Lexus CT 200h Advanced Safety
The new Lexus CT 200h is ready to set new standards in the premium C-segment by offering the highest levels of preventive, active and passive safety.
The full hybrid hatchback will be the first model in its class to feature Lexus’s Pre-Crash Safety system (PCS) and Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC), furthering the technical innovation for which the brand is renowned.
Lexus announced the details this week, as the CT 200h makes its USA debut at the New York Auto Show. The car will be launched in the UK and Europe in late 2010.
The CT 200h’s Pre-Crash Safety (PCS) system sets a new benchmark for preventive safety in the compact premium segment.
Already established as a key safety feature of other Lexus models, it uses a millimetre wave radar sensor to scan the road ahead for potential impact hazards. If the system determines a risk of impact, it assists the driver to reduce the chances of a collision.
If there is a high possibility of an accident, PCS will alert the drier and automatically provide emergency braking assistance when the brakes are operated, activating the seatbelt pretensioners at the same time.
