The Toyota Land Cruiser Prado boasts a comprehensive suite of advanced safety features, headlined by Toyota Safety Sense. This integrated system utilizes cutting-edge technology to mitigate potential hazards and enhance driver confidence.
Toyota Safety Sense in the Land Cruiser Prado
Toyota Safety Sense, standard across all new “250” series grades, significantly expands the range of detectable accidents. This allows for a more enjoyable and secure driving experience. Key features include:
Pre-collision Safety System
This system detects vehicles, pedestrians, cyclists, and even motorcyclists (daytime), helping to prevent collisions or minimize their severity. Its enhanced capabilities provide crucial support at intersections, known high-risk areas for accidents.
Proactive Driving Assist
Proactive Driving Assist subtly aids drivers in various situations, including ordinary roads. By anticipating potential risks, such as pedestrians crossing or vehicles suddenly starting, the system assists with avoidance steering and deceleration to maintain a safe distance from pedestrians, cyclists, and parked vehicles.
Toyota Teammate: Advanced Driving Support
The Land Cruiser Prado “250” series incorporates Advanced Drive within Toyota Teammate. This suite of advanced driving support technologies includes features like support during traffic congestion. Under specific conditions (driver facing forward, motor-vehicle-only roadways, Radar Cruise Control and Lane Tracing Assist activated), Advanced Drive operates at speeds between 0-40 km/h. By assisting with detection, judgment, and operation, it helps reduce driver fatigue in congested traffic, allowing for increased awareness of surroundings and safer driving.
Enhanced Safety and Security Equipment
Integrated Dash Cams
The Land Cruiser Prado is equipped with front and rear dash cams. These cameras record video data to built-in memory, capturing events from both Toyota Safety Sense’s monocular camera and a newly added rear-facing camera. This footage can be reviewed on the Display Audio system or conveniently transferred to a smartphone or USB device.
Conclusion: Prioritizing Safety in the Land Cruiser Prado
The Toyota Land Cruiser Prado prioritizes safety with its comprehensive suite of advanced features, including Toyota Safety Sense and Toyota Teammate. These systems work in concert to provide a more secure and enjoyable driving experience, mitigating potential risks and enhancing driver confidence on and off the road. From pre-collision systems to advanced driving assistance, the Land Cruiser Prado demonstrates Toyota’s commitment to safety innovation.
