Lexus RX 300:   Safety Features

RX 300

WHILE A LEXUS IS OFTEN TREASURED, ITS CARGO IS UNDENIABLY PRICELESS.
The RX 300 is designed with a high-rigidity steel body and impact-absorbing front and rear crumple zones. Ultimately, the RX300 is designed to help protect your most cherished possessions.
 

STANDARD ON ALL RX 300s: PEACE OF MIND.
The RX 300 is equipped with both dual front and front seat-mounted side-impact airbags (SRS)  because there’s no sense in having luxury if you can’t relax.

WHILE IT’S COMFORTING TO HAVE AIRBAGS, IT’S BETTER TO AVOID SITUATIONS WHERE YOU’D NEED THEM.
The RX 300’s Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) helps prevent the wheels from locking up or skidding. It also makes it easier for you to steer while braking.
ABS adds computerized control to the brakes to help prevent wheels from locking up or skidding. ABS helps the driver to steer away from trouble while still slowing the vehicle. It can be useful on slippery surfaces. ABS is standard on all Lexus vehicles.

LIKE A MODEL EXECUTIVE, BRAKES SHOULD PERFORM WELL UNDER PRESSURE.
The RX 300 is equipped with front vented disc brakes to help reduce the chance of brake fade and for better braking performance. 
Ventilated Disc Brakes are solid disc brakes that use a solid disc or rotor. Ventilated disc brakes add special vents inside the disc (you can see them along the edge of the disc). These vents help move cooling air through the disc for better braking performance and less chance of brake fade.

DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHTS ALSO INCLUDED. (AS IF IT WEREN’T ALREADY THE CENTER OF ATTENTION.)
Daytime Running Lights improve the RX’s visibility during daylight hours, which increases passenger safety.
  

LET IT SNOW, LET IT SNOW, LET IT SNOW. PLEASE.
The RX 300 comes equipped with mud-and-snow rated radial tires for maximum grip on a variety of surfaces, no matter how frightful the weather is
