2006 Toyota Landcruiser 4-DR Safety Features

Here are the safety features that come as standard on the 2006 Toyota Landcruiser 4-DR

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.

Complaint:
"brake line, part number 47326-60340 burst without warning when driving. the particular brake line part is above frame rail near firewall. the particular brake line part goes from brake master cylinder to brake fluid fitting on the vehice frame. it is buried under hood, not easy to inspect. part of reason it is difficult to visually inspect is that there are "loops" in line to allow for flexibility between vehicle body and chassis. the vehicle is equiped with electrically boosted braking system. under this leak condition, the electric boost functionality will be lost, the brake system operates in mechanical back-up mode. brake pressure is generated solely from driver foot. due to leak in one circuit, there is no brake pressure in one circuit of brake system. the combination of non boost-assisted braking and one circuit deactivate result in extremely demolished braking ability from driver."
