Naturally, top of the range safety is a key feature of Prado and nowhere is this more evident than with Grande.
Offering Driver Assist Technology (DAT) including:
Generation II Traction Control (TRC) Downhill Assist Control (DAC) Hill Start Assist Control (HAC)
Prado Grande has more innovations than any other 4WD in its class. So the driver can conquer more conditions, with more control, no matter how rough the road gets.
Added to that, six airbags protecting front and rear passengers as well as Toyota's Safe-T-Cell protective structure and you know you're in safe hands when you're behind the wheel of Prado Grande.
Visibility
With Prado's commanding presence on the road, large swept back frontal glass area and spacious cabin minimising blind spots, you have the best seat in the house for spotting potential hazards on the road.
SRS Airbags
You can never be too safe which is why Grande has one of the most advanced forms of airbag protection on the road. Prado Grande features two-stage driver and passenger Supplementary Restraint System (SRS) for frontal impact, dual SRS side airbags for side impact and SRS curtain shield airbags for the rear seat passengers are fitted to every Grande.
Safe-T-Cell
Toyota's Safe-T-Cell is your protective cocoon from the outside - absorbing crash energy and deflecting it away from the cabin to help protect Prado's occupants. For extra collision protection, Prado's 'Dynamic Side Intrusion Protection System' includes strengthening beams in each side door, which form a vital part of the safety system.
Collapsible steering column
Prado's steering column is designed to collapse on impact during collision, compressing downward, forward and out of the way.
ABS brakes
Stay in control during emergency situations with Prado's ABS Anti-lock Braking System. Standard on Grande, with ABS you will never again screech to a stop no matter how heavily you jump on the brake pedal.
Traction Control
DAT's traction control means your Prado is sure-footed in any situation, Toyota's Generation II Traction Control (TRC) helps to maintain grip under harsh acceleration by using sensors which apply the brake to any wheel about to slip and delivering more power to the other wheels with greater traction.
Vehicle Stability / Swerve Control (VSC)
Using DAT technology, VSC forms part of Toyota's revolution in vehicle safety, Vehicle Stability Control senses oversteer (tail slide) and understeer (nose pushing forward) when turning. VSC alters the amount of power delivered to each wheel to help keep you driving safely.
Hill-start Assist (HAC)
Forget those hill starts you practised for your driving instructor. Using DAT technology, HAC does the hard work for you making getaways up hills seem a breeze. As soon as the driver's foot moves from the brake to the accelerator, HAC keeps the vehicle stationary using the ABS system until the accelerator is pressed.
Vehicle Security System (VSS)
Feel confident that when you leave your Prado in the street, it will be waiting for you when you return. Toyota's Vehicle Security System (VSS) provides real protection while you're away including flashing indicators to confirm locking/unlocking, siren and arming options - all from the remote central-door locking button attached to your keys.
