The 2011 Kia Sportage
Safety Features
ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL
ESC monitors your vehicle's response during emergency maneuvers...
...It then controls the engine and brakes to help keep your Sportage on course.
TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM
When TCS senses wheel spin during acceleration, it uses....
...engine power and brake force to transfer power to the wheels that have the most traction
BRAKE ASSIST SYSTEM
If BAS detects emergency braking, based on you quickly you step on...
...the brake pedal, it instantly applies full braking force, which helps shorten your overal stopping distance.
ELECTRONIC BRAKE-FORCE DISTRIBUTION
To help maintain more consistent braking as vehicle loads and...
...weight distribution change, EBD adjusts the front-to-rear balance of brake pressure.
HILL ASSIST CONTROL
To help keep you free from rolling backward when starting off on a steep...
...hill, HAC automatically holds the brake pressure for two seconds after you take your foot off the brake pedal.
DOWNHILL BRAKE CONTROL
When descending a steep slope, the DBC system automatically maintains...
...a steady 5 mph without the need for you to step on the accelerator or brake pedals.
AIRBAG AND SEAT BELT SENSORS
This advanced system monitors the severity of an impact, the presence...
...of a front passenger, and seat-belt use, and then controls airbag inflation accordingly.
ROLLOVER SENSOR
If the airbag sensors detect an impending rollover, the system can...
...deploy the side airbags, side curtain airbags, and seat-belt pretensioners.
FRONT ACTIVE HEADRESTS
In the event of certain rear collisions, the active headrests automatically...
...move up and forward, helping to reduce the likelihood of neck injury.
REINFORCED BODY
All doors are reinforced with steel beams to help absorb impact energy...
...and deflect side-impact force. Both the A and B pillars are also reinforced to help minimize impact damage.
FRONT SEAT BELT PRETENSIONERS
During certain collisions, pretensioners tighten seat-belt slack...
...They then let out the appropriate amount of additional belt to limit pressure on the body.
TIRE-PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM
This system includes air-pressure sensors located at each wheel...
...If a tire reaches a specified low air pressure, a warning light will alert you.
LATCH SYSTEM
The standardized LATCH system (Lower Anchors and Tethers for Children)...
...makes it easier to securely install a compatible child seat in any of the three rear seating positions.
Active Safety Systems.
The Sportage features advanced active safety features designed to help give you peace of mind every time you drive. Each one is engineered to help you maintain control, even in challenging road conditions and in some emergency situations. These safety systems are designed to function automatically, leaving you free to focus on safe driving.
Prepared for the Unexpected
Sportage's safety systems are designed to help minimize injury when a traffic accident is unavoidable. The front seats feature active headrests and seat-belt pretensioners with force limiters. Dual front airbags, front-seat-mounted side airbags and side curtain airbags for both front and rear seating positions are managed by an advanced sensor system that can even respond in certain rollover situations. Sportage wraps all of it - and you - in a protective, high-strength steel-reinforced body.
