YOUR DRIVE

Last month we introduced you to Toyota Connected Services, our suite of always-on safety features, but there’s more below the surface when it comes to high-tech protection.
Not familiar with the current state of safety technology? Here’s a simple round up the advanced auto technology that’s making your drive safer than ever.
Imagine if you had an extra set of eyes on the road. That’s where a pre-collision safety system steps in. Many newer vehicles can now alert you when an in-built camera or radar predicts a frontal collision so you have time to brake. See more details here.
Think of it like your car’s spidey sense!
Many accidents involving pedestrians or cyclists happen because the driver didn’t see them when turning at an intersection. Technology that’s aware of your surroundings is helping lower the likelihood of these accidents with auto-detection of pedestrians and cyclists. See more details here.
That’s great news for drivers, cyclists and pedestrians – so everyone!
Long stretches of road are known to cause a lapse in concentration – and drifting at high speed is a real danger! The latest advances in safety tech help prevent this by reading road markings and alerting you if you start to drift. See more details here.
We think that’s a pretty smart idea, if you catch our drift.
This technology helps provide a safety net if something slips your attention with emergency steering support. Essentially, if a collision seems likely, the car can assist your steering and help you stay in control. See more details here.
We don’t have to reinvent the (steering) wheel to stay safe – just enhance it with smart tech.
There’s a lot to concentrate on when driving on the road. Sometimes you might miss a speed sign and not know how fast you’re meant to be travelling. Well with road sign aware technology, which is designed to scan and read certain Australian speed limit signs and alert you to a change, you can cruise with confidence! See more details here.

To keep your Toyota running at its optimum, it’s a good idea to ensure your cars essential fluids are at recommended levels. Mid-summer is a great time to check on these levels as some of these liquids have the tendency to evaporate in the heat and after the car has been used on road trips over the summer break. Knowing what fluids to check is important, and your Toyota will thank you for it in the long run.
