Don’t be fooled by its size. The Accent is the subcompact that provides full-size safety, standard. Its standard active safety systems react instantly and predictably to help you avoid an accident.
Here’s one set of features we hope you’ll never see: the airbags.
But it is comforting to know they’re there. All six of them. The Accent is equipped with front, front side-impact and side-curtain airbags to help protect you if the unavoidable occurs.
The comprehensive Vehicle Stability Management system on the Accent links and optimizes the function of active safety features, incorporating Motor-Driven Power Steering, Electronic Stability Control, Traction Control System, and Anti-lock Braking System in potential collision situations.
When ESC senses a skid is imminent, it responds immediately, applying the appropriate amount of braking to individual wheels and adjusting throttle input. This helps keep you on your intended path.
Designed to prevent loss of traction, TCS detects wheel slip and applies the brakes as needed, then transfers power to the wheels that are stable.
ABS is a big deal in the city and on the highway. This system helps prevent the possibility of wheel lockup under hard braking to help you retain steering control as you come to a stop.
You can control your ride with confidence. EBD can help.
This dynamic system balances braking forces at each wheel to help you maintain confident control during sudden braking.
When there’s a sudden sea of red tail lights ahead of you, Brake Assist can help. It senses emergency braking, and if you’re not braking hard enough, will apply maximum force to help you avoid a collision.
The driver and front passenger seatbelts are equipped with pretensioners that automatically tighten the belts in the event of a collision, and hold you in the proper position in case the front airbags deploy.
Active front head restraints actually move up and forward in the event of a rear-end collision, helping reduce whiplash-style injuries to you and your front passenger.
