Capitol Hyundai Montgomery

Hyundai has always been committed to safety. Equus steps up this tradition with nine airbags, reinforced unibody construction, and an entire Vehicle Stability Management System tasked with making sure all active and passive safety features work optimally.
	Unibody Frame An ultra-high-strength steel unibody with energy-dispersing crumple zones forms the core of the Equus passive safety system. The reinforced steel frame enhances safety and handling by creating a more rigid and lightweight body structure. Crash-durable adhesives in critical areas increase dynamic torsional rigidity, enabling better ride, handling and increased safety.

9 Airbags

The more airbags, the safer the occupants. Equus has more standard airbags than the Lexus LS 460 or the BMW 750i. Two advanced dual front airbags; a driver?s knee airbag; four front and rear seat-mounted side-impact airbags; and two roof-mounted side-curtain airbags for front and rear seat passengers. Nine total. Nine ways to improve safety.

Vehicle Stability Management System VSM optimizes the function of all active and passive safety features. VSM incorporates ESC, TCS, ABS, EBD, Brake Assist and a Lane Departure Warning System. The comprehensive Vehicle Stability Management system links and prepares all safety systems in potential collision situations. This fully integrated system also incorporates the electronic parking brake, Smart Cruise Control, seatbelt tensioning system, instrument panel warning lights, and alerts for the Lane Departure Warning System.	Traction Control System By reducing wheelspin in various adverse traction conditions, including inclement weather, Traction Control gives more stable and predictable acceleration characteristics for a more confident, controlled driving experience.
Smart Cruise Control (SCC) SCC detects vehicles within a driver-specified distance, and automatically maintains a consistent following distance. Operating like your normal cruise control when no other vehicles are near, radar judges the distance and speed of vehicles in front of you, and accelerates or brakes to help maintain a driver-selectable distance.	Anti-lock Braking System Emergency braking can cause a vehicle?s wheels to lock up and skid, resulting in a loss of steering control exactly when you need it most. ABS helps prevent the possibility of wheel lockup under braking, and rapidly pulses the brakes to help you retain steering control as you come to a stop.
Electronic Stability Control In 2012 the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) will require all vehicles to be equipped with ESC, a feature that Equus and all Hyundai models have today. NHTSA studies show passenger cars equipped with ESC experience 35% fewer single-vehicle crashes, and 30% fewer single-vehicle fatalities. ESC sensors measure the difference between a driver?s intended path?when a turn is less or more than intended?and applies appropriate braking force to individual wheels to help regain control. ESC also includes Traction Control System (TCS), which reduces wheelspin when accelerating.	Electronic Brake-force Distribution EBD balances braking forces at each wheel when the car is dynamically loaded. This helps the driver maintain confident control in difficult braking situations.
Brake Assist In emergency braking situations, many drivers may not apply sufficient braking force to achieve the shortest possible stopping distance. Brake Assist helps detect emergency braking and ensures the maximum braking force is immediately applied to minimize stopping distances.	Lane Departure Warning System (LDWS) The available Lane Departure Warning System (LDWS) alerts drivers of unintended lane changes. Audible, visual and haptic warnings are triggered to restore the driver's attention in cases where the car drifts or changes lanes without using a turn signal.
