VehIcLe StABILIty MANAGeMeNt
Vehicle Stability Management (VSM)
monitors Rondo’s response to your
throttle, brake and steering inputs in
tight corners and evasive-manoeuvre
situations. If your input and the vehicle’s
response are out of sync, VSM briefly
takes over to restore stability through
precise brake, electric steering and
engine control interventions.
BrAKe ASSISt
When the Brake Assist
System (BAS) detects an
emergency braking situation
it instantly applies full braking
force, faster than you might
be applying it, to help shorten
overall stopping distance.
trActION cONtrOL
Rondo’s standard Traction
Control System (TCS) senses
wheel spin during acceleration
and uses engine-torque
reduction and pulsed braking to
slow the spinning wheel(s) and
transfer torque to the wheels
that have the most traction.
eLectrONIc BrAKeFOrce
DIStrIBUtION
Electronic brakeforce
distribution (EBD) adjusts
front-to-rear brake pressure
to compensate for varying
passenger/cargo loads
and deliver more confident
braking performance.
hILL ASSISt cONtrOL
To help keep you from rolling
backward when starting off on a
steep hill, Hill Assist Control (HAC)
automatically maintains braking
pressure for up to two seconds
after you take your foot off the
brake pedal – enough time for
engine power to move you forward.
eNhANceD cOLLISION SAFety
Rondo’s platform provides
strength and protection to help
maintain the integrity of the
passenger compartment in
frontal, side and rear impacts.
LAtch SySteM
Rondo comes equipped with
an industry-standard LATCH
(Lower Anchors and Tethers
for CHildren) safety system
that makes it easier to
securely install a compatible
child safety seat in any of the
second-row seating positions.

Located in the
tailgate of all EX models, this gives you
a view of objects and obstacles behind
you when you’re backing up. Images are
displayed on the LCD screen of the UVO
system or multimedia interface, depending
on how your vehicle is equipped.
Safety that protects
and performs.
Safety is not just one feature. It’s layer upon layer
of systems that work together, automatically alerting
you or intervening when danger is present; activating
when you need help to avoid a collision; and protecting
you and your passengers if and when a collision occurs.
On the 2015 Rondo, safety and peace of mind
go hand-in-hand.

Bumper situated rear parking sensors are
standard on Rondo EX and available on LX models. They trigger
a warning tone in the cabin that increases in intensity as your
vehicle gets closer to an object. Additional front parking sensors
are included on EX Luxury models.
SIX StANDArD AIrBAGS
Rondo protects you and your
family with advanced dual front,
side impact and curtain airbags
with finely tuned sensors for the
best possible performance. In
combination, they help protect
against head and chest injuries in
moderate to severe impacts.
