The technically most important elements for active safety of the Yeti include bi-xenon headlights with rotary modules, which can better illuminate a bend and thereby reveal any dangers. The front fog lights with the Corner function are another important element and are located together with lights for day lighting in separate circular lights.

The following electronic stability systems can help you prevent a collision: ESP, EDS, AFM, HBA DSR, ABS, MSR, EBV, ESBS and ASR. The risk of a rear impact in a traffic jam on the motorway is reduced by the automatic flashing  function of brake lights during heavy braking, warning lights come on by themselves after the car stops.

If you can no longer prevent an accident, passive security becomes important. The extraordinarily solid design of the SUV body and the robust doorsills and columns, special mounting for the engine and pedals and up to nine airbags, including a knee airbag for the driver and rear side airbags, will reliably protect the space for the driver and passengers.

When the airbags are activated, the fuel pump also switches off, as do the fuel supply and certain electrical circuits, which helps prevent fire. The central locking is opened, the internal lighting comes on and other road users have their attention drawn to the danger by warning lights.
