It’s like the automotive equivalent of personal space. Among the many innovations offered by
Prius, you’ll find technologies to monitor the vehicle’s surroundings and help keep you safe.
Available features include a Pre-Collision System (PCS),
1
engineered to alert you to potential
hazards in front of you; a backup camera,
2
to help address those behind; and Lane Keep
Assist (LKA),
3
to help you avoid problems on either side. Call it all-around peace of mind.
360 degrees of separation.
Lane Keep Assist
(
LKA
)
Available LKA can help keep Prius in its own lane if the lane lines are clearly
visible. If an inadvertent lane departure is detected, the system issues an
audible tone and warning screen. And when Dynamic Radar Cruise Control
(DRCC)
4
is engaged, LKA can also help to keep Prius centered in its lane on an
ongoing basis by providing a corrective steering force when necessary.
Vehicle Proximity Notification System
(
VPNS
)
When Prius is traveling below 15 mph and running solely on electric power,
it emits a series of tones to help alert pedestrians of the vehicle’s presence.
So that the tones won’t be lost against an urban backdrop, they are high- and
low-pitched, rising and falling with changes in vehicle speed.
Backup Camera
When you’re backing up, the available backup camera displays the area behind
the vehicle that’s visible to the camera on the touch-screen of the navigation
system or on the audio system’s display.
Smart Key System
5
With the Smart Key in your pocket or purse,
the doors of Prius unlock when you touch the
driver’s door handle, and the engine starts
with the push of a button.
