Airbags
Some of the 2017 Toyota Tundra safety features have been around for a while, and vehicle drivers are entirely accustomed to them; however, those standard features have been expanded over the years. For example, airbags were originally standard for the driver's seat only; they eventually became standard on the front passenger side.
In this year’s pickup truck, there’s an advanced airbag system that comes standard, and includes seat-mounted side airbags, driver and front passenger knee airbags, and front and rear roll-sensing side curtain airbags.
Additional Tundra Safety Features
Other 2017 Toyota Tundra safety components are relatively recent and also very welcome. The Tire Pressure Monitor System, for instance, indicates when tire pressure is low, which can prevent the inconvenience and hazards involved with a flat tire on the highway.
Another feature that drivers have quickly come to love is the parking assist, which helps you maneuver into tight spaces on a city street or in a crowded parking lot. The system is able to measure spaces and automatically steer the vehicle in.
The 2017 Toyota Tundra also includes Daytime Running Lights; this component has proven to be significantly helpful in making vehicles more visible on the road. They stay on as long as the engine is running.
But the Star Safety System™ probably consists of the most impressive safety features in this year’s Toyota Tundra. This system is a suite of driver-assistant features that includes Vehicle Stability Control, Traction Control, Anti-lock Brake System with Electronic Brake-force Distribution, Brake Assist, and Smart Stop Technology®, all of which will give you extra peace of mind, no matter where you’re traveling.
Recognition
Toyota has been recognized as a top-of-the-line organization when it comes to vehicle safety. The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, for instance, has recognized the company in recent years with awards for the addition of new attributes, and has given the 2017 Toyota Tundra the highest Good rating in almost all of its categories.
