Advanced Multi-stage Air Bags:
Offers enhanced protection for a range of occupants and is designed
to identify the size of an occupant in the front passenger seat
based primarily on weight
Anti-lock Braking System: Equipped with electronic sensors
that help prevent wheel lockup, the ABS system offers improved
steering control under extreme braking and/or slippery conditions
Auto-reverse Sun Roof: An advanced sensing system that
automatically engages and reverses the sun roof (to the open
position)
BeltAlert: This feature sounds a periodic chime to alert
the driver and all occupants to fasten their seat belts
Brake Assist: The vehicle senses a panic brake condition
and applies maximum braking power, providing the shortest possible
stopping distance
Brake/Park Interlock: Prevents an automatic transmission or
transaxle from being shifted out of Park unless the brake pedal is
applied
Constant Force Retractors (CFR): A mechanical device in
each front seat belt is designed to mitigate the force of a seat
belt according to the load or force exerted on it. CFRs are
engineered to force-limit the belt system and gradually release
seat-belt webbing in a controlled manner during a severe impact
Crumple Zones: An area of the vehicle that is designed to
compress during an accident to absorb energy from an impact,
preventing transfer of that energy to occupants
Electronic Stability Program (ESP): Feature aids the driver
in maintaining vehicle directional stability, providing oversteer
and understeer control to maintain vehicle behavior
Energy-absorbing Steering Column: Steering column contains
two hydroformed coaxial tubes that move relative to each other,
which allows the column to move forward and provide more energy
absorption during an impact
Enhanced Accident Response System (EARS): In the event of
an impact, this system makes it easier for emergency personnel to
see and access occupants by automatically turning on interior
lighting and unlocking doors after air bag deployment. The system
also shuts off the flow of fuel to the engine
Height-adjustable Seat Belts: Allows passengers to lift and
lower the shoulder belt to a comfortable level. Encourages seat belt
usage by offering a more comfortable fit
HomeLinkฎ Universal Home Security System Transceiver:
HomeLink can store three separate radio-frequency codes to operate
garage door openers, security gates, security lighting and other
radio-controlled devices
Inflatable Knee Blocker: The inflatable knee blocker is an
air bag that deploys whenever the driver's primary air bag deploys,
helping position the driver relative to the primary air bag
Interior Head-impact Protection: Interior pillars above the
belt line, instrument panel, windshield and rear window headers,
roof and side rail structures, and shoulder-belt turning loops are
specifically designed to limit head-impact forces
Knee Bolsters: The steering column, lower instrument panel
and the glove-box door are reinforced to protect unbelted occupants
during frontal impacts. They both restrain and position the occupant
properly and enable air bags to work effectively
Lower Anchors and Tethers for Children (LATCH): This system
helps ease the installation of compatible aftermarket child seats
Occupant Classification System (OCS): The OCS measures the
conditions for activation or deactivation of the front
passenger-side air bag based upon the weight of the occupant
Octagonal Frame-rail Tips: Octagonal tips are designed to
collapse rearward in a controlled manner during a frontal or offset
front impact
ParkSense Rear Back-up System: Assists with detecting
stationary objects when driving at low speeds in Reverse. This
system consists of visible (lights when the driver looks at the
inside rearview mirror) and audible warnings
Power-adjustable Pedals: Allows brake, accelerator and
clutch pedals to move toward or away from the driver. This helps the
driver achieve a safe and comfortable seating position for improved
vehicle control
Remote Keyless Entry: The remote keyless entry locks and
unlocks doors, and turns on interior lamps. If the vehicle is
equipped with a vehicle-theft security alarm, the remote also arms
and disarms that system
Seat-belt Pretensioners: During a collision, impact sensors
initiate front seat belt pretensioners to immediately remove slack
from seat belts, which reduces the forward movement of an occupant's
head and torso
Sentry Keyฎ Engine Immobilizer: This utilizes an engine key
that has an embedded transponder with a pre-programmed security key
code. When the key is inserted into the ignition, the controller
sends a random number to the transponder and the engine is allowed
to start. If the correct key is not used, the engine will shut off
after only a few seconds
SmartBeamฎ Headlamps: Intelligent headlamp system that
adjusts to ambient light and oncoming traffic to deliver maximum
lighting
Supplemental Side-curtain Air Bags: Available side-curtain
air bags extend protection to front- and rear-seat outboard
occupants. Each side air bag has its own impact sensor in order to
autonomously trigger the air bag on the side where the side impact
occurs
Tire Pressure Monitoring (TPM): This advanced system
monitors tire pressure and alerts the driver to improper tire
pressure conditions. Low pressure on any tire illuminates the amber
warning indicator in the instrument cluster |
