Front pedestrian impact prevention continuously scans the roadway to detect people and can intervene when a collision risk appears, offering extra peace of mind in crowded neighborhoods and urban traffic.

The rear camera delivers a clear view behind the vehicle to simplify backing up, reduce blind spots and make parking in tight spaces less stressful and more precise.

Lane departure prevention helps correct unintentional drifting by providing steering or braking inputs when needed, supporting steadier lane-keeping and enhancing confidence on longer highway stretches.

Rear collision mitigation monitors what’s happening behind the vehicle and prepares the car and occupants if a rear impact seems likely, helping reduce potential damage and risk to passengers.

Adaptive cruise control with traffic stop-go maintains a safe following distance automatically and can bring the vehicle to a stop and resume with traffic, easing the strain of heavy highway commuting.

Brake assist detects panic braking and boosts brake force to help shorten stopping distance in emergencies, increasing your chances of avoiding or minimizing a collision.

Conventional cruise control with steering wheel controls lets you set and adjust speed without taking your hands off the wheel, reducing fatigue and helping preserve fuel economy on longer drives.

The power open and close liftgate makes loading and unloading simpler when your hands are full by operating the rear cargo door at the touch of a button.

Keyfob engine start control lets you remotely start the engine so the cabin is comfortable before you get in, a handy convenience on very hot or cold days.
