The Toyota Safety Sense-P package is loaded with safety features to help improve the driving experience for all. Here’s a small guide to this innovative technology group.

Pre-Collision System

The Pre-Collision system uses specialized radar detectors to respond to sudden slowdowns or obstacles in front of your car. It alerts the driver to these potential issues and, in the case of an emergency, can apply the brakes automatically. It can also detect moving pedestrians. This system is super handy in city driving situations where obstacles can appear without warning.

Lane Departure Alert

Using an alert system, Lane Departure Alert lets the driver know if they begin crossing into another lane when their turn signal isn’t activated. This helps encourage mindful driving and can prevent accidental drifting. This system can be disabled if desired with a simple button push.

Automatic High Beams

This system uses a camera to track head or tail lights of other vehicles on the road at night to toggle between high and regular beam headlights. Automatic high beams will kick on if there are no other cars in the area that could be affected by it, providing extra visibility.

Dynamic Radar Cruise Control

Dynamic radar cruise control is one of the most popular active safety features available. It uses radars to measure the distance between your vehicle and the one before it to adjust the set cruise control speed and keep your vehicle a safe distance away. This improves the safety of using the cruise control system on long drives.

These four systems are the key features of Toyota’s Safety Sense-P package.
