2017 Toyota Camry Safety Features

The Toyota Camry has a variety of different features that not only provide protection, but also aid you when you’re trying to avoid a collision. This sedan features Enhanced Vehicle Stability Control and Traction Control, which are a part of the four-wheel anti-lock braking system. These systems detect wheel slip and provide enough brake pressure to prevent a further loss of traction so the vehicle can remain on its intended path.

As far as passenger protection goes, the Toyota Camry is equipped with a 10-airbag system. The front advanced airbags will actively measure the force of impact so they can adjust their inflation pressure to provide sufficient protection while reducing the risk of airbag related injuries. The Toyota Camry also includes front and rear seat-mounted side airbags, front and rear side curtain airbags, and even knee airbags for both the driver and front passenger.
