1. Autonomous Emergency Braking (AEB) is<br />
amongst the brand new safety features<br />
available on the <strong>All</strong>‐<strong>New</strong> <strong>Sportage</strong>. Many<br />
accidents are caused by late braking and/or<br />
braking with insufficient force. AEB systems<br />
improve safety in two ways - firstly, they<br />
help to avoid accidents by identifying critical<br />
situations early and warning the driver and<br />
secondly they reduce the severity of crashes<br />
which cannot be avoided by lowering the speed<br />
of collision and, in some cases, by preparing the<br />
vehicle and restraint systems for impact.<br />
2. Blind Spot Detection (BSD) alerts the driver if<br />
a vehicle is in their blind spot when changing<br />
lanes. Radar sensors in the rear bumper<br />
monitor the areas behind the <strong>Sportage</strong> which<br />
are difficult to see. A warning symbol in the<br />
rear mirror then appears. If this warning<br />
is ignored and the driver changes lanes,<br />
the symbol starts to flash and a warning<br />
sound emitted.<br />
3. Rear Cross Traffic Alert (RCTA) makes<br />
reversing out of parking spaces perfectly safe<br />
by warning you of traffic crossing behind you.<br />
4. Lane Keep Assist System (LKAS) is designed<br />
to alert the driver that the vehicle is about<br />
to deviate from a traffic lane. The system<br />
helps the car stay on course within the centre<br />
of the lane by continuously applying a small<br />
amount of counter-steering force.<br />
