PREVENTIVE SAFETY

The Lexus LS 600h offers the highest content of sophisticated preventive safety technology in the world, supported by a series of advanced driver assistance features.
 
The Pre-Crash Safety system, already featured in the IS and GS model ranges, has been developed to provide even better performance, both in daylight and at night. Its features include an Advanced Obstacle Detection System, which uses a millimetre-wave radar and infra-red stereo camera to detect a wide range of obstacles on the road ahead including, for the first time, pedestrians.

The Driver Monitoring System uses a camera mounted on the top of the steering column cover and a series of integrated near-infra-red LEDs to track the movement of the driver’s head. If it determines the driver is looking away from the road ahead at the same time as a collision threat is detected, the system will sound an alert and briefly apply the brakes.

Completing the raft of new preventive safety technologies is the Rear Pre-Crash Safety system, which can detect an imminent rear-end impact, both when the car is moving or stationary. To help protect against whiplash injury, the front seat head restraints are automatically moved up and forwards to cushion the occupant’s head.


ULTIMATE COMFORT – THE LS 600h L

The long wheelbase LS 600h L measures 5,150mm, its additional 120mm in the wheelbase dedicated entirely to providing extra rear passenger legroom.

As well as being more spacious, the LS 600h L offers first class comfort, with reclining heated and air conditioned rear seats with leg and foot rests and a unique massage function with different programmes to provide gentle or firm treatment for the back and shoulders.

It also features the world’s first multi-zone automatic climate control air conditioning system that monitors and reacts to human body temperature. A rear seat entertainment system with a separate DVD player and retractable ceiling mounted screen is available, together with a Mark Levinson Reference Surround System with 5.1 home theatre sound reproduction.
