Safety Belt Pretensioners
In certain frontal collisions, the
pretensioners for the driver and right
front outboard safety belts are
triggered by the same sensor that
triggers airbag inflation
Safety Belt Pretensioners
Before airbag inflation, the pretensioner
mechanism tightens the safety belt
being worn by the driver or front
outboard passenger
Safety Belt Pretensioners
This holds the safety belt firmly against
the occupant before the airbag inflates,
helping to reduce the force of the belt
on the occupant
Remote Keyless Entry System — locks and unlocks doors
from up to 33 feet away. Includes two transmitters and
illuminated entry.
Halogen Headlamps — emit a white, bright light for
excellent nighttime visibility.
Side Door Intrusion Beams — additional protection in
certain side collisions.
Reverse Sensing System — detects an obstacle up to 6 feet
away to alert drivers to certain objects near the rear of
the vehicle when backing up. Requires rear step or
contour bumper.
Four-wheel Disc Anti-lock Braking System (ABS)
standard on all E-Series models, helps provide steering
control in hard-braking situations. Disc brakes help resist
fade better than drum brakes.
Safety/Security Specifics
A CLOSER LOOK: Anti-lock Braking System
Remind your customers that ABS does not necessarily shorten
stopping distances, but is designed to help the driver maintain
steering control during hard-braking situations. An E-Series
vehicle that is pulling a trailer or hauling a heavy load will
take longer to stop as compared to an unloaded vehicle, even
when equipped with ABS.
