LS Safety Features

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.

Advanced three-point seatbelts provide the primary means of protection for adults, while a latch system allows easy installation of a child’s car seat.

With Lexus Link® [2], fast, 24-hour emergency service is available at the touch of a button.

The LS comes standard with an advanced series of airbags [3] which help protect you and your passengers in certain types of 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 [4] continually checks each individual tire, then notifies you in case of critically low pressure.

The available Pre-Collision [5] sensors help determine if a frontal collision is inevitable, then the LS prepares the Brake Assist [6] 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.

Daytime Running Lights help make the LS more visible to other motorists during daylight hours.


 
 
[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]An active Lexus Link® subscription (including a signed Lexus Link Service Subscription Agreement) is required in order to receive Lexus Link services. Lexus Link services require vehicle electrical system and wireless service to be available and operating for features to function properly. Lexus Link uses existing emergency service providers as well as wireless and satellite technologies. A one-year subscription to the Safety Plan is included with the purchase of a new vehicle. Other plans are available at an additional cost. [3]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. [4]The Lexus 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. [5]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. [6]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. Back to top
