Emergency communication via SYNC 4 911 Assist ensures help is always close at hand, while ABS brakes and Brake Assist maximize stopping control in urgent situations. The lane-keeping features complement attentive driving, offering gentle steering nudges that never overwhelm the driver’s sense of control.
