Externally , you ’ ve got rear parking sensors , LED headlights and fog lights , 18in alloy wheels , and one optional feature that I quite liked is the electric roller tonneau cover for the tub . Press a button on the supplied fob and the cover will open or close as required .
A feature that should be of interest to vanners : the vehicle gets a 120A alternator to deliver ample power for appliances , such as a portable fridge .
IDAS SAFETY SYSTEM
IDAS collectively describes a range of sophisticated safety features offered by this vehicle . Lane Keep Assist , Lane Departure Prevention and AEB with Turn Assist are its key features , but it also provides Traffic Sign Recognition and a Rear Cross Traffic Alert , among others features .
I can ’ t fairly criticise this system . It did everything it is intended to do . I particularly noticed that the Traffic Sign Recognition feature worked well , except in areas of poor sign placement . Put it this way : if the traffic / speed sign has been positioned properly , the system will recognise it . There were some occasions , especially in areas of road works , when it didn ’ t recognise the signs , but I put that down to poor placement of the temporary signs .
The biggest thing to get used to is the way the vehicle will automatically position itself back towards the centre of the lane should you veer a little too close to the centre line – you can even feel the wheel ‘ tug ’ to the left . It ’ s a little unnerving but you quickly get used to it – and might one day be thankful for it .
