2017 Toyota Corolla Active Safety Features
The Star Safety System™ is a suite of active safety features that are included with the Anti-lock Brake System. Enhanced Vehicle Stability Control and Traction Control help keep you in control when driving across slippery roads. When a wheel slips, these systems will apply brake pressure while reducing the engine speed and redistributing torque to keep the vehicle on its intended path.
The Toyota Corolla also features Electronic Brake-force Distribution, a feature that varies the amount of brake pressure applied to the front and rear wheels to help provide better conditions. The Brake Assist helps provide more brake pressure during an emergency situation. The Smart Stop Technology recognizes when you’re braking in a panic and it’ll apply enough pressure to get the vehicle to stop.

The Toyota Corolla was designed to protect with its front and rear energy-absorbing crumple zones and side-impact door beams. The interior also features an energy absorbing collapsible steering column and a head-impact protection structure. As for passenger protection, the Toyota Corolla features an 8-airbag system.
Toyota Safety Sense™ P
The 2017 Toyota Corolla now comes standard with driver-assisting technology with the Toyota Safety Sense™ P bundle. This bundle includes the Pre-Collision System with Pedestrian Detection, which uses radar sensors mounted in the front to detect any objects in your path and will notify you if a collision is imminent. The Lane Departure Alert with Steering Assist can help prevent your vehicle from drifting out of the lane by providing a warning while adjusting the steering wheel to keep you on your path.
This system also features Automatic High Beams, which senses when natural or ambient light is decreasing and activates the high beams to provide you with a clear view of the road ahead. The vehicle also features Dynamic Radar Cruise Control. This feature lets you choose both the speed and distance from the vehicle ahead. The distance set will be maintained regardless of the traffic ahead.
