Safety is a big concern when searching for your next vehicle. You want to make sure that the vehicle you're driving is safe for both you and your passengers. Luckily, modern vehicles come with advanced safety technologies that are designed to prevent accidents and reduce injuries. One such technology that you can find in Lexus models is called Vehicle Stability Control (VSC). At Longo Lexus in El Monte, California, we want to explain what VSC is, how it works, which Lexus models have VSC, and how it combines with the many other Lexus safety features to deliver one of the safest driving experiences available. more What Is VSC? VSC is a safety feature on Lexus models that can help give you more control in slippery driving conditions. When the vehicle detects that you're losing traction on a slippery road surface, it activates the VSC system. This system decreases the amount of power sent to the wheels, which then allows you to maintain better control over the steering. One of the leading causes of accidents when driving in wet conditions is that the wheels receive too much power to adequately grip the road surface. By automatically slowing down the wheels, the VSC helps the driver steer and retain control over where the vehicle goes. The driver will still have full control over the vehicle, there may just be some delay in responses when the VSC is engaged to guard against rapid turns. Which Lexus Models Have VSC? Starting in 2008, it became mandatory in the United States for all new vehicles to have a VSC system. Therefore, all Lexus models built after 2008 already have the VSC system installed. This includes the latest models, such as the 2024 Lexus GX, the 2024 Lexus TX, and the 2024 Lexus LBX. Can You Disable VSC on a Lexus? It's possible to disable or turn off the VSC system on your Lexus, but it's not recommended. Because the VSC system is in place to help protect you in the event of a sudden loss of traction, you never know when you might need it. To turn off VSC, there's a button within your Lexus that you can press when the vehicle is stopped. Attempting to push this button when the vehicle is in motion could result in a loss of control of the vehicle. To disable the VSC system entirely, you'll have to pull fuses associated with stabilization or traction control, which we do not recommend. What Does the VSC Light Indicate on the Lexus Dashboard? There are two scenarios in which the VSC dashboard light will turn on; the first is when the VSC system is actively engaged. If you're driving along a slippery road and the VSC system turns on to help you regain control, the dashboard light will illuminate. This helps you know when the VSC is currently engaged so that you can adjust your driving technique accordingly. You may also notice the VSC light when you start your Lexus. If, after starting up the Lexus, your VSC remains on, this indicates a problem with your system. You should treat this light as you would a check engine light and schedule a visit to your local Lexus Service Center. They can inspect the VSC system for you and look for any signs of an issue. What Other Safety Features Come With New Lexus Models? The newest Lexus models come with a host of safety features beyond just the VSC. Let's look at some of the safety features you can find with the latest Lexus models. Pre-Collision System The Lexus Safety System+ and its host of safety technologies come with a pre-collision system. This system detects if there's a vehicle or pedestrian in front of the vehicle. It then helps the driver avoid an accident either through steering assistance or the application of the emergency braking system. With this constant monitoring in place, you're much less likely to get into an accident. Lane-Assistance System Another feature of the Lexus Safety System+ are the lane-assistance systems. For one, there's a lane-departure alert, which provides an audible alert when the driver inadvertently leaves their driving lane. There's also a steering assist available, which can guide the vehicle back into its lane when it detects one of these departures. Finally, there's the lane-tracing assist, which drivers can use to stay centered in their lane, even when sitting in traffic or navigating highways with gradual curves. Intelligent High Beams All Lexus Safety System+ systems come with intelligent high beams. This system improves illumination as you drive, giving you more visibility at night. It automatically adjusts the high beams based on what's in front of you, turning them down when it detects headlights or taillights ahead. Safety Connect In the event of an accident, you'll want emergency assistance there as quickly as possible. With the Safety Connect system, assistance can be sent directly to your vehicle's GPS location if you're in a severe collision that involves air bag deployment. You can also use this feature to help locate your vehicle in the event that it's stolen. Air Bags Finally, there's the air bag system. There are air bags located throughout Lexus cabins that are designed to protect the driver and passengers in the event of an accident. The air bags in the front can even detect the seat-track position of the driver and front passenger seat and then deploy the air bags accordingly. This helps reduce injuries often associated with air bag deployment. Learn More About Lexus Safety Features at Longo Lexus VSC is just one of many safety features included with modern Lexus models.

