Smart Stop Technology
(
SST
)
At speeds greater than five miles per hour, when the accelerator is depressed first and the brakes are then applied firmly
for longer than one-half second, SST is designed to help the driver bring the vehicle to a stop.
Enhanced Vehicle Stability Control
(
VSC
)
To help compensate for a loss of traction while cornering and help prevent sideways slipping, Enhanced VSC adjusts
engine power, braking and steering torque-assist control to help the vehicle follow the direction in which it is being steered.
Anti-Lock Brake System
(
ABS
)
ABS helps to prevent brakes from locking up by pulsing brake pressure to each wheel to help you stay in control in
emergency braking situations.
Active Front Headrests
5
In certain lower-speed, rear-end collisions, sensors in the lumbar region of the front seats trigger the movement of the
headrests to help position them to the back of the occupants’ heads.
Pet Travel Safety
