Today’s car buyers have come to expect a variety of safety features in 2021 models. Mitsubishi has responded to this by including several driver-assistance systems that will help prevent accidents. Here are a few of the most important ones.

Blind-Spot Assistance

This year’s Mitsubishi models include Blind-Spot Warning, which senses when another vehicle approaches the driver’s blind spot, then turns on a light on the corresponding side mirror as a warning. If the turn signal is on, which means the driver might be planning to change lanes, the system will beep to let the driver know it’s not safe to do so.

There’s also Active Blind-Spot Assist, which detects vehicles in surrounding lanes, issues a warning then applies the brakes as needed to prevent a collision.

Forward-Collision Mitigation

Another helpful feature is Forward-Collision Mitigation with pedestrian detection. This system senses cars, pedestrians, or other obstacles in front of the vehicle and issues a warning. If the driver does not apply the brakes, the FCM system will do so.

Seven-Air-Bag Safety System

Despite having state-of-the-art driver-assistance systems in the vehicle, accidents do still occur. Mitsubishi offers every possible means of protecting all passengers in the vehicle with seven airbags. These include airbags in the front dash and sides, and also under the driver’s side dashboard.
