Isuzu Safety Features
Isuzu pickup trucks are renowned for their durability and off-road prowess. But Isuzu doesn't stop there. They're also committed to keeping you and your passengers safe, whether you're navigating city streets or tackling rugged terrain.
Here's a look at the impressive safety features available across the Isuzu range.
Advanced Driver-Assistance Systems (ADAS)
Isuzu's ADAS package provides a comprehensive suite of technologies that help you stay alert, informed, and in control behind the wheel. Some key highlights include:
-
Forward Collision Warning (FCW): Monitors the distance to the vehicle ahead and alerts you if there's a risk of collision, giving you precious time to react.
-
Lane Departure Warning (LDW): Detects unintentional lane drifting and gently nudges the steering wheel to guide you back on track.
-
Blind Spot Monitor (BSM): Senses vehicles in your blind spot and illuminates a warning light in the corresponding door mirror, enhancing your awareness when changing lanes.
-
Autonomous Emergency Braking (AEB): Automatically applies the brakes in an emergency situation to help avoid or mitigate a collision.
-
Lane Departure Prevention (LDP): If you drift out of your lane without indicating, LDP gently corrects your steering to prevent an accident.
Intelligent Technologies for Added Confidence
Isuzu goes beyond the basics with additional safety features that cater to specific driving scenarios:
-
Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC): Maintains a safe distance from the vehicle ahead, reducing driving fatigue on long journeys. (Automatic transmission only)
-
Traffic Sign Recognition (TSR): Reads road signs and displays the current speed limit on the multi-information display, helping you avoid unintentional speeding.
-
Rear Cross Traffic Alert (RCTA): Warns you of approaching vehicles when reversing out of parking spaces, preventing potential collisions. (Double Cab models only)
-
Lane Keep Assist (LKA): Actively keeps the vehicle centered within its lane, especially helpful on motorways and long drives. (Automatic transmission only)
-
Intelligent Speed Limiter (ISL): Automatically adjusts your speed to stay within the legal limit, ensuring you're always compliant.
-
Emergency Lane Keeping (ELK): If there's a vehicle in your blind spot when changing lanes, ELK adjusts the steering to prevent the lane change and avoid a collision.
-
Pedal Misapplication Mitigation (PMM): Supresses engine torque and issues a visual and audible warning if the driver suddenly accelerates in front of an object, reducing the risk of accidents.
Passive Safety Measures for Ultimate Protection
Even with the most advanced technology, Isuzu prioritises occupant protection with a robust safety cell:
-
High-tensile steel construction: The D-Max's body is built with high-tensile steel for exceptional strength and impact resistance.
-
7 airbags: All models come equipped with 7 airbags, including driver and passenger airbags, side airbags, and curtain airbags, providing comprehensive protection in case of a collision.
-
ISOFIX child seat: All rear seats feature ISOFIX child seat points for secure and easy installation of child seats.
E-Call
All Isuzu D-Max models come equipped with the innovative E-Call system. In case of an accident, E-Call automatically contacts emergency services and transmits your vehicle's location, saving valuable time and getting you the help you need quickly.
5-Star Safety Rating
The Isuzu D-Max has earned the prestigious 5-star safety rating from Euro NCAP, the independent European car safety assessment organisation. This accolade is a testament to Isuzu's unwavering commitment to developing vehicles that are not only tough and capable but also prioritize the safety of drivers and passengers.
