LS 460 2007 - world car of the year

Hand craftsmanship meshes with high technology for a richer feeling of opulence.

Radar technology watches out for your safety

Discreetly integrated within the front grille is an advanced millimetre wave radar sensor. It relays data to the Pre-Collision safety System (PCS), which can predict some possible collisions with oncoming obstacles. It then retracts the slack in the seatbelts, and adjusts the brake controls for maximum braking performance, helping to minimise the impact of a collision.

The reassurance of Pre-Collision safety

For added peace of mind a Pre-Collision safety System (PCS) can help reduce collision injury and damage. A radar sensor in the front grille constantly scans for objects in front of the car. If the system determines that a collision is unavoidable, it retracts the front seatbelts, while Brake Assist increases your braking force to help reduce collision speed.

Brake Hold keeps you secure

To keep you from moving while stopped on a level road, a brake hold function maintains brake pressure on all four wheels, keeping the car stationary. The brakes are automatically released the moment you touch the accelerator pedal.

Acting ahead for your safety

You're embraced by the reassurance of a comprehensive package of technologies includes Vehicle Stability Control (VSC), Traction Control (TRC). The braking system combines an Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) with Brake Assist (BA) and Electronic Brake-force Distribution (EBD).

The confidence of Vehicle Dynamics Integrated Management

Should you encounter challenging road conditions, an advanced Vehicle Dynamics Integrated Management (VDIM) system offers a greater sense of control. It integrates the braking, throttle and steering controls, for enhanced drivability.

A comprehensive 10 airbag package

In the event of a collision, there are dual stage front and side SRS airbags for the front seat passengers, while SRS knee airbags help protect the lower limbs of the front seat passengers. SRS rear side airbags help protect the rear outer passengers, and curtain shield airbags help reduce shocks to the chest and head of the driver, front and rear passengers.
