Driver-Assisting Technology Features

The RAV4 also comes standard with the Toyota Safety Sense™ 2.0 suite of driver-assisting technology features that are designed to mitigate and help you avoid potential mishaps or collisions on the road. The system includes exterior-mounted sensors that will measure the speed of the RAV4 as well as its proximity to the vehicle or object ahead. When it senses an imminent collision or lane departure, it will enact the appropriate systems to help you on the road.

These features include:

• Pre-Collision System with Pedestrian Detection: Detects when a collision is likely to occur and uses brake pressure to reduce the force of impact while giving you time to react and stop the vehicle completely.
• Lane Departure Alert with Steering Assist: This feature senses when you’re beginning to veer out of your lane and will then use brake pressure while pulling your steering wheel slightly to ensure you’ll remain in your intended lane.
• Full-Speed Range Dynamic Radar Cruise Control: This driver-assisting feature lets you set a desired cruising speed and will also ensure a safe distance is maintained from the vehicle ahead. Even if traffic slows down, this system will adapt to the flow without your having to disengage the system.
• Road Sign Assist: The sensors will detect an upcoming street sign and display it on the dashboard before it’s fully visible.
