The launch of the 3rd Generation Prius brings many new features to the vehicle including a 50 MPG rating. We have highlighted some of the best features. Please visit Toyota.com to see which features are available on the different trim levels. Solar Panel Roof As the temperature rises, energy from the sun is absorbed and the available Solar Powered Ventilation System activates, circulating cooler outside air throughout Pruis. Touch Tracer Display The driver can control temperature, audio volume, and trip data all from the steering wheel. Intelligent Parking Assist Prius measures the desired spot as it drives by and then reverses into the space in one motion. The driver then applies the brake and the appropriate time. Lane Keep Assist A small camera located next to the rear view mirror helps monitor if the car is in it’s own lane. If it detects a inadvertent lane departure the system issues an audible tone and flashing warning screen and provides slight torque to the steering wheel to notify the driver that corrective action may be required. Pre-Collision Safety System When a frontal collision is unavoidable, the available Pre-Collision System (PCS) can take action, to automatically activate the pre-collision brake and retract the seatbelts. Safety Connect Directly connects to an operator for assistance in situations involving collisions, stolen vehicle location, medical team calling and roadside assistance.
