Advanced Pre-Collision System (APCS) with Driver Attention Monitor
Multimedia
The available Advanced Pre-Collision System [1] in the LS 600h L features the world's first Driver Attention Monitor. Using an infrared camera that is designed to monitor the direction of the driver's face while the vehicle is in motion, the system can sound a series of warning beeps and, if necessary, briefly apply the brakes to alert the driver if an object is detected ahead while the driver is facing away from the road. Once a collision is determined to be unavoidable, the system then preps the Brake Assist [2] for increased braking effectiveness once the brakes are applied and retracts the front seatbelts to help reduce collision damage.

[1]The Advanced Pre-Collision System is designed to help reduce the crash speed and damage in certain frontal collisions only. The included Driver Attention Monitor is designed to alert the driver if a potential hazard is detected ahead and the driver’s face appears to be turned away. They are not collision-avoidance systems and are not substitutes for safe and attentive driving. System effectiveness depends on many factors. Please see your Owner’s Manual for further information.
[2]Brake Assist is designed to help the driver take full advantage of the benefits of ABS. It is not a substitute for safe driving practices. Braking effectiveness also depends on proper brake-system maintenance and tire and road conditions.
