Foward Collison Warning is a vehicle safety technology has the potential to prevent a crash or reduce the impact speed of a crash. Foward Collison Warning alerts the driver to an imminent crash so they can begin to take preventative action

Higher speed Auto Emergency Braking is a vehicle safety technology has the potential to prevent a crash or reduce the impact speed of a crash. This version typically utilises long range radar to scan further ahead of the vehicle (up to 200 metres) at higher speeds.

Low speed Auto Emergency Braking is a vehicle safety technology has the potential to prevent a crash or reduce the impact speed of a crash. This version targets city driving where crashes often occur at low speeds but can cause debilitating injury such as whiplash injuries. Typically, these systems look for the reflectivity of other vehicles and are not as sensitive to pedestrians or roadside objects.

Pedestrian Auto Emergency Braking is a vehicle safety technology has the potential to prevent a crash or reduce the impact speed of a crash. This uses a camera combined with radar to detect vulnerable road users through their shape and characteristics. The way in which pedestrians move relative to the path of the vehicle is calculated to determine whether they are in danger of being struck.

Electronic Stability Control (ESC) helps drivers to avoid crashes by reducing the danger of skidding, or losing control as a result of over-steering. Australian research shows that ESC reduces the risk of Single car crashes by 25% find out more ...

Driver attention detection systems are designed to analyse the characteristics of the driver and identify signs of inattention or drowsiness.

Curtain airbags are designed to protect the driver's and front seat passenger's heads in a side impact crash.The curtain airbag activates instantaneously, deploying from the top of the door rails above the side window. They form a cushion between the driver or passenger and the window and stay in place if the car rolls over to protect their head.

Also known as Adaptive Cruise Control, Active Cruise Control detects the distance and speed of the preceding vehicle and maintains an appropriate following distance.

Driver attention detection systems are designed to analyse the characteristics of the driver and identify signs of inattention or drowsiness.

Traction Control systems optimise grip and stability of the car on the road during acceleration by measuring wheel rotation. It stops wheel spin by reducing engine power or temporarily applying the brakes to that wheel, allowing the car to accelerate smoothly, even on slippery surfaces. Limited slip differentials also help provide a more even distribution of traction forces when the car is on a slippery surface.

Adjustable steering columns allows for steering wheel heights to be adjusted to the driver’s preference.

Drivers’ airbags or frontal airbags typically deploy from the steering wheel to protect the driver from striking other parts of the car in a frontal crash. Drivers’ airbags are designed to be used in conjunction with seatbelts and do not offer protection in the event of a side impact crash.

Pretensioners tighten and reduce slack in seat belts to protect occupants from rapidly moving forward in the event of a crash.
