To assist safe reversing, RCTA uses quasi-millimeter-wave radars in the rear bumper to detect approaching vehicles in difficult-to-see areas behind the vehicle. When an approaching vehicle is detected, RCTA alerts the driver using a buzzer and indicator in the relevant door mirror.
In the event of a collision, occupant protection is provided by ten sensor-controlled SRS (Supplemental Restraint System) airbags together with pretensioners and force limiters of the front and outboard rear seatbelts. The driver and front seat passenger are protected by dual-stage SRS driver airbag, dual-stage SRS front passenger airbag, SRS knee airbags and SRS side airbags. The outboard rear seats have SRS side airbags. SRS curtain shield airbags cover the front and rear door windows.
When the millimetre-wave radar detects the likelihood of a collision with a vehicle ahead, it alerts the driver with a display and a buzzer, and the pre-crash brake assist increases braking force when the driver depresses the brake pedal. If it determines a collision is difficult to avoid, then the pre-crash brakes and pre-crash seatbelts also operate to help reduce injury due to the collision. The Dynamic Radar Cruise Control uses the same radar technology to maintain your pre-selected distance behind the vehicle ahead.
Headlamp operation is controlled by the Automatic High Beam System. To help safe relaxing driving at night, the system instantly switches from high beam to low beam when the lights of an oncoming vehicle, or the tail lights of a car in front, are detected. High beam automatically resumes once the road is clear.
A camera detects white or yellow lane markings, and if the system judges the vehicle is about to cross the lane markings without using the turn signals, it alerts the driver with a buzzer and on the multi-information display. The system activates at speeds of approximately 50km/h and over.
Positioned in the center of the meter cluster, the 4.2-inch color TFT (Thin Film Transistor) multi-information display provides a wide range of vehicle information, data, and warnings.
The ES’s user-focused approach to advanced technology is evident in the simple touch control of the Remote Touch, which lets users interact intuitively with the navigation and audio systems on the 8-inch EMV (Electro Multi-Vision) display with the same ease of use as a computer mouse.
The easy-to-read Optitron meters provide critical driving information at a glance. An Eco Driving Indicator informs the driver when accelerator operation is considerate to the environment. In Eco and Normal Modes, the instrumentation turns a tranquil blue. Switching to Sport Mode illuminates the instrumentation in a vibrant red.
Subtle Lexus hospitality is seen in the elegant and functional design of the instrument panel and its real stitching detail. The use of LED ambient illumination to indirectly light the lower instrument panel and front and rear door trim, creates a feeling at night of being gently enveloped. The brightness can be adjusted to suit your preference.
The Mark Levinson Premium Surround Sound System features a 12-channel amplifier driving 15 speakers, and a 5.1-channel surround system that creates a rich three-dimensional sound experience. The system utilizes GreenEdge technology to significantly reduce energy consumption. (Optional)
