The road is shorter, more direct than the fuel delivery, allowing for greater control of fuel mixture at the optimum time, thus increasing efficiency. Fuel is injected by a camshaft-driven pump, high pressure operating at pressures up to 2175 psi. Direct injection also uses a higher compression ratio of 11.3:1 normal for increased power. The pistons are "dished" to increase the efficiency of combustion in the cylinder. This powerplant gives the best fuel economy in its class and best-in-class four-cylinder horsepower and torque in its class.

SAFETY

Airbags

Even took us on an extreme safety. Six airbags with Occupant Classification System Home, high tensile strength steel and Vehicle Stability Management system standard on all Veloster sophisticated.

Vehicle Stability Management (VSM)

Vehicle Stability Management system that coordinates Veloster Electronic Stability Control (ESC), Traction Control System (TCS), plus anti-lock braking system (ABS) and Electronic Brake-force Distribution (EBD) with Brake Assist to create an integrated security system is active for help you avoid accidents.

Electronic Stability Control (ESC)

One of the three elements in Veloster Vehicle Stability Management system, Electronic Stability Control system uses sensors in each wheel and the wheel to compare where you want to go to where the car is heading. If the difference between the two is detected, Electronic Stability Control slows the appropriate wheel to steer the car and helps you stay on track.

Traction Control System (TCS)

Working closely with the ESC, TCS limit the power and applies brakes to individual wheels to reduce the occurrence of wheelspin, and route power to the wheels with most traction.

Anti-lock braking system (ABS)

Emergency braking maneuver can cause the wheels to lock and skid, resulting in loss of steering control exactly when you need it. Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) helps prevent the possibility of restrictions on the wheel under hard braking, rapid pulse and brakes to help you maintain steering control when you stop.

Electronic Brake-Force Distribution (EBD)

Helps the driver maintain control of confidence in difficult braking situation, Electronic Brake-force Distribution (EBD) balances braking forces at each wheel vehicle depending on passenger weight and cargo carrying vehicles.

Brake Assist

Brake Assist detects emergency braking assist and ensure maximum braking force is applied immediately to minimize stopping distances.
