Advanced Safety Technology
Every Isuzu MU-X includes a network of safety features that operate automatically and independently, working tirelessly to protect you. Isuzu’s Intelligent Driver Assistance System◊ (IDAS) technology which encapsulates passive and active safety systems, is standard across every MU-X model. Using state-of-the-art sensors and multiple cameras, the MU-X constantly monitors your surrounding environment.
Tested To New 2022 ANCAP Criteria
A 5-Star ANCAP rating is the pinnacle of safety a vehicle can achieve in Australia. With new and more rigorous testing introduced for 2022, it is now even harder for a vehicle to achieve a 5-Star rating. Every MU-X model has been awarded a 5-Star ANCAP rating so you can be confident you're in good hands.
Active Safety Features
The MU-X is packed with built-in active safety features that keep you and your passengers safe by helping avoiding accidents.
Autonomous Emergency Braking
If your MU-X detects a potential collision, emergency braking is applied automatically.
Forward Collision Warning
An audible warning sounds and red warning lights flash on the dashboard when an obstacle is detected in your path.
Post-Collision Brake Assist
In the event of an accident where the airbags are activated, Post-Collision Braking automatically uses the brakes to help bring the vehicle to a safe stop.
Turn Assist with AEB
If your MU-X detects a potential collision during a turn, emergency braking is applied automatically.
Misacceleration Mitigation
In slow moving areas such as car parks, the stereo cameras determine whether the accelerator has been applied accidentally. Should a potential collision be detected, the accelerator is suppressed.
Trailer Sway Control (TSC)
Designed to recognise early signs of dangerous trailer sway, TSC automatically applies the brake on individual wheels, as well as reducing engine torque, to bring the trailer safely back under control.
Driver Attention Assist
Driver Attention Assist has been designed to identify signs of fatigue or inaccurate driving behaviour.
Rain Sensing Wipers
Standard across the range, the Automatic Rain Sensing Wipers automatically wipes the windshield when needed and varies the frequency of the wipe depending on the amount of rain detected.
Automatic High Beam
Headlights automatically turn on when it is dark, such as at dusk or in underground car parks. During travel, the MU-X dims the high beams automatically to avoid dazzling other drivers.
Daytime Running LIghts: LED
Automatic Bi-LEDs illuminate farther and wider, turning on independently when the MU-X senses low-light conditions. They also feature LED Day Time Running Lights (DRLs) for extra visibility on the road during the day. Standard on all models.
Lane Driving Features
Lane Departure Prevention
Lane Departure Prevention is activated if the vehicle is about to depart from the driver's lane. The system assists by steering the vehicle in the correct direction to help prevent lane departure. This feature can also be disabled via the Lane Support System (LSS) Switch.
Lane Departure Warning
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 (LSS) Switch.
Emergency Lane Keeping
If there is danger of collision with vehicles approaching from behind in an adjacent lane, the vehicle will help avoid the collision by preventing lane departure. This feature can also be disabled via the Lane Support System (LSS) Switch.
Lane Keep Assist
The Lane Keep Assist (LKA) 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 also be disabled via the Lane Support System (LSS) Switch.
Lane Support System (LSS) Switch
The Lane Support System (LSS) Switch, located on the steering wheel allows the driver to toggle the LSS on-or-off by pressing and holding the Switch for two seconds. The LSS includes Lane Departure Warning (LDW), Lane Departure Prevention (LDP), Emergency Lane Keeping (ELK) and Lane Keep Assist (LKA). Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) will still function regardless if the LKA is disabled via the Switch.
Parking Safety Features
Front & Rear Parking Sensor
Provides instantaneous feedback regarding nearby obstacles at low speed on LS-T & LS-U models. (LS-M models have rear park assist sensors only)
Reversing Camera
The MU-X gives you eyes in the back of your head with a reversing camera and dynamic guide lines. Perfect for tricky parking situations, hitching a trailer or reversing out of a driveway.
Rear Cross Traffic Alert
Rear Cross Traffic Alert (RCTA) monitors your surrounding area while reversing into traffic, providing visual and audible warnings should an object approach from the left or right. (RCTA will automatically disable when a towing device is connected to the vehicle via a genuine Tow Bar Wiring Harness).
Traffic Safety Features
Adaptive Cruise Control
Automatically adjusts your speed based on vehicles around you, with a Stop and Go functionality holding for up to 5 minutes when stopped.
Traffic Sign Recognition
The MU-X recognises traffic signs, displaying information such as speed limits in the Multi-Information Display on the dash for easy reference.
Rear Cross Traffic Alert
Rear Cross Traffic Alert (RCTA) monitors your surrounding area while reversing into traffic, providing visual and audible warnings should an object approach from the left or right. (RCTA will automatically disable when a towing device is connected to the vehicle via a genuine Tow Bar Wiring Harness).
Blind Spot Monitor
Blind Spot Monitor (BSM) provides a visual warning in your side mirrors when an obstacle is approaching in your blind spot. (BSM will automatically disable when a towing device is connected to the vehicle via a genuine Tow Bar Wiring Harness).
Passive Safety Features
While the MU-X does everything it can to avoid driving incidents, there's a range of built-in passive safety features just in case.
Eight Airbags
For ultimate protection, every MU-X comes with eight airbags including a centre airbag to protect front seat occupants in side-on collisions.
ISOFIX Mounts
Every MU-X model is fitted with two ISOFIX in the second row seats. The additional three top tether points at the back of the second row seats allows for the option of mounting three child seats along the second row.
Anti-Lock Brake System
Anti-lock Braking Systems prevents the wheels of the vehicle locking during emergency braking, enabling steering control to be retained.
Ladder Chassis
A large chassis rail cross-section provides exceptional impact energy absorption in the event of a frontal impact.
