Getting safety just right takes years of tedious work, skillful engineering, and implantation of the latest technology in the industry. As the market changes, so does the requirements for IIHS Top Safety Pick status and NHTSA 5-star acknowledgement. Toyota knows how important safety is to you and your family, and that is why drivers get the very best when they visit the lot. Every new Toyota at the Toyota dealer in Trenton area is equipped with the Star Safety System™.
What is in the System?
The system includes the latest safety features and technologies to maximize driver, passenger, and pedestrian safety. The Star Safety System™ features six technologies.
- Brake Assist
Brake assist is an active safety feature that increases braking power in an emergency situation.
- Traction Control
Limits tire slip when a vehicle in on a slippery roadway or surface.
- Stability Control
Uses sensors to control the vehicle when a vehicle is traveling off the intended path. If the steering is going one way, and the wheels are traveling in another, the system applies the brakes to the affected wheels to redirect the wheels.
- Electronic Brakeforce Distribution
The feature detects how much weight each wheel is supporting and adjusts the braking pressure to each individual wheel to bring the car to a stop safely.
- ABS
ABS is a technology that assists the driver in maintain control when steering and avoid skidding. The system prevents the brakes from locking up.
- Smart Stop Technology®
Toyota’s technology has the ability to reduce the engine’s power in a braking situation, which enables the car to stop safely, even if firm pressure is on the gas pedal.
