Hyundai SmartSense™
At Hyundai, we’re always searching for new and better ways to make driving safer. Because as with every other aspect of life, driving is unpredictable – and we believe it makes sense to do everything possible to help avoid these situations, just in case. Our dedicated engineers and designers strive to create increasingly smarter, stronger and more technologically-advanced cars that minimise the very real risks on the road for drivers, passengers and pedestrians alike.
ANCAP star ratings indicate the level of safety a vehicle provides for drivers, passengers and pedestrians in the event of a crash, as well as its ability – through technology – to avoid or minimise the effects of a crash. We are absolutely committed to safety, and that’s why all our vehicles have been ANCAP tested to guarantee the highest possible safety ratings in their respective classes. With Hyundai, you can be confident it’s not just you that puts you and your family’s safety first.
Roads and other drivers can be unpredictable, and one of your biggest challenges is avoiding the dangers and obstacles you don’t see coming. That’s why we integrate cutting-edge technology like Hyundai SmartSense™ into our cars, to cover your blind spots and step in with steering assistance and awareness when needed. Comprised of sensors, cameras, alerts and alarms, plus brilliant software that ties them all together, Hyundai SmartSense™ includes applications like Smart Cruise Control, Lane Keeping Assist and Driver Attention Warning, to always keep a watchful eye out for you, your passengers and other road users.
Our suite of advanced safety technologies have been subtly incorporated into the design of each and every model, inside and out, so they’re always on guard and ready to protect you, even if you don’t notice them much of the time.
Achieving the highest possible ANCAP ratings for our cars is one way to demonstrate our commitment to safety. But we don’t stop there. On top of all the safety fundamentals (such as airbags, anti-lock brakes and traction control), we go further by adding some of the most advanced car safety tech.
Smart Cruise Control (SCC) maintains the pre-set speed of your vehicle by using the mounted camera or front radar sensors detecting the speed of vehicles ahead, maintaining a safe distance by braking and accelerating back up to the pre-set speed. When equipped with Smart Cruise Control with Stop & Go the feature also works in stop-start traffic to can automatically bring the vehicle to a stop or accelerate as needed.
The windshield mounted camera continually monitors the vehicle's position in the lane and analyses steering corrections and driving patterns to detect signs of fatigue, issuing a warning alert and visual to advise the driver to take a break.
An ultrasonic sensor detects movement when the car is locked, where Rear Occupant Alert (ROA) sounds the horn and flashes headlights to attract the driver's attention and ensure no one is left behind in an unattended vehicle.
The Surround View Monitor comes in handy when on the move with luggage blocking the rear-view or for tight parking spots by giving the driver a 360-degree bird’s eye view of the vehicle’s surroundings.
Using the front and rear sensors of the car, Safe Exit Assist (SEA) alerts of hazards approaching that may make exiting the vehicle unsafe.
What could be more convenient than a steering assist system that helps manoeuvre in and out of parking spots? Simply select ‘Reverse Parking (90o)’, ‘Parallel Parking’ or 'Parallel Exit’ mode and let your vehicle do the rest.
