Hyundai is known for its dependable, reliable vehicles and excellent safety features. This brand has received more Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) Top Safety Pick Awards over the last five years than its competitors. In 2021 alone, Hyundai received seven Top Safety Picks. The Hyundai SmartSense suite of safety features helps protect Hyundai drivers and passengers, prevent accidents, and improve their peace of mind. Here are some of the outstanding available safety features that make a Hyundai vehicle a great buy.
1. Collision Avoidance
SmartSense forward collision avoidance warns you if you’re approaching another vehicle, a pedestrian, or a stationary object like a wall quickly enough to make an accident likely. If you don’t slow down or stop, the system will attempt to avoid the accident by applying the brakes automatically.
Blind spot collision warning lets you know if any vehicles in your blind spot are getting too close. When you use your turn signal, this system also checks for vehicles in the lane next to you. Rear cross-traffic collision warning notifies you if any of the vehicles behind you are in your way when you’re backing up.
2. Driver Assistance
Many SmartSense features make driving easier and less stressful. High beam assistance can sense oncoming traffic and then dim your high beams for you. This makes an accident less likely by increasing visibility for any vehicles approaching you. After you go past these, high beam assistance will reactivate your high beams for you.
Lane-keeping assistance can detect the marks between lanes on many roads and highways. If it detects you veering out of your lane, it can apply corrective steering to help you stay within the correct lane. With smart cruise control, you can set your desired speed. Then, it will slow down the car automatically when the vehicle in front of you slows down. When the road in front of you is clear again, the system will return the vehicle to the speed you set.
The advanced smart parking assistance system can park your vehicle for you. Just select reverse parking, parallel parking, or parallel exit modes.
3. Interior Safety Features
Driver attention warning monitors you and lets you know if your attention wanders for any reason or your behavior suggests that you’re fatigued. It provides an audio and visual warning.
When you exit the vehicle from a parking space near traffic, safe exit assistance will detect the cars near you and let you know if getting out of the car isn’t safe. It can also activate the rear door locks to keep kids from getting out of the vehicle when traffic is approaching. Many vehicles also have a rear occupant alert that sends a warning to your smartphone if you leave a child or pet inside a car.
