PASSIVE SAFETY

While an ordinary crash test dummy can provide 119 data points, Lexus uses digital models comprised of millions. The result of such an innovative approach to safety: The GS is equipped with a class-leading [*] 10-airbag system [*] that includes an all-new side airbag design to help provide additional support for the rib cage and upper arm. And, to help decrease the severity of whiplash-type injuries, new Whiplash Injury Lessening (WIL) [*] front seats are designed to absorb some of the force of the impact by pushing backward in certain rear collisions.

DYNAMIC RADAR CRUISE CONTROL

To help you maintain a pre-set following distance from a vehicle traveling ahead, available Dynamic Radar Cruise Control [*] can regulate the throttle and even apply the brakes. And, when the road ahead clears, it can return your vehicle to the pre-selected speed.

NIGHT VIEW

Available Night View [*] uses near-infrared technology to detect pedestrians and other objects beyond the reach of low-beam headlamps. If an object is detected, it can display the image on the navigation display.

BLIND SPOT MONITOR

To help you change lanes more safely, the available Blind Spot Monitor [*] can warn you if it detects vehicles approaching or positioned in the adjacent lanes.

ADAPTIVE FRONT LIGHTING

The available Dual-swivel Adaptive Front Lighting System [*] can help illuminate curves by rotating the right or left headlamp into a turn at low speeds and both headlamps together at higher speeds.

LANE KEEP ASSIST

When using cruise control, available Lane Keep Assist [*] is designed to read the road's lane markings and steer the vehicle back toward the center of the lane if you begin to veer.

 

PRE-COLLISION SYSTEM

The Pre-Collision System [*] available on the GS wasn't born out of theory or speculation. It's a result of real observations using the world's most advanced driving simulator. This remarkable Pre-Collision System [*] connects to cameras designed to detect if you have your eyes closed or are facing away from the road when an obstacle is detected ahead. If the system determines either condition is met, it will attempt to warn you through a series of beeps and visible indications. And, to help you avoid a potential collision, the GS is also designed to automatically begin braking a full two seconds before impact.
