Toyota Safety Sense represents the pinnacle of automotive safety technology, and it comes standard on all new “250” series grades, enhancing the safety of vehicles like the Toyota Prado. This advanced active safety package boasts a suite of improved functions designed to significantly expand the range of accident detection. For Prado owners and enthusiasts, this means enjoying every journey with an unparalleled sense of security and peace of mind.
One of the standout features is the Pre-collision Safety System. This system is engineered to be more vigilant than ever, broadening its detection capabilities to include motorcyclists (during daytime), in addition to vehicles, pedestrians, and cyclists. By identifying a wider array of potential hazards, the system provides crucial assistance in mitigating collisions or minimizing damage. Furthermore, recognizing the increased risk at intersections, Toyota has enhanced this system to provide additional support in these complex scenarios, making your Prado driving experience safer in urban environments and beyond.
Another key component of Toyota Safety Sense in the Prado is Proactive Driving Assist. This system acts as a subtle co-pilot, offering intelligent support during everyday driving situations on ordinary roads. It proactively anticipates potential risks, such as pedestrians crossing or parked vehicles that might suddenly move. By providing avoidance steering assistance and deceleration support, Proactive Driving Assist helps drivers maintain a safe distance from pedestrians, cyclists, and parked vehicles. This feature is particularly beneficial in busy areas, contributing to a smoother, safer, and more confident Prado driving experience.
Stepping into the realm of advanced driving support, the Toyota Prado “250” series is equipped with Toyota Teammate, featuring Advanced Drive (support during traffic congestion). Operating under specific conditions on motor-vehicle-only roadways during traffic jams (0-40 km/h), this system intelligently manages detection, judgment, and operation. When Radar Cruise Control and Lane Tracing Assist are activated, Advanced Drive steps in to alleviate driver fatigue in stop-and-go traffic. This allows Prado drivers to remain more attentive to their surroundings, ultimately promoting safer driving even in the most stressful traffic conditions.
Beyond these sophisticated systems, the Toyota Prado also incorporates other essential safety and security equipment, including integrated front and rear dash cams. Utilizing the Toyota Safety Sense’s monocular camera and a newly added rear-facing camera, these dash cams record video footage of your journeys directly to built-in memory. This valuable feature provides an objective record of driving events, which can be easily reviewed on the Display Audio system or transferred to a smartphone or USB device for convenient portability. This added layer of security and accountability further enhances the Prado’s commitment to driver and passenger safety.
In conclusion, Toyota Safety Sense significantly elevates the safety profile of the Toyota Prado. From advanced pre-collision detection to proactive driving assistance and traffic jam support, these features work in harmony to provide a safer and more reassuring driving experience for Prado owners. Embrace the road ahead with confidence, knowing your Toyota Prado is equipped with cutting-edge safety technology designed to protect you and your loved ones.
