8. Advanced safety systems to help
handle unexpected conditions
Hill-start assist control (HAC)
To help keep you from rolling back-
ward when starting on a steep hill,
HAC automatically holds the brake
pressure for two seconds after you
take your foot off the brake pedal.
Sorento features advanced safety systems that help give you peace
of mind every time you drive.†
Each system 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 the road ahead.
3 See Specifications page for endnote. †No system, no matter how advanced, can compensate for all driver errors, driving conditions,
accidents, and/or injury. Always drive responsibly. LIMITED SHOWN.
Brake assist system (BAS)
If BAS detects emergency braking, based
on how quickly you step on the brake
pedal, it instantly applies full braking
force, which helps shorten your overall
stopping distance.
Traction control system (TCS)
When TCS senses wheel spin during
acceleration, it uses a combination of
engine power and brake force to help
transfer power to the wheels that
have the most traction.
Electronic stability control (ESC)
ESC provides improved directional stability,
which helps you maintain better control in
difficult driving situations. During emergency
maneuvers, it can control the engine and
brakes to help keep your Sorento on course.
Electronic brake-force
distributioN (EBD)
To help maintain more consistent braking
as vehicle loads and weight distribution
change, EBD adjusts the front-to-rear
balance of brake pressure.

9. 16 See Specifications page for endnote. †No system, no matter how advanced, can compensate for all driver errors, driving conditions, accidents, and/or injury. Always drive responsibly. Inflated
airbags are shown for illustration only. LIMITED SHOWN.
FRONT ACTIVE HEADRESTS
In the event of certain rear collisions, the
active headrests move forward, helping to
reduce the likelihood of injury.
Advanced AIRBAGs
Dual front airbags, front-seat-mounted
side airbags and side curtain airbags for
both front and second-row seating posi-
tions are managed by an advanced sensor
system that can respond even in certain
rollover situations.
airbag & seat belt sensors16
An advanced sensor system manages
six airbags by monitoring the severity of
an impact, presence of passengers, and
seat belt use, and then controls airbag
inflation accordingly.
Rollover Sensor
If the airbag sensors detect an impending
rollover, this system can deploy the side
airbags, side curtain airbags and seat
belt pretensioners.
Front SEAT BELT PRETENsIONERS
Pretensioners tighten the front seat belts
in the event of certain collisions. This
helps to reduce the likelihood of injuries
in some situations.
SIDE-IMPACT DOOR BEAMS
All doors are reinforced with steel beams
to help absorb impact energy and deflect
side-impact force. The A and B pillars are
also reinforced to help strengthen the body
of the vehicle.
Front & Rear Crumple Zones
Front & rear crumple zones are specially
engineered to help absorb and dissipate
impact energy, helping to preserve the
structural integrity of the passenger
compartment in certain collisions.
Sorento is equipped with passive safety systems†
designed to help minimize injury when certain traffic
accidents are unavoidable. An advanced airbag system helps protect driver and passengers with dual
front, front-seat-mounted side and side curtain airbags for both front and second-row seating.16
