• ADJUSTABLE SAFETY BELT GUIDE LOOPS allow the
shoulder safety belts for front passengers to be adjusted
up and down to fit the occupant more comfortably.
• FRONT-SEAT SAFETY BELT PRETENSIONER AND
FORCE-LIMITER mechanism reduces slack in the
shoulder safety belt upon a frontal impact, and then
releases the tension gradually to help lessen the
impact forces transferred to the occupant.
• THREE-POINT SAFETY BELT SYSTEM helps restrain
passengers; includes the rear center-seat position.
• REAR-SEAT HEAD RESTRAINTS for outboard seating
positions complement the standard safety features.
• REINFORCED STEEL SAFETY-CAGE CONSTRUCTION
surrounds occupants with a cocoon-like system of
structural components. This structure consists of
reinforced roof rails and door pillars and beams,
which are designed to help minimize intrusion into
the passenger compartment during a collision.
• FRONT AND REAR CRUSH ZONES are designed to
deform in a controlled manner in the event of a
collision, helping to absorb impact energy in order
to reduce intrusion into the passenger compartment.
• ENERGY-ABSORBING STEERING COLUMN AND
INSTRUMENT PANEL are designed to help absorb
collision impact to help reduce injury to the
driver’s body.
Optional
• SIDE AIR BAGS,* an option for all models, deploy
from the seatback sides and work with the vehicle’s
side structure to help reduce the risk of injury to
front-seat occupants’ rib and chest areas in side
impacts, such as those that can occur in some
intersection collisions.
• BUILT-IN REAR CHILD SAFETY SEAT (LSi only) offers
the convenience of an integrated safety restraint
designed for young children.
*Always use safety belts and proper child restraints, even with Next
Generation air bags. Children are safer when properly secured in
a rear seat. See the owner’s manual for more safety information.
