New Yaris Cross has the technology to keep you safer, constantly monitoring the driving environment and alerting you to potential risks. The Pre-Collision System scans the road ahead for vehicles, pedestrians and cyclists, recognising when there’s a possibility of a rear-end collision. The driver is alerted with audio and visual warnings and brake assistance is activated. If the driver fails to brake in time the brakes automatically engage to prevent or mitigate a collision. This function assists the driver to prevent deviation from the driving lane. The system detects the curve ahead and adjusts the steering assist force to facilitate adequate steering. It can also support to improve straight line driving stability. If the system detects no driver input for some time, audible warnings will alert the driver. If no further inputs are detected, EDSS brings the vehicle to a gradual stop while keeping it safely in lane. Hazard lights are activated to warn other road users, and doors are unlocked to allow emergency services easy access if required.