Vehicle paint protection film (PPF) is a transparent layer of urethane, a versatile polymer. It resembles plastic, but it's more resistant to cracks and tears. PPF protects vehicles from scratches and minor abrasions. It can also minimize salt air corrosion from driving near the ocean and help keep paint looking pristine. PPF prevents fading and gives paint a more glossy, polished appearance. Making a vehicle look more appealing can also increase its resale value. Cars with PPF are easier to clean, and they usually only require a soft cloth. Here are some of the types of PPFs available including their benefits. more Gloss PPF Gloss PPF helps your vehicle look new for as long as possible. It makes paint look shinier while protecting it from gravel, tree sap, acid rain, bird droppings, and many other hazards. Some gloss PPFs resist UV rays, protecting your car from fading and discoloration. Satin PPF Satin PPF is for cars with matte finishes. The specialized paint on some luxury vehicles is very costly, and adding satin PPF can help you protect your investment. You can also use this type of PPF to change a glossy finish to a more matte look. Entry-Level PPF Entry-level PPF uses an older, less costly formula. While it's easier on the wallet, it usually doesn't include UV protection, so cars with it may be susceptible to fading. Fashion Film Fashion film comes in a variety of colors and lets people change the look of their vehicles without spending money on a new paint job. Self-Healing PPF Self-healing PPF uses heat from the vehicle's engine or the sun to help repair chips and scratches and make swirl marks less noticeable. It contains thermoplastic polymers that help the PPF return to its original shape after different types of damage. The latest self-healing PPF uses nanotechnology (the manipulation of materials on a molecular or atomic scale). This allows the healing agents to be dispersed evenly throughout the film to quickly heal minor chips or scratches on the PPF or painted surface layer. Edge Seal Technology Edge seal technology protects the edges of PPF from moisture and dirt. The sealant helps PPF retain its strength and clarity. It also provides protection against chemical damage from environmental contaminants or cleaners. Temporary PPF Cars on racetracks were the first to use temporary PPF, but consumers now use it for short-term protection during vehicle delivery, long trips towing a vehicle behind an RV, or similar situations. Off-Road PPF Off-road PPF is heavy-duty. It can withstand a variety of rugged conditions and protect paint from branches, rocks, and other debris encountered during your off-road adventure. PPF Layers PPF usually comes in ready-to-use rolls with different layers. The top layer keeps other layers clean and protects them until installation is over; then, the installer removes this layer. The middle layer has an adhesive that attaches the PPF to the vehicle's clear coat. When needed, you can remove the PPF without damaging the paint. The urethane layer is the thickest part of a PPF. It flexes after an impact from debris, reducing damage by absorbing most of the force. Some PPFs use polyvinyl chloride (PVC) as a base material instead of urethane. It's resistant to UV light, oil, water, chemicals, and grease. The last layer is a thin, clear film that seals the urethane layer and protects it from contaminants. It has a low surface energy to keep organic substances, such as bugs or bird droppings, from staining the film. Solvent-Based PPFs Solvent-based PPFs use a solvent as the base material. It creates a strong bond between the surface of the vehicle and the film. These PPFs are often thicker and more durable than other types of PPFs. Water-Based PPFs Water-based PPFs use a water-based adhesive for easier professional installation. They don't require any chemicals or solvents when being applied, and they offer excellent UV resistance. Ceramic Topcoats A ceramic topcoat doesn't provide as much protection from scratches as a PPF, but it can keep UV rays on those sunny California days and environmental contaminants from damaging your vehicle's paint job. We offer the Lexus Topcoat Ceramic Diamond Protection service at Longo Lexus, which is a 24-hour, eight-step process. The Benefits of PPF PPF can last for up to a decade. It can resist high temperatures and keep your vehicle looking shiny and new longer. It's easy to maintain, and clear PPFs can go over headlights. The amount of PPF coverage is customizable. Some owners only want PPF in the most vulnerable areas, such as the front bumper and hood. Others choose the investment of full-vehicle coverage. If your vehicle gets scratched or has other minor damage that self-healing can't fix, a professional can remove the damaged PPF and replace it with new film. Almost all automotive manufacturers approve PPFs as original equipment. Before getting a PPF, have any scratches or other damage to your vehicle's paint repaired. This keeps flaws in the paint from becoming trapped underneath the PPF. Having your PPF installed by a professional, such as 626 Customs at Longo Lexus, helps prevent peeling, blistering or bubbles beneath the surface, and other issues. Installing a PPF in a clean environment looks more flawless. Most PPFs are pre-cut using software to keep the film less than 1/8 inch from all edges. By avoiding the need for cutting the PPF on the vehicle, this system reduces the risk of damaging your vehicle's paint. Many PPF manufacturers offer five- to 10-year warranties on their PPFs. Paint Protection Is a Specialty PPF is one of many Longo Lexus specialties. Having one of our experts apply your PPF can keep your vehicle's paint in excellent condition longer. Find us at 3530 North Peck Road in El Monte, California, make an appointment today for one of our 626 Customs Powered by Longo team to install your PPF. Our service department is open 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. Monday through Friday and 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturday. Lexus by Werner Bayer is licensed with CC0 1.0 DEED

