5-Star Euro NCAP safety rating

Proace Verso has been awarded the maximum 5-star vehicle safety rating (2016) from Euro NCAP. This independent assessment programme evaluates the safety performance of new cars. Vehicles are awarded a score from one to five stars. Categories assessed are adult protection, child/rear protection, pedestrian protection and safety assist. This car's performance is a further testament to Toyota’s dedication to the safety and protection of drivers, passengers and pedestrians alike.

Automatic High Beam

Automatic High Beam is designed to optimise visibility during night driving for all road users. A camera detects the lights of oncoming vehicles and leading traffic whilst also monitoring the brightness of streetlights. It switches automatically between high and low beam for safer night-time driving.

Adjustable Speed Limiter (ASL)

This function is a control system that suppresses acceleration above a vehicle speed (speed limit) pre-set by the driver. Acting as a guide, it controls engine output so that the vehicle speed does not exceed that of the pre-set speed limit while the driver is pushing on the accelerator pedal. The pre-set speed is shown on the combimeter display and will begin flashing when the vehicle reaches this speed.

Adaptive Cruise Control

Toyota Safety Sense’s Adaptive Cruise Control keeps a minimum preset distance from the vehicle in front. If this distance falls, the system reduces the speed. If the distance increases again, it will gradually accelerate until the vehicle returns to your chosen cruising speed.

Pre-Collision System with Pedestrian Detection

Pre-Collision System* with Pedestrian Detection combines a millimetre-wave radar with a camera to detect other vehicles in the road ahead. When the possibility of collision is detected the driver is alerted with audio and visual warnings. Brakes are activated, reducing the vehicle’s speed if over 30 km/h or even bringing it to a halt if the car is travelling at a speed of 30 km/h or less. If the driver fails to brake in time the brakes automatically engage to prevent or mitigate a collision. In addition to vehicle detection, early detection of pedestrians is also made possible.

Blind Spot Monitor (BSM)

The Blind Spot Monitor system allows the driver to manoeuvre more safely during lane changes. If the rear-mounted radar sensors detect a vehicle in your side or rear blind spot, a warning indicator will illuminate on the appropriate side mirror. Should you indicate to change lanes and a vehicle is in your blind spot, the warning indicators will flsh to alert you that a lane change should be avoided.

Road Sign Assist

Road Sign Assist monitors the road signs ahead, displaying useful information such as the current speed limit or overtaking restrictions in clear view on the colour TFT cockpit display. The system also provides a visual warning if you are not following the road sign indication.

Lane Departure Alert

Using a camera to detect the lane markings in the road ahead, Lane Departure Alert will alert the driver with audible and visual warnings if the vehicle starts to deviate from its lane without the turn indicator being applied at speeds above 60km/h – the driver can then take corrective action.

Driver Attention Alert

This function monitors the vehicle’s position within the lane and the driver’s steering operations in order to detect vehicle sway, which tends to occur when the driver’s ability to concentrate on driving deteriorates due to factors such as drowsiness, inattention or distraction. The driver will be alerted prior to instances such as deviating from the road.

Vehicle Stability Control (VSC)

VSC automatically activates each individual brake as needed and controls engine output to help maintain stability and prevent skidding when turning sharply or cornering on slippery road surfaces.

Toyota Traction Select

TTS offers superior non-skid performance compared to a normal 2WD vehicle and works by utilising both brakes and the engine throttle control. TTS can be set via a selector on the dashboard to provide enhanced grip in challenging driving conditions such as snow, ice, mud and sand, resulting in increased safety and easier manoeuvrability.

Rear-view camera

Reverse more safely using the rear-view camera. The clear colour image displayed on screen* helps you spot hidden hazards and park with ease.

* Pro-Touch only. If not equipped, the image is displayed in the rear-view mirror.

Panoramic View Monitor

Using the rear camera, the Panoramic View Monitor shows the vehicle's surroundings during a manoeuvre. An image from above your vehicle in its close surroundings is displayed clearly on the Toyota Pro-Touch multimedia system screen in real time and as the manoeuvre progresses.
