4 Safety Features to Look for in Your Next Family Car
We all know that family is the most important thing in life, and so is their safety. Here are five of the best features to look for in your next family car.
Seat belts
Seat belts are the most important feature for your family car to have – especially in an unfortunate event on the roads. Look for new seat belt designs that have additional features that improve performance even more.
- Adjustable upper belts
- Seat belt pre-tensioner
- Energy management features
- Centre seat lap belt
Antilock Brake System
An antilock brake system (ABS) prevents your car wheels from locking and allows for greater steering control. In an emergency, we are all prone to “panic breaking” which leaves us at greater risk of collision – an ABS reduces this risk. Also look for brake assist which can help an ABS to function even better.
Traction Control
We all need more control! Traction Control systems optimise grip and stability of the car on the road during acceleration by measuring wheel rotation. Traction control automatically adjusts the engine output so your wheels don’t slip. Mainly found in large vehicles, make sure you have this for your large family car.
Rear View Camera
A rear view camera can save lives, as well as save your car from scratches and bumps. Mounted on the rear of your vehicle, reversing cameras improve your visibility and allow you more control. Without having to turn around you can see your blind spot and make better and faster decisions.
