RV FEATURE
SAFETY
IDAS is described by Isuzu as a comprehensive suite of safety and convenience features that “ dramatically improves the level of safety for all occupants , pedestrians and other road users ”. It is standard on all variants of the new MU-X .
At the heart of IDAS is a 3D stereo camera that can precisely detect and measure distance , size , velocity and the depth of vehicles , pedestrians , etc . This system allows the MU-X to detect more subjects with lower risk of missdetection and take necessary countermeasures to mitigate risk . Among these features are autonomous emergency breaking with turn assist , and a forward collision warning system , which intervenes when the vehicle detects certain dangers . The
traffic sign recognition function , which has been calibrated for Australian roads , scans the road for speed and other traffic signs , and relays the information to a 4.2in in-cab display .
The lane departure prevention , lane departure warning , and emergency lane-keeping systems will , depending on the circumstances , either alert the driver when the vehicle is venturing out of the lane or will actively steer the MU-X back towards the centre of the lane at speeds above 60km / h .
Other safety features include eight airbags , post-collision braking , blind spot monitoring , anti-lock braking – and much more . The LS- T even has a tyre pressure monitoring system .
