Advanced Safety Means Strength and Intelligence

Soul's safety systems are engineered to help you maintain control in various road conditions and emergency situations. These systems function automatically to allow you to focus on safe driving.

Vehicle Stability Management (VSM)

VSM controls brake force, engine torque, and steering torque for improved stability during cornering or on slippery surfaces.

Brake Assist (BAS)

When an emergency braking situation is detected, BAS instantly applies full braking force to help shorten stopping distance.

Electronic Brakeforce Distribution (EBD)

EBD adjusts front-to-rear brake pressure to compensate for varying loads, ensuring confident braking performance.

Electronic Stability Control (ESC)

ESC monitors vehicle response to inputs and intervenes with precise brake and engine control to restore stability if needed.

Airbag & Seat Belt Sensors

An advanced sensor system manages six airbags, monitoring impact severity, passenger presence, and seat belt use to control airbag inflation.

Hill-Start Assist Control (HAC)

HAC prevents backward rolling on steep hills by maintaining braking pressure for up to two seconds after the brake pedal is released.

Rearview Camera

The available rearview camera, located in the tailgate, provides a view of obstacles behind the vehicle when backing up.

LATCH System

The LATCH system makes it easier to securely install compatible child safety seats in any of the three second-row seating positions.
