SYNERGISTIC
ACTIVE SAFETY
Three advanced active safety systems interact synergistically to help provide
outstanding vehicle control and stability. Active Traction Control (A-TRC)
helps ensure traction when roadways are slick, while Vehicle Stability Control
(VSC) and an Anti-lock Brake System (ABS) help ensure excellent cornering and
braking performance.
ACTIVE TRACTION CONTROL (A-TRC) SYSTEM
A-TRC interacts with the other active safety systems, and when it senses that a
loss of traction can potentially occur, it controls engine output and braking
at each wheel to produce a powerful limited slip differential effect that
redistributes drive force to help ensure stability.
ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM (ABS)
During emergency braking or when applying the brakes on slippery road surfaces, the ABS
uses a computer to regulate the hydraulic brake force applied to each wheel,
helping to prevent wheel lock-up while helping to ensure vehicle stability and
steering control. In addition, Electronic Brake force Distribution (EBD)
provides front/rear brake-force distribution that allows effective use of
rear-wheel braking and reduces the need for strong brake pedal force when
carrying heavy loads. (ABS optional on VX and GX, ABS with VSC and EBD optional
on VX with 2UZ-FE engine). |

VEHICLE
STABILITY CONTROL (VSC) SYSTEM
Using information gathered from sensors located at various points on the
vehicle, the VSC system detects situations in which pronounced oversteering or
understeering may cause the vehicle to skid, and regulates engine output and
brake-force distribution to help ensure stability.
Excellent Visibility
Roof pillars and other structural elements are positioned so that they
interface as little as possible with the driver's field of view. Blind spots
are minimised as a result, affording the driver a clear view in almost all
directions. |
| |
 |
Front-seat
dual SRS (Supplemental Restraint System) airbags supplement the restraining
action of seatbelts to provide further protection in the event of a front-end
collision. |
| |
 |
The
body is constructed based on the results of actual off-set, frontal, and side
crash testing. It comprises a high-integrity cabin, with a front/rear crumple
zone that helps absorb impact energy in a collision. The design meets some of
the most stringent safety standards in the world, making it one of the most
effective passive safety bodies in its class. |

High-Mount
Stop Lamp.
Multi-Reflector Halogen Headlamps (Optional on VX).
Wide-View Door Mirrors. |
| |
 |
The
centre seat of the 60:40 split seat features 3-point ELR seatbelts. All seats
have headrests for excellent comfort and safety. |
| |
 |
The
front-seat ELR seatbelts feature pretensioners that instantly tighten in the
event of frontal impact and force limiters that help control the amount of
force applied to the upper body. |

Head
Impact Protection
Energy-absorbing materials in the pillars and roof side rails provide impact
protection to help absorb impact of upper body in the event of a collision. |
