Doors are reinforced with steel beams to help absorb impact energy and deflect side-impact force. Both the A and B pillars are reinforced to help to strengthen the body of the vehicle in the case of a collision.
Power-Assisted 4-Wheel disc brakes and an Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS) provide excellent stopping power.
It monitors and assists in the control of key vehicle functions to provide improved directional stability, which helps you maintain better control in difficult driving situations.
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.
Heated outside mirrors are designed to stay clear in cold weather.
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.
Six airbags placed throughout the cabin are designed to help protect occupants. 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: For maximum protection, always wear your seat belt.
In the event of certain rear collisions, the active headrests move up and forward, helping to reduce the likelihood of neck injury.
Three-point seat belts are standard for all 5 seating positions.
A LATCH system makes it easier and convenient to secure child seats.
