Advanced standard features like Vehicle Stability Control and Traction Control help to correct loss of traction during takeoff and stabilize the vehicle if an impending skid is detected. The standard Direct Tire Pressure Monitor alerts the driver when tire pressure is critically low.

Standard Intuitive Parking Assist uses sensors to help to park the vehicle. Available Dynamic Radar Cruise Control helps to maintain a pre-set following distance from the car in front of you.
