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 Statesman 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. Seatbelt 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 seatbelt pretensioners are triggered. The Statesman uses a new, seamless, laminated plastic anti-rupture fuel tank.
