Picanto Brochure

Uncompromised safetycredentials.At the crash test laboratories of Kia Motors' Namyang Research andDevelopment Centre, we undertake rigorous testing for a wide rangeof motor accident scenarios. From the early phase of development,we create computer simulations to predict a vehicle's safety and upto 100 crash tests of the actual vehicle are performed prior to launch.Your safety is our top priority. The new Picanto range has been noexception to this robust testing process.Six airbagsFront airbags for the driver and frontpassenger, two airbags at the sides and twocurtain airbags run the length of the cabin.1 2 3Electronic Stability Control (ESC)ESC reduces skidding to help maintain controlin the event you need to brake or swervesuddenly.1. Hill-start Assist Control (HAC) - by maintaining brakeforce until you accelerate, HAC preventsthe vehicle from rolling backwards when starting on a steep incline. 2. Brake Assist System(BAS) - reduces the stopping distance during sudden braking situations by applying maximumbrake force when needed. 3. Emergency Stop Signalling (ESS) - detects emergency brakeapplication and immediately activates the brake lights, flashing them to warn other drivers.without ESCwith ESCVehicle Stability Management (VSM)Working in conjunction with the Motor DrivenPower Steering, VSM helps ensure that thePicanto remains stable when simultaneouslybraking and cornering.20
