1. Toyota announces new safety
technology – crash-proof cars!
Toyota has always been a leader in car safety. The Star Safety System is one of the best on the market,
but Toyota doesn’t stop there. It has continued to take car safety above and beyond anything we could
have imagined. Right now, testing is currently going on in Japan on crash-proof cars! These cars are
alerted by sensors and transmitters in intersections to avoid accidents. Cars will even be able to
communicate with one another, to be sure that they don’t get too close while driving. Half of car accidents
occur in intersections, so it’s highly anticipated this technology will make a difference in the number of
crashes. The technology is called Intelligent Transport System and will be tested on Japanese streets by
2014. So far, Toyota has not released a date for US testing. At Toyota of North Charlotte, we are
confident it will happen.
Find the Star Safety System on new Toyota near Charlotte!
The most current safety technology you’ll find on an N Charlotte Toyota is the Star Safety System. Toyota
has taken six luxury safety features and combined them into smart system. It features Traction Control,
Vehicle Stability Control, Brake Assist, Anti-lock Braking System, Electronic Brake-force Distribution and
Smart Stop Technology. The goal of this system is for the new Toyota near Charlotte to regain control in
an emergency situation.
Learn about the different technologies the Star Safety System utilizes!
One of the most important elements is the Traction Control. It’s the first step when the new Toyota in N
Charlotte gets into trouble. If you hit the brakes hard, then the accelerator, the Traction Control will kick in
to help the driver stay in control. It stops the wheels from spinning on slippery roads.

2. The Electronic Brake-force Distribution is very advanced technology. It transfers weight onto different tires
when pushing on the brake pedal. This way, the new Toyota distributes the weight evenly throughout the
car preventing skidding or hydroplaning. The Anti-Lock Braking System also cuts down on spinning
wheels, and allows them to roll again for full control.
When people get into car accidents, braking time can be delayed. Maybe you’re afraid to slam on the
brakes very hard or because of the situation your reaction time isn’t as fast as it normally is. Fear can kick
in and slow the car’s performance. But in a new Toyota near Charlotte, the Brake Assist prevents this
from happening. This technology can predict an emergency stop, and apply full brake pressure no matter
how hard or soft you step on the brake.
There can also be times where the accelerator and the brake pedal are both being pressed. In this
situation, the Smart Stop Technology steps in and reduces engine power to zero. It cuts off the power so
that the new Toyota comes to a complete stop. It’s just another reason why you should choose an N
Charlotte Toyota.
