Safety


The Leading Edge in Safety

Advanced technologies for safety performance inspire your trust and peace of mind.

SRS Airbags

SRS airbags contribute to driver and passenger safety by helping to minimize impact force in the event of a collision. Ample features include SRS curtain-shield airbags that cover all three rows, and an SRS knee airbag for the driver that bolsters protection by distributing and cushioning impact on the knees.

Pedestrian Protection

The impact-absorbing structure of the hood, fenders, and other components helps enhance safety performance in accidents involving pedestrians.

Crash Safety

An energy-absorbing body structure contributes to a higher level of crash safety performance by effectively absorbing impact energy from the front, side, or rear.

Active Headrests

In the event of rear-end collisions, front seats with active headrests contribute to reduction of neck impact by moving the headrest diagonally upwards to simultaneously cushion the head and back.

Vehicle Stability Control

When driving on slippery road surfaces, VSC enhances vehicle stability by controlling engine output and braking at each wheel if sensors detect an abrupt steering operation or lateral slipping of the vehicle.

Adaptive Front-lighting System & High-intensity Discharge Lamps

AFS effectively illuminates the road ahead by aiming the headlamps to the left or right in response to steering angle and vehicle speed. Together with auto leveling and the use of powerful HID lamps that offer excellent coverage, it helps improve nighttime visibility.

Pre-crash Safety System

When a collision is judged imminent due to sensor detection of an obstacle on the road ahead, the system alerts the driver by beeping and displaying a warning message. If the driver performs emergency braking, Pre-crash Brake Assist is activated to bolster braking force. When the system judges a collision to be unavoidable, Pre-crash Brakes operate to reduce the speed of collision, and tension on Pre-crash Seatbelts is increased to contribute to higher occupant protection performance.
(Optional on automatic transmission models with 1GR-FE or 1KD-FTV engine)
