Hyundai SmartSense

Our network of advanced safety and convenience tech.

Confidence. Convenience. Cutting edge.⁠

From blind spots to tight parking spots - Hyundai never stops thinking of ways to make your drive safer and easier. That’s why every new Hyundai comes with a full suite of intelligent sensors that automatically look out for you. Using cameras, sonar and radars, SmartSense features are like an extra set of eyes when you drive or park.⁠

Making your drive safer.

Safety that always looks ahead, makes sure you’re not drifting, and checks your blind spot – even shows it to you onscreen. Several SmartSense features not only warn you of potential accidents, they step in when necessary to help keep you and your passengers safe.

Driving Safety

Hyundai Forward Collision Avoidance Assist with Pedestrian Detection

Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist with Pedestrian Detection (FCA-Ped)⁠

When the system detects a vehicle or pedestrian in your path, it warns you of a potential collision. If you don’t begin stopping in time, the system may automatically apply braking.⁠

Hyundai Blind Spot Collision Avoidance Assist

Blind-Spot Collision-Avoidance Assist (BCA)⁠

If your Hyundai detects a vehicle in your blind spot while your turning signal's on, it will alert you and may automatically apply the left or right front brake before you change lanes.⁠

Blind-Spot View Monitor (BVM)⁠

When you use the turn signal before a lane change, the digital instrument cluster displays a live video feed of your blind spot from the side-view mirror cameras.⁠

Lane Following Assist (LFA)⁠

Using the front-view camera to detect lane markers on the road, this feature assists the driver's steering to help keep the vehicle centered inside the lane.⁠

Lane Keeping Assist (LKA)⁠

This feature warns you through audio and visual cues if it detects your vehicle drifting out of its driving lane without signaling. If necessary, it may gently apply corrective steering assistance to keep you inside the lane.⁠

Driver Attention Warning (DAW)⁠

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 (HBA)⁠

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.⁠

Making your drive easier.

Convenience that helps make commutes and long drives more bearable by safely taking over the tedious parts of driving when you want them to.

Driving Convenience

Smart Cruise Control (SCC) with Stop & Go⁠

While traveling at a speed set by you, it uses radars to maintain a safe distance from the car ahead. After the system slows the vehicle to a stop, it will reactivate if the vehicle in front moves within 3 seconds.⁠

Highway Driving Assist (HDA)⁠

When actively engaged with Smart Cruise Control or Lane Following Assist, it automatically helps keep you centered in your lane and traveling at a safe distance behind the car ahead. It also can keep you driving at the right speeds, automatically setting your pace based on GPS and highway data.⁠

Highway Driving Assist 2 (HDA-2)⁠

When actively engaged with Smart Cruise Control or Lane Following Assist, it adjusts steering and speed to help keep you centered in your lane and traveling at a safe distance behind the car ahead. With Lane Change Assist, when you use your turn signal at 37 mph or higher, it automatically changes lanes for you. It can also adjust your position in the lane if a vehicle in the next lane drives too close. And at lower speeds it can react to a vehicle that suddenly cuts you off.⁠

Downhill Braking Control (DBC)⁠

When activated this feature will automatically slow your vehicle as it heads downhill. It will also maintain a slower speed so that you can focus on steering safely to avoid obstacles caused by traffic, weather or road conditions.⁠

Looking out – and even in – when you park.

Potential accidents can come from anywhere when you park. So, SmartSense parking-related sensors keep an eye out for you when you’re backing out or in. They also help keep your backseat passengers safe, whether they’re getting out onto a road or accidentally left inside.

Parking Safety

Rear Cross-Traffic Collision-Avoidance Assist (RCCA)⁠

When you’re going in reverse, it lets you know if its sensors detect a vehicle approaching from the left or right. It may even apply the brakes automatically if needed⁠

Advanced Rear Occupant Alert (Advanced ROA)⁠

As the engine is turned off, a visual warning in the instrument cluster reminds you to check the rear seats before exiting. Additionally, overhead sensors monitor the backseat area to minimize the risk of a child or pet accidentally being left inside after the vehicle is parked and locked. If sensors detect movement, the horn will honk, lights will flash and your smartphone will receive an alert through Bluelink®.⁠

Rear Occupant Alert (ROA)⁠

Reminds you to check the backseat area to ensure a child or pet isn’t accidentally left inside after you park.⁠

Safe Exit Assist (SEA)⁠

This pioneering innovation warns the driver when the vehicle is parked and its radar detects a vehicle approaching from behind. If necessary, it can override attempts to deactivate the Electronic Child Safety Lock until it’s safe for your child to open the door.⁠

Safe Exit Warning (SEW)⁠

This pioneering innovation warns the driver when the vehicle is parked and its radar detects a vehicle approaching from behind.⁠

Helping you hate parking a little less.

These features help you deal with the hassles of parking, from tight spaces to crowded lots. Our SmartSense cameras and sensors help make it less stressful - whether it’s giving you a better view around you, warning you of an approaching car, or even parking your Hyundai for you.

Parking Convenience

Reverse Parking Collision-Avoidance Assist (PCA-R)⁠

When you're reversing in a parking spot, you'll get an audio warning when sensors detect a potential collision. It may even apply brakes if necessary.⁠

Surround View Monitor (SVM)⁠

Shows you the bird’s-eye camera views from the sides and rear of your vehicle on your touchscreen display.⁠

Premium Remote Smart Parking Assist (RSPA)⁠

This enables your Hyundai to park itself, even when you’re not inside. It can parallel park, and enter into and exit out of a parking space with a press and hold of your Smart Key button.⁠

Remote Smart Parking Assist (RSPA)⁠

This enables your Hyundai to park itself, even when you're not inside. It can back into and pull out of a parking space with a push of your Smart Key button.⁠
