Safety In Numbers

Hyundai is generous when it comes to standard safety features, and offers a vast array of available tech depending on your needs. For example, the 2024 Hyundai SANTA FE comes standard with Blind Spot Collision Avoidance, Remote Start Parking Assist, Highway Driving Assist, Surround View Monitor, and Navigation Based Smart Cruise Control. Standard and available safety features vary depending on trim and model, but expect these Hyundai SmartSense features to be available for your Hyundai vehicle:

Hyundai Safety Features

  • Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist with Pedestrian Detection
    The system warns you of a potential collision if it detects a vehicle or pedestrian in your path. The  system may automatically apply braking, if you don’t step on the brakes.
  • Blind-Spot Collision-Avoidance Assist
    If a vehicle is detected in your blind spot while your turn signal’s on, the system will alert you and may automatically apply the left or right front brake before you change lanes.
  • Blind-Spot View Monitor
    The digital instrument cluster displays a live video feed of your blind spot, every time you use the turn signal before a lane change.
  • Lane Following Assist
    This feature keeps the driver centered in the lane by using the front facing cameras.
  • Lane Keeping Assist
    Your vehicle warns you through audio and visual cues if your vehicle drifts out of its driving lane without signaling. If necessary, it will gently apply corrective steering assistance to keep you inside the lane.
  • Driver Attention Warning
    To help prevent potential accidents, this system monitors your driving patterns to detect drowsy or inattentive driving. Once detected, it alerts you with a sound cue coupled with a warning message on the instrument cluster.
  • High Beam Assist
    Constantly turning your high beams off and on can be a hassle, which is why this thoughtful feature automatically does it for you. It can detect oncoming vehicles and toggle between high and low beams accordingly.
