Airbags
- 2 advanced front airbags
- 2 front seat-mounted side-impact airbags
- 2 roof-mounted side-curtain airbags
- On deployment, these airbags help prevent side impact injuries to the head and the upper body.

Seatbelt pretensioners
- Accent’s front seatbelt pretensioners tighten the driver and front passenger shoulder belts during a frontal impact. This reduces the occupants’ forward movement and helps position them for optimal effectiveness of the airbags.

Structural integrity
- The Accent’s reinforced steel unibody construction, steel side-impact door beams, front and rear crumple zones, hood-buckling creases and safety stops all help lessen the effect of an impact on the cabin.
