Delivering a safe ride.
Advanced safety systems are designed to help give you
peace of mind every time you drive. Each one is engineered
to help you maintain control, even in challenging road
conditions and in some emergency situations. These safety
systems are designed to function automatically, leaving you
free to focus on the road ahead.
AIRBAG & SEAT BELT SENSORS
An advanced sensor system manages six airbags by monitoring the severity of
an impact, presence of passengers and seat belt use, and then controls airbag
inflation accordingly.

chassis design that disperses impact along a number of
different paths.
