What is Lexus Safety System+?

Lexus has always been a trendsetter when it comes to safety. The Japanese luxury automaker has been at the forefront of developing high-end safety technologies to protect occupants, and also to prevent accidents. 


Lexus’ research and development team worked very hard over the years to develop the most advanced active safety technologies you can find on modern vehicles, and it shows when you look at the Lexus Safety System+. 


Lexus Safety System + Highlights


The Lexus Safety System+ includes four standout technologies that we will explore a little more closely. 


Automatic High Beam


Automatic High Beam is a system that automates your high and low beam headlights based on traffic. Designed to make your life easier while always ensuring optimal visibility, AHB will automatically switch the high beams to the low beams if an oncoming vehicle is detected. In other words, you always see what’s ahead of you without blinding other vehicles. 


Lane Departure Alert


LDA does what its name implies. It serves to warn the driver should the vehicle swerve outside of the lane because of a distraction. The idea is to prevent these distractions from leading to a collision or a loss of control. 


Pre-Collision System


Pre-Collision system will warn you of a potential danger like a vehicle suddenly braking ahead of you or if you’re coming up to another vehicle too quickly. The idea here is that by warning the driver, he or she will have time to react. If that’s not the case, the system can also apply the brakes for you. 


Dynamic Radar Cruise Control


DRCC uses a wide range of sensors and radars to maintain a safe distance between you and the vehicle ahead of you when cruise control is activated. The system will keep the set distance by applying the brakes and/or adjusting the throttle. It makes life easier and your commute safer on the highway.


This is the base starting point of what Lexus vehicles offer in terms of safety. There are multiple other technologies offered as well. Give us a call today to learn more!
