SAFETY
The Expert is a van for today's business user, offering a comprehensive range of moden equipment designed to improve the safety of both driver and passengers.
Road holding
When a vehicle is a working tool, you need to rely on it in all situations. Thanks to the quality of its wheels and suspension, the Expert's stability is a benchmark. The Expert has long and dense wheel travel stops. Continuously adjusting their rigidity and load flexibility, these stops ensure stable vehicle handling and an excellent level of comfort even when driving with no load. The dampers have been designed to ensure excellent body stability and enviable suspension comfort.
Advanced Brakes
With two ventilated front discs and two rear discs, the Expert offers high performance braking under all road conditions. The anti-lock braking system (ABS) helps you to control the vehicle during emergency braking by preventing the wheels from locking. Electronic Brake Force Distribution (EBFD) controls braking wheel by wheel to maximise stopping performance, particularly when cornering. Emergency Brake Assist (EBA) helps reduce stopping distances to a minimum by amplifying the pressure applied to the brake pedal.
Airbags
The Expert is equipped with a driver's airbag, helping to protect in the event of a frontal collision. A passenger airbag is available as an option.
Theft protection
People who drive vans often keep valuable tools, equipment or goods in them. The Expert has been designed to offer peace of mind with high levels of vehicle protection and security. A three button remote control key allows you to lock or unlock the vehicle, or the load space only. Once the vehicle exceeds 10 km/h all the door locks are activated automatically. If you wish to leave the cab unlocked while the cargo area remains securely locked, you can do this by using the button located on the fascia panel. The status indicator on this button also tells you whether the load space is open or locked.
Safety cell
The Expert has been designed to protect driver and passengers in the event of a collision. The integrity of the passenger compartment is assured by impact absorbtion structures or crumple zones designed to absorb impact energy, whether the impact is from the front, rear or side. The passenger safety cell is safeguarded in the event of a rollover thanks to the vehicle's exceptional body strength.
ESP
Available as an option, Electronic Stability Program (ESP) anticipates potential under or over steer and helps you to maintain control of the van's steering. As part of the ESP option, traction control (ASR) prevents wheel slip in the event of loss of grip.
