Crash safety requirements become more demanding in 2010. Terrain is designed to meet them now - and provide protection before, during and after a collision as well.
SAFETY BEFORE: ACCIDENT AVOIDANCE
Commanding view of the road provided by:
- Increased glass area.
- SUV-like seating position.
- Ability to adjust seat and steering wheel for optimal driving position.
Lights including Daytime Running Lamps and fog lamps.
New larger 4-wheel disc brakes with ABS and Panic Brake Assist provide confident stopping ability.
Standard StabiliTrak with Traction Control and Roll-Over Mitigation automatically corrects understeer and oversteer, keeping Terrain traveling in the desired direction and reduces the tendency for rollover.
Standard Tire Pressure Monitoring System constantly monitors all four doors and alerts the driver if there is a drop in pressure so corrective action can be taken.
Standard rear child security locks prevent children from opening rear doors from inside the vehicle. Terrain adds to this feature by putting the activation button on the instrument panel, allowing parents to activate or deactivate the locks without getting out of the vehicle.
Anti-Pinch Feature prevents objects from being pinched when the Express-Up window is closing.
SAFETY DURING: OCCUPANT PROTECTION
Advanced safety construction using high-strength steels. Nearly 100% of Terrain's structure is built of high-strength or advanced high-strength steels, putting a zone of impact protection around occupants. This premium construction also provides a solid, upscale sedan feel and extremely low NVH.
LATCH (Lower Anchors and Top tehters for CHildren) at all three rear seating positions allow child safety seats to be securely attached.
3-point safety belts are located at all seating positions.
Driver and front-passenger seat belt pretensioners and energy-absorbing retractors automatically deploy in frontal and rear collisions.
Six air bags including dual-stage frontal air bags with Passenger Sensing System (PSS), front thorax side-impact air bags and head-curtain side-impact air bags.
SAFETY AFTER: EMERGENCY ASSITANCE
Standard OnStar service provides unparalleled personal security. No competitor offers anything similar. Automatic Crash Response automatically alerts an OnStar Advisor who requests emergency help to be sent to your exact location. Doors can be unlocked remotely for access by first responders. During severe weather and other natural disasters, OnStar can provide evacuation routes, shelter locations, updates and a connection to loved ones with Crisis Assist.
SECURITY
Pass-Key III+ includes an elctronic engine immobilizer that makes it impossible to start the new Terrain without the properly encoded key.
Available Smart Remote Start allows the new Terrain to be started from over 325' away. The system will also automatically heat or cool the interior.
Remote Keyless Entry system includes a user-activated panic alarm to help draw attention to or scare off an intruder.
24/7 roadside assistance for emergency lockout, fuel fill and towing are part of the New Vehicle Limited Warranty.
