When it comes time to shop for a new car, most buyers start their search based on the vehicles that look the best to them. Just like you should never judge a book by its cover, you should never choose a car based on its appearance! Once you have narrowed down your options based on what a vehicle looks like, take some time to research other features like fuel economy, technology features and safety ratings. Your Pennsylvania Toyota dealership explains the safety features of the 2014 Toyota Highlander:
Toyota Star Safety System
The award-winning Toyota Star Safety System is included with the 2014 Highlander. The safety features of this system are more advanced than your average vehicle and include things like Electronic Brake-force Distribution, brake assist traction control, stability control and Smart Stop Technology. All safety features are designed to help drivers stay in control of their car in all driving conditions and to help prevent car accidents.
Advanced Airbags
In addition to the typical airbags you would expect all vehicles to have, the 2014 Highlander adds a knee airbag for the driver, and a seat-cushion airbag for the front seat passenger. Side curtain airbags and front-seat-mounted side airbags round out the collection of advanced airbags found inside the Highlander.
Other Standard Safety Features
In case of a collision, the 2014 Toyota Highlander provides front and rear energy-absorbing crumple zones to help minimize the impact of the collision on the driver and passengers.
There is a tire pressure monitoring system, blind spot monitor, downhill assist and hill start assist.
