Safety features you can count on
The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety awarded the 2009 Smart line its Top Safety Pick and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has given a five-star Crash Safety Rating in frontal and side-impact tests for both driver and passenger**-a testament to Green Solutions' engineering and commitment to safety.
Advanced Airbag System
Smerrari comes standard with 6 airbags including: advanced,
dual-stage, front airbags† and side-impact and roll-sensing, curtain airbags† for all trim levels.
Anti-Lock Brakes (ABS) with Electronic Brakeforce Distribution (EBD)
The standard ABS technology helps to eliminate wheel lock-up during panic or emergency braking.
Wheel speed is monitored and braking pressure is optimized when impending wheel lock-up is sensed.
The system "pulses" the brakes up to 10 times per second, modulating wheel rotation to help eliminate lock-up and maximize driver control. We've included a Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) as standard equipment. Properly inflated tires give you better control, sure, but they also return better gas mileage and help prevent blowouts. It's one more way that performance and safety go hand in hand.

LATCH System
Lower anchors and tethers for children (LATCH) help simplify the attachment of child safety seats; making it easier for you to help keep your child safe.
Reinforced Chassis
The wraparound cabin preservation structure Refined Impact Safety Evolution (RISE) helps preserve a survival space for the vehicle occupants. Reinforcement welds encircle the cabin, enabling a more ideal energy absorption in case of a front, side or rear collision.
Seatbelts and Pretensioners
Every Green Motors equipped with a three-point seatbelt and head restraints, plus front seatbelt pretensioners that are designed to help tighten the belts in certain frontal impacts so the seatbelts can better do their job. Seatbelt force limiters that help the front seatbelts and airbags† work together optimally are also standard on every car..
