| Safety features | ACTIVE SAFETY VEHICLE STABILITY MANAGEMENT (VSM) For additional steering-direction-control capability, the VSM system is designed to intervene in appropriate situations to help the driver regain control of the vehicle. ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC) ESC provides improved directional stability to help maintain better control in difficult driving situations. During emergency maneuvers, it works to control the engine and brakes to help keep your Optima on course. TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM (TCS) When TCS senses wheelspin during vehicle acceleration, it uses a combination of both engine power and brake force to help transfer power to the wheel that has more traction. ELECTRONIC BRAKE-FORCE DISTRIBUTION (EBD) To help maintain more consistent braking as vehicle loads and weight distribution change, the EBD system automatically adjusts the front-to-rear balance of brake pressure. BRAKE ASSIST SYSTEM (BAS) If BAS detects emergency braking, based on how quickly you step on the brake pedal, it applies full braking force, which can help shorten your overall stopping distance. HILL-START ASSIST CONTROL (HAC) When starting off on a steep hill, HAC automatically holds the brake pressure for two seconds after you take your foot off the brake pedal. ANTI-LOCK BRAKING SYSTEM (ABS) ABS is the foundation of an active safety system and can help contribute to driver confidence. The system can help provide greater vehicle control when stopping in difficult conditions like wet or slippery roads. PASSIVE SAFETY ADVANCED AIRBAG SYSTEM An advanced airbag system helps protect driver and passengers with dual front, front seat-mounted side, and full-length side curtain airbags and is complemented by a driver’s knee airbag. AIRBAG & SEAT-BELT SENSORS This advanced system monitors the severity of certain impacts, the presence of a front passenger and seat-belt use, and then controls airbag inflation accordingly. FRONT SEAT-BELT PRETENSIONERS Pretensioners are designed to tighten the front seat belts in the event of certain collisions. This can help to reduce the likelihood of injuries. HEIGHT-ADJUSTABLE SEAT-BELT ANCHORS The front height-adjustable seat-belt anchors allow the driver’s and frontpassenger’s seat belts to be raised and lowered for a proper fit, helping ensure effective operation. FRONT & REAR 3-POINT SEAT BELTS Three-point seat belts are standard for all seating positions, so that each person is protected with an over-the-lap and shoulder seat belt. FRONT & REAR CRUMPLE ZONES Both front and rear crumple zones are engineered to help absorb and dissipate impact energy, helping to preserve the basic structural integrity of the passenger compartment in certain collisions. SIDE-IMPACT DOOR BEAMS All doors are reinforced with steel beams to help absorb impact energy and deflect side-impact force. The body’s support pillars are reinforced to help strengthen the body of the vehicle. REAR CHILD-SAFETY DOOR LOCKS Rear child-safety door locks help prevent the doors from being opened accidentally, which is important when small children are passengers. With the doors in the locked position, they can only be opened from the outside. LATCH SYSTEM Optima features the easy-to-use Lower Anchors and Tethers for Children (LATCH) system. It is engineered to let you securely install a compatible child seat at either end of the rear seat | |||||||
