One of the most common questions we hear at Fields Lexus Glenview is about the Lexus Safety System+® — specifically, what it actually does. It’s a suite of advanced driver-assistance technologies that comes standard across most Lexus models, and once you understand what’s inside it, the confidence it brings on every drive makes a lot more sense.
Pre-Collision System with Pedestrian Detection
This feature uses a camera and millimeter-wave radar to detect vehicles, pedestrians, bicyclists, and motorcyclists ahead. If a potential collision is detected and the driver doesn’t respond appropriately, the system can provide braking assistance and, in certain situations, automatic emergency braking. It’s a layer of protection that works quietly in the background — until you need it most.
Lane Departure Alert with Steering Assist and Lane Tracing Assist
Lane Departure Alert reads visible lane markers and provides an audible and visual warning if the vehicle begins to drift. Steering Assist adds a gentle correction to help bring you back. Lane Tracing Assist goes a step further, providing steering assistance to help keep the vehicle centered when Dynamic Radar Cruise Control is engaged.
Full-Speed Range Dynamic Radar Cruise Control
This isn’t your standard cruise control. It maintains a set following distance from the vehicle ahead — adjusting speed all the way down to a full stop and back up again. It takes real pressure off during highway drives and stop-and-go traffic.
Road Sign Assist and Automatic High Beams
Road Sign Assist detects posted speed limits and other relevant signs, displaying them on the instrument panel so you stay informed. Automatic High Beams switch between high and low automatically based on oncoming traffic, keeping visibility optimized without the extra effort.
