As technology becomes increasingly pivotal in our lives, the scope of tech features a Hyundai dealer can demonstrate across the range of vehicles they offer is truly impressive. With Hyundai at the forefront of technological innovation, your ability to reach your destination smoothly and without incident has never been surer.

5 Tech Features Showcased at Your Hyundai Dealer

Driver Attention Warning (DAW)

Safety is at the heart of many of Hyundai’s technical advancements, and its driver attention monitoring system is among the most valuable. Tiredness can easily set in on long drives, and momentarily switching off during these periods can have calamitous consequences.

By continuously monitoring your driving patterns, the system displays your current attention level on the LCD display. If the attention level drops right down, an audible alarm will sound to alert you. The alert triggers when the system detects a pattern change that coincides with fatigue-associated patterns.

Smart Cruise Control (SCC)

Making your driving easier is another crucial goal of these automation features. One of the most significant innovations is that of cruise technology. Designed to help reduce weariness, when deployed, it takes over the driving tasks of speed management and distance control to the car ahead.

A series of buttons on the steering wheel will allow you to set your desired speed and distance, enabling you to take your foot off the accelerator pedal.

Highway Driving Assist (HDA)

Hyundai has also created a highway driving assistant to work in conjunction with the cruise control system. Intelligent monitoring through cameras and sensors helps center the car in its lane and further control the distance to the vehicle in front.

The system can also detect the type of road you are on, so when you enter a controlled access road, it can make adjustments accordingly.

Blind-Spot Collision-Avoidance Assist (BCA)

Of course, moving between lanes to overtake is a maneuver that you are likely to perform regularly. A car in an adjacent lane coming out of your blind spot is always an issue and can potentially result in a collision.

Hyundai has developed a solution that allows your car to detect if there is another vehicle in the blind spot zone. Using radar sensors to locate any potential hazard, it will sound an alarm and apply the brake to prevent you from moving into the new lane if there is danger.

High Beam Assist (HBA)

Night driving is always more challenging, with higher levels of concentration usually required. Dazzling oncoming vehicles by accidentally leaving your high beam on is all too easy.

The need to frequently change between low and high beams can be eliminated with Hyundai’s beam assist technology. In simple terms, it uses sensors to locate oncoming traffic, altering your beam height to accommodate, allowing you to concentrate on the road ahead.

These are just a few of the features that Hyundai has built to improve your driving experience, there are many more to explore. Visit us at Crain Hyundai of Fort Smith today, and take a look at our latest inventory.
