Safety is not a new concern at Holden. Since commencing Australia's first vehicle crash testing program over 30 years ago, Holden has established a reputation for innovation and leadership in automotive safety technology.

Through the company's field accident research program in conjunction with the Monash University Accident Research Centre, Holden has specialist knowledge of the real-world accident risks and conditions associated with the unique Australian driving environment.

The major design objective of helping to provide drivers and occupants of all sizes and ages with driving safety and occupant protection from injury in a broad range of crash situations applies to the development of Holden vehicles.

Each Holden vehicle has a range of safety features and it is important to understand how these features assist in crash avoidance and occupant protection. The Holden Safety Demonstration explains in simple terms how safety technologies in Holden vehicles, such as anti-lock braking system (ABS), traction control and airbags, work to assist and protect vehicle occupants.
