Brake Assist System (BAS) shown
The Brake Assist System (BAS) adds an additional level of enhanced safety by detecting emergency braking situations and applying additional braking force. BAS instantly assesses a number of variables including brake pedal pressure and speed the brake pedal was depressed and responds with full braking force if necessary.

4-Wheel Anti-Lock Brakes (ABS)
Four-wheel disc brakes with the Antilock Brake System (ABS) offer peace of mind and a level of enhanced safety by providing optimal braking while minimizing skidding under hard braking conditions. The foundation of your Kia's active safety system, the Antilock Braking System (ABS) uses electronic sensors at each wheel hub to detect when wheels begin skid. If skidding under braking is detected, ABS modulates brake force to reduce skidding which in turn allows for reduced braking distances in addition to helping you maintain control of your vehicle.

Front & Rear Crumple Zones
The front and rear crumple zones are specially designed to absorb and dissipate impact energy helping to preserve the passenger compartment.
Tire-Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)
Tire-Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) offers the convenience and an added measure of preventative safety by constantly monitoring tire inflation pressures in all four tires. A warning light appears in the instrument cluster should any tire pressures drop below a specified range.
Even with TPMS, always check your tire pressure on a regular basis w/a digital tire gauge. Image shown for reference only.
Electronic Stability Control (ESC)
Electronic Stability Control (ESC) offers an enhanced level of vehicle control and peace of mind by offering improved directional stability helping you maintain the vehicle's intended direction of travel. ESC monitors and assists in the control of key vehicle functions by braking individual wheels and reducing engine power accordingly.
Some features are available only as optional equipment. Image shown for reference only.
Electronic Brake-Force Distribution (EBD)
The Electronic Brake-Force Distribution (EBD) system offers a measure of enhanced safety by electronically distributing appropriate amounts of braking pressure to each wheel through a network of sensors. The result is more controlled and precise handling while applying the brakes.

Side-Impact Door Beams
Your Kia offers an added measure of security with reinforced steel beams in every door. Specifically, these steel beams are designed to absorb impact energy and deflect side-impact force. Additionally, both A and B pillars are reinforced to help minimize impact forces.

Safety
When used with properly fitted seatbelts, this advanced system detects the presence of a front seat passenger, monitors the severity of an impact and controls airbag inflation accordingly to help reduce injuries in certain collisions.
For maximum protection, always wear your seat belt. Image shown for reference only.
