This alleviates neck impact and helps reduce the risk of whiplash in the event of a rear-end collision.
Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) The Avensis is fitted with seven SRS airbags, including a driver’s knee airbag. The driver and front passenger’s (twin chamber) inflatable SRS airbags have proximity and rate-of-impact sensors that ensure proper deployment to help prevent injuries.
