More advanced Vehicle Dynamics Integrated Management (VDIM)
To assist you should in challenging driving situations, Vehicle Dynamics Integrated Management VDIM is fitted as standard. This advanced system has been programmed to provide greater integration of not only the engine output, braking, traction control and Vehicle Stability Control (VSC) but the steering as well. So in emergency situations, VDIM determines the most effective combination of preventative measures to help you maintain control of the vehicle.
Active Torque Control AWD also improves safety
When cornering on slippery surfaces, by supplying the optimum balance of driving effort to the front and rear wheels, Active Torque Control AWD helps reduce understeer or oversteer, to further improve cornering control.
Active Cruise Control keeps your distance
At highway speeds, if another vehicle crosses your path the Active Cruise Control (ACC) on the Sports and Sports Luxury models automatically slows your vehicle and applies the brakes if necessary to help maintain a safe following distance. When the vehicle moves away, your preset cruising speed is resumed.
10 SRS airbags
The RX 350 surrounds you with a comprehensive package of emergency restraint measures. These include dual stage front airbags, side airbags for the front and rear seats, knee airbags and side curtain shield airbags.
A twin chamber front passenger airbag
The dual stage front airbags not only deploy in accordance with the severity of collision impact. On the passenger's side is a dual chamber airbag, which secures the passenger's upper body to help disperse the physical impact.
Knee airbags help in two ways
You've the reassurance of knee airbags which not only reduce the risk of lower limb injury for the driver and front passenger. By deploying in front of the lower leg, they help restrain each occupant from slipping under the seatbelt, for more effective restraint.
Active Headrests
To help support your head in rear end collisions, a mechanism has been built into the back of the driver and front passenger's seats. The headrests have been designed to move up and forward, to provide more effective head support and help reduce the effects of whiplash type injuries.
Pre-Collision safety System (PCS) keeps watch
A radar sensor in the front grille watches the road ahead in the Sports and Sports Luxury models and relays information to the Pre-Collision safety System (PCS). If the system determines that a collision is imminent, Pre-collision Brake Assist (BA) supplements your braking effort for improved stopping performance. Then, the Pre-collision Seatbelts are activated for improved occupant restraint.
