Anti-lock brakes help increase steering control even under hard braking, while Brake Assist [1] applies increased braking force when the system detects an emergency stop.
In the event of a severe impact, the ES 350's body is reinforced with crumple zones and side-impact door beams.
The ES features up to 10 airbags [2], including a twin-chamber front passenger airbag, as well as front and rear side curtain airbags.
The available Pre-Collision System (PCS) [3] helps determine if a collision is inevitable, then prepares the Brake Assist [1] system and retracts the front seatbelts.
The Dual-swivel Adaptive Front Lighting System allows both headlamps to turn, providing better illumination around curves.
Vehicle Stability Control (VSC) [4] and Traction Control (TRAC) work together to help correct a loss of traction during turns or adverse conditions.
The Direct Tire Pressure Monitor [5] continually checks each individual tire, then notifies the driver in case of critically low pressure.
