DRIVING SECURITY STARTS WITH THE WAY
AN AUTomoBILE ACCELERATES, STEERS AND SToPS.
If you haven’t taken a test drive in the new Sonata, here’s what to think about when you do. After you’ve settled into the driver’s seat and fastened your
seatbelt, try to focus on the way Sonata feels when you launch from a standstill. Does it pull away without losing its grip? That’s Sonata’s standard Traction
Control at work. Steer into a curve. Does it feel like it’s on rails? That’s the standard Electronic Stability Control doing its job. Now hit the brakes. Standard
ABS and Brake Assist help Sonata come to a swift, sure stop. It’s all part of how Hyundai engineers driving confidence.

Each of Sonata’s wheels is equipped with an air
pressure sensor located at the valve stem. When
the pressure of any tire falls below its optimal
level, a warning light on the instrument

from driving on underinflated tires.

ANTI-LoCk BRAkING SYSTEm
BRAkE ASSIST
Sonata’s Anti-lock Braking (ABS) helps preserve
steering control in emergency braking situations.
The ABS will rapidly pulse the brakes of the
wheel (or wheels) that begin to lock up. This
helps the driver to maintain steering control
while braking.
Statistics show that drivers frequently don’t brake
hard enough in emergency situations. Brake Assist
senses a panic stop and immediately applies the
maximum braking pressure to help you stop
faster. Because sometimes a few extra feet can
make all the difference.

TRACTIoN CoNTRoL SYSTEm
Sonata was the first midsize car under $20,000
to standardize Electronic Stability Control back
in 2005. Today, it continues setting a new
standard. Onboard is an active safety system that
automatically applies the brakes to individual
wheels and adjusts throttle input as needed to
For greater control when accelerating or driving
in the wet, the Traction Control System that’s
standard on Sonata automatically reduces engine
power and/or applies braking when slippage is
detected, effectively rerouting power where the
grip is greatest.
