Head-curtain side-impact air bags are designed to help reduce the risk of head injuries to first- and second-row outboard occupants on the near side of certain side-impact collisions.
Air bags help protect the driver and right front-seat passenger in certain collisions by supplementing the protection provided by safety belts. Dual-stage frontal 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.
Always use safety belts and the correct child restraints for your child's age and size. Even in vehicles equipped with the Passenger Sensing System, children are safer when properly secured 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's Owner 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.
StabiliTrak is designed to assist you with directional control of the vehicle in difficult driving conditions. (No Suggestions) selectively applies braking pressure at any one of the vehicle's brakes to help steer the vehicle in the direction you are steering.
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.
