CUTTING-EDGE SAFETY SYSTEMS
Every Isuzu D-MAX includes a network of safety features that operate automatically and independently, working tirelessly to protect you. Isuzu’s Intelligent Driver Assistance System◊ (IDAS) technology which encapsulates passive and active safety systems, is standard across every D-MAX model. Using state-of-the-art sensors and multiple cameras, the D-MAX constantly monitors your surrounding environment.
TESTED TO NEW 2022 ANCAP CRITERIA
A 5-star ANCAP rating is the pinnacle of safety a vehicle can achieve in Australia. With new and more rigorous testing introduced for 2022, it is now even harder for a vehicle to achieve a 5-star rating. The Isuzu D-MAX and MU-X achieved a 5-star rating against ANCAP’s brutal new testing criteria, making them not only some of Australia’s safest vehicles but Isuzu UTE one of Australia’s safest car brands.
ACTIVE SAFETY FEATURES
Autonomous Emergency Braking (AEB)
If your D-MAX detects a potential collision, emergency braking is applied automatically.
FORWARD COLLISION WARNING
An audible warning sounds and red warning lights flash on the dashboard when an obstacle is detected in your path.
Post-Collision Braking
In the event of an accident where the airbags are activated, Post-Collision Braking automatically uses the brakes to help bring the vehicle to a safe stop.
Turn Assist With AEB
If your D-MAX detects a potential collision during a turn, emergency braking is applied automatically.
Misacceleration Mitigation
In slow moving areas such as car parks, the stereo cameras determine whether the accelerator has been applied accidentally. Should a potential collision be detected, the accelerator is suppressed. (Automatic Transmission only).
Driver Attention Assist
Driver Attention Assist has been designed to identify signs of fatigue or inaccurate driving behaviour.
TRAILER SWAY CONTROL (TSC)
Will apply brakes to individual vehicle wheels to help bring the trailer safely back under control.
Rain Sensing Automatic Wipers
Standard across the range, the Automatic Rain Sensing Wipers automatically wipes the windshield when needed and varies the frequency of the wipe depending on the amount of rain detected.
AUTOMATIC HEADLIGHTS & HIGH BEAMS
Headlights automatically turn on when it is dark, such as at dusk or in underground car parks. During travel, the D-MAX dims the high beams automatically to avoid dazzling other drivers.
Bi-LED Headlights & DRLs
Automatic Bi-LEDs illuminate farther and wider, turning on independently when the D-MAX senses low-light conditions. They also feature LED Day Time Running Lights (DRLs) for extra visibility on the road during the day. (Standard on LS and X-TERRAIN models.)

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.
PARKING SAFETY FEATURES
Front & Rear Parking Sensor
Provides instantaneous feedback regarding nearby obstacles at low speed on X-TERRAIN (LS-M, LS-U & LS-U+ Ute models have rear park assist sensors only).
Reversing Camera
The D-MAX gives you eyes in the back of your head with a reversing camera. Perfect for tricky parking situations, hitching a trailer or reversing out of a driveway.
Rear Cross Traffic Alert
Rear Cross Traffic Alert (RCTA) monitors your surrounding area while reversing into traffic, providing visual and audible warnings should an object approach from the left or right. (RCTA will automatically disable when a towing device is connected to the vehicle via a genuine Tow Bar Wiring Harness).
TRAFFIC SAFETY FEATURES
Adaptive Cruise Control
When activated, the Adaptive Cruise Control automatically adjusts your speed based on the vehicles around you, including Stop & Go functionality. (Available on automatic transmission models only.)
Rear Cross Traffic Alert
Rear Cross Traffic Alert (RCTA) monitors your surrounding area while reversing into traffic, providing visual and audible warnings should an object approach from the left or right. (RCTA will automatically disable when a towing device is connected to the vehicle via a genuine Tow Bar Wiring Harness).
Blind Spot Monitor
Blind Spot Monitor (BSM) provides a visual warning in your side mirrors when an obstacle is approaching in your blind spot. (BSM will automatically disable when a towing device is connected to the vehicle via a genuine Tow Bar Wiring Harness).
Traffic Sign Recognition
The D-MAX recognises traffic signs, displaying information such as speed limits in the Multi-Information Display on the dash for easy reference.
Intelligent Speed Limiter
When active, the Intelligent Speed Limiter will prevent the vehicle from exceeding the signed speed limit.

PASSIVE SAFETY FEATURES
For ultimate protection, every D-MAX comes with eight airbags including a centre airbag to protect front seat occupants in side-on collisions.
All D-MAX Crew Cab models are fitted with four ISOFIX mounts to accommodate two ISOFIX compatible child seats.
The D-MAX’s superior ladder chassis is 20% stronger and wider than its predecessor thanks to larger chassis side rails and an added cross member.
Constructed from high-tensile steel, the cabin offers outstanding strength and rigidity, aided by anti-intrusion bars that provide increased protection in the event of side impact.
