SAFETY

Dedicated to safety.

Structure

Advanced High Strength Steel (AHSS) substantially increases body rigidity, while hot-stamping of components in 16 core stress areas helps boost body structure for better driving dynamics and a quieter ride.

Control

The Traction Control System (TCS) is designed to help reduce or prevent wheel spin when you accelerate, while Hill-Start Assist Control (HAC) helps keep your vehicle in place as you move off an incline.

Braking

Electronic Brake-force Distribution (EBD) is designed to help with consistent braking as weight load and distribution change. The Brake Assist System (BAS) can sense certain emergency braking situations and increase braking pressure.
