Vehicle Stability Control & Traction Control
Advanced technology for precision driving in difficult conditions.
For enhanced safety, all Prados come complete with Toyota’s Vehicle Stability Control (VSC) and Traction Control (TRC). VSC automatically adjusts engine output and brake force when the vehicle experiences understeer and oversteer skidding while cornering. TRC improves your car’s contact with the road in poor driving conditions when you're accelerating, cornering or during a standing start.
AB-i: Active Braking with intelligence
Prado's threefold braking system ensures you stop quickly and stay in control when it really counts.
The Prado’s Active Braking with Intelligence helps the driver with braking, by generating a larger braking force if the brake pedal is suddenly and rapidly pressed. Prado’s AB-i system incorporates Anti-skid Braking System (ABS), Brake Assist (BA) and Electronic Brake-force Distribution (EBD) and is standard across the range.
Downhill Assist Control & Hill-Start assist Control
Two advanced technologies for maintaining low speed on descents and ensuring the smoothest hill starts.
Downhill Assist Control (available on automatic models only) automatically controls the brakes to maintain a constant low speed when descending slopes helping reduce wheel lock, while, Hill-start Assist Control makes rollbacks a thing of the past by automatically applying the brakes for approx 5 seconds when starting off on an incline.
Front and rear parking sensors^
For safer and easier parking – helping to avoid expensive scrapes.
The new-generation Prado’s front and rear parking sensors make reversing and parking safer and easier. With up to 8 sensors (4 front and 4 rear), they detect nearby obstacles and alert you with a buzzer and visual warning on the Multi-Information Display to help you avoid those expensive dings. The 8-sensor system is standard on VX, Kakadu & ZR models only. The GXL & SX offer 4 rear parking sensors only.
^ParkAssist is designed as a driver assist device only and should not be used as a substitute for skilled driving and safe parking practices. The area into which the vehicle is to be reversed/parked must be visually monitored by the driver while parking.
Rear View Camera^
For improved safety and visibility when reversing.
The Prado’s Rear View Camera provides a wide area of vision immediately behind the vehicle, which is displayed on the Multi-Information Display or Electro Multi-Vision (EMV) screen while reversing. This means you can easily see children, animals, low walls or shopping trolleys that are close to the back of the car.
Standard on all models except GX.

*EMV display only available in Kakadu & ZR models.
7 SRS airbags
The Prado is built to protect with front, side and curtain airbags.
Every Prado is equipped with 7 SRS airbags that help shield the driver and passengers in the event of a collision. Both front seats are protected with front and side airbags plus a driver's knee airbag to shield the driver’s legs. Meanwhile, curtain shield airbags cover all rows of seats protecting everyone inside.
Pre-Collision Safety System*
Prado's Pre-Collision Safety System takes proactive measures to avoid and reduce collision, damage and injury.
Using the millimetre wave radar in the grille, the system calculates the distance and relative speed of the vehicle in front and will warn you if an accident is likely – so you can slow down. If an accident becomes unavoidable the system snaps into action – the brake is applied and the front seatbelts are retracted – reducing the impact on the car and the people inside it.
Available on Kakadu and ZR optional Cruise pack only.
*Pre-Collision Safety System is designed as a driver assist device only and should not be used as a substitute for skilled driving. The driver should continue to monitor the road ahead.
Radar Cruise Control*
Radar Cruise Control is cruise control that keeps a safe distance between you and the vehicle in front.
It automatically detects traffic in your path and ensures that the Prado maintains a preset distance, according to your settings. It slows down and accelerates as required and reverts back to your original cruising speed, when the vehicle in front of you moves out of your lane.
Available on Kakadu and ZR optional Cruise pack only.
