The Cadenza features advanced active safety systems
designed to help give you peace of mind every time you
drive.† Each one is engineered to help you maintain con-
trol, even in harsh road conditions and in some emergency
situations. These safety systems are designed to function
automatically, leaving you free to focus on safe driving.
No system, no matter how advanced, can compensate for all driver error and/or driving conditions. Always drive responsibly. CADENZA PREMIUM MODEL SHOWN. Some features may vary.

The Cadenza is equipped with passive safety
systems designed to help minimize injury when
certain traffic accidents are unavoidable. An
advanced airbag system helps protect driver
and passengers with dual front, front and rear
seat-mounted side, and full-length side-cur-
tain airbags. Cadenza wraps all of this — and
you — in a protective, high-strength, tensile
steel-reinforced body that absorbs impact
energy to help protect you in case of a collision.
