Child Safety
SOS Post-Crash Alert System
TM
• Activates the hazard flashers and sounds the horn
after a crash where the airbags deploy
(1)
• Sounding the horn and flashing the hazards makes
the vehicle easier to locate if the accident happens
off the roadway
• System operates until deactivated or battery power
is depleted
SecuriLock

Passive Anti-theft System
•
Uses an electronically coded ignition key (with billions
of possible codes)
• Designed to help prevent the engine from being started
unless a coded key programmed to the vehicle is used
Perimeter Alarm
• Monitors unauthorized entry of the doors, hood and
trunk when the vehicle is locked
LATCH (Lower Anchors and Tethers
for CHildren) System
• Consists of a top tether anchor point and two rigid bars
located where the seat cushion meets the seatback
• Rear outboard seating positions offer LATCH provisions
• LATCH-compatible child safety seat attaches to the
lower anchor points by means of flexible tethers or
rigid latch bars
• LATCH assists in providing a secure attachment
and uniform installation method to help reduce the
likelihood of an improper child safety seat installation
Rear-Door Child Safety Locks

from the inside
Emergency Trunk Release
• Allows a person accidentally locked in the trunk
to escape
