The driver and front passenger supplementary airbags are built right into the front seats, so they are always in the right position.

Roof-mounted curtain side-impact supplementary airbags deploy if sensors detect an imminent rollover.

Headrests that fight back against sudden jolts: active head restraints move forward and upward to support the head in the event of rear impact, helping reduce the risk of whiplash.

Pathfinder's seatbelts are outfitted with special systems that immediately lock when they detect sudden braking and release to allow for movement once the event has passed.

Mounted to protect the rear occupants from major injury, the rear airbags deploy in the event of a frontal collision.

Zone Body construction means passengers sit in a reinforced occupant zone, incorporating front and rear crushable zones to help protect in the event of a collision.

Crumple zones are built in the body structure to help to absorb collision energy before it reaches the passenger cabin.

Reinforced beams help retain the structural rigidity of the passenger cabin and allow forces to be dispersed over a larger area.
