At New Holland Toyota, we prioritize the safety of our drivers and passengers in Reading, PA, Lititz, and beyond by offering vehicles equipped with some of the most advanced safety features available. Toyota's commitment to safety is evident in every model, designed to provide peace of mind and protection for you and your driving companions. Here’s an in-depth look at the key safety features found in Toyota vehicles.
Toyota Safety Sense™ (TSS)
Pre-Collision System with Pedestrian Detection (PCS w/ PD)
This system uses a forward-facing camera and radar to detect vehicles and pedestrians in front of your Toyota. If a potential collision is detected, the system provides audio and visual alerts to the driver. If the driver does not react in time, the system can automatically apply the brakes to reduce speed and potentially avoid a collision.
Dynamic Radar Cruise Control (DRCC)
DRCC is an adaptive cruise control technology that maintains a healthy distance from any traffic in front of you. It can adjust the speed of your Toyota to match the flow of traffic, providing a smoother and safer driving experience on Ephrata highways. Full-speed range DRCC is available on select models, allowing the system to function at all speeds, including stop-and-go traffic.
Lane Departure Alert with Steering Assist (LDA w/ SA)
This feature monitors lane markings on the road and alerts the driver if the vehicle begins to drift out of its lane without signaling. If necessary, the Steering Assist function can gently steer the vehicle back into the lane, helping to prevent accidental lane departures.
Automatic High Beams (AHB)
AHB uses an in-vehicle camera to monitor approaching vehicles via their headlights and the taillights of vehicles ahead. It automatically switches between high and low beams to ensure you have the best visibility without causing glare to oncoming traffic.
Lane Tracing Assist (LTA)
LTA works in conjunction with DRCC to keep your vehicle centered on the road. It uses lane markers and, in some cases, other vehicles to help you stay in your lane, reducing the burden on the driver during long highway drives.
Toyota Star Safety System™
Vehicle Stability Control (VSC)
VSC helps prevent wheel slip and loss of traction by reducing engine power and applying brake force to the wheels that need it. This system enhances the driver’s control during cornering and in adverse conditions.
Traction Control (TRAC)
TRAC prevents wheel spin during acceleration by reducing engine power and applying brake force to the spinning wheels. This helps maintain traction on slippery or uneven surfaces.
Anti-lock Brake System (ABS)
ABS prevents the wheels from locking up during hard braking, allowing the driver to maintain steering control. This system is crucial for maintaining control during emergency braking situations.
Electronic Brake-force Distribution (EBD)
EBD optimizes the distribution of braking force between the front and rear wheels based on driving conditions and vehicle load. This helps improve braking performance and stability.
Brake Assist (BA)
BA detects sudden or emergency braking and automatically applies additional brake force to help reduce stopping distance. This feature is particularly useful in panic-stop situations.
Smart Stop Technology® (SST)
SST automatically reduces engine power when both the accelerator and brake pedals are pressed simultaneously under certain conditions. This helps bring the vehicle to a stop if the accelerator is inadvertently engaged.
Advanced Airbag System
Toyota vehicles come equipped with an advanced airbag system that includes front airbags, side-impact airbags, and side curtain airbags. These airbags are strategically placed to provide comprehensive protection for occupants in the event of a collision.
Blind Spot Monitor (BSM) with Rear Cross-Traffic Alert (RCTA)
BSM watches your blind spots for you, helping to prevent lane-change accidents. RCTA provides warnings of close encounters with another vehicle when backing out, enhancing safety in crowded areas.
Safety Connect®
Safety Connect® provides emergency assistance, stolen vehicle locator, roadside assistance, and automatic collision notification. These services are available at the touch of a button and can help provide peace of mind in emergency situations.
