BEFORE
What’s the best safety philosophy? Avoid a collision in the first
place. That’s why we’ve equipped Cruze with numerous safety
features, including the
STABILITRAK® ELECTRONIC STABILITY
CONTROL SYSTEM WITH TRACTION CONTROL
. On slippery surfaces,
StabiliTrak helps you stay the course by detecting the difference
between the path being steered and the direction the vehicle
is actually traveling. It then uses the brakes and, if necessary,
adjusts engine torque to help you keep your Cruze on track.
What’s more,
FOUR-WHEEL ANTILOCK BRAKES help maintain
control and stability during hard braking by preventing wheel
lockup. Other advancements you can count on —including
DAYTIME RUNNING LAMPS and a TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM

—
are just a few of the ways we help you avoid trouble on the road.
DURING
Sometimes, however, trouble finds you. And if a moderate to
severe collision does happen, Cruze is designed to respond
quickly. Sensors throughout the vehicle determine how many of
the
TEN STANDARD AIR BAGS
2
deploy—including knee air bags for
the driver and front passenger, and side-impact head-curtain
air bags. Adding to this protection, the cabin is reinforced with
HIGH-STRENGTH STEEL throughout. Meanwhile, front and rear
“crush zones” are designed to compress in a controlled manner,
helping absorb and channel energy away from the cabin. But our
protective measures don’t end there.
AFTER
Should a collision occur, crucial information can be instantly
relayed to the OnStar command center via
ONSTAR AUTOMATIC
CRASH RESPONSE
.

There, trained OnStar Advisors utilize GPS
technology to pinpoint your exact location and can request that
assistance be sent right away—even if you’re unable to respond.
It’s part of
ONSTAR DIRECTIONS & CONNECTIONS®

which is standard for
six months, because nothing is more important than your safety.
A safety philosophy that RUNS DEEP
