EXTERIOR
Side-Impact Door Beams
All doors are reinforced with steel beams to help absorb impact energy and deflect side-impact force. Both the A and B pillars are also reinforced to help strengthen the body of the vehicle in the case of a collision.
4-Wheel Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS)
ABS helps to provide greater vehicle control when stopping in difficult conditions like wet or slippery roads.

Electronic Stability Control (ESC)
ESC monitors your vehicle’s response during emergency maneuvers. It then controls the engine and brakes to help you maintain control of the vehicle.
NOTE: Image shown for reference only.
Traction Control System (TCS)
The advanced Traction Control System can sense wheel spin during acceleration. When it does, it uses a combination of engine power and brake force to transfer power to the wheels that have the most traction, providing both increased control and enhanced responsiveness.
NOTE: Image shown for reference only.
Brake Assist System (BAS)
BAS operates based on the force that’s applied to the brake pedal. If you need to brake aggressively, it helps control the stop by applying the necessary braking pressure.

Electronic Brake-Force Distribution (EBD)
EBD senses the vehicle’s load and weight distribution, then applies the necessary braking pressure at each wheel. This helps to enhance your control.

Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)
The monitoring system includes air-pressure sensors located at each wheel. If a tire reaches a specified low air pressure, a warning light alerts you.
NOTE: Even with the Tire-Pressure Monitoring System, always check your tire pressure on a regular basis.
INTERIOR
Airbag and Seat Belt Sensors
The advanced front airbag system monitors the severity of an impact, the presence of a front passenger and seat-belt use, and then controls airbag inflation accordingly.

NOTE: Image shown for reference only.
Front Seat-Belt Pretensioners
In the event of certain collisions, pretensioners are designed to tighten the seatbelts to help to reduce the likelihood of injury.
Lower Anchors and Tethers for Children (LATCH)
Lower Anchors and Tethers for Children (LATCH) make it easier and more convenient to secure child seats.
