5 Innovative Car Safety Features on Today’s Hyundai Cars

One of the most important aspects to consider when buying a new car is how safe it’s going to be. With their new SmartSense suite of safety technology, Hyundai cars are some of the safest around, but there’s peace of mind in knowing exactly what features your car has to keep you safe on the road. Here at your local Crain Hyundai dealer, we’ve put together a list of five innovative car safety features that come standard with your new Hyundai car.

1. Lane Keeping Assist

Lane Keeping Assist is a safety feature designed to help keep your car in the center of your lane while driving. Lane Keeping Assist will detect if your vehicle begins to drift, and if your car ends up leaving your lane it will alert you with both a visual and an auditory cue. This feature can also help to correct your position in the lane by applying a subtle steering correction to bring you back into your lane if it detects that you have left it.

2. Smart Cruise Control

In addition to Hyundai’s standard cruise control system, some new Hyundais come equipped with the new Smart Cruise Control. This system works similarly to regular cruise control but has the additional feature of automatically adjusting your speed to keep you a safe distance away from the vehicle in front of you. When using Hyundai’s Smart Cruise Control you can even set this distance for yourself, which keeps you in control of what a “safe distance” means to you!

3. Downhill Brake Control

Downhill Brake Control is an exciting new safety feature for Hyundai drivers living in hilly or mountainous areas. When turned on, this feature will automatically slow your vehicle down to about 6 mph when traveling a steep hill, without the driver having to use the brake pedal. This allows you to concentrate fully on steering your car down steep inclines, allowing for easy and controlled descents down hills and twisty mountain roads.

4. Forward Collision Warning

Another of Hyundai’s most innovative safety features is the Forward Collision Warning system. This advanced safety feature is designed to prevent forward collisions by scanning the road in front of your vehicle and alerting you (and, if needed, automatically applying the brakes) if it detects a risk of a forward collision occurring. And, with this system’s new design, it works both in town and at freeway speeds, to keep you safe no matter the situation!

5. Blind-Spot Collision Warning

Hyundai’s Blind-Spot Collision Warning system helps you keep your eyes on the road by automatically scanning and detecting the presence of vehicles in your blind spots and alerting you, with both visual and auditory warnings on the corresponding side of your car. These sensors work at high speeds, detecting cars approaching in adjacent lanes on the freeway, and while parking or backing up, alerting drivers to the presence of vehicles or pedestrians around your car.

We understand the importance of safety and would be happy to talk you through any questions you have about Hyundai’s new suite of safety features. Come visit us at Crain Hyundai of Fayetteville, and find your dream car today!
