SAFETY
Step inside the IS 350 and you're surrounded by safety. Eight SRS airbags deploy intelligently, while integrated safety technologies help you maintain traction and avoid
accidents.
Eight SRS airbags
Eight SRS airbags as standard on the IS 350 help reduce collision impact for greater peace of mind. Driver and front passengers have dual stage front airbags, front seat side airbags and knee airbags to help protect lower limbs. Rear seat side airbags and full length side curtain-shield airbags help protect the rear outer passengers.
Advanced safety systems management
The IS 350 includes Vehicle Dynamics Integrated Management (VDIM),
a breakthrough system which can anticipate and help prevent
instability and loss of traction, especially on slippery corners.
VDIM integrates the comprehensive package of safety technologies in
the IS 350, which includes the Anti-lock Braking System, Brake
Assist, Electronic Brake-force Distribution, Traction Control and Vehicle Stability Control.
Pre-collision safety
The Lexus Pre-Collision safety System (PCS)1 in the IS
350 Sports Luxury model helps you avoid accidents and can help
reduce injury and damage where an impact is unavoidable. The PCS is
assisted by a radar sensor embedded in the front grille, which
monitors the distance of the vehicle from objects ahead. If the PCS
determines a collision is likely, it displays a visual warning and
sounds an alarm. It then pre-emptively retracts the driver and
front passenger seatbelts, while arming Brake Assist to help reduce
speed. If the driver does not respond and a collision is
unavoidable, the system automatically applies Pre-Collision
Braking.
Active Cruise Control
In addition to conventional cruise control, the IS 350 Sports
Luxury model features a vehicle-to-vehicle distance technology
known as Active Cruise Control (ACC)2. Pre-set your
preferred cruising speed using touch controls on the steering
wheel. This speed will be maintained until the radar detects
another vehicle in your path. ACC will reduce speed accordingly,
and even apply the brakes if necessary. Your nominated speed is
resumed once a safe following distance can be maintained.
Footnotes
1. The Pre-Collision safety System is a driver assist technology
and should not be used in place of safe driving practices. The
driver should continue to monitor the road ahead.
2. ACC is a driver assist technology and should not be used in
place of safe driving practices. The driver should continue to
monitor the road ahead.
