The 2008 Kia Sedona
Safety Features

SEAT BELT DESIGN Sedona offers advanced front seat belt design featuring...
  • 3-point seat belts with height-adjustable anchors in front and 2nd row seats help provide a safe and comfortable setting for any size passenger
  • Seat belt pretensioners tighten extra slack to reduce forward motion in certain frontal collisions
  • Seat belt force limiters release the seat belt webbing in a controlled manner if the collision is severe to help minimize the chance of injury
SAFETY PERFORMANCE The 2008 Sedona pushes the safety envelope with six standard air bags as well as several other safety-enhancing features...
  • Dual front advanced air bags help protect the driver and front passenger in the event of certain front-end collisions
  • Front seat-mounted side air bags provide added protection to front seat passengers in the event of a side-impact collision
  • Full-length side-curtain air bags protect passengers in all 3 rows for exceptional safety in a side-impact or rollover collision
  • Side-impact door beams in all four doors help reduce intrusion into the vehicle in a side impact collision, providing enhanced protection to passengers
  • Energy-absorbing steering column helps reduce the chance of driver injury in certain front end collisions
  • Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) constantly monitors tire pressure and alerts the driver to a low-pressure condition in one or more tires
  • Backup warning system alerts driver of objects or persons in the vehicle's rearward path (Available with LWB EX Luxury Package)
  • Power sliding door lockout disallows opening past three-quarters while windows are open to prevent injury
ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC) Sedona offers the confidence and safety of ESC standard on all models...
  • Using a series of sensors, ESC can detect if the vehicle is about to lose control and will adjust throttle and/or apply select brakes to bring the vehicle back on its intended path
  • This system is so rapid and precise that it is virtually undetectable to the driver
  • ESC works by coordinating the efforts of several individual systems...
    • Traction control minimizes wheel-spin by applying select brakes or reducing torque to the slipping wheel
    • Brake assist supplements the driver's brake input to maintain full brake pressure throughout the event - providing greater braking performance than what the driver could achieve alone
    • ABS with Electronic Brake Force Distribution divides power between the brakes to help ensure smooth, straight line stopping
BRAKES Sedona is equipped with an advanced braking system to ensure maximum stopping efficiency...
  • Sedona's standard 4-wheel disc brakes provide effective stopping power
  • Standard 4-channel, 4-sensor Anti-lock Brake System (ABS) provides added steering control during hard-braking maneuvers or when braking on wet or slippery surfaces...
    • A central ABS controller automatically pulses brake pressure during heavy braking conditions, preventing lock-up and loss of steering
    • The driver is able to better maintain control and help steer clear of potential harm
