Advancing technology brings safer vehicles. The Hyundai SmartSense safety system consists of safety technology that is designed to keep you aware and away from danger on every drive. While you're searching for your ideal Hyundai, keep an eye out for the safety features you'd like to have in your vehicle. We've laid out several of the features found in the Hyundai SmartSense safety package, so you can learn which active safety features are available and how they work. Blind-Spot Collision Warning The blind-spot collision warning system will alert you when a vehicle appears in your blind spot while your turn signal is active. The system will even apply the brakes if it detects that you are on course to collide with the hidden vehicle. Driver Attention Warning The driver attention warning system will learn your driving patterns. If you begin to show signs that you're not paying attention to the road or possibly experiencing drowsiness, the system will alert you audibly and visually to catch your attention or keep you alert. Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist The forward collision-avoidance assist system acts like another set of eyes on the road ahead of you. Using radar and a front camera, the system can detect whether you're on course to collide with the vehicle in front of you. The system will warn you of the potential collision, so you can apply the brakes, or it will automatically engage them for you to avoid the collision or reduce injury. You can also find forward collision-avoidance assist paired with pedestrian detection, so you can avoid colliding with pedestrians that cross into your intended driving path. more Lane Keeping Assist The lane keeping assist system can trace well-marked lines on the road. It's designed to keep you safely within your marked lane when your turn signal is off. If you start drifting out of your lane, this system will engage corrective steering. Rear Cross-Traffic Collision Warning The rear cross-traffic collision warning system is particularly useful when you want to back out of a parking spot but have low visibility. When you're in reverse, the system will detect vehicles that cross the path behind you and engage the brakes to avoid a collision if necessary. Smart Cruise Control If you like using standard cruise control, you'll appreciate the added features on the smart cruise control system. You can set your preferred distance between you and the vehicle immediately in front, and the system will automatically maintain that distance by engaging the brakes to match the speed of the vehicle ahead. This technology is especially useful when a slower-traveling vehicle merges directly in front of you while you're using cruise control. You may notice that smart cruise control is sometimes paired with stop and go, which can bring your vehicle to a complete stop if necessary. Now that you know more about the Hyundai SmartSense safety system, you can find a new Hyundai with your preferred safety features.