The Lexus LS is Lexus' flagship model, and it has a luxurious interior and a smooth, comfortable ride. The company is Toyota's luxury division, and LS is an abbreviation for luxury sedan. The LS 400 debuted to strong sales in 1989, and it helped Lexus become one of the most popular and successful luxury vehicle manufacturers. There are five generations of this car, and the 2024 Lexus LS is part of the latest. Here's some additional information about the history of the LS and its improvements over the years from our Longo Lexus team in El Monte, California. more The Introduction of the LS The first LS generation started with the 1990 LS 400. It had a boxy profile, large, rectangular automatic headlights, fog lights, and chrome trim around the grille. The seats used premium leather, and standard features included heated power front seats, an air suspension, and a digital display for the heater and air conditioner. The instrument cluster had green on black lighting, and the 250 hp, 4.0L V-8 engine was reliable and efficient. It used a four-speed automatic transmission. In 1993, the LS 400 received a variety of updates, including changes in available trim levels and new colors. Improvements to the suspension system, steering, brakes, tires, and wheels made driving the LS 400 even more pleasurable. Until 2006, people in Japan called the Lexus LS the Toyota Celsior. The Second Generation The second LS generation started with the 1995 LS 400 in November 1994. The wheelbase widened 1.4 inches to 112.2 inches, and there were 2.6 more inches of legroom in the rear seats than in the first-generation LS. The second-generation LS also had more soundproofing. Both generations had similar styles, and they used the same four-speed automatic transmission and motor. Despite its larger size, the 1995 LS was 209 pounds lighter than the 1994 model. In 1998, a mid-cycle refresh added a redesigned front grille, new doors, a five-speed automatic transmission for additional speed, efficiency, and responsiveness, and a new variable valve timing system that increased the V-8's hp from 250 to 290. The 1998 Lexus LS also received a GPS navigation system with maps recorded on CD-ROMs, an advanced fuel meter that showed daily usage, and redesigned side mirrors to reduce wind noise. It had a climate control system with an improved filter and an antenna that was part of the rear window as well. The LS 430 The third generation of the LS appeared at the North American International Motor Show in 2000. Lexus called it the 2001 LS 430 for its larger 4.3L engine, which produced 290 hp and had an increased torque of 320 lb-ft. The LS 430 included a new adaptive cruise control system, which used lasers to monitor the location and speed of vehicles ahead, and an adjusted center of gravity and ride height increased stability. The LS 430 also had an anti-theft system, LED taillights, smaller gaps in body panels, narrower fog lights, a restyled bumper, and wood interior accents. In 2004, the LS 430 received a six-speed automatic transmission and radar instead of lasers for the cruise control. This system was more reliable in bad weather. The LS 460 The fourth Lexus LS generation started with the LS 460 in 2007. It had a more stylish, aerodynamic look than previous LS models, and the new 4.6L V-8 generated 380 hp, an impressive upgrade. The LS 460 was the first production car with an automated parking system and an eight-speed automatic transmission. It also had eight air bags, a tire pressure monitoring system, automatic headlights, and a pre-collision system that automatically closed the windows and sunroof and tightened the seat belts before a collision. The LS 460 L had a long wheelbase, and an optional executive package included a reclining and massaging rear seat, an ottoman, and a folding table. An all-wheel-drive hybrid called the LS 600h was available as well. It combined a 5.0L V-8 engine with the two electric motors in Toyota's Hybrid Synergy Drive, and it provided a total of 438 hp. A hybrid vehicle with a long wheelbase called the LS 600h L was also optional. In 2010, Lexus introduced a new Sport trim level with Brembo brakes and a sport-tuned air suspension. The LS adopted the spindle grille found on many other Lexus models in 2013, and an F-Sport trim level became part of the lineup. The Fifth-Generation LS 500 The fifth-generation LS 500 arrived in 2018, and it used the Toyota New Generation Architecture - Luxury platform. The 3.4L twin-turbo V-6 delivered 415 hp. Lexus only offered one wheelbase length, but the executive package remained optional. The hybrid LS 500h included a 3.5L V-6 and a multi-stage hybrid transmission that simulated a 10-speed automatic transmission. Previous models had an upper grille and a smaller lower grille, but the LS 500 came with one large, angular grille and matching clusters with headlights, fog lights, and turn lights. The infotainment screen expanded to 12.3 inches. In 2021, the LS 500 received better insulation for a quieter ride and a touch screen. The awesome 2024 Lexus LS has a large grille and aggressive-looking, triangular headlights. It can carry up to five people, and it includes the following fantastic features: A heated, leather-wrapped steering wheel. A rear power sunshade to keep the sun off your passengers. Dual-zone climate control. A 12-speaker sound system. Apple CarPlay. Android Auto integration. Active noise cancellation to block road sounds. Six USB ports.

