Safety

Standard safety features include antilock brakes, side-impact airbags for the first and second rows, side curtain airbags for all three rows, active head restraints for the front seats, an electronic stability system and Pre-Safe. When Pre-Safe detects that an accident may occur, it can cinch the front seat belts and close the sunroof and side windows.
