> 2012 Flex Features: Safety

AdvanceTrac® with Roll Stability Control™ (RSC®), standard on Flex, is a stability control system with gyroscopic sensors measuring both vehicle roll and turning rates. Corner too quickly or swerve to avoid an object and RSC applies brake pressure and reduces engine power to help keep you under control.* And it all happens in the time it takes to blink an eye. Flex offers Trailer Sway Control that works with the AdvanceTrac® with the RSC®. It uses the sensor that measures yaw motion to determine if the trailer is swaying. If necessary, Trailer Sway Control applies precise braking or adjusted engine torque to help bring both vehicle and trailer under control. Trailer Sway Control is included in the Class III Trailer Tow Package, available on all models.

*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.

Flex provides dual-stage front seat airbags along with the advanced energy management features included in the Personal Safety System®. Also standard are front seat-mounted side impact airbags. And there's The Safety Canopy® System with rollover sensor and side curtain airbags that helps protect outboard occupants in all three rows. This system has "roll-fold" technology: the curtain airbag is designed to position itself between the occupant's head and side window glass.

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

The smooth stopping action of 4-wheel disc Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) is standard on every Flex. When you pair AdvanceTrac® with Roll Stability Control™ it applies the anti-lock brakes as one of the measures it takes to help keep the wheels firmly planted and maintain vehicle control.

It's very important to check your tire pressure regularly to keep all four inflated within the manufacturer's specified range, because tire pressure affects ride comfort, safety, and fuel economy. That's why Flex comes equipped with a standard Tire Pressure Monitoring System.

Note: Spare tire not part of TPMS.
