Safety & Security

The H2 is designed to take you places that just wouldn't be safe for ordinary vehicles, so naturally special consideration was given to safety.
 

Active Safety

The H2 comes standard with front airbags, child seat top-tether anchors for additional safety for younger passengers, lap and B-pillar mounted shoulder belts, adjustable headrests on all seats and assist handles throughout the vehicle.
 

Passive Safety

Steering wheel controls for radio enable you to manipulate radio controls with your hands on the wheel and your eyes on the road.

Front, rear, and side window defoggers keep all windows clear of moisture to optimize visibility at all times.

A light sensitive inside rearview mirror with compass and outside temperature display automatically dims to the proper level to minimize glare from lights behind the driver after dark.

Large, power-tilt, light sensitive outside rearview mirrors have a "curb" feature which tilts them down, while in reverse, to show you the curb when parking. This power-adjustable feature can also help you coming off a rock or step during off-road operations. They are also heated to keep ice or snow from restricting visibility and they have a power fold mechanism to protect them when going through tight spots.

The H2 also has rear door child lockout protection.
 

Security

A big tough truck ought to be able to defend itself don't you think? So did we. That's why the H2 comes standard with several security measures it uses for self-defense.

Among them is a PASSLock® anti-theft vehicle security system, which allows the vehicle to be started only with the proper key.

It also has a content alarm anti-theft system, which sounds the horn and flashes the lights if the vehicle is tampered with or jostled too much.

The H2 also has a battery rundown protection system, which shuts down any interior lighting systems that have been left on too long while the engine's not running, so you never come back to a dead engine.

Another interesting security feature is the THEFTLOCK® for the RDS radio. Basically the radio knows a portion of your H2's Vehicle Identification Number. If the radio is stolen, or moved to a different vehicle, it will not operate and "LOCKED" will be displayed.

Homelink®*, standard in the H2, allows drivers to program up to three different signals for remote control item, such as the garage door opener, house lights and an electric gate. And to show that it is doing it's best to protect you too; the H2 also comes standard with remote keyless entry. In uncertain situations this feature allows you to remotely honk the horn as an attention-getter.

*Operation of some HomeLink features may require the purchase of a separate receiver from HomeLink.
 

Lighting

Visually distinctive lighting is a functional design element that, when done right, complements the entire vehicle. So the H2 boasts seven-inch halogen headlamps as part of its lighting system. There are additional roof marker and clearance lights. There are three marker and two side clearance lamps on both the front and rear of the roof, along with the rear Center High Mounted Stop Lamp (CHMSL). Flush, vertically stacked tail lamps also clearly signal H2's heritage.
