The reassurance of Pre–collision safety

For added peace of mind on GS 300 Sports Luxury, the Lexus Pre–Collision safety System (PCS) can help reduce collision injury and damage. A radar sensor in the front grille constantly scans for objects in front of the car. If the system determines that a collision is unavoidable, a warning message appears on the Multi Information Display and an alarm sounds. If the driver doesn’t operate the brake, the system will retract the front seatbelts and signals the Brake Assist system to increase braking force and hence help reduce collision speed. At the same time, Adaptive Variable Suspension (AVS) control is activated, optimising shock absorber damping force and suppressing nose dive.

Relax as Active Cruise Control watches ahead**

For more relaxed highway cruising, Active Cruise Control (ACC)** (on the Sports Luxury) monitors the road to maintain a set distance from the vehicle ahead. The radar sensor in the GS 300 Sports Luxury front grille works as part of the Active Cruise Control (ACC). You can simply set your preferred highway speed via touch controls on the steering wheel, or you can set your desired following distance from the vehicle in front. Then, should the radar detect that distance is closing or detect another vehicle in your path, Active Cruise Control reduces your speed and even applies the brakes if necessary. Your nominated speed is resumed once a safe following distance can be maintained.

Adaptive Front Lighting looks around corners

To give you greater night vision, GS 300 has halogen–type high–beam headlamps and self–levelling projector–type High Intensity Discharge (HID) low–beam headlamps. On twisty roads, the Adaptive Front–lighting System (AFS) redirects the low–beam lamps, so you can literally see around corners.

Feel at ease with 10 SRS airbags

In the event of a collision, Lexus GS 300 has a comprehensive package of ten SRS airbags. It has dual–stage driver and front–passenger airbags, large–size driver and front passenger side SRS airbags, SRS knee airbags to help protect the lower limbs of the driver and front seat passenger, SRS rear side airbags help protect the rear outer passengers, and full–length side curtain–shield airbags.

Responsive LED tail lights

The rear tail lights incorporate LED lamps that illuminate light up faster than conventional incandescent lamps. So when you apply the brakes, following traffic is alerted sooner.

*PCS is a driver assist technology and should not be used in place of safe driving practices. The driver should continue to monitor the road ahead. The pre-collision system will not avoid a collision, but may reduce injury to passengers. The pre-collision brake will not stop the vehicle alone, but will attempt to slow the vehicle to reduce the severity of impact.

**ACC is a driver assist technology and should not be used in place of safe driving practices. Driver should continue to monitor the road ahead.
