Standard safety features on board include: • Airbags: front on both sides, curtain front and rear, seat-integrated side front • Adaptive cruise control • Brake pad wear indicator • Electronic stability control • Hill-start assist to prevent rolling back while pulling away on an incline • Rear parking sensors • Automatic headlights and wipers • Halogen headlights • Two ISOFIX child seat lashing points for the outer rear seats • Tyre-pressure monitoring system You’ve got a number of optional safety features to choose from too. The Visibility Package includes headlight washers along with adaptive xenon headlamps including an automatic high-beam function. You can specify a reversing camera, and keyless entry and ignition is available under the name Comfort Access. The Driving Assistant package would be useful if you’re doing a lot of motorway miles, comprising a lane-departure warning system as well as a forward-collision warning, low-speed automatic braking and a fatigue-detection system. 4.5 out of 5 Reliability Nothing to worry about here.
