April is Distracted Driving Awareness Month, and it’s an important subject for all drivers to consider. In 2024, distracted driving claimed more than 3,200 lives across the United States. At Fields Lexus of Glenview, we recognize that even the most attentive drivers face moments of vulnerability, and the Lexus safety features engineered into every new model are designed to provide a thoughtful layer of protection when those moments arise.
Lexus Safety System+®: Anticipating What You Might Miss
Most new Lexus models come standard with Lexus Safety System+®, a comprehensive suite that works quietly in the background to address the split-second lapses that lead to accidents. The Pre-Collision System with Pedestrian Detection monitors the road ahead using advanced radar and camera technology. If it senses an imminent collision and the driver hasn’t responded, the system delivers audible and visual alerts and can apply automatic braking to help reduce impact severity or avoid the collision.
Lane Departure Alert with Steering Assist watches for unintentional drift and provides gentle corrective steering input to guide you back into your lane, a particularly valuable safeguard during long stretches on the Edens Expressway or the Tri-State Tollway.
Intelligent Features That Keep Your Eyes Forward
All-Speed Dynamic Radar Cruise Control maintains a set following distance in both highway and stop-and-go traffic, reducing the temptation to glance away during congested commutes. Road Sign Assist reads speed limit signs and displays them in the instrument panel, delivering information you need without requiring you to search for it. Proactive Driving Assist, available on models equipped with Lexus Safety System+® 3.0, takes things further by anticipating potential hazards and applying gentle braking or steering adjustments before a situation escalates.
