Stand out, stay safe
Rukus is uncompromising when it comes to safety. It's loaded with world-class safety features to keep you and your passengers safe. Rukus safety equipment includes Vehicle Stability Control (VSC) and Traction Control (TRC), Active Braking with intelligence (AB-i) incorporating Anti-skid Braking System (ABS) with Electronic Brake-force Distribution (EBD) and Brake Assist (BA) and a suite of driver and passenger airbags to cushion you in the event of an accident.
World-class brake system
Rukus has plenty of force to pull you up in a hurry with Active Braking with intelligence (AB-i) incorporating Anti-skid Braking System (ABS) with Electronic Brake-force Distribution (EBD) and Brake Assist (BA).
Anti skid braking system (ABS)
The anti-skid braking system on the Rukus automatically controls the brakes and helps prevent your wheels from locking up when you hit the brakes hard during an emergency stop. This helps you maintain control of the steering, helping you to avoid an accident.
ABS constantly monitors the wheels, and if it detects that the wheels are beginning to lock, it adjusts the braking pressure to free the lock-up. This improves steering control during emergency braking and helps the brakes achieve optimum braking performance.
Electronic Brake Force Distribution (EBD)
This sophisticated brake system minimises stopping distances by shifting braking pressure to the wheels with the most grip. It senses the weight transfer of the vehicle when the brakes are applied, and automatically adjusts pressure distribution to each of the brakes accordingly.
So if you're carrying a heavy load in the back and need to stop quickly, the brake system senses the extra weight in the rear of the car and applies more braking to the rear wheels. Conversely, if more of the weight is in the front of the car, more braking force is applied to the front wheels
EBD also controls the brake forces between the left and right wheels when brakes are applied while cornering to improve braking performance.
Brake Assist (BA)
Too many accidents happen because drivers can't stop their cars fast enough or wheel lock-up causes the vehicle to skid out of control. With Brake Assist, it's easier to stop your Rukus in a hurry. Brake Assist interprets a sudden, quick push of the brake pedal as emergency braking and increases the brake pressure to reduce the braking distance.
Steering Control
Vehicle Stability Control (VSC) helps you stay in command of your Rukus in cornering situations. The VSC system utilises electronic sensors to help control any potential understeer or oversteer situations. Understeer is when the vehicle loses front-wheel traction and wants to push forward nose first. Oversteer is when the rear wheels lose traction and the tail begins to slide.
6 Airbags
Unfortunately accidents do happen, so inside every Rukus there are six SRS airbags to help protect everyone. In the event of a frontal collision there's driver and front passenger airbags, there's also front seat side mounted airbags and full-length curtain shield airbags to help protect in side collisions.
Front and rear disc brakes
Front and rear disc brakes that are smooth and responsive help make Rukus a great drive around town. The front and rear rotors are both big for a small car and provide smooth braking and additional stopping power.
