Covering a host of technologies
dedicated to making sure you avoid problems
on the road, active safety includes TCS/ESP, Multilink Rear Axle, DSR, the new SEAT Toledo's
leading edge brake technologies: Anti lock
Braking System (ABS) with Electronic Braking
Assistant (EBA).
The ABS is designed to prevent the
wheels from locking up during braking. Even
under emergency braking conditions, the car
remains in control, which means the driver
can avoid an obstacle without having to release
the brakes first.
The ESP includes EBA (Emergency Brake
Assistance) that comes into play in emergency
stops or panicky braking manoeuvres when drivers
brake rapidly, but ineffectively. The EBA
sensors recognise the attempt at full braking
and transmit a signal calling for full brake
pressure. The result is a slow, strong application
of the full brake force from a short pedal
movement and a significantly reduced braking
distance.

Tyre Pressure Sensor
Functioning directly on one of the most crucial
parts of the automobile, the tyres, the Tyre
Pressure Sensor provides the New Toledo with
safety enhancing innovation. Consisting of
a receiver, temperature compensator and internal
tyre pressure monitor, the system informs
the driver as soon as tyre pressure drops
below a certain level and is even smart enough
to handle pressure differences caused by ambient
temperature, thus avoiding unnecessary risks
while driving.
Bixenon headlights
The more you can see, the safer you are on
the road. For this reason the New Toledo offers
this high-performance illumination system.
Optional Bixenon lamps create light by sending
an arc of current between two tungsten electrodes,
fitted inside a glass chamber filled with
xenon gas and halogenised metal salts. The
Adaptable Front-lighting System (AFS) increases
driver visibility and field of vision by following
every turn of the steering wheel.
The beam of light this produces has a characteristic
blue/green colour and is twice as intense
as that of a halogen lamp. This gives you
extended reach and clarity of illumination,
meaning better vision, less strain and safer
driving in challenging conditions.
