Safe and Secure Equipment

  • Uses the Smart Assist Ⅱ collision avoidance support system
    Through a combination of cameras, laser radar and sonar sensors, when a heightened risk of collision in front of the car is detected, support to avoid the hazard is provided through emergency braking. In addition, the system alerts the driver when risk of collision with other vehicles or pedestrian is heightened, the risk of lane divergence will be warned and the system also controls against sudden forward or backward lurches due to mistaken depression of accelerator and brake pedals
  • With the use of the Hill Hold System, backward motion of the vehicle when starting on a slope is controlled
  • Employs Emergency Stop Signal: When driving at speeds in excess of 60km/h, if the brake pedal is depressed heavily, at the same time the brake lights illuminate the hazard lights start to blink at a fast rate to get the attention of vehicles following behind

Equipment for Comfort

  • In addition to ultra-violet (UV) light, infrared (IR) light that is the main cause of heat is cut, cutting the solar light that gets through in half. This is achieved with the use of Super UV & IR Cutting Glass (Front Door), which not only protects against sunburn but also has the effect of preventing temperature rises within the cabin*12
