360 Degrees of Safety

There's safety. Then there's Lexus safety. That's why the GX has features to help protect you before, during or after an accident. This is the luxury of confidence. This is the pursuit of 360 Degrees of Safety in the GX. To learn more, click on the features below.

The GX leads its class with 10 airbags [1] [2], which help protect you and your passengers in certain types of impacts.

Learn More

This available Pre-Collision System (PCS) [3] can detect an impending collision, warn the driver and make adjustments to help lower the severity of the impact.

Learn More

The driver is alerted whenever this available system [4] detects what appears to be an unintentional lane change.

Learn More

Vehicle Stability Control (VSC) [5] helps control a loss of traction in turns while Active Traction Control (A-TRAC) helps minimize wheelspin on slippery surfaces.

Learn More

To illuminate more of the road while cornering, the available Adaptive Front Lighting System (AFS) [6] can pivot the headlamps toward the turn.

Learn More

Sensors are designed to detect the amount of water on the windshield and activate the wipers accordingly.

This service is designed to provide emergency help at a moment's notice. It helps you stay secure on the road without requiring a mobile phone [7] [8].

Learn More

In certain low-speed rear-end collisions, active front headrests [9] raise diagonally upward and forward helping to decrease the movement of the head relative to the spine.

Learn More

This system is designed to automatically reduce engine power when the brake pedal is firmly applied, even if the accelerator pedal is fully pressed down [10].

[1]2012 GX vs. 2011 competitors based on Luxury Midsize SUVs. [2]All the airbag (AB) systems are Supplemental Restraint Systems. All ABs (if installed) are designed to inflate only under certain conditions and in certain types of severe collisions: frontal and knee ABs typically inflate in frontal collisions; side and side curtain ABs in side collisions; Roll-Sensing Curtain ABs at a severe tilt degree, roll or lateral G-force. In all other accidents, the ABs will not inflate. To decrease the risk of injury from an inflating AB, always wear seatbelts, sit upright in the middle of the seat as far back as possible and do not lean against the door. Do not put objects in front of an AB or around the seatback. Do not use a rearward-facing child seat in any front passenger seat. The force of an inflating AB may cause serious injury or death. Please see your Owner’s Manual for further information/warnings. [3]The Pre-Collision System is designed to help reduce the crash speed and damage in certain frontal collisions only. It is not a collision-avoidance system and is not a substitute for safe and attentive driving. System effectiveness depends on many factors, such as speed, driver input and road conditions. Please see your Owner's Manual for further information. [4]Lane Departure Alert is designed to read the lane markers of certain roads. If the vehicle approaches the outer limits of its lane, the system warns the driver that corrective action may be required. It is not a collision-avoidance system and is not a substitute for safe and attentive driving. System effectiveness depends on many factors. Please see your Owner’s Manual for further information. [5]Vehicle Stability Control (VSC) is an electronic system designed to help the driver maintain vehicle control under adverse conditions. It is not a substitute for safe driving practices. Factors including speed, road conditions and driver steering input can all affect whether VSC will be effective in preventing a loss of control. Please see your Owner's Manual for further details. [6]The Adaptive Front Lighting System can help improve vision at night. However, conditions such as a dirty windshield, rapidly changing light conditions or hilly terrain will limit effectiveness so the driver may need to manually change the high beams from on to off. Please see your Owner's Manual for details. [7]Safety Connect® is available. Contact with the Safety Connect response center is dependent upon the telematics device being in operative condition, cellular connection availability, navigation map data and GPS satellite signal reception, which can limit the ability to reach the response center or receive emergency support. Enrollment and Telematics Subscription Service Agreement required. One-year trial subscription available only with new vehicle purchase of Safety Connect—equipped vehicles. Additional subscription terms available; charges vary by subscription term. [8]The Safety Connect® services Automatic Collision Notification, Emergency Assistance and Stolen Vehicle Location will function in the United States, including Hawaii and Alaska, and in Canada. Enhanced Roadside Assistance will function in the United States (except for Hawaii) and in Canada. No Safety Connect services will function outside of the United States in countries other than Canada. [9]Active front headrests can help reduce the extent of whiplash in certain types of rear-end collisions. [10]Smart Stop Technology operates only in the event of certain simultaneous brake and gas pedal applications. When engaged, the system will reduce engine power to help the brakes bring the vehicle to a stop. Factors including speed, road conditions and driver input can all impact stopping distance. Smart Stop Technology is not a substitute for safe and attentive driving and does not guarantee instant stopping. Please see your Owner's Manual for further details. Back to top
