When road conditions deteriorate, this feature can help you stay in control. The standard AdvanceTrac Electronic Stability Enhancement System with class-exclusive* Roll Stability Control (RSC) automatically applies the brakes and modulates engine torque to help maintain control whenever it detects wheelslip, understeer or oversteer. It also helps maintain more control in adverse road conditions such as ice, gravel or rain.**

**Remember that even advanced technology cannot overcome the laws of physics. It’s always possible to lose control of a vehicle due to inappropriate driver input for the conditions.

Enhanced airbag* protection — what a smart idea. The standard Intelligent Safety System features sensors along the front and sides of the vehicle help determine crash severity and whether it was a front, side-impact or rollover event. Sensors inside the vehicle determine which restraint system or combination will help provide appropriate protection for each front-seat occupant.

This comprehensive restraint strategy includes adaptive driver and front-passenger airbags, with venting and adaptive airbag tethers, a driver seat-track-position sensor, front passenger-sensing system, adaptive load-limiting safety-belt retractors and an adaptive steering column.

*Always wear your safety belt and secure children in the rear seat.

The Safety Canopy system enhances side-curtain airbag protection. Utilizing side-curtain airbags and a rollover sensor, the Safety Canopy system helps enhance protection for front passengers and outboard passengers seated in the first and second rows. In certain side-impact crashes or certain rollover events, the sensor triggers a prolonged inflation of the side-curtain airbags that deploy from the headliner.

A little help securing your most precious cargo. Mountaineer features Lower Anchors and Tether anchors for CHildren (LATCH) for all second-row seat positions. Designed for ease of use, these anchors make securing infant and child safety seats quick and convenient, while helping ensure your confidence.

No more guessing whether the tire pressure is low. When the tire pressure goes below the recommended tire inflation level (excluding replacement tire), a warning is displayed in the message center. At that point, you should inflate the tire to the recommended air pressure level.
