Hyundai has your back with SmartSense Safety Features. Available on select trims, here's an overview of SmartSense:

DAW – Driver Attention Warning might be your best friend as you make the long drive from Hazelton to Reading. Constantly monitoring your driving patterns, it searches for signs you're getting inattentive or drowsy. If you are, a warning message flashes on the instrument panel and a sound cues to grab your attention and drag you back from the edge of sleep.

HBA – You need your high beams at times. High Beam Assist automatically detects approaching traffic and lowers your high beams as a thoughtful gesture. When the vehicle passes by, HBA switches your high beams back on so you can see further up the road.

LKA – Lane Keeping Assist is truly amazing technology. If you start to wander from your lane without signaling, audio and visual cues send a warning. Your vehicle assists you and applies gentle corrective steering to keep you in your lane while making that trek from Bethlehem to Hamburg.

FCA – also known as Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist, sensors warn you upon detecting stopped or slowing vehicles as you approach. In the event you cannot brake quickly, the sensor's signal an emergency braking system to either avoid a collision or reduce its severity.

SCC – When you make the drive from Allentown to Hazelton, Smart Cruise Control uses radar to maintain a safe distance between you and the next vehicle.

BCW – Who hasn't wished for a Blind-Spot Collision Warning before? When radar detects one or more vehicles in your blind spot, it gives a visual heads-up. If you go to change lanes, an audio alert sounds to let you know there's a car in your blind spot.

SEA – Keep your passengers safe when exiting your vehicle in Reading. If your vehicle's radar senses another car approaching from behind, it warns your passengers beforehand, so they don't step out into a dangerous path.
