TSS is a suite of advanced systems that provide driver assistance to avoid accidents or reduce their severity if they occur. These include Pre-collision System (PCS), Lane Departure Alert (LDA), Lane Tracing Assist (LTA), and Dynamic Radar Cruise Control (DRCC) – All Speed.
With the Parking Support Brake System, drivers have the support of an intelligent parking system to detect objects in the surrounding areas of the vehicle during the parking process.
Should any object be detected, the brakes will be automatically applied and the engine power cut back so that collisions can be avoided. Even if a collision does occur, the early action of the system can reduce damage.
The VTS is a connectivity feature that uses GPS/GSM to track the location of the car at all times. This can aid recovery by the police if the vehicle is stolen.
VTS can also monitor and record vehicle speeds and other operating conditions that the vehicle has been subjected to, with data sent by email to a designated user.
Design-wise, the Alphard maintains its concept of ‘Dynamic and Formal’ to give the MPV a luxurious impression and commanding presence.
The Vellfire’s design concept is ‘Cool Tech’ which strengthens the distinctive cool and modern taste, giving a unique identity to the vehicle.
As with all other models imported by UMWT, owners of the Vellfire and Alphard will enjoy a full factory warranty and availability of replacement parts when required. Aftersales support is also assured.
