Air bags play an indispensable part to the safety of modern vehicles. The air bag will immediately blow up to form an air cushion for the passenger to “throw himself on” before the passenger hits the interior structures after a collision, which can alleviate impact and absorb impact energy, thus reducing injury to the passenger involved. |
|
| High strength and energy absorbing bodywork: New structure body is used for Santana 3000. Front and rear impact deformation areas are designed. Lateral impact bars are added, and Pillar A, Pillar B and Pillar C are strengthened. These can effectively absorb impact energy and enhance the safety of passengers in the car. |

A new generation control system MK20-I/E is used on the ABS system of Santana 3000. It produces less noise, its pressure-rise does not take place all of a sudden, and its operation is more stable with a higher braking safety. |
|
| The impact bars on the doors and the body structure combine to form a complete protective system, which can not only absorb the impact energy, but also promptly pass the impact force to all the body areas to provide the insiders with the greatest possible lateral protection at the cost of the least body deformation. |

Double curvature left wing mirror: Being a double curvature structure, the wing mirror is free of blind area with a larger field of vision, thus greatly enhancing the driving safety. Its streamline contour in perfect combination with Pillar A reduces the air drag to a considerable extent. |
|
| Telescopic steering column is adopted on Santana 3000. In case of collision, the upper and lower parts of the steering column automatically separate, so that the driver receives less impact from the steering wheel. Therefore the entire steering system offers a high degree of passive safety. |

All the front and rear seats are provided with three-point seat belts, which fasten passengers by the upper part. The seat belt is outfitted with an emergency locking retractor device. Under normal conditions the seat belt can be pulled out or retracted freely without hindering the passengers. When the passenger is thrown forward, the seat belt retracts automatically. |
|
| The front and rear headrests are adjustable in height or in directions. They provide a cushioning head protection during a car collision. |

The fog light is highly penetrating under bad weather conditions to increase the driving safety. The square fog light previously arranged above the bumper is now put below the bumper at its outer extreme with a better lighting effect. The new built-in fog light looks pretty in its round shape and perfectly agrees with the bodywork styling as a whole. |
|
| The high position brake-light sends the braking signal more conspicuously and effectively to alert the car behind to the necessity of keeping a safe distance, especially under bad driving conditions such as in rainy or foggy weather.

A child safety lock is designed on the back doors. When the latch is pushed towards the door and then the door is shut, it is impossible for anyone to open it from inside using the inner door opener, which remains inoperative even if the retainer is in the unlocking position. However, the door can only be opened from outside, so that the child is protected from accidents resulting from inadvertent pulling of the inner door-handle. |
