Travel Assist

Driving with a little help behind the wheel

From steering support to speeding up or slowing down, IQ.DRIVE^® technology helps keep your mind at ease. Our engineers would tell you it’s because it has hands on semi-automated driving capabilities, but we like to think of it as an added boost of reassurance to help keep you safer on the road.*

Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC)

Going with the flow made more stress-free

When the road gets busy, IQ.DRIVE^® can help keep things cruising. When dealing with traffic on the highway, it uses sensors to detect vehicles ahead of you, helping adjust your speed, and manages the distance between you and what’s in front of you, adapting to the situation you’re in.*

Active Blind Spot Monitor

Helping steer you clear of the things you might not see

When you’re focused on the journey ahead, your vehicle’s IQ.DRIVE^® technologies can help by alerting you when another vehicle may be hiding in your blind spots and helping counter-steer when necessary.*

Rear Traffic Alert

Backing you up when you back up

You can’t always see what might be crossing behind you when reversing out of a parking spot or backing out of a driveway. IQ.DRIVE^® technologies can help monitor what’s behind, alerting you when cars and motorcycles that could cause a collision are detected and helping hit the brakes before it’s too late.*

Front Assist

Alerting you before a collision

Even when we’re driving at our best, we still need to keep an eye out to avoid accidents with other cars or pedestrians in front of us. Thankfully, the IQ.DRIVE^® technology monitors the road ahead with the ability to help brake on its own. It’ll first provide audio and visual alerts when you’re driving at higher speeds and at risk of a potential collision. Then, if necessary, it’ll automatically apply brakes to help mitigate or avoid a collision.*

Emergency Assist

Helping you stop when you can’t

When Travel or Lane Assist is active and something serious happens where you lose the ability to drive, IQ.DRIVE^® technologies can help bring you to a stop. First, it’ll alert you numerous times and if you’re still un-responsive, it’ll bring the car to a controlled stop, helping to keep you and others on the road safer.*

Lane Assist

Helping you stay between the lines for the long haul

No matter what kind of road you’re driving on, if you’re 35 MPH or faster, IQ.DRIVE^® can help keep you from going over the lines. If your vehicle begins to drift without your turn signal on, IQ.DRIVE^® can warn you and counter steer when activated to help ensure you stay in your lane.

Light Assist

When driving at 18 MPH or faster and your surroundings get dark, the available Light Assist driver assistance feature turns on to help make sure the road ahead is lit, and when your speed slows to 12 MPH, it turns off. You can set the high beams into “auto” mode, so they’ll automatically activate when there’s low light, and turn off when there’s an oncoming vehicle, or you enter an area that’s well lit by the environment or by traffic conditions.*

Park Distance Control with Maneuver Braking

The available Park Distance Control helps take the guess work out of parking your car, while Maneuver Braking helps apply the brake automatically to help mitigate the chance of a collision with stationary objects while reversing into a spot. With Park Distance Control’s audio beeps and visual support, you’ll know if you’re getting too close to detected obstacles in front of or behind your car. It’ll also share additional information on your display, so you can see what’s behind your car as you reverse within a parking spot.*

Dynamic Road Sign Display

From traffic signs to speed limits, when you need a reminder about the signs on the road, the available Dynamic Road Sign Display helps share the information you want. It also features warnings for speed, restricted traffic zones and more, so you can remain focused on the road ahead.*

Performance

There’s plenty of fun out there, find yours with Taos

We designed the Taos to make your daily driving experience a joy. And with the available 4MOTION^® All-Wheel Drive™ and a turbocharged engine, it’s ready to handle the not so everyday, too.

Snow Mode

In Snow Mode, the engine can upshift earlier, which helps keep it in a lower RPM range and helps prevent too much power from going to the wheels too quickly.

On-Road Mode

In good conditions on a paved road, stay in On-Road Mode, and choose from four different settings combining performance and comfort.

Off-Road Mode

Off-Road Mode can help maintain traction on challenging road surfaces. On steep grades, it can activate Hill Descent Control to help keep a safe speed as you descend.*

Safety

A lot goes in before you do.

Safety is a core value to us. And while we can’t predict everything you might encounter, we can and do spend long hours trying to help you prepare for it.

Rear View Camera System

Stay focused.

Benefit from the view of a wide lens when you want it. It can help you see obstacles when backing up, a feature so helpful you’ll wonder how you ever managed without it.

Safety Cage

We’re rigid about safety.

Front and rear crumple zones help absorb crash energy, while a rigid safety cage helps distribute forces away from the driver and passengers.

Automatic Post-Collision Braking System

We think ahead.

Not every collision brings a car to stop. That’s why our vehicles include the Automatic Post-Collision Braking System. It can also help slow the vehicle down after a collision, helping reduce the chance of any additional impacts.*

Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)

Safety. Engineered from the ground up.

Monitoring and maintaining proper air pressure in your tires helps with efficiency and safety. The TPMS helps alert you to a loss of tire pressure so you know when to add air.
