ANCAP 5-STAR SAFETY RATING
A 5-star ANCAP rating is the pinnacle of safety a vehicle can achieve in Australia. The Isuzu D-MAX achieved a 5-star rating against ANCAP’s stringent 2022 testing criteria, making it one of the safest vehicles on Australian roads.
ACTIVE SAFETY FEATURES
Every D-MAX is packed with built-in active safety features to keep you out of trouble at a moment’s notice.
Forward Collision Warning (FCW) and Autonomous Emergency Braking (AEB)
An audible warning sounds and red warning lights flash on the dashboard when an obstacle is detected in your path. If your D-MAX detects a potential collision is imminent, emergency braking is applied automatically.

TRAILER SWAY CONTROL (TSC)
Will apply brakes to individual vehicle wheels to help bring the trailer safely back under control.
LANE DRIVING FEATURES
Lane Departure Prevention
Lane Departure Prevention is activated if the vehicle is about to depart from the driver’s lane. The system assists by steering the vehicle in the correct direction to help prevent lane departure. This feature can also be disabled via the Lane Support System (LSS) Switch.
Lane Departure Warning
Lane Departure Warning alerts the driver when the vehicle starts to drift out of the current lane. This feature can also be disabled via the Lane Support System (LSS) Switch.
Emergency Lane Keeping
Unique to the D-MAX in the 1 tonne ute market, if there is danger of collision with vehicles approaching from behind in an adjacent lane, the vehicle will help avoid the collision by preventing lane departure. This feature can also be disabled via the Lane Support System (LSS) Switch.
Lane Keep Assist
The Lane Keep Assist (LKA) system is designed to detect road lane markings and assist steering operation by keeping your vehicle in its lane while Adaptive Cruise Control is engaged. (Available on automatic transmission models only.) This feature can also be disabled via the Lane Support System (LSS) Switch.
Lane Support System (LSS) Switch
The Lane Support System (LSS) Switch, located on the steering wheel allows the driver to toggle the LSS on-or-off by pressing and holding the Switch for two seconds. The LSS includes Lane Departure Warning (LDW), Lane Departure Prevention (LDP), Emergency Lane Keeping (ELK) and Lane Keep Assist (LKA) on automatic models. Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) will still function regardless if the LKA is disabled via the Switch.
