2011 Toyota Camry 4 DR FWD Early Release Safety Features

Here are the safety features that come as standard on the 2011 Toyota Camry 4 DR FWD Early Release

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.

Standard
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.

"sunroof randomly exploded. i was driving approximately 40mph down a city road on 5/18/22 and the sunroof exploded dropping a 4x8 inches worth of glass shards and fracturing the rest of the glass. there was no debris, rough driving conditions or unlevel road when it happened. i was relatively safe when it happened as there was not any traffic, but if it were on the highway in traffic it could have caused issue. i have not done any inspections by manufacturer, insurance, etc. i was not sure how accountability works with it breaking for no reason, so i was just planning to buy a used sunroof and replacing it. there were no warning, just a random bang when it exploded."
