Forward Collision Warning (FCW)

Optional

Sensors monitor traffic ahead and warn drivers of impending front-end collisions to allow immediate braking or steering intervention.

Lane Departure Warning (LDW)

Not Equipped

Tracks painted road lane markings and provides audible, visual, or tactile alerts if the vehicle begins drifting unintentionally without a turn signal.

NHTSA 5-Star Safety Ratings Methodology: Government 5-Star Safety Ratings are evaluated under strict NHTSA New Car Assessment Program (NCAP) standards. 5 stars is the highest safety rating achievable. Frontal crash ratings compare vehicles of similar weight classes (within 250 lbs). Side crash ratings compare all vehicles regardless of weight class. Rollover ratings measure vehicle resistance to rolling over during a single-vehicle loss-of-control scenario based on the Static Stability Factor (SSF).
