Eos
Safety.
Safety first, last and always.The Eos is an uncompromising vehicle. Sparkling performance is matched by outstanding safety features, both active and passive, to ensure driver and passengers enjoy every journey. |
Features.Active Safety – Everything designed to help prevent accidents from happening. 01. Traction Control (EDL, ASR and ESP) and Braking Control (Brake Assist, ABS and EBD) Traction Control helps to ensure that you maintain control of your vehicle even in difficult driving conditions. Built around three distinctive functions – Electronic Differential Lock (EDL), Anti-Slip Regulation (ASR) and Electronic Stabilisation Program (ESP) – Traction Control improves grip, helps prevent wheel spin and adjusts engine power automatically, depending on the conditions. There are several Braking Control systems, including Anti-lock Braking System (ABS), Brake Assist and Electronic Brake‑pressure Distribution (EDB). Together, these features provide powerful protection as and when you need it. 02. Parking distance sensors The Eos includes rear parking sensors to assist parking. With this technology at hand, reverse parking has never been so easy. Importantly for a convertible, the Eos also includes as standard a rear obstacle sensor for roof opening. 03. Self sealing mobility tyres Fitted as standard to both Eos models, mobility tyres have a polymer coating on their inside surface that encloses foreign bodies and allows punctures up to 5mm in diameter to self-seal. Not only does this improve safety, it can also save on tyre repairs for damage caused by screws or nails. Passive Safety – Design measures taken to protect the occupants of vehicles from injury, or to reduce the risk of injury. 04. Seatbelts All seats feature three-point seatbelts, while the front seats also have belt pre-tensioners (which tighten the belt on impact) and belt force limiters (which reduce forces on passengers). These help position the body so as to minimise injuries in the event of a crash. 05. Airbags Airbags combine with seat belts to help reduce the risk of severe head and chest injuries in collisions. The Eos comes standard with front and front side/head airbags to provide the best possible protection. 06. Safety optimised head restraints Specially contoured front seat head restraints work in conjunction with the seatbacks to control head and upper body movements in the event of a collision, reducing whiplash injuries. 07. Active roll over protection system In the event of a roll over, this system provides additional safety. Spring-loaded roll bars extend over the rear seats as soon as the crash sensors detect a possible roll over, in combination with a high strength windscreen frame providing additional rigidity and protection. |
