The centre section of the seat cushion lifts up and rearward to raise the seat cushion 100 mm (4 inches) also enhancing the child’s visibility out of the vehicle.

FOUR WHEEL DISC ANTI-LOCK BRAKES (ABS)

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC)
Standard on all Journey models, Electronic Stability Control includes Electronic Roll Mitigation, Trailer Sway Damping and All-Speed Traction Control. These features function together to help avoid accidents by enhancing control in all driving conditions. The system senses when a vehicle is starting to spin (oversteer) or plow (understeer), and provides added driving confidence, particularly in rain and snow. It also helps to correct the vehicle’s course by automatically adjusting the throttle and applying the brakes at individual wheels.

ENERGY-ABSORBING STEERING COLUMN
This provides up to four inches of column stroke at an engineered force level, helping reduce the potential for injury in the event of a collision. For driver comfort and convenience, a tilt steering column is standard on all Journey models.

SEAT BELTS
