Balanced Safety
Safety is understood
Any discussion of the safety measures in the new Pajero should begin with the benefits of the new monocoque body. A safety-enhanced shell, comprising highly rigid cabin structure and impact-absorbing crushable zones, is further strengthened by a reinforced built-in frame. Occupants are protected regardless of impact source, affording them the peace of mind to fully enjoy the new Pajero's myriad all-terrain capabilities.
Additional safety measures include a rationalised body layout, impact-absorbing headlining, Multi-Mode ABS, and SRS front and side airbags.
Safety-enhanced body The new Pajero's safety-enhanced monocoque body helps protect cabin occupants from impact injury from most collision angles.
Safety-design fuel tank Positioned ahead of the rear axle for added safety, the fuel tank is doubly protected during hard off-roading by a lightweight yet strong, resin underprotector.
SRS airbags Adding to the collision protection offered by SRS(Supplemental Restraint System) front airbags, the driver and front passenger also benefit from new SRS side airbags, which activate only in side collisions. Maximum protection in a collision is avilable only when occupants use the standard 3-point ELR seatbelts.
Multi-Mode ABS (Anti-lock Braking System) has also been improved, and now features four braking channels as well as four sensors, plus advanced new technologies linked to the ABS computer: EBD (Electronic Brake-force Distribution) evenly distributes brake pressure regardless of load; an hydraulic brake booster improves response in emergency braking, while stabilising overall brake pressure.
Front & rear brakes Larger 16" ventilated front discs and 16" ventilated rear drum-in-discs ensure safe and sure braking.
