Chevrolet?s Flexible Venting Driver Air Bag

The Cruze was the first compact to earn a 5-stars crash test rating on the NHTSA. GM intends to keep it that way. The 2013 Chevrolet Cruze will be the first car or truck to arrive with a driver-side air bag that uses advanced venting technology to deploy more efficiently while providing equivalent crash protection to more expensive and complex air bag systems. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) recently tested the 2013 Cruze with the new air bag technology under its New Car Assessment Program. The Cruze just like its predecessors without the new technology received NHTSA?s maximum 5-Star Overall Vehicle Score.
