The reassurance of Lexus Pre-collision safety

For added peace of mind, 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 signal 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)** monitors the road ahead of you. In addition to its roe in the PCS, the radar sensor in the front grille also 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 decelerates the vehicle 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 460 has halogen high- beam headlamps and projector- type High Intensity Discharge (HID) low beams. On winding roads, the Adaptive Front- lighting System (AFS) redirects the low- beam headlamps, so you can literally see around corners.

Feel at ease with dual front & knee airbags

For peace of mind, there are front and side- mounted airbags for both driver and front passenger. The front airbags have two- stage operation. There are also knee airbags for driver and front passenger to help protect the lower limbs.

Full-length curtain shield airbags

To help reduce the impact of severe side- impact accidents, full- length curtain airbags stretching from front to rear deploy to cover the side windows. Together with the front side and the rear side airbags, GS 460 has a total of ten SRS airbags.

Responsive LED tail lights

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

* CS 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. The driver should continue to monitor the road ahead.
