Give your confidence a major boost. With seven stability-enhancing features, a rigid safety cage, and active safety features, it's easy to see what matters to us.
The available Forward Collision Warning (included in Front Assist) system can help monitor traffic and can alert you acoustically and visually to a potential front-end collision with the vehicle moving ahead. If it senses that a collision is imminent, Autonomous Emergency Braking (included in Front Assist) can support the driver with increased brake pressure or, under certain circumstances, it can apply the brakes automatically. The available Pedestrian Monitoring (included in Front Assist) feature can warn of pedestrians crossing in front of the vehicle and, under certain circumstances can, brake automatically to help prevent or mitigate the outcome of a collision with a pedestrian if the driver doesn't respond adequately to the warnings.

In the event of a collision that deploys the airbags, the ICRS can turn off the fuel pump, unlock the doors, and activate the hazard lights. It helps react if you might not be able to.
The sensors on the available Blind Spot Monitor are able to help sense what you might miss. When you're changing lanes (on select models equipped with Lane Assist), the Blind Spot Monitor can even countersteer within the limits of Lane Assist to help keep you in your lane. And in addition to the visual warning in the side mirrors, the steering wheel can vibrate.
Benefit from the view of a wide lens when you need it. It can help you see obstacles when backing up, a feature so helpful you'll wonder how you ever managed without it.
The available Rear Traffic Alert comes in handy when you're backing up. It has sensors that can alert you to vehicles crossing in your path when in reverse, and can even help brake the vehicle if needed.
Not every collision brings a car to stop. That's why our vehicles include the Automatic Post-Collision Braking System. It can also help slow the vehicle down after a collision, helping reduce the chance of any additional impacts.
