Overview

Anti-lock brakes ABS brakes automatically sense when a tire has stopped rotating under extreme braking, and will modulate the brake pressure to allow the tire to rotate. This increases the vehicles ability to turn while braking.

Front-impact airbags Front-impact airbags for the driver and passenger have been designed to protect the head during a frontal crash.

Overhead airbags Overhead airbags are used to protect the occupant's heads in the event of a side collision or rollover.

Pretensioners Seatbelt pretensioners automatically tighten seatbelts to place the occupant in the optimal seating position during a collision.

Security system The vehicle is equipped with a means of anticipating and/or detecting unwanted vehicle intrusion. The vehicle is equipped with an ignition disable device that will prevent the engine from starting if the correct original manufacturer key is not used.
