It doesn’t matter how good your car looks, how smoothly it drives, or how precisely it handles: if you don’t feel safe behind the wheel then you won’t enjoy the drive. That’s why Hyundai has made sure that their vehicles are equipped to protect you and your passengers, with advanced driving technology as standard. Read on to find out about some of the car safety features you can discuss with your Hyundai dealer.
1. Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist
No matter how carefully you drive, it’s impossible to predict exactly how other vehicles might behave. However, Hyundai’s automatic emergency braking feature gives you assistance when it comes to reacting to unexpected obstructions, working to prevent the vehicle from crashing into obstructions in front.
Using radar sensors and a camera mounted on the windshield, the system detects when a collision is imminent, warning the driver and even applying the brakes to avoid or lessen the impact.
2. Lane Departure Warning
Designed to prevent your car from drifting into another lane, Hyundai’s lane departure and lane keep assist systems use cameras on the front windshield to identify lane markers. If a momentary lapse of attention means that you start to coast over the lines, the feature will issue a visual and auditory warning before gently steering your car back to safety.
3. Blind Spot Collision-Avoidance Assist
On a busy freeway, it can be difficult to keep tabs on all of the cars in your proximity and easy to miss vehicles in your blind spot as you begin to merge. Using sensors in the rear bumper, Hyundai’s blind spot monitoring system identifies when it might be dangerous to change lanes. If you prepare to merge by indicating, your car will issue a warning noise, illuminate the wing mirror, and may also briefly activate the brakes to prevent or lessen a collision.
4. Parking Safety
Hyundai has also included a number of features to support you in parking safely. The rear cross-traffic safety system functions when the vehicle is in reverse, and is used to detect vehicles traveling behind. It will issue a warning and may apply the brakes momentarily to prevent a collision.
