Dynamic Radar Cruise Control is just one part of the Toyota Safety Sense program, which comes standard on all trim levels—even base models—of any Toyota Highlander. We believe you shouldn't have to pay more for safety features; everyone in your family should have the same access to the newest safety technology available, regardless of what your monthly car budget might allow.
That makes Toyota vehicles like the Camry, RAV4, Prius, Tundra, Corolla, Highlander and others all especially good values. When safety is included in base model pricing, everyone wins.
Intended for highways and similar to “constant speed” cruise control, Dynamic Radar Cruise Control (DRCC) lets you drive at a preset speed. DRCC uses vehicle-to-vehicle distance control, which adjusts your speed, to help you maintain a preset distance from vehicles ahead of you that are driving at a slower speed. DRCC uses a front-grille-mounted radar and an in-vehicle camera to detect vehicles and their distance. If a driver is traveling slower than you, or within your preset range, DRCC will automatically slow your vehicle down without deactivating cruise control. If DRCC determines you need to slow down more, an audio and visual alert notifies you and brakes are applied. When there’s no longer a vehicle driving slower than your set speed in front of you, DRCC will then accelerate and regular cruise control will resume.
The Pre-Collision System with Pedestrian Detection is just one part of the Toyota Safety Sense program, which comes standard on all trim levels—even base models—of any Toyota Corolla. We believe you shouldn't have to pay more for safety features; everyone in your family should have the same access to the newest safety technology available, regardless of what your monthly car budget might allow.

The Pre-Collision System with Pedestrian Detection (PCS w/PD) uses an in-vehicle camera and radar to help detect a vehicle or a pedestrian in front of you, the PCS w/PD can help you mitigate or avoid a potential collision. If the system determines that a frontal collision is likely, it prompts you to take action using audio and visual alerts. If you notice the potential collision and apply the brakes, PCS w/PD may apply additional force using Brake Assist (BA). If you don’t brake in time, it may automatically apply the brakes to reduce your speed, helping to minimize the likelihood of a frontal collision or reduce its severity.
Automatic High Beams is just one part of the Toyota Safety Sense program, which comes standard on all trim levels—even base models—of any Toyota Tundra. We believe you shouldn't have to pay more for safety features; everyone in your family should have the same access to the newest safety technology available, regardless of what your monthly car budget might allow.
That makes Toyota vehicles like the Camry, RAV4, Prius, Tundra, Corolla, Highlander and others all especially good values. When safety is included in base model pricing, everyone wins.
Automatic High Beams (AHB) are a safety system designed to help you see more clearly at night—without blinding other drivers. Designed to activate at speeds above 25 mph, AHB rely on an in-vehicle camera to help detect the headlights of oncoming vehicles and taillights of preceding vehicles, then automatically toggle between high and low beams accordingly to provide the appropriate amount of light. By using high beams more frequently, the system may allow earlier detection of pedestrians and obstacles.
Why were 9 Toyota vehicles named “Top Safety Picks” by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety in 2017? Because we design them with the knowledge that safety is more than features—it's the lives of the people who drive our cars. For us, the journey towards a safe road never ends. This belief, along with our collaborative research efforts, drives us to create advancements and innovations in safety that have helped (and continue to help) prevent crashes and protect people.

The optional Blind Spot Monitor (BSM) is designed to heighten your awareness on the road by alerting you when a vehicle enters a blind spot on either side. Rear Cross-Traffic Alert (RCTA) works similarly. When you slowly back out of a driveway or parking spot, it provides audible and visual indicators to warn you of approaching vehicles.

Lane Departure Alert with Steering Assist is designed with road safety in mind. With a front camera and on-car sensors, the all-new 2018 Camry will detect the visible lines on the road surface. When the car has unintentionally veered—veering without use of a turn signal—the car will alert you with a visual on the dash as well as sound a series of alerts.
Steering Assist can also help to make a series of corrective steering inputs to move the car gently back to the center of the driving lane, keeping everyone on board as safe as possible. Lane Departure Alert with Steering Assistant is just one feature which comes standard as part of Toyota’s Safety Sense Program.
One person’s actions on the roads can affect so many lives. Making sure our drivers and passengers have the best tools and information available to them is important. According to OSHA, drivers make more than 200 decisions during every single mile traveled. An average commute of just 5 miles can have a driver making more than 2,000 driving decisions every day.
Road Safety is a growing concern in Vermont. According to Vermont State Police, 2017 has been the deadliest on record since 2013, with 69 reported fatalities on Vermont roadways. Nationwide, NHTSA reports that 3,477 lives were lost in 2015 due to distracted driving alone.
In May of 2017, Heritage Toyota had the opportunity to attend and document the Mt. Abraham Union High School Safety Fair. Amazed by the amount of passion that both students and educators had for the event and the topic of safety in the community, we were inspired to create a series of videos, helping to tell the story of how we can keep teenagers safe. Realizing that it takes a focused and unified community to teach safety, Heritage Toyota is proud to be a part of the conversation. As many officials said during the safety fair: it takes many sectors coming together to teach safety, not just one part. It takes the school, first responders, parents, local businesses and more to teach an impactful lesson. We are proud to be a local business stepping forward to start the conversation in all Vermont communities.
Heritage Toyota is proud to be able to offer all schools and youth organizations in Vermont a $250 grant to hold their own safety fair events in the 2017-2018 school year.
We believe in the value of offering a dedicated time for students to focus solely on how to keep themselves safe for life.
The $250 safety grant is used for hosting a safety fair at any Vermont school and can be used however the host school chooses to execute their safety fair. The school can use the grant to pay for speaker fees, cover lunch costs, create volunteer t-shirts, or any other use - as long as the grant goes toward hosting a safety fair and educating Vermont students.
As Matt Tatro, educator at Mt. Abraham Union High School states in our documentary, “I could tell a student what it’s like to be in an accident. I could try to give them that knowledge, but unless they see it, they really don’t know what you’re talking about.”
That’s the value of being able to bring a mock crash scene, presentations, workshops and student activities to each high school in Vermont. To be able to have each student in Vermont understand what it is like to be in an accident, and actively engage in new behaviors because of a safety fair is invaluable.
Getting started is easy. To apply for a Heritage Toyota grant, fill out our simple form to get the ball rolling. The Governor’s Safety Program as well as the Vermont Highway Safety Alliance offer a multitude of materials and support for planning the logistics of the Safety Fair.
We hope that every school in Vermont will take advantage of our offer and allow us the help keep every person safe on the road.
