Engineered for the future.

The 2013 Prius was named a 2013
Top Safety Pick by the Insurance
Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS). 6
To earn this coveted designation,
a vehicle must have "good" ratings in
four Institute tests: high-speed front
and side crash tests at low speeds,
a rollover test, plus evaluations of
seat/head restraints for protection
against neck injuries in rear impacts.

The 2014 Prius comes standard with the Star Safety System,
safety features designed to help keep you out of harm's way. On Prius, the system
includes Enhanced Vehicle Stability Control
Brake System
Smart Stop Technology
Smart Stop Technology
At speeds greater than five miles per hour, when the accelerator is depressed first and the brakes are then applied firmly
for longer than one-half second, SST is designed to help the driver bring the vehicle to a stop.
Enhanced Vehicle Stability Control
To help compensate for a loss of traction while cornering and help prevent sideways slipping, Enhanced VSC adjusts
engine power, braking and steering torque-assist control to help the vehicle follow the direction in which it is being steered.
Anti-Lock Brake System
ABS helps to prevent brakes from locking up by pulsing brake pressure to each wheel to help you stay in control in
emergency braking situations.
Active Front Headrests
In certain lower-speed, rear-end collisions, sensors in the lumbar region of the front seats trigger the movement of the
headrests to help position them to the back of the occupants' heads.
