A Comprehensive Guide to Hyundai SmartSense

Safety and Driver-Assistance Features on Hyundai

If you had the chance to make your drive easier, wouldn’t you take it? Hyundai has given drivers across the country the option of having hands-free and intelligent assistance when behind the wheel of one of their vehicles, and it’s in the form of Hyundai SmartSense.

Hyundai SmartSense is Hyundai’s network of advanced safety and convenience technology. It was created to make your drives safer and easier by utilizing cameras, sonar, and radar. It’s as if you have an extra set of eyes with you whenever you crank your car. Let’s dive into the different features that come with Hyundai SmartSense.

Hyundai SmartSense Features

Driving Safety

• Lane Keeping Assist: Uses audio and visual cues to warn you if it detects your vehicle drifting out of its lane without a turn signal. Gentle corrective steering assistance may be applied if necessary.
• Driver Attention Warning: Monitors your driving patterns to detect drowsy or inattentive driving, alerting if necessary.
• Forward Attention Monitor: Using a driver-facing camera, this feature monitors the driver’s attentiveness to the road by detecting eye position.
• Lane Following Assist: Assists the driver’s steering to help keep the vehicle centered in its lane by using a front-view camera.
• Blind-Spot Collision-Avoidance Assist: This will alert you if your Hyundai detects a vehicle in your blind spot while the turn signal is on.
• Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist with Pedestrian Detection: Warns you if a vehicle or pedestrian is detected in your path. May automatically apply braking if you don’t begin stopping in time.

Driving Convenience

• Smart Cruise Control with Stop and Go: Uses radar to maintain a safe distance from the car ahead of you when traveling at your set speed.

• Highway Driving Assist 2: Contains all the features of the original HAD, but has the added bonus of assisting you when changing lanes.

Parking Safety

• Advanced Rear Occupant Alert: Reminds you to check the rear seats before exiting your vehicle. Also uses overhead sensors to monitor the backseat and minimize the risk of a pet or child being left when exiting the vehicle.
• Rear Occupant Alert: A visual warning in the instrument cluster reminds drivers to check the back seat before exiting.

Parking Convenience

• Reverse Parking Collision-Avoidance Assist: When reversing out of a parking spot, sensors that detect a potential collision will elicit an audio warning and apply the brakes if necessary.
