The LDA (Lane Departure Alert) warns the driver if the vehicle may deviate from the current lane. While the LTA (Lane Tracing Assist) helps assist steering the operation required to keep the vehicle in its lane, with enhanced recognition and control performance. Finally, the LCA (Lane Change Assist) activates when the driver operates the turn signal lever to assist steering operations to change lanes and monitoring vehicles in the target lanes.
If the system detects a vehicle approaching from the front left or right when entering an intersection, it will attract the driver’s attention with an animated warning in the color head up display showing the direction the vehicle is approaching from.
If the Emergency Steering Assist system detects a collision with a vehicle, motorcycles, pedestrian or bicyclist ahead is likely, there is sufficient space for the vehicle to be steered within its lane and the driver has begun an evasive maneuver, it assists steering to help enhance vehicle stability and prevent lane departures.
In addition to the normal Pre Collision System operating range, the system also supports collision avoidance with vehicles and motorcycles crossing at intersections. If the system determines that a collusion is likely, it alerts the driver and activates the brakes to help mitigate damage.
The LS features dual-stage SRS airbags (Front seats), SRS knee airbags (Front seats), SRS side airbags (Front and outboard rear seats) and SRS curtain shield airbags (Front and rear seats). SRS seat cushion airbags (Outboard rear seats) are also available for the power rear seats.
When the rear seat is unoccupied, it automatically reclines in tandem with shift operation. If the headrest is raised, it also lowers to provide a wide field of view in the interior mirror.
Video that provides the driver with an imageof the vehicle as if viewed from above is displayed on the 12.3-inch EMV (Electro Multi-Vision) display. It helps the driver to check conditions around the vehicle that are difficult to see in real time.
The system helps the driver intuitively understand warnings and take action to avoid potential hazards with animations and information projected on the large 24-inch (600x150mm) display. The screen is divided into different areas to effectively bring information to the driver’s attention including cautions and warnings, driving support, road signs, vehicle speed, navigation and other information.
