SAFETY FEATURES
Rio offers numerous safety features for enhanced occupant protection...
- Dual front advanced air bags enhance collision protection for the driver and front passenger
- Front seat-mounted side air bags provide added protection for front occupants in side
collisions. Plus, they move with the seats to ensure optimal protection regardless of
seat position
- Full-length side-curtain air bags provide added head protection for BOTH front and rear
outboard occupants in the event of a side collision
- Energy-absorbing steering column helps reduce the chance of driver injury in certain
front end collisions
- Side-impact door beams provide additional occupant protection in the event of a side collision
- Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) alerts the driver to a low-pressure
condition in one or more tires
SEAT BELT DESIGN
Rio's seat belt design includes...
- Three-point seat belts in all 5 seating positions
- Front height-adjustable anchors assure a comfortable setting for any size occupant
REAR PASSENGER SAFETY
Kia Rio's commitment to occupant protection extends to rear seat passengers as
well as the front seat passengers with...
- 3-point safety belts help keep passengers safe
- Lower Anchors and Tethers for Children (LATCH) system helps simplify installation of
approved child seats
- Child safety locks ensure rear doors won't be accidentally opened
FOUR-WHEEL ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM (ABS)
Available ABS (on LX and SX models) provides enhanced steering control during
hard-braking maneuvers or when driving on slippery surfaces...
- A central ABS controller automatically pulses the brakes rapidly to help prevent wheel
lockup during hard braking
- By avoiding an uncontrolled skid, the driver is then better able to maintain control of the
vehicle to help steer clear of potential collisions
- The ABS option replaces the rear drum brakes with disc brakes to facilitate surer, more
confident stopping performance
We believe you shouldn't have to pay more for class-leading safety features. So we've given the Rio a wealth of advanced active and passive safety equipment to help protect you and your passengers.
