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.
