For added convenience during parking maneuvers, the Rear parking sensors and Rear View Camera provide a clear picture of your surroundings.

The structural safety of the Maverick is reinforced by a 7 airbag system, including a Driver side knee airbag and the Safety Canopy System curtain first and second-row overhead airbags. Technical systems like Post-Collision Braking, Brake Assist, and Hill Hold Control work behind the scenes to maintain stability and control.
