Pre-crash safety system
When the millimeter-wave radar detects the likelihood of a collision with the vehicle or obstacle ahead, it alerts the driver with a display and a buzzer, and the pre-crash brake assist increase braking force when the driver depresses the brake pedal. If it determines a collision is difficult to avoid, the pre-crash brakes and pre-crash seatbelts also operates to help reduce injury due to collision.
LDA & Automatic High Beam System
LDA alerts the driver with a buzzer and on the multi-information display if the system judges the vehicle is about to cross the lane markings without using the turn signals. The Automatic High Beam System helps safe driving at night by instantly switching from high to low beam when the lights of an oncoming vehicles, or the tail lights of a vehicle in front, are detected.
PUH (Pop Up Hood)
The innovative PUH provides pedestrian protection in the event of a frontal collision and at the same time enables a sporty design with a low hood line. When the sensors mounted in the front bumper determine that the vehicle has collided with a pedestrian, the hood instantly pops up to create a space to absorb the impact force.
Eight Airbags
The IS features eight sensor-controlled SRS airbags together with pre-tensioners and force limiters of the front seatbelts. The front occupants are protected by dual-stage SRS driver airbag, dual-stage SRS front passenger airbag, SRS knee airbags and SRS side airbags. SRS curtain shield airbags cover the front and rear door windows.
AL-TPWS (Auto Location-Tire Pressure Warning System)
AL-TPWS contributes to tire life and fuel efficiency by displaying the pressure of each tire in the multi-information display. When low tire pressure is detected, the display shows the air pressure value of the affected tire in amber, together with an in-meter warning lamp.
