Safety

Four-wheel-disc, antilock brakes are standard. A standard electronic stability system uses rollover mitigation technology that senses impending rollovers and attempts to avert them by applying individual brakes.

Side curtain-type airbags are standard. Side-impact airbags for the front seats are not available.
