TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM (TCS)
The Santa Fe's standard Traction
Control System (TCS) adjusts the throttle and applies the brakeks to prevent wheelspin, letting you drive with
even greater confidence on wet or slippery roads. Hyundai's Traction Control System (TCS) helps maintain traction
during acceleration. If a wheel begins to slip, the system reduces engine power and/or applies the brakes to that
wheel, that has greater traction.

ACTIVE FRONT HEAD RESTRAINTS
- Active front head restraints.
Active front head restraints move upward and forward in certain rear-end collisions, to help cushion the head and
reduce whiplash-type injuries.
- Extra protection against whiplash in rear-end collisions.

ANTI-LOCK BRAKING SYSTEM (ABS)
- The Santa Fe comes standard
with 4-wheel disc brakes. They feature 4-channel ABS, which helps the driver maintain steering control during heavy
braking. The Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS) helps prevent wheel lockup when braking, which helps the driver maintain
steering control.

SAFETY PRETENSIONERS
- Santa Fe's front automatic
seatbelt pretensioners tighten the driver's and front passenger's shoulder belts during a frontal impact crash.
This reduces the occupants' forward movement and helps position them for the optimal effectiveness of the airbags.
Front seatbelt pretensioners automatically "cinch up" to reduce slack and help to optimally position
the occupant in case of airbag deployment.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL
Electronic Stability Control
(ESC) is an active safety system that automatically applies the brakes to individual wheels and adjusts throttle
input as needed to help keep the vehicle on its intended path. Electronic Stability Control determines the vehicle's
intended path, using sophisticated electronic sensors. If the vehicle is out of the driver's control, it can selectively
brake individual wheels and/or reduce engine power to help return the vehicle to the intended path.
