Safety Outstanding safety Verso has been awarded the maximum 5-star vehicle safety rating (2010), as a further testament to Toyota’s dedication to the safety and protection of drivers, passengers and pedestrians alike.
Airbags In the event of a collision, Verso ensures you and your family are protected with seven separate airbags.
<br /><br />
These include SRS driver and passenger airbags with proximity and rate of impact sensors to ensure proper deployment - helping to prevent injuries. SRS side airbags, SRS curtain shield airbags and a driver's knee airbag are also included as standard.
Active Headrest On impact, the passenger's lower back is pressed hard against the seatback. A built-in unit triggers the Active Headrest to move diagonally upward and forward to catch the back of the head. This alleviates neck impact and helps reduce the risk of whiplash in the event of a rear-end collision.
Active safety Verso comes with a host of active safety functions to ensure that you stay in control. Traction Control (TRC) will take action if you lose grip on the road, redistributing power to each wheel.
<br /><br />
Meanwhile Vehicle Stability Control+ (VSC+) will automatically adjust steering and engine output where needed to help control Verso if it starts to slide or skid. Both are standard on all Verso grades.
Headlamps & LED stop lights Ultra-bright, high beam Halogen headlamps provide an improved spread of illumination - with an even more powerful, low energy, High Intensity Discharge (HID) Xenon* option on the Verso Premium grade. These distinctive headlamps are equipped with an automatic beam levelling control to reduce the tendency for high levels of glare.
<br /><br />
At the rear, energy-saving LED combination lights are standard - cutting down on CO<span class="sub">2</span> emissions.
<br /><br />
Brake lights also respond more quickly and at a speed of around 100 km/h, give an extra six metres braking distance to the car behind.
<br /><br /><em>*Optional on Verso Sol.</em>
Seat belts Verso seat belts have been designed with integral pre-tensioners and force limiters that help to reduce injuries to the chest area. The seats also feature special ISOFIX anchor points to safely and conveniently secure child seats.
Brakes Verso's advanced braking system features Anti-lock Braking (ABS) to help you maintain control by adjusting the brake force between all four wheels to match the level grip of each one. Electronic Brakeforce Distribution (EBD) complements this by optimising brake force distribution between each wheel.
<br /><br />
Both help prevent the wheels from locking - allowing you to steer around obstacles.
<br /><br />
Brake Assist (BA) also automatically supports emergency braking by measuring how hard the brake pedal is depressed and adjusting brake force as appropriate.
