Starting with its rigid body cell (which is designed to help maintain its integrity in the case of an accident) plus its standard driver and front passenger airbags, you'll find it's a combination of many things that make the DUALIS one of the safest cars on the road.
Vehicle Dynamic Control (VDC)*
- Instantly senses when the car is losing its intended line of trajectory and defines what needs to happen to help remedy the problem.
- In the case of trouble, reduces engine torque to specific wheels and applies brakes as necessary.
*ST Option and Ti models only
Traction Control System (TCS)*
- Traction control system limits tyre slip for safer driving.
- When the system senses one wheel is spinning faster than the others, it automatically pumps that wheel's brake to reduce speed and lessen slip.
*ST Option and Ti models only.

Anti-lock Braking System (ABS)
- Helps you retain directional control while braking.
- Optimises braking performance by sensing wheel lock and sending a signal to the braking system to release the locked wheel. As the wheel unlocks, it can be steered.
- Individually applies and releases the brakes to help provide optimum stopping and control under extreme braking situations.
Ti model shown
Brake Assist (BA)
- In emergency braking situations, Brake Assist generates extra pressure on the braking system - reducing stopping distance by up to 15%^
- Brake Assist and ABS work together to give optimum control by preventing wheel lockage when braking
^Approximately 5 metres when travelling at 90 km/hr

Electronic Brakeforce Distribution (EBD)
- Senses the load condition of both passengers and luggage to optimise rear brakeforce and control front and rear brake distribution.
- Enables safer, stress-free driving, whether on your own or while carrying a full load of passengers or cargo.

Driver and Front Passenger SRS Airbags
- Deployed in the event of a frontal impact.
- Remain inflated long enough to help provide enhanced protection.
Driver and Passenger Side Curtain Airbags*
- Roof-mounted curtain side-impact supplemental airbags drop down in the case of accident.
- Offer extra protection to the driver and passenger during side impact collisions.
*ST Option and Ti models only

Front Seatbelt Pretensioners and Load Limiters
- Front seatbelts with pretensioners and load limiters use sensors to determine the severity of a potential crash and instantly tighten accordingly.
- Should additional force be exerted in the seatbelt, load limiters ensure appropriate give, so as to reduce any damaging pressure on the body.
Front Active Head Restraints
- Provide additional protection against serious injury from the effects of whiplash.
- For front seat passengers.
