Safety[]

Hyundai i10 comes with the advanced safety features that include : Dual Front SRS Airbag (Driver and Passenger Airbags provide cushioning in case of a collision). ABS (Anti Lock Brake System) that prevents wheel lockup during panic braking on slippery surface. The instrument cluster houses many warning lamps like seat belt warning, door and tailgate ajar warning and Airbag warning to help the driver to be informed at all times, thereby safety for all passengers. The multi reflector clear glasses fog lamp ensures maximum visibility for the driver in adverse weather conditions while adding to the sporty image of the car. Seatbelts lock in emergency situations such as rapid acceleration or deceleration. Also the sensor triggered pretensioners lighten the belt almost instantaneously to restrict movement to prevent occupants moving forward and hitting steering wheel and dashboard. As per the details available at Hyundai i10 Features

The i10 features ABS, EBD and other safety features, which earned it high scores on the EuroNCAP crash tests.

Adult Occupant: 4/5 stars, score 26
Child Occupant: 4/5 stars, score 37
Pedestrian: 3/4 stars, score 21

The amount of safety features varies from market to market. While most countries have the i10 equipped with airbags for all passengers, the entry-level 1.1 manual transmission model in the Philippines can be sold without airbags.

Since launch and as of May 2009, ESP is still a special-order option for UK spec cars which prevents a full 5-star EuroNCAP score.
