to another driver's vision. Automatic high beams will activate automatically in a low visibility area and turn off when another vehicle is sensed on the road in front of you.
Road Sign Assist
Using cameras along the side and front of your Clermont Toyota car, road sign assist Toyota safety feature will display upcoming road signs right on your instrument cluster (speedometer). This helps keep your eyes on the road while also being more aware of signs in your view.
