Air bags help protect the driver and right front-seat passenger in certain collisions by supplementing the protection provided by safety belts. Side-impact air bags for both the driver and right-front passenger help reduce the risk of injury in certain side-impact collisions. Dual-stage front air bags utilize sensors to detect the severity of a crash, and then determine whether the air bags should be deployed and at what level of force.
The Passenger Sensing System automatically switches the right-front passenger frontal air bag on or off based on the passenger's weight.
Side-curtain air bags are designed to help reduce the risk of head injuries to front-seat and outboard rear-seat occupants on the near side of certain side-impact collisions.
Always use safety belts and the correct child restraint for your child's age and size. Even in vehicles equipped with Passenger Sensing System, children are safer when properly secured in a rear seat in the appropriate infant, child or booster seat. Never place a rear-facing infant restraint in the front seat of any vehicle equipped with an active frontal air bag. Head-curtain air bags are designed to help reduce the risk of head injuries to front and outboard rear-seat occupants during certain side-impact collisions. See the vehicle Owner's Manual and child safety seat instructions for more information.
The antilock brake system (ABS) is designed to help drivers maintain steering control by reducing wheel lockup during hard braking on most slippery or dry surfaces.
The StabiliTrak Electronic Stability Control System with Rollover Mitigation helps your vehicle respond to your steering commands. During difficult driving conditions, sensors feed data to an onboard computer that adjusts engine speed and brake pressure to any individual wheel to help keep you on track.
As an added security feature, this vehicle has the PASS-Key III theft-deterrent system, which includes a special ignition key with up to three trillion possible code variations. If any attempt is made to start your vehicle without the properly coded key, the starter and fuel injectors are temporarily disabled.
Traction Control reduces engine power and modulates the brakes to help reduce wheel slip during acceleration on many surfaces.
