The 2009 Kia Sorento
Safety Features
ADDITIONAL SATANDARD SAFETY FEATURES
- Front active headrests automatically move the headrests forward in rear-impact collisions to minimize the chance of neck injuries...
- Tire-Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) alerts the driver to a low-pressure condition in one or more tires for better performance and handling and improved gas mileage
- Front and rear side-impact door beams increase structural rigidity for enhanced protection during certain side collisions
- Front seat-belt pretensioners automatically cinch the belts tight in severe collisions, then force limiters release belt tension milliseconds after air bag deployment to reduce the force applied to the occupant
HIGHEST POSSIBLE RATING IN FRONT AND REAR IMPACT TESTS
- Awarded by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS)...
- "Good" rating for front-and rear-impact crash testing is highest possible rating in IIHS crash testing
5-STAR CRASH SAFETY RATING IN ALL FOUR CATEGORIES
- Awarded by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA)...
- Highest possible rating in the NHTSA New Car Assessment Program (NCAP)
- 5-stars in all seating positions for both frontal and side crash tests
- Model tested with standard side-impact air bags (SABs)
FIVE STANDARD AIR BAGS
- Dual front advanced air bags utilize sensors to adjust deployment force based on the severity of an impact, and helps protect occupants during certain frontal collisions by minimizing the likelihood of air bag-related injuries...
- Full-length side curtain air bags provide supplemental head and upper body protection by deploying in certain side collisions
- Driver knee air bag supplements driver protection and comes standard on all Sorento models
STANDARD ACTIVE SAFETY SYSTEMS
- Electronic Stablility Control (ESC) helps detect if the vehicle is straying from the drivers intended path, and can correct the situation by adjusting engine power and applying select brakes to help the driver bring the vehicle back in line...
- Traction Control System (TCS) senses wheel spin during acceleration and counteracts it by reducing engine power and/or applying brake force to the slipping wheel and then transferring power to the wheel(s) with traction for increased control and enhanced responsiveness
Receiving top honors from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), the new Kia Sorento is safer than ever. The Sorento is also one of the only mid-size SUV's in its class to receive the Insurance Institute for
Highway Safety (IIHS) highest possible rating of "Good" in rear-impact crash testing.
