SAFETY FEATURES Safety with a sixth sense When it pays to be tough Every day the road can present new challenges. The new Sorento is engineered to use its own reflexes to keep you safe and in control when tricky surfaces, inclines, twisting roads and unexpected moves by other drivers put you to the test. The new Kia Sorento has been thoroughly tested in countless crash simulations and collision tests to ensure occupant safety is placed above all else. A safety cage fortified with ultra-high-tension steel and a 6-airbag SRS system make a great team for your protection. VSM HAC Vehicle Stability Management (VSM) The system controls brake force, engine torque and steering torque to provide improved vehicle stability when simultaneously braking and cornering especially on wet, slippery and rough road surfaces. Hill Start Assist Control (HAC) HAC prevents the vehicle from rolling backwards when starting on a steep hill. Rack-type Motor-Driven Power Steering (R-MDPS) A firm, solid feel and unprecedented steering response are simultaneously achieved with R-MDPS. Rear sub-frame Even 2WD models now feature the sturdy rear subframe that AWD models are famous for, further improving driving stability. Upright rear shock absorber A more vertically oriented rear shock absorber system helps to smooth out the effect of uneven surfaces for greater comfort. 52.7% AHSS* used *Advanced High-Strength Steel (AHSS) The Sorento uses more than 52.7% advanced high-strength steel. This exceptional steel reinforces the front, rear and sides, as well as high-stress points throughout the car s body. Six airbags The Sorento offers front and side airbags for driver and front passenger, as well as two sidecurtain airbags to protect all occupants. Emergency Fastening Device (EFD) The 1 st row seat belts in the Sorento feature an emergency fastening device.
