Dual-stage air bags are engineered to help protect the driver and right-front passenger by supplementing the safety belts.
Front-seat side-impact air bags help reduce the risk of certain injuries to front-seat occupants in side impacts.
Always use safety belts and the correct child restraint for your child's age and size, even in vehicles equipped with air bags. 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. 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.
As an added security feature, this vehicle has the PASS-Key III theft-deterrent system, which includes a special ignition key with up to 3 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.
