Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) electronically regulates brake fluid pressure on each wheel, preventing wheel lockup during sudden braking to enhance vehicle control in potentially hazardous situations.

Adding to ABS, the EBD optimizes the braking strength distribution between front and rear brakes whatever your rear cargo and passenger load may be.

Brake Assist can help reduce braking distances by up to 10-15% by sensing the driver's braking speed and stress in hard or panic braking situations. The extra pedal pressure delivers extra stopping power.

X-TRAIL is the first in its class to have ventilated disc brakes on all four wheels. Heat is dissipated more rapidly to improve braking action, promote less brake fade and enhance brake life.

VDC changes engine power and/or applies the brakes individually as necessary to help stabilize the vehicle in severe turning situations.

The Vehicle Security System flashes the headlights and sounds the horn if there's any attempt to open the doors or hood without a key, or remove key cylinders.

X-TRAIL is equipped with an engine immobiliser providing protection against theft. If uncomfortable in a carpark or street, using the keyfob, you can push the panic button to sound the alarm for 20 seconds.
