Some of these as available safety and security features include Automatic Emergency Braking Technology, Forward Collision Warning Plus, Lane Departure Warning Plus, and LED projector headlamps with optional automatic high-beam control.

The optional Forward Collision Warning Plus was awarded a “superior” grade, and is the best possible score in front crash prevention. The system initially sends an alert to the driver to avoid a possible front collision. If the driver does not act quickly, the vehicles brakes may be activated if the collision risk remains.
