Safety
Suzuki also takes advantage of Nissan's electronic brake controls, such as active limited-slip traction control, electronic stability system, hill descent control and hill start assist. Hill descent control helps maintain a slow, steady speed down steep hills so the driver can concentrate on steering. Hill start assist helps keep the truck from rolling back on a steep hill when the driver moves from the brake pedal to the gas pedal. Safety features include:
Standard seat-mounted side-impact airbags Standard side curtain airbags
