Traffic Awareness Month Celebrated at Markquart Toyota

Aug 14, 2019

Become Familiar with Toyota Safety Sense

August is Traffic Awareness Month and the perfect time to become aware of the Toyota Safety Sense features that come standard in most new Toyota’s[1]. Remaining alert and focused while you drive is vital to the safety of you and everyone around you.

Whether you want help keeping up with your high beams at night, an extra level of comfort when staying in your lane, or simply the assurance that your blind spot is clear before changing lanes, Toyota has a feature for all of your concerns.

Automatic High Beams- This system is enabled at night, while you are using your high beams and assists you by automatically toggling between high and low beams when other drivers are detected.[2]
Lane Departure Alert- This is an audio alert that notifies when you are outside of the lane markers, and is in place to inform you to navigate back into your lane safely.[3]
Blind Spot Monitor- This feature alert you via a light on your side mirror. The light flashes when you are trying to change lanes, and there is another vehicle in your blind spot.
