Air bags help protect the driver and right front-seat passenger in certain collisions by supplementing the protection provided by safety belts. The Passenger Sensing System automatically switches the right-front passenger frontal air bag on or off based on the passenger's weight and the type of pressure on the seat.
Always use safety belts and the correct child restraint for your child's age and size. Even in vehicles equipped with air bags and the 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. See the vehicle Owner's Manual and child safety seat instructions for more information.
Head curtain side air bags are designed to help reduce the risk of head and neck injuries to front and outboard rear seat occupants on the near side of a certain side-impact collisions. Always use safety belts and correct child restraints, for your child's age and size, even in vehicles equipped with air bags. Children are safer when properly secured in a rear seat. See the Owner's Manual and child safety seat instructions for more safety 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.
With the StabiliTrak Stability Enhancement System, sensors read many inputs and monitor driving and vehicle conditions. When sensors detect the beginning of a skid or slide, StabiliTrak engages the brake and powertrain systems to help the driver keep the vehicle 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 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.
