RX

PRE-CRASH SAFETY SYSTEM

The highly advanced Lexus Pre-Crash Safety System (PCS) can help the driver of the new RX avoid a collision. But if impact is inevitable, PCS can employ state-of-the art technologies to reduce collision damage and injury.

When fitted with the optional Pre-Crash Safety System, a millimetre-wave radar sweeps the road ahead of the RX detecting certain obstacles and continually calculates impact-risk. If a high-risk situation is detected, PCS immediately alerts the driver with a warning buzzer and a red BRAKE ! signal. It also activates Pre-Crash Brake Assist, which can provide the driver with increased brake pressure.

If a collision is subsequently deemed unavoidable, PCS engages Pre-Crash Brake, which can automatically apply the brakes prior to impact, to help reduce collision force. Pre-Crash Seatbelts are also activated, automatically retracting both front seatbelts in the instant before impact, to help reduce injury.
