DUAL front airbags and front side airbags are standard. The driver's airbag has low pressure inflators designed to prevent injury from airbag inflation. The Caprice uses a front structure designed around "soft pulse" crash energy management principles. The structure behind the front wheels has been designed to manage narrow offset collisions and reinforced side structures protect against side impacts. Seat belt webbing clamps and buckle pretensioners assist safety belt performance. The car's systems turn off the engine and fuel pump, unlock the doors and switch on the dome lamp when the seat belt pretensioners are triggered. A warning triangle is stored in the boot lid and a first aid kit is accessed via the "ski" port in the rear seat.
