Safety

Standard Blind Spot Monitor with Rear Cross-Traffic Alert

At your service. Highlander’s Blind Spot Monitor works to heighten your awareness on the road, alerting you to the presence of vehicles that have entered your blind spot on either side. While Rear Cross Traffic Alert (RCTA) helps you backup more confidently, warning you of approaching vehicles that may cross your path. Standard on Highlander LE grades and above.

Rear Cross-Traffic Braking (RCTB)

Next level safety. Working in tandem with the ICS system, RCTB not only warns you of approaching cross traffic when backing up but will automatically apply the brakes if the sensors determine that a collision is imminent. Standard on Limited and Platinum models.

Bird’s Eye View Camera and Digital Rear-view Mirror

There is more to see in the 2021 Highlander. Available on Platinum, the Bird’s Eye View Camera gives you a live, rotating, 360° view of your surroundings when parked. While the Digital Rear-view Mirror gives you a wider view of what is behind you – even if your line-of-sight is blocked.
