Get a Sense of the new Toyota Safety Sense System

Safety features may not be the first thing you consider when looking at purchasing a new truck like the Toyota Tundra. You’re most likely going to look at the truck’s powertrain, cabin/bed options, and towing capacity. While these are all critical elements of your next truck, it’s also worth taking a look at how a truck handles your safety.

Luckily, the Toyota Tundra comes loaded with an entire suite of driver-assist safety features known as the Toyota Safety Sense system. Other trucks may have comparable features, but they often make you pay extra or upgrade. The Toyota Tundra, however, knows that safety is important and understands it might be a second thought for those looking for a muscular truck. That’s why they decided to load this pickup with the latest and greatest.

Here’s what’s included in the all-new Toyota Safety Sense System:

Pre-Collision with Pedestrian Detection

Your integrated camera works alongside a unique radar that keeps an eye on the road ahead. If it senses another object, car, or pedestrian, it provides an alert to ensure you can avoid a collision.

Dynamic Radar Cruise Control

Using cruise control in the past meant having to constantly change your speed or hitting the brakes due to traffic around you. With Toyota’s updated cruise control, your system makes adjustments automatically. Thanks to an upgraded radar and camera system upfront, your Tundra helps you keep a preset distance from the vehicle in front of you.

Lane Departure Alert

The camera built into your windshield keeps track of your driving so that it can alert you if you start to drift. Instead of having to make a last-minute correction when you’re distracted or tired, this system draws your attention back to where it belongs.

Automatic High Beams

When you’re driving at night, the last thing you want to worry about is switching your high beams on and off. With Toyota’s automatic high beam feature, your lights toggle between high and low as needed, especially when oncoming headlights are detected.

Lane Tracing Assist

When you’ve engaged your dynamic radar cruise control system, and you’re driving on a road with clear lane markers, Toyota’s lane tracing assist feature kicks into action. This system actually reads the lane lines to ensure you stay centered in your lane.

Road Sign Assist

One of the most innovative features in the Toyota Safety Sense System is the all-new road sign assist feature. This system uses a forward-facing intelligent camera to detect and read speed limit signs, stop signs, yield signs, and more. The information it reads is transferred to your dash, so you know what’s coming up.
