At Lexus, we’re constantly looking out for the driver. It’s why nearly every new Lexus model comes standard with Lexus Safety System+, a comprehensive suite of active safety equipment.* And now, with the introduction of the 2018 LS 500 and LS 500h, we're closer than ever to realizing our ultimate vision: an accident-free world. From technology designed to automatically brake and actively steer* to sensors that can help warn you of cross-traffic* in an intersection to its 24-inch high-resolution Heads-Up Display, this is not just the most sophisticated Lexus safety system yet. It’s a preview of what’s to come. Scroll for more information about Lexus safety. Or, to learn more about the driver-first innovations on the all-new Lexus LS, use the link below.
Standard on most Lexus vehicles, this is the most comprehensive safety system ever offered by Lexus. An integrated suite of advanced safety systems, Lexus Safety System+ is designed to help in certain circumstances, from pedestrian alerts to preventing lane drift.*
This system* is engineered to detect a vehicle or pedestrian in the path of your Lexus under certain conditions. Should the system detect a pedestrian ahead or determine a frontal collision is imminent, it’s designed to activate an audible and visual alert while automatically preparing Brake Assist* for increased braking response. If the driver does not brake in time, the system is designed to automatically begin braking before impact and, in some cases, can even brake the vehicle to a stop.

Lexus offers a variety of lane assistance systems designed to help keep you in your lane. Utilizing a high-resolution camera that monitors visible lane markings when an inadvertant lane departure is detected, Lane Departure Alert* is designed to provide an audible alert. In addition, Lane Departure Alert* with Steering Assist can take corrective measures with a slight pull on the steering wheel. Finally, Lane Keep Assist* is designed to help prevent drifting before it occurs.

To help provide greater visibility for you as well as other drivers, intelligent high-beam headlamps* offer added illumination to help keep you focused on the road. When the road ahead is clear, the system defaults to high-beam mode, then temporarily switches to low beams when it senses the headlamps or taillamps of vehicles ahead.

To help you maintain a preset following distance from the vehicle traveling ahead, Dynamic Radar Cruise Control* uses radar and camera technology to sense the speed of the vehicle in front of you. If the vehicle ahead slows down or you get closer than the preset distance, it can automatically reduce the speed of your Lexus. And, in some cases, even bring your vehicle to a complete stop. As soon as the road ahead clears, the system returns the vehicle to its preset speed.

Lexus Enform Safety Connect* offers you peace of mind, knowing that assistance can be there when you need it most. Whether you're involved in a collision, your vehicle is stolen, or some other emergency, assistance can be sent directly to your vehicle's GPS location.
Built for the people they protect, Lexus airbags* are so advanced, they're designed to detect the seat-track position of the driver and front passenger and deploy accordingly.
For increased awareness, Lexus vehicles offer numerous ways to help you see your surroundings. From backup cameras* with dynamic gridlines for parking and maneuvering, to available features like the GX's front/side camera system designed to offer enhanced visibility around some corners, or the RX's and LX's impressive 360-degree view enabled by four cameras *. Lexus vehicles can help bring your surroundings into focus.
A world without accidents is what we envision. While our goals for safety are ambitious, so are the innovations we create to bring us closer to them.
