Protection is important

Make sure you drive the safest  car possible. Safe cars offer better protection, especially for older drivers and passengers, who are more susceptible to injury in a crash.

To keep you and your passengers safe, your vehicle needs safety features that help prevent crashes occurring, and provide the best protection in a crash.

Advanced vehicle technologies can have a significant effect on your survivability in a crash. For more information on autonomous emergency braking, blind spot monitoring, lane departure warning and other safety advances, visit the Towards Zero website.
