COMFORT & SECURITY
Automotive features play a crucial role in enhancing both comfort and security for drivers and passengers. Here are some of the key features that contribute to these aspects:
- Adjustable seats contribute to a comfortable driving experience.
- Heating and ventilation, systems help maintain a comfortable temperature inside the vehicle regardless of outside conditions.
- Soundproofing reduces external noise, enhancing the overall comfort level within the vehicle.
- A well-tuned suspension system absorbs road imperfections, ensuring a smoother ride for occupants.
- Seat belts offer crucial protection during accidents.
- Bendix, self-actuating brake helps the driver maintain control and reducing the risk of skidding.
- Door locks deter theft and unauthorized access to the vehicle.
- 60-watt incandescent high beams improve visibility, especially during night driving or adverse weather conditions.
Third Brake Light
The center high mounted stop light indicates when the driver is braking. Positioned higher than the corner stop lights, the third brake light is more visible to other drivers – reducing the incidence of rear-end collisions.
Situational Awareness
A rearview camera significantly enhances driver situational awareness when parking by providing a clearer and wider view of the area behind the vehicle, reducing blind spots, and improving visibility in challenging conditions.
Passenger Restraints
The four-inch-wide lap belts ensure occupants remain securely positioned within the vehicle. They restrict movement during sudden stops or collisions, distributing force across a broader area to minimize injury risk.
Single Key Access
Having the front passenger doors and upper tailgate using the same key as the ignition, glove box, and under-seat tool boxes streamlines access and reduces the risk of misplacing or forgetting keys for specific areas of the vehicle.
Crash Protection
Front and rear bumpers absorb and disipate impact energy during collisions. They are designed as the first line of defense to minimize damage to the vehicle and reduce injury risk to passengers.
Occupant Security
The use of 18-gauge panels, which are significantly thicker than typical body panels in modern cars, enhances occupant safety by providing a stronger, more resilient vehicle structure that can better withstand collisions and external forces.
