Find the feature you are looking for in one comprehensive list.

Vehicle Dynamics Integrated Management (VDIM) [1] uses a sophisticated network of sensors to anticipate a skid before it occurs.

This available 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 [2] [3].

When the Dynamic Radar Cruise Control [4] is in use and the system is activated, available Lane Keep Assist [5] helps guide the vehicle down the center of the lane of travel.

The LS comes standard with an advanced series of airbags [6] which help protect you and your passengers in certain types of severe frontal and side impacts.

Anti-lock brakes help increase steering control even under hard braking, while Electronic Controlled Braking (ECB) uses sensors to help determine the brake pressure needed.

The Direct Tire Pressure Monitor [7] continually checks each individual tire, then notifies you in case of critically low pressure.

In the event of certain minor rear-end collisions, the front section of the driver's and front passenger's headrests [8] is designed to move upward and forward to help reduce whiplash injury.

The available Pre-Collision [9] sensors help determine if a frontal collision is inevitable, then the LS prepares the Brake Assist [10] system and retracts the front seatbelts.

The vehicle's body is reinforced with crumple zones and side-impact door beams that help the occupants in the event of an impact.

The available Advanced Pre-Collision System [11] uses a series of sensors to help determine if there is a high probability of a frontal collision, and then ultimately, when a collision is unavoidable. The system retracts the front seat belts and primes the Brake Assist System [10] to help reduce collision damage.


 
 
[1]Vehicle Dynamics Integrated Management (VDIM) 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 VDIM will be effective in preventing a loss of control. Please see your Owner's Manual for further details. [2]Available on select 2010 Lexus models. Contact with the Lexus Enform 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 support. Enrollment and Telematics Subscription Service Agreement required. One-year trial subscription available only with new vehicle purchase of Lexus Enform-equipped vehicles. Additional subscription terms available; charges vary by subscription term selected. [3]Safety Connect services will function in the United States, including Hawaii and Alaska, and in Canada. The services will not function outside of the United States in countries other than Canada. [4]Dynamic Radar Cruise Control is designed to assist the driver and is not a substitute for safe and attentive driving practices. Please see your Owner's Manual for important instructions and cautions. [5]Lane Keep Assist is designed to read the lane markers of certain roads and apply slight torque to the steering wheel to help keep the car in the center of the lane. 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. [6]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. [7]The Tire Pressure Monitor System alerts the driver when tire pressure is critically low. For optimal tire wear and performance, tire pressure should be checked regularly with a gauge; do not rely solely on the monitor system. Please see your Owner's Manual for details. [8]Active headrests can help prevent or limit the extent of whiplash in certain types of rear-end collisions. [9]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. [10]Brake Assist is designed to help the driver take full advantage of the benefits of ABS. It is not a substitute for safe driving practices. Braking effectiveness also depends on proper brake-system maintenance and tire and road conditions. [11]The Advanced Pre-Collision System is designed to help reduce the crash speed and damage in certain frontal collisions only. The included Driver Attention Monitor is designed to alert the driver if a potential hazard is detected ahead and the driver's face appears to be turned away. They are not collision-avoidance systems and are not substitutes for safe and attentive driving. System effectiveness depends on many factors. Please see your Owner's Manual for further information.
