Basic safety features in your car

Family cars not only meet the needs of comfort, convenience, and low fuel consumption, but the safety features equipped on the car are also extremely important factors.

After evaluation and crash tests, vehicle safety equipment is a criterion that users must pay attention to when choosing a suitable car. Safety indicators are evaluated by large organizations such as the US National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), the US Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) or some Japanese car assessment agencies and organizations (NCAP). A car is safe when the score is 4.5 or higher.

Today's basic car models are equipped with standard safety systems such as ABS anti-lock braking system, which prevents the wheels from locking during braking so that the driver can better control his car in all driving conditions.

The ABS braking system helps the vehicle react more effectively when encountering obstacles.

Next, the ESP electronic balance system is also a necessary equipment for cars. This is a very smart electronic system, which is activated when the car loses control, operating by calculating the appropriate braking force on the wheels and controlling the situation to reduce the possibility of the car flipping and losing control.

In addition, modern car models today such as Mitsubishi Pajero Sport and the new generation Ford Everest are also equipped with new functions such as automatic lane departure warning.

When the car is moving at a certain speed, the driver feels sleepy, or is driving unsafely, the car is equipped with a lane departure warning control system that will automatically steer into the middle of the lane of the vehicle being driven, and at the same time the steering wheel on the car with the warning system on the car will warn you to help you drive back to normal.

Collision warning system is also a modern feature that should be equipped on cars. Your car will control the distance of the car to obstacles and warn of certain distances to help you move easily in narrow road conditions.

In addition, airbags are also a necessary condition to increase safety features on the car. Currently, basic car models are equipped with at least two front airbags.

Airbags are air bags that inflate within milliseconds of an accident to help you avoid hitting the dashboard or steering wheel. Some modern cars today are also equipped with knee airbags to help users stay safe in the event of an accident.

Another piece of equipment that many people do not pay attention to is the child seat. This is an important safety device when there are children in the car. The child seat needs to be equipped with a LATCH anchor and a seat belt to keep the child in the back seat when your car is moving.
