Toyota RAV4 Standard Safety

The Toyota RAV4 has a number of standard driver-assistive systems that will increase the safety you’ll feel on the roads. For example, it comes standard with the Toyota Safety Sense™ 2.0 suite. This suite features a number of technologically advanced systems that have been designed to keep you safe.

This suite includes the following:

• Pre-Collision System with Pedestrian Detection: Detects vehicles and pedestrians and gives warning to stop. It can engage the brakes if needed.
• Full-Speed Range Dynamic Radar Cruise Control: Safely follows other vehicles on the highway at a distance of your choosing.
• Lane Departure Alert with Steering Assist: Detects unintentional lane drifting and can steer you back on track.
• Road Sign Assist: Reads nearby road signs (speed limits, stop signs, and more) and puts the info on the dashboard for easier reading.

You’ll also find a standard backup camera to help with parking, Trailer-Sway Control if you’re bringing a trailer, and Hill Start Assist Control to prevent roll back when parked on a hill.

Toyota RAV4 Available Safety

Numerous technology systems are also available as upgrades. One example is the Blind Spot Monitor with Rear Cross-Traffic Alert. This system has been designed to help you merge on the highway by watching for cars in your blind spot. Then, when you’re backing out of a parking space, Rear Cross-Traffic Alert will watch for cars driving past.

For added parking guidance, there’s also available Front and Rear Parking Assist with Automatic Braking. When driving at lower speeds, this system watches for objects in your path and can stop the vehicle if you get too close.

For even more heightened awareness, check out the available Bird’s Eye View Camera. It provides a 360-degree look around your vehicle so you can see better as you choose a parking space.
