2020 Toyota 4Runner Active Safety Features

When it comes to active safety features, the Toyota 4Runner is prepared—and that’s thanks to the Star Safety System™, a suite of six active safety features. These features keep you, your passengers, and the cars sharing the road a lot safer.

Here are some of the included active safety systems…

• Vehicle Stability Control: This prevents slippage when understeering occurs or when there’s a strong oversteer when sharply turning a corner.
• Traction Control: This prevents slipping of the wheels when the gas pedal has been depressed in an excessive manner, particularly when accelerating on slippery pavement or in poor weather conditions.
• Anti-lock Brake System (ABS): This system stops the wheels from locking when the brakes are applied in a forceful manner, or when pressing on the brakes while on a slippery surface.
• Electronic Brake-force Distribution: With help from the ABS, brake force will be distributed evenly between the front and rear wheels with this technology.

2020 Toyota 4Runner Passive Safety Features

If you’re going to be doing a fair amount of off-roading in the Toyota 4Runner, it’s nice to know you’re backed by a set of passive safety features.

This includes the Advanced Airbag System, which features driver and front passenger TAP (Thorax, Abdomen, Pelvis) front seat-mounted side airbags. The Roll-sensing Side Curtain Airbags are an added safety benefit, as well.

If the Toyota 4Runner is struck from the side, the side-impact door beams located inside each door can absorb the impact and reduce the chances of another vehicle intruding into the cabin. The standard Tire Pressure Monitor System is another convenient feature, letting you know when the tire pressure may need an adjustment.

2020 Toyota 4Runner Standard Toyota Safety Sense™ P Suite

Not only does the 2020 4Runner feature a ton of smart safety engineering, it’s also designed with a standard Toyota Safety Sense™ P suite. This safety system includes a whole set of features that help your vehicle react automatically to possible accidents.

Here are the features you will see in this suite…

• Pre-Collision System with Pedestrian Detection: With this feature, your vehicle can use sensors to detect when you’re coming too close to another vehicle. This system will even watch out for pedestrians crossing the road.
• Lane Departure Alert with Sway Warning System: This feature will detect when you’re moving outside of your lane and provide an alert to let you know to correct your steering.
• Automatic High Beams: If you’re driving at night, this system can automatically turn off your high beams for oncoming traffic to improve everyone’s visibility.
• Dynamic Radar Cruise Control: This upgraded cruise control feature will reduce your speed automatically to keep you at a safe distance behind traffic. You’ll be able to stay in cruise control for longer with this system.
