Safety technology features include Automatic Emergency Braking and Full-Speed Collision Warning with Active Braking and Pedestrian/Cyclist Detection. Full-Speed Collision Warning detects a pedestrian or cyclist and determines when a frontal collision is imminent. If the driver does not respond, the system automatically activates the brakes.
Intersection Collision Assist detects vehicles approaching from a driver's left and right at a crossroad. It delivers audible and visual alerts when a collision is about to happen. If the driver does not acknowledge the danger quickly, brakes are activated.
Drowsy Driver Detection tracks vehicle motion and on-steering behavior for patterns of drowsiness. If detected, the system sends an audiovisual signal to the driver to stop the car and take a break.
The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety is an independent non-profit organization. Its mission is to reduce the number of motor vehicle crashes and fatalities on roads.
Top Safety Pick and Top Safety Pick + designations are safety ratings for vehicles that perform well in their evaluations. IIHS also advocates for safe road policies and regulations. It uses its research to inform and influence legislation related to vehicle security standards, seatbelt use and other protective driving practices.
