What Is Lexus Safety System+?

Lexus Safety System+ is an advanced suite of safety features that allows drivers to navigate roads safely. Since 2020, some form of this package has been standard on all Lexus models and that is a reflection of the commitment the brand has to its customers. But, what exactly is Lexus Safety System+?

Key Features of Lexus Safety System+

  1. Pre-Collision System with Pedestrian Detection: This feature uses cameras and radar to detect vehicles and pedestrians in the vehicle's path. It provides warnings and can automatically apply brakes to prevent or mitigate collisions.

  2. Lane Departure Alert: This system monitors lane markings and alerts the driver if the vehicle begins to drift out of its lane. Some models include Steering Assist to help keep the vehicle centered.

  3. Intelligent High Beams: Automatically switches between high and low beams based on the presence of other vehicles, optimizing visibility without blinding other drivers.

  4. Dynamic Radar Cruise Control: Maintains a preset speed and safe following distance from the vehicle ahead, adjusting speed as necessary. The latest versions include Curve Speed Management to handle corners.

  5. Road Sign Assist: Uses a camera to recognize road signs and displays the information on the instrument panel or head-up display, helping drivers stay informed of traffic signs they might have missed.

  6. Risk Avoidance Emergency Steer Assist: Assists with steering and braking to help avoid collisions in the vehicle's lane.

  7. Oncoming Vehicle and Pedestrian Detection and Braking: This feature warns and automatically brakes if a potential collision with an oncoming vehicle or pedestrian is detected during turns.

  • Lexus Safety System+ 2.0 and 2.5: These versions introduced enhancements like Road Sign Assist and Lane Tracing Assist, which help keep the vehicle centered in its lane.

  • Lexus Safety System+ 3.0: This latest version includes new features such as Risk Avoidance Emergency Steer Assist and enhanced Dynamic Radar Cruise Control with Curve Speed Management, further improving safety and driver assistance capabilities.
