The new Land Cruiser is setting a new benchmark in vehicle safety, equipped standard with the latest Toyota Safety Sense active safety package across all “250” series grades. This advanced system boasts enhanced and improved functionalities, significantly expanding the range of accident detection to ensure a more secure and enjoyable driving experience. Toyota’s commitment to safety is evident in these cutting-edge features designed to provide drivers with greater peace of mind on every journey.
Enhanced Pre-Collision System
The Pre-collision System in the new Land Cruiser has been significantly upgraded. Expanding its detection capabilities, it now includes motorcyclists (during daytime) in addition to vehicles, pedestrians, and cyclists. This comprehensive detection range helps drivers to avoid potential collisions or mitigate damage in a wider array of scenarios. Furthermore, recognizing the increased risk of accidents at intersections, the system provides additional support in these critical areas, actively working to prevent accidents before they occur.
Proactive Driving Assist: Intelligent Support for Everyday Driving
Toyota has integrated Proactive Driving Assist into the new Land Cruiser to provide subtle yet effective support during everyday driving situations. This system is particularly beneficial on ordinary roads, offering intelligent assistance to drivers. It proactively anticipates potential hazards, such as pedestrians crossing or parked vehicles that may suddenly move, and provides support for avoidance steering and deceleration. By anticipating risks based on the real-time driving environment, Proactive Driving Assist helps drivers maintain a safe distance from pedestrians, cyclists, and parked vehicles, contributing to a smoother and safer driving experience in various urban and suburban settings.
Toyota Teammate: Advanced Drive for Traffic Congestion
To further enhance driver convenience and safety, the “250” series Land Cruiser incorporates Toyota Teammate, featuring Advanced Drive (support during traffic congestion). This advanced driving support technology is designed to alleviate driver fatigue during frustrating stop-and-go traffic. Operating under specific conditions – such as the driver facing forward, on motor-vehicle-only roadways, and with Radar Cruise Control and Lane Tracing Assist activated in traffic congestion (0-40 km/h) – Advanced Drive takes over detection, judgment, and operation tasks. This allows the driver to relax and pay closer attention to their surroundings, contributing to safer and less stressful driving in congested conditions.
Additional Security and Safety Features: Integrated Dash Cams
Beyond the advanced Toyota Safety Sense and Teammate features, the new Land Cruiser is also equipped with integrated front and rear dash cams. Utilizing the Toyota Safety Sense’s monocular camera and a newly added rear-facing camera, the system continuously records video while driving directly to built-in memory. This valuable video data can be easily reviewed on the Display Audio system or transferred to a smartphone or USB drive, offering enhanced security and providing crucial evidence in the event of an incident. This integrated dash cam system adds another layer of safety and security to the new Land Cruiser, ensuring drivers are well-protected and prepared for any situation on the road.
