Active Safety Features

Active safety features are types of mechanisms that by default remain active and increase your safety by trying to avoid car accidents. Active safety features are either electronically or hydraulically controlled. The examples of Active Safety Systems in a car include the following:

• Active cruise control keeps a safe distance from the cars in front of you.
• Active self-correcting steering systems or lane assist makes sure to stay in your lane.
• Active brake assist automatically applies brakes harder for maximum braking power when it senses an emergency stop.
• ABS prevent wheel lockup by monitoring driver commands and correcting skidding during hard stops.
• Active headlight beam aiming systems highlight and follow the road ahead more precisely than conventional headlights.
• Other systems include Traction Control and Electronic Stability Control
