Safety for Cyclists

When the left turn indicator is activated, the nearside AIRBARS automatically deploy at less than 15 mph, providing a highly visible warning to cyclists and other VRUs.

Cyclists wait behind the vehicle where the driver can see them in the rearview mirror because they see the AIRBARS as a physical barrier.
