sooner. When sudden braking is
detected, the brake assist function
applies maximum brake pressure
to all four wheels.
Passive safety:
engineered design.
The system of longitudinal and
transverse members at the front
of the vehicle (1) distributes the

forces exerted onto the bodyshell
in the event of an impact
and minimises deformation of
the passenger cell. Our patented
bodywork structure with a rigid
bulkhead cross member (2) made
of ultra high-strength steel
absorbs the forces introduced
into the system of longitudinal
members which prevents deforma-
tion of the footwell. The reinforced
doors (3) contribute to the overall

rigidity of the car. The forces
exerted in a frontal collision are
transmitted into the side structure
along a higher load path (4),
which improves the deformation
characteristics of the passenger
cell even further.
