SAFETY
The SZ Territory continues to carry the maximum ANCAP 5-star safety rating across the range. In
addition to the SY MKII Territory safety features, a host of new safety features have been added so that the new Territory offers even better safety and occupant protection.
DRIVER'S KNEE AIRBAG
As part of the vehicle's Intelligent Safety System (lSS), the driver's knee airbag helps to protect
the driver's knees and lower leg areas in the event of a front/front side collision. The inflating
driver's knee airbag acts as a protection barrier between the driver and the vehicle's interior
fixtures by helping to prevent injury to the driver's knees or lower leg areas during a collision.
Emergency Brake Assist (EBA)
EBA is a vehicle safety system designed to ensure maximum braking pressure is applied in an emergency stop situation. By sensing the speed and force with which the brake pedal
is pushed, the EBA system detects if the driver is trying to execute an emergency stop. If in this situation the brake pedal is not fully applied, the system overrides and fully applies the
brakes until the Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) takes over to stop the wheels from locking up. It helps reduce the likelihood of accidents - especially those associated with 'panic stops'
and the common 'nose-to-tail' accidents.
Dynamic Stability Control (DSC)
with Rollover Mitigation
An SUV's higher centre of gravity can increase the risk of a rollover. In conjunction with DSC, the rollover mitigation sensors determine if a vehicle is in danger of rolling over due to extreme lateral forces and applies braking to individual wheels and reduces driving torque to help prevent a rollover and stabilise the vehicle.
