Safety Features

2007 Toyota Camry 4-DR. w/SAB Safety Features

Here are the safety features that come as standard on the 2007 Toyota Camry 4-DR. w/SAB

Electronic Stability Control (ESC)

ESC is an advanced safety feature in vehicles designed to help drivers maintain control during challenging driving conditions. By continuously monitoring various factors such as steering angle, vehicle speed, and individual wheel speeds, ESC can detect and reduce the risk of skidding or loss of control. It achieves this by automatically applying brakes to specific wheels to stabilize the vehicle.

Optional
Forward Collision Warning (FCW)

Forward Collision Warning (FCW) is a safety feature in vehicles that helps prevent frontal collisions by alerting the driver of an imminent collision with a vehicle or obstacle ahead. Using sensors such as radar or cameras, FCW monitors the distance and speed of vehicles in front, and if it detects a potential collision, it provides visual and/or auditory warnings to prompt the driver to take evasive action.

No
Lane Departure Warning (LDW)

Lane Departure Warning (LDW) is a safety feature in vehicles that alerts drivers when their vehicle unintentionally drifts out of its lane without signaling. Utilizing cameras or sensors to monitor lane markings on the road, LDW detects when the vehicle crosses these lines and triggers visual, auditory, or haptic alerts to notify the driver of potential lane departure.

Complaint:
"i was driving along and without warning the speedometer became erratic and then went to zero. as i was moving on a main road (limited access) i could not safely stop right away. several other items on the instrument panel began to operate erratically. (these other items would not be considered safety items) before reaching an exit or other safe place the speedometer began to operate again. i got off on a general main street and all seemed ok in a few minutes the problem returned and the speedometer went to zero again after becoming erratic first. i can not trust the speed reading on a regular road or any road i may be driving to fast for some limiting condition or posting and not realize it. i am concerned for my safety and that of others. this has happened several times and then goes away but i can not trust the reading"
