1. Tire Pressure Monitoring System

The tire pressure monitoring system is an essential safety feature you’ll find in all Kia Sorento models. This system monitors tire air pressure and alerts you if one or more tires need air. The system will display an alert on the dashboard, indicating that you need to have your tires serviced to ensure adequate air pressure and address any slow leaks. The system also helps prevent flats and blowouts and promotes driver safety on the road.

2. Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist

The forward collision-avoidance assist system warns drivers if it detects a possible collision by detecting vehicles, cyclists, and pedestrians surrounding the vehicle. This prevents accidents and improves safety for everyone on the road.

3. Standard Lane Departure Warning and Lane Keeping Assist

The lane departure warning system relies on a camera on the Sorento windshield that evaluates the road in front of you and provides warnings and alerts if you drift out of your lane, whether due to distractions or the need for more rest. The lane-keeping assist system will also help drivers stay in their lane by sending alerts if they are even just slightly drifting over the line.

4. Automated Emergency Braking With Pedestrian and Cyclist Detection

This safety system uses camera vision and vehicle sensors to help drivers avoid collisions with other vehicles, cyclists, and pedestrians by automatically activating the brakes if a collision is avoidable and the driver has yet to stop the vehicle. It primarily works by accessing a built-in driving assistance system to help promote safety on the road through automatic brake activation.

5. Adaptive Cruise Control System

The Kia adaptive cruise control system uses the most advanced vehicle technology, including radar and laser technology, to evaluate the distance between your vehicle and the one on the road in front of your Sorento. It can automatically adjust your vehicle’s cruise control based on traffic conditions without requiring you to take it out of cruise control to adjust your speed.

The Kia Sorento is an impressive SUV with power, capability, and the most advanced safety features that will protect you and your passengers on the road.
