3 Impressive Car Safety Features You’ll Find at Your Hyundai Dealer

Even with vehicle safety features, the little things matter. Hyundai offers major safety features, such as Smart Cruise Control, Lane Keeping Assist, and Blind Spot Collision Warning. However, Hyundai has some less frequently discussed impressive safety features available that make a difference in your daily travel. You can choose the car safety features you want when you shop online at the website of your local Hyundai dealer.

Safe Exit Assist

You are at your destination, so you unlock the child-safety lock, and your children in the rear seat exit the vehicle. No safety features are needed here, right? Wrong! Opening the car door and stepping out can, at the very least, result in damage to the door. This concern occurred to Hyundai. So, whether you are parked by the curb or in a parking space, Hyundai’s Safe Exit Assist (SEA) protects rear passengers exiting your vehicle.

A button by the driver’s door lock activates the SEA. The SEA uses the Blind Spot Collision radar in the rear bumper to monitor approaching traffic. The SEA won’t allow the back doors to be unlocked if there is a danger. Besides protecting rear-seat passengers, it also protects approaching cyclists.

Ultrasonic Rear Occupant Alert

The Rear Occupant Alert (ROA) is activated if a rear door is opened before the vehicle is started. When the driver prepares to exit the car, the ROA reminds the driver to check the back seat. Unfortunately, this isn’t always enough. Children can get into unlocked vehicles on their own, and pets can slip in if a door is left open when the car is being unloaded. So Hyundai developed the Ultrasonic Rear Occupant Alert.

The Ultrasonic Rear Occupant Alert provides the standard reminder to check the rear seat. In addition, if the system detects motion in the back seats after the driver has left the vehicle, the system activates the horn, the lights, and sends a Blue Link alert to the driver’s smartphone.

Remote Smart Parking Assist

You see the perfect parking place, but once you pull into the place, you and your passengers won’t be able to get out of the car. Don’t worry. Hyundai offers Remote Smart Parking Assist (RPSA). Just pull up to the parking space, put your vehicle in park, select the RSPA button on the console, and you and your passengers can exit the car. You need to stay out of the vehicle’s path but within 13 feet of it.

Select the move forward button on your Smart Key and hold it down. Your vehicle will move forward up to 23 feet, steer to avoid objects, and stop if it can’t avoid an obstacle. Release the button, press remote start, and your vehicle will shift to park. To back your car out of the parking place, use the move backward button. Your vehicle will use the Rear Cross-Traffic Collision-Avoidance system to avoid pedestrians and cars.
