The 2009 Kia Sportage
Safety Features
SIX STANDARD AIR BAGS
- Dual front advanced air bags utilize sensors to adjust deployment force based on the severity of an impact and help protect occupants during certain frontal collisions by minimizing the likelihood of air bag-related injuries
- Front seat-mounted side air bags provide additional chest protection during certain side impacts
- Full-length side curtain air bags provide supplemental head and upper body protection by deploying in certain side collisions
SUPERIOR STOPPING POWER
- 4-wheel disk brakes resist brake fade to deliver amazing stopping power
- 4-wheel Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS) modulates brake pressure to help prevent wheel lock-up during hard braking situations, helping the driver to better control the vehicle and steer clear of potential collisions
- Electronic Brake-Force Distribution (EBD) allows variable brake pressure between front and rear brakes based on vehicle loading or aggressive cornering for improved stability
5-STAR CRASH SAFETY RATING IN ALL FOUR CATEGORIES
- Awarded by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA)
- Highest possible rating in the NHTSA's New Car Assessment Program (NCAP)
- 5-stars for driver-side front, passenger-side front, front-seat side and rear-seat side-impact tests
- Model tested with standard side-impact air bags (SABs)
STANDARD ACTIVE SAFETY FEATURES
- Electronic Stability Control (ESC) can detect if the vehicle is straying from the driver's 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) can sense wheel spin during acceleration and counteract 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
ADDITIONAL STANDARD SAFETY FEATURES
- Front active headrests automatically move the headrests forward in rear-impact collissisions to minimise the chances 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 crumple zones are designed to absorb impact energy before it reaches the cabin
- Front and side-impact door beams increase the 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
Safety first. Safety always.
The Sportage boasts advanced safety engineering including six airbags with full-length side curtains, anti-lock brakes and Electronic Stability Control. In addition, it has earned a 5-star crash safety rating in all four categories from the U.S. government, which helps ensure your peace of mind.
