Keeping Everyone on the Road Safe

Advancing technology affects all aspects of a vehicle, the engineering, convenience, and most importantly the safety measures used. While airbags and seatbelts do their part, it’s never a bad thing to have plenty of extra measures in place. To keep everyone on the road safe and sound whenever you and anyone else gets behind the wheel of their Clermont Toyota vehicle, these Toyota safety technology systems go to work:

The Star Safety System

Standard on all new Toyota vehicles, the Star Safety System using practical and adaptive engineering technology to help the driver maintain control of their vehicle and avoid collisions. The five systems used in this safety suite are:

1)     Traction Control (TRAC): The traction control system helps to reduce slippage during sudden accelerations and stops in your Clermont Toyota vehicle.

2)     Anti-Lock Brakes (ABS): This Toyota safety technology prevents brakes from locking and slipping during sudden stops. This helps curbs slipping that can lead to collisions.

3)     Vehicle Stability Control (VSC): When cornering can become a bit tight or unsafe, the VSC system works to provide steering assistance in the event of sideways slipping when turning corners.

4)     Brake Assist: When braking, applying excess force is sometimes necessary to avoid an accident. Brake Assist helps by applying additional force in the event that the driver is unable to.

5)     Electronic Brake Distribution: Working in conjunction with the ABS, this provides an even amount of brake force to stop your Clermont Toyota vehicle from skidding.

Toyota Safety Sense

Perhaps the most advanced Toyota safety technology available, Toyota Safety Sense uses a variety of cameras, radars, and sensors to actively monitor the driving environment around your Clermont Toyota vehicle and help the driver to react. Here are the features at play:

·       Lane Departure Alert: By using a windshield sensor, this system alerts other drivers when they begin to leave their current lane.

·       Pre-Collision System with Pedestrian Detection: This Clermont Toyota safety technology detects pedestrians and other vehicles in the direct path of your car to assist the driver in stopping if a collision is eminent.

·       Automatic High Beams: At night, when another vehicle is detected, this system toggles your high beams automatically.
