Safety features that come standard on all models include anti-lock brakes, electronic brake-force distribution; curtain air bags, electronic stability control, seat-mounted side-impact airbags, and active head restraints for front seats. The curtain airbags cover all the side windows in a side-impact crash to offer head protection and to keep heads and arms inside the vehicle in a rollover. Air curtains are not, however, designed to be a substitute for wearing seat belts, so be sure to wear your seat belts.

The active head restraints are designed to reduce neck injuries by moving forward to cushion the head in a rear-end crash. In crash tests conducted by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, which represents the insurance industry, the Entourage moved ahead of all the other minivans by getting a good" rating in the rear-impact crash test. The Honda Odyssey got a "marginal" rating for rear impact while the Toyota Sienna and Nissan Quest got "poor" ratings. All four got "good" ratings in frontal and side-impact protection. The institute uses a rating system of good, acceptable, marginal and poor."
