Safety
Sonata: where safety is primary
|
|
A stiff, strong body shell is at the core of Sonata's safety standards. It is also
equipped with the latest electronically controlled anti-lock braking system which
proves to be helpful in avoiding accidents. In the event of an accident, the multiple
air bags and other safety technologies ensure maximum safety of the occupants. The
all new Sonata also has an impact sensing auto door unlock system as one of its
safety features.

Security cell
|
|
Sonata's body structure is technically highly advanced. Completely computer designed
and engineered, the car makes use of different categories of steel that would crumple
at the front and rear in the event of an impact-in order to absorb the energy -
while protecting the occupants in the center section. Steel structures in the doors
act as additional side impact beams.

Dual front airbags, side and curtain airbags for enhanced safety
|
|
In the event of an accident, the multiple air bags and other safety technologies
ensure maximum safety of the occupants.

Back-up sensors
|
|
They are there, but you have to look more closely. The sensors that activate the
back-up warning alarm are now
body-coloured.

Power window cut off
|
|
Electric window lift power is cut off if sensors detect there is an obstacle in
the way - such as a child's fingers, for example.

|
Front Seatbelt Pretensioners
|
|
It pulls back occupants to prevent them from injuries due to sudden forward jerk,
& maintains their optimal distance to facilitate airbag deployment.
|
|
 |
|
 |
ABS (Antilock Braking System) with EBD
|
|
- ABS prevents wheel lock-up during braking, thus prevents skidding & ensuring
steering control
- EBD Distributes brake force efficiently between front & rear wheels
- Minimised stopping distance- safe braking
|
|
|
Load Limiter
|
|
It releases pressure of the tensed seat belts, thus minimising chances of secondary
injuries (due to seat belt tightening)
Allows occupants to have cushioning of inflated airbag

|
|
Electro Chromic Mirror(Anti dazzle mirror)
|
|
The interior mirror has an electro-chromic device that prevents the headlamps of
following vehicles from dazzling the driver.
