Hyundai SmartSense Features

Hyundai's latest vehicles come with an advanced feature called Hyundai SmartSense that makes your daily drive more convenient. This feature uses cameras, ultrasonic sensors, and radars to monitor your surroundings. It will alert the driver if there is a possibility of collision so that they can take corrective action. Hyundai SmartSense has a variety of features, including:

  • Blind-Spot View Monitor – The vehicle uses cameras to provide a live feed of the blind spot on the instrument cluster while you're attempting to change lanes.
  • Forward-Collision Avoidance Assist with Pedestrian Detection – If your car senses that a collision may happen, it will alert you. If you don't take action, the emergency brakes will automatically be applied to help prevent the collision from happening.
  • Lane Keeping Assist – This lane monitoring feature will detect if you accidentally change lanes. If this happens, an alert will sound, and the system will take corrective action to keep your vehicle in the detected lane.
  • High Beam Assist – When you're driving with your headlights on and approaching vehicles are detected, this feature will automatically switch between low and high beams.
  • Driver Attention Warning – Your vehicle will track how attentive you are while driving. If it recognizes that your attention is diminishing, it will send you an alert and show a message suggesting that you should take a break and rest.
  • Lane Following Assist – Your car will detect the lane marking when in a curve and assist in keeping your car centered in the correct lane.
  • Blind Spot Collision Avoidance Assist – If you plan to switch lanes while driving, this feature can watch for cars coming from behind in the lane next to you that you might not be able to see. If it detects a car, you will be alerted, and the car will slow down by applying the brakes on the left or right side to avoid a collision.

Hyundai vehicles come equipped with various standard safety features not a part of Hyundai SmartSense; these features include:

  • Rear Occupant Alert – Before exiting your vehicle, this feature will remind you to check for pets and children in your rear seats.
  • Surround View Monitor – On your instrument cluster, you can see a 360-degree view of your surroundings using exterior cameras.
  • Parking Distance Warning – Front and Reverse – Sensors located on the rear and front bumper can detect if you are getting too close to an object when parking.
