Technical safety features like Post-Collision Braking, Lane Keeping Alert, and Hill Start Assist work silently in the background to ensure every trip through the surrounding area is as safe as possible. Even younger drivers are accounted for with the MyKey restricted driving mode, allowing you to set parameters for speed and volume.
