Safety
Standard across the range, Isuzu’s Intelligent Driver Assistance System (IDAS) technology includes an extensive list of both active and passive safety systems. Employing state-of-the-art sensors and a stereo camera, IDAS constantly monitors your surrounding environment for danger. Should it detect a collision is imminent, the system will work to help the driver to defuse dangerous situations via alert systems and automated functions. Each D-MAX model includes eight airbags as standard and a stronger, more robust chassis, as well as a reinforced cabin safety cell for ultimate protection.
And to prove its credentials, the D-MAX has achieved a 5-star ANCAP safety rating.
Intelligent Adaptive Cruise Control
When Traffic Sign Recognition detects a new speed sone, the IACC can change the vehicle speed and can activate the brakes when brake lights are detected ahead.
Eight Airbags
For ultimate protection, every D-MAX comes with eight airbags including a centre airbag to protect front seat occupants in side-on collisions.
5-Star ANCAP Safety Rating
A 5-star ANCAP rating is the pinnacle of safety a vehicle can achieve in Australia. The Isuzu D-MAX achieved a 5-star rating against ANCAP’s stringent testing criteria, making it one of the safest vehicles on New Zealand roads.
Forward Collision Warning
An audible warning sounds and red warning lights flash on the dashboard when an obstacle is detected in your path. If your D-MAX detects a potential collision is imminent, emergency braking is applied automatically.
Electronic Stability Control
ESC kicks-in when under or oversteering occurs and helps restore control.
Trailer Sway Control
TSC will apply brakes to individual vehicle wheels to help bring the trailer safely back under control.
Lane Keep Assist & Departure Prevention
The Lane Keep Assist system is designed to detect road lane markings and assist steering operation by keeping your vehicle in its lane while Adaptive Cruise Control is engaged. This feature can be disabled.
Lane Departure Warning alerts the driver when the vehicle starts to drift out of the current lane. This feature can also be disabled via the Lane Support System Switch.
Emergency Lane Keeping & Blind Spot Monitoring
If there is a danger of collision with vehicles approaching from behind in an adjacent lane, the vehicle will help avoid collision by preventing lane departure. This feature can be disabled.
Reversing Camera
Experience higher image quality and brighter view with the D-MAX's improved digital reversing camera.
Autonomous Emergency Braking
Isuzu's Autonomous Emergency Braking (AEB) is a core component of its IDAS (Intelligent Driver Assistance System), using stereo cameras to detect vehicles, pedestrians, and cyclists to prevent or mitigate collisions. It provides audible/visual warnings before automatically applying brakes if the driver fails to react.
Rear Cross Traffic Alert
Monitors your surrounding area while reversing into traffic, providing visual and audible warnings should an object approach from left to right.
