SAFETY SAFETY

Step inside the IS F and you'll be surrounded by Lexus' advanced safety features. On the racetrack, you can vary the control settings to cut loose and push it to the limit.

Advanced safety systems management

The IS F 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 IS F's comprehensive package of safety technologies, which includes the Anti-lock Braking System (ABS), Brake Assist, Electronic Brake-force Distribution (EBD), Traction Control (TRC) and Vehicle Stability Control (VSC).

Eight SRS airbags

The IS F is equipped with a class-leading eight SRS airbags. The driver and front passenger 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.

Pre-collision safety

The Lexus Pre-Collision safety System (PCS)1 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 250 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 then 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.
