Jetour Safety: Innovation That Protects
Jetour is built on a foundation of quality and innovation, delivering stylishly designed vehicles where safety is a top priority. Based on its core tagline, ‘Drive Yor Future,’ the Chinese brand emphasises that Jetour safety is a fundamental aspect of its vehicle design. From daily commutes to long road trips, Jetour prioritises protection through advanced engineering, intelligent safety systems, and high-quality construction. Notable models in South Africa include the five-seater Jetour Dashing and the seven-seater Jetour X70 Plus, both equipped with advanced safety features designed to inspire confidence on every drive.
Comprehensive Jetour Safety Systems
When it comes to keeping your loved ones safe on the road, there’s no room for compromise. Jetour continues to be at the forefront of safety technology that not only protects the occupants of our vehicles but also pedestrians and people in other vehicles. This commitment to comprehensive road safety has earned Jetour top safety ratings and fuels the brand’s drive to find breakthrough innovations that make the roads safer today and tomorrow.
Jetour prioritises safety by integrating advanced passive and active safety systems that enhance driver control and passenger protection across various road conditions. These cutting-edge Jetour safety features include:
Anti-lock Braking System (ABS): Prevents wheels from locking up during sudden braking, allowing for better handling and reduced stopping distances.
Electronic Brakeforce Distribution (EBD): Works alongside ABS to distribute braking force between the front and rear wheels, improving your Jetour’s stopping efficiency and stability, especially under heavy loads.
Electronic Stability Control (ESC): This is a handy Jetour safety feature that enhances vehicle stability by automatically adjusting braking and engine power to prevent skidding on slippery surfaces.
Traction Control System (TCS): Another important feature in Jetour models is the TCS system, which prevents wheel spin during acceleration by adjusting power delivery for optimal grip on slippery, uneven, or challenging surfaces. With SA’s diverse driving conditions, traction control is vital for safe driving in different terrains, weather, and road surfaces.
HBA (Hydraulic Brake Assist System): This detects emergency braking situations and automatically boosts braking pressure to shorten stopping distances, helping drivers respond more effectively in critical moments.
Hill Hold Control (HHC): Automatically holds the vehicle in place when starting on an incline, preventing rollback and making hill starts smoother and safer.
Hill Descent Control (HDC): Similarly, hill descent control maintains a controlled speed while driving downhill by automatically applying brakes as needed, allowing for safe and steady descents.
Tyre Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS): Under-inflated tires are susceptible to blowouts and make it more difficult to steer or brake. The tyre pressure system monitors your Jetour tyres’ pressures and alerts the driver to any irregularities, reducing the risk of blowouts and improving fuel efficiency.
ISOFIX Child Seat Anchors: Secure mounting points for compatible child seats, providing a stable and reliable way to keep young passengers safe.
Advanced Airbag Systems: Jetour vehicles are equipped with strategically positioned airbags that provide extensive protection for all passengers in the event of a collision, ensuring safety from multiple angles. (4 airbags in the Momentum models and 6 in the Deluxe models).
Rear Parking Assistance: Sensors detect nearby obstacles while reversing, minimising the risk of collisions in tight spaces.
Reinforced Body Structure For Maximum Protection
As part of Jetour vehicle safety is a high-strength body structure designed to enhance passenger safety in the event of a collision. Models like the X70 Plus utilise ultra-high-strength steel (UHSS) in critical areas, including the A-pillars, B-pillars, and roof rails, for improved crash safety.
Additionally, the reinforced chassis and energy-absorbing crumple zones effectively disperse impact forces, minimising the risk of injury. Many Jetour models hold a five-star overall safety rating, highlighting their exceptional ability to safeguard occupants in real-world crash scenarios.
Smart Driver Assistance Features In Your Jetour
Jetour safety takes a step further with a suite of advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) that serve as an extra layer of protection on the road. Using a network of sensors and cameras, these intelligent systems continuously monitor the surroundings, alerting the driver to potential hazards and stepping in when needed to help prevent accidents.
These Jetour safety and driver-assist technologies are designed with complete coverage in mind. Key features include (available on select models):
Lane-keeping Assist*: Monitors road markings and alerts drivers if the vehicle unintentionally drifts out of its lane, promoting safer highway driving.
Blind-spot Monitoring*: Some Jetour vehicles come equipped with blind spot monitoring, an essential safety feature that helps drivers detect unseen vehicles in adjacent lanes. Using sensors, the system provides visual or auditory alerts when another vehicle is in the blind spot, reducing the risk of side collisions and making lane changes safer and more confident.
Rear Cross-traffic Alert*: Designed to assist when reversing out of parking spaces or driveways, this feature uses sensors and cameras to detect approaching vehicles or pedestrians from the side.
360-degree Panoramic Parking Assist*: For added peace of mind, the 360-degree camera system offers a full view of the vehicle’s surroundings, significantly improving situational awareness. By eliminating blind spots and providing real-time visuals, this feature boosts parking safety, makes manoeuvring in tight spaces easier, and reduces the risk of accidents, especially in low-visibility conditions.
