One of the reasons Peruzzi Toyota in Hatfield, PA is so proud to represent the brand is its never-ending commitment to safety for its owners. The Toyota suite of Safety Sense features has been developed over years to deliver the most cutting-edge technology for making drives, both long and short, much safer. Let’s take a closer look at what’s included.

PRE-COLLISION SYSTEM WITH PEDESTRIAN DETECTION

Cameras and sensors continually scan the area to detect other vehicles, obstacles, or pedestrians. You’re alerted of them through both audio and visual cues; if you fail to brake in time, the system does it for you. Plus, Brake Assist kicks in to give you a little more power in stopping.

LANE DEPARTURE ALERT/LANE ASSIST

Even the most conscientious driver will have moments when they begin to drift out of their lane – and that can spell trouble. That is where this technology comes in. Once you hit 32 mph, the system kicks in and uses audio/visual reminders to get you back on track. If you’re drifting out of your lane without using a turn signal, Lane Assist makes small steering adjustments to correct things.

AUTOMATIC HIGH BEAMS

Not only does this offer more safety during night driving, but it’s also convenient; the headlights automatically switch to “low” when it detects an oncoming vehicle. One less thing you have to do manually!

ROAD SIGN ASSIST

How great is this? This system looks ahead, scanning the road for signs reflecting speed limit changes, stop signs, and more, then displays it inside the cabin. It’s an additional “heads up” to help you from being caught unawares.

Naturally, Peruzzi Toyota wants to remind you that while these technological advancements are great, they should be partnered with common sense driving skills. Nothing replaces your own attention behind the wheel, but it’s nice to know you’ve got a helping hand on the road, courtesy of Toyota!
