| The Corolla approach to safety
defines global standards, with comprehensive active and passive safety measures contributing to customer's peace of mind. |
| |
| This
reveals the benefits of our global implementation of Toyota safety measures that integrate advanced active and passive
safety technologies. Active safety measures include the excellent visibility afforded by the new design. ABS (Anti-lock Brake System)
with EBD (Electronic Brake force Distribution), and a Brake Assist system. Passive safety measures begin with a crash safety body that
provides the Corolla with the highest level of body safety in its class. Primary occupant restraint is provided by 3-point ELR seatbelts on
the outboard rear seat, and a 2-point seatbelt on the centre rear seat. The front seatbelts are fitted with
*pretensioners and force limiters. The front Seats are also equipped with
*SRS (Supplementary Restraint System) airbags |
| |
 |
| The crash safety body is comprised of a high integrity
cabin, with front and rear crumple zones that help absorb impact energy in a collision. The high integrity cabin structure dissipates impact energy into the
entire body. The structure supporting the brake pedal is designed to reduce the amount the brake pedal retracts in a frontal collision, helping to reduce injury to the driver. |
| |
 |
SRS airbags are activated by a strong frontal
impact in a collision. Together with the restraining effect of the seatbelts, they help to reduce serious injury to driver and front passenger's head and
upper torso. |

 |
The high-mount stop lamp gives
drivers behind a clear view of when you brake, which can help prevent accidents. |

Side impact test at 55km/h.
Extensive
computer analysis helped to determine the final body structure. |
| |
 |
The extensive use of high tensil steel sheeting
contributes to the Corolla light weight without detracting from the passive safety integrity of the body. |
| |
 |
The extensive use of galvaneal steel sheeting
protects the Corolla from rust, helping it to keep its good looks for many years. |
| |
 |
An energy-absorbing plate in the steering column
helps absorb energy by deforming under the energy of a secondary impact. |
| |
 |
Energy-absorbing materials in the pillars and
roof-side rails create a head impact protection structure that helps to reduce the risk of injury to occupants' heads in a collision. |
| |
 |
The WIL (Whiplash Injury Lessening) concept used in the
front seats, helps to reduce injury to the vertebra in the neck in a rear-end collision. |
| |
| *Pretentioners and force
limiters are only fitted in combination with the SRS airbags.
|
 |
On the front seatbelts, when
sensors detect a strong impact in a frontal collision, pretentioners rewind the seatbelts instantly to help assist occupant restraint. In
addition, force limiters help to relieve the force on the upper torso by releasing part of the force when loads surpass a specific level. |
| *For the SRS airbags to work effectively, seatbelts must be worn correctly at all times. Child seats should be used in the rear seats.
For details on these and other important safety features, be sure to read the Owner's Manual carefully.
