Dynamic Radar Cruise Control with Curve Speed ManagementOf course, Dynamic Radar Cruise Control is nothing new, but a new addition to this well-loved feature is its ability to maintain constant speed in corners.
Additional Lexus Safety System+ 3.0 Features
In addition to the new features mentioned above, Lexus Safety System+ 3.0 includes several other driver assistance technologies. Even before the 3.0 update, it’s clear that Lexus has been on the cutting edge of development when it comes to safety technology. All of these features work in concert to make your commute safe and stress-free.
Lane Keep AssistThis system can alert you when you begin to drift out of your lane, and it will slightly assist the steering to get you back on track.
Intelligent High BeamsThis system will automatically turn on your high beams on dark, clear roads, and automatically turn them off when the system detects the headlights or taillights of other cars.
Dynamic Radar Cruise ControlAs stated above, Dynamic Radar Cruise Control is a staple of the Lexus Safety System+. This system uses cameras and a radar system to maintain a safe following distance from traffic ahead, slowing down and speeding up as necessary based on your preset speed.
Traffic Sign RecognitionThis system utilizes a built-in camera to read road signs and display the information on the instrument panel or on a heads-up display.