When shopping for the perfect Lexus, you may notice the company uses a system of letters and numbers to name the vehicles in its lineup. But what do the Lexus numbers and letters mean? It's not as complicated as it may seem, and once you understand the naming convention, you'll have no trouble finding a model that's right for you. Let's go over what the numbers and letters mean using some of Lexus' most popular models as examples. more Lexus ES The "E" in the Lexus ES stands for "Executive," and the "S" is for "Sedan." Put them together and the model is the "Executive Sedan." The number 350 often accompanies this luxury model. For most Lexus vehicles, these numbers represent the engine displacement. So for the ES 350, the number signifies that the car has a 3.5-liter engine. Lexus IS For the Lexus IS, the "S" doesn't stand for "Sedan" as it does in other vehicles that use the letter. Instead, it stands for "Sport," and the "I" is for "Intelligent." So the Lexus IS is the "Intelligent Sport." You'll find IS models with 300, 350, and 500 in the name, which means the option of a 3.0-, 3.5-, or 5.0-liter engine. For the IS 500, you may notice the F Sport addition to the name. This is how Lexus identifies its sportier models with fine-tuned suspensions and upgraded chassis. Lexus LS Everyone knows Lexus vehicles are luxurious, but you might not know the "L" in the Lexus LS actually stands for "Luxury." So the Lexus LS is the "Luxury Sedan." This was the first vehicle Lexus launched in 1989, and the model continues to turn heads to this day. Lexus GX A midsize SUV, the Lexus GX offers comfort and style. In the name, the "G" stands for "Grand," while the "X" is for "Crossover." Choosing this model means you're getting one of Lexus' larger SUV models, and it's sure to impress. The SUV's powerful stance and aggressive headlights ensure no one will get in its way. New Lexus GX Inventory Lexus LX We've already explored what the “L” and “X” stand for in models such as the LS and the GX. Putting the letters together for the Lexus LX, you get the "Luxury Crossover." This model has a lot to offer, providing more amenities and features than the GX. So it truly stands up to its name, making it a good choice for those who want to spoil themselves. Lexus NX Smaller and more agile than its GX and LX siblings, the Lexus NX is another SUV in the Lexus lineup. The "N" in the name stands for "Nimble," making this the "Nimble Crossover." It comes with several engine options, and you may notice some models have an "H" in the name. This letter means you can get a hybrid version that makes this crossover even more fuel-efficient. If you prefer a sportier version, you can also get the F Sport model. Lexus RX One of the newest and most popular models Lexus offers, the RX is the "Radiant Crossover." You can get it in several versions, including hybrid and plug-in hybrid electric models. It even comes in a larger, seven-seat model for families and those who need to carry more passengers. Some models are denoted with an "L," which stands for "Larger." New Lexus RX Inventory Lexus TX Another exceptional Lexus SUV model, the TX has elegance and charm. In the name, the "T" stands for "Touring.” The "Touring Crossover" is available as a hybrid model with an F Sport option for the ultimate in efficiency and handling. This model boasts plenty of space for passengers and gear. New Lexus TX Inventory Lexus UX To tackle city driving with ease, Lexus brings you the UX, or "Urban Crossover." The company introduced this compact crossover for those living in urban areas who need a vehicle that maneuvers well on city streets but offers the same luxury and quality as its larger relatives. This is the smallest crossover in the Lexus lineup, and it offers a spirited drive and responsive handling to appeal to urban dwellers. Lexus RC The Lexus RC is an impressive sports car, and its name means "Radical Coupe." The sleek, two-door sports coupe has a powerful V-6 engine with responsive handling and all-weather performance capabilities, making it fun to drive in any road conditions. You can get this model in a trim with an "F" denotation that refers to Fuji Speedway in Japan, where the car went through hundreds of hours of testing. Lexus RZ Another one of Lexus' new additions, the RZ is a stunning model that fits nicely in the lineup. Like the RC, the "R" in the vehicle's name stands for "Radiant." The "Z" is for "Zero" to highlight the vehicle's zero emissions. You'll also find this car has an "e" in its name — it's available as either the 450e Premium or 450e Luxury. The Lexus brand's first all-electric car, it's estimated to have a 220-mile driving range and many standard and available features to help it stand out.
