STABILITY CONTROL / TRACTION CONTROL STANDARD
Helping to keep you firmly in control, the StabiliTrak stability control system and full-function traction control are both standard. StabiliTrak is an engineering advance designed to improve safety, stability and control on most road surfaces. Sensors read the position of your steering wheel, vehicle speed, brake pressure, lateral acceleration and turning rate, and feed the data to an onboard computer. If conditions cause an inadequateb response to your steering input, the computer adjusts both engine speed and brake pressure to individual wheels to help you keep on track. Terrain’s StabiliTrak system also includes sensors programmed to help lessen the chance of a rollover.
HOLD STEADY
Terrain brakes have an ingenious hill-hold feature. If you stop on a hill—at a traffic light or a stop sign, for instance—it keeps the vehicle from rolling back while you’re moving your foot from brake to accelerator. It’s one of many engineering applications that make Terrain a pleasure to drive.
THE CONFIDENCE OF BEING CONNECTED
Terrain is engineered to provide a confident driving experience that is both smooth and responsive. Coupled with its rigid steel structure, Terrain’s long wheelbase and wide, athletic stance help create the sensation of being connected to the road. Building on that firm foundation, our engineers specified components you might associate with a premium sport sedan: four-wheel independent suspension, variable-assist rack-and-pinion power steering and vented four-wheel disc brakes with ABS. Precisely tuning those elements, they were able to give Terrain impressive handling characteristics. And for all its utility, Terrain delivers a comfortable ride. Terrain’s available intelligent All-Wheel-Drive (AWD) system delivers power to the front wheels during normal driving, channeling it to the rear wheels as well in conditions such as rain-slick pavement, snow or mud. It works seamlessly and automatically, with no action required by the driver.
Maximum trailer weight ratings are calculated assuming base vehicle, except for any options necessary to achieve the rating, plus driver. The weight of optional equipment, passengers, cargo and required trailering equipment will reduce the maximum trailer weight your vehicle can tow. See your dealer for details.
