to help
reduce the risk of injury to driver and front passengers, the dual-stage frontal air
bags in acadia have sensors that gauge the severity of a crash, then determine
whether to employ one or two levels of inflation. acadia also features a
passenger sensing system for the outboard front passenger that automatically
turns off the air bag if the passenger is under the appropriate weight.
heAd curtAin side-impAct Air bAgs

these air bags unfurl from the roof
rail like a protective curtain for outboard passengers and can be activated by
either rollover sensors or side-impact sensors.
side-impAct Air bAgs

to help protect the thorax and pelvic regions of the
driver and outside front passenger in a side-impact collision, acadia models
include standard side-impact air bags mounted on the driver and outside
front passenger seats.
lAtch child seAt Anchoring sYstem Make it easier to properly install
a child seat. latCH stands for
lower Anchors and top tethers for children.
it means that a latCH-equipped child seat will install to specially designed
retainer hooks in your acadia. it also enables a child seat top tether strap
to be attached that helps limit movement in a forward crash to help reduce
the chance of injury.
pAss-keY iii+ theft deterrent sYstem preventing unauthorized
starting attempts in your acadia comes down to a tiny chip found in your
ignition key. it functions as an electronic “fingerprint” that disables your
starting system if it detects a theft attempt is underway.
reinforced steel sAfetY cAge design acadia’s robust body-frame
integral structure is engineered to help maintain the integrity of the
passenger compartment in the event of a collision.
stAbilitrAk stAbilitY control sYstem to help you stay in control when
the road is loose, snowy, icy, wet or uneven, stabilitrak uses a network of vehicle
sensors to monitor how your acadia is responding to your steering and braking
commands. if the system determines your vehicle is not responding properly, it
can pulse the brakes or reduce engine power to help you stay on the path being
steered. stabilitrak is not a substitute for common sense; please drive carefully
within the limits of the road conditions and your vehicle’s capabilities.
tire pressure monitoring sYstem
12
properly inflated tires are critical
to your comfort, vehicle control and economy. tire pressure Monitoring uses
tiny sensors inside the wheel to “broadcast” tire pressure to your vehicle,
which alerts you to their status and inflation level through the driver
information Center. if you subscribe to Onstar Vehicle diagnostics, this
information is part of their monthly e-mail update, or if you have the Onstar
remotelink app, you can check the status from your smartphone.
