Good ratings in frontal offset crash tests were typical for this platform.
ABS:
Standard Anti-lock Braking System (ABS).
Traction Control:
Available Traction Control System (TCS).
Airbags:
Frontal airbags, available side curtain airbags (depending on trim/options).
Oil Change Interval:
Typically 5,000 - 7,500 miles or 6 months, whichever comes first, depending on driving conditions. Refer to manual for precise recommendation.
Transmission Fluid Change:
Recommended every 60,000 - 100,000 miles, or per manual recommendations. Use only specified fluid.
Engine Oil:
