2008 LEXUS GS Safety and Security
With the GS, intuitive luxuries abound. Like
available windshield wipers that automatically
turn on when the system detects rain on the
windshield and adjust their wiping speed to
accommodate for the rate of rainfall. And tires
that are individually equipped with sensors that
continually monitor the tire pressure
.12 Should
there ever be a critical loss in pressure, an
indicator light will alert the driver. While liberal
doses of exhilaration are doled out mile after
mile, the safety of you and your passengers
will always be a priority. Which is why the
GS is made available with a Pre-Collision
System (PCS).
13 With PCS, a millimeter-wave
radar system can calculate the distance and
speed at which the GS is approaching an object
and determine if a collision is imminent. If so,
the system will automatically apply increased
braking force once you step on the brakes, while
simultaneously retracting the front seatbelts to
help prepare the occupants.
