When navigating Memphis's bustling streets and highways, safety is always the top priority for drivers. The heavy traffic, complex intersections, and unpredictable road conditions make it essential to have advanced safety features in your vehicle. That's why Gossett Hyundai South is proud to offer vehicles equipped with Hyundai SmartSense, an advanced suite of driver-assistive safety technologies designed to provide added peace of mind and protection behind the wheel. These features use a combination of cameras, sensors, and intelligent software to continuously monitor the vehicle's surroundings and alert the driver to potential hazards.
Hyundai SmartSense enhances your situational awareness and reaction times, whether you're commuting to work in downtown Memphis, running errands around the city, or embarking on a weekend road trip. By providing visual, audible, and even tactile warnings, Hyundai SmartSense empowers drivers to make informed decisions and respond quickly to changing road conditions, ultimately reducing the risk of accidents and keeping you safer on Memphis roads.
Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist
Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist (FCA) is a cornerstone feature of Hyundai SmartSense. It utilizes front-mounted cameras and radar sensors to continuously scan the road ahead for vehicles, pedestrians, and other potential obstacles. If FCA detects a risk of a frontal collision, it promptly alerts the driver with visual and audible warnings. If the driver does not respond in time, FCA can automatically apply emergency braking to help prevent or mitigate the severity of a collision, providing an additional layer of safety on Memphis roads.
Lane Keeping Assist
Lane Keeping Assist (LKA) helps prevent unintended lane departures by using cameras to monitor the vehicle's position within its lane. If the car begins to drift out of its lane without the use of a turn signal, LKA provides gentle steering corrections to guide the vehicle back to the center of the lane. This feature is particularly beneficial when driving on highways in and around Memphis, where a momentary lapse in attention can lead to dangerous lane departures. LKA works with Lane Departure Warning, which alerts the driver with visual and audible cues when the vehicle veers out of its lane.
Driver Attention Warning
Driver Attention Warning (DAW) continuously monitors the driver's behavior for signs of drowsiness or inattention by analyzing patterns in steering input, vehicle position within the lane, and other factors. Suppose DAW identifies signs of driver fatigue or distraction. In that case, it alerts the driver with a chime and a visual warning message on the instrument cluster, reminding them to take a break, rest, or refocus their attention on the road. By proactively addressing driver fatigue, DAW helps reduce the likelihood of accidents caused by drowsy or distracted driving on the streets of Memphis.
Blind-Spot Collision Warning
Blind-Spot Collision Warning (BCW) employs sensors mounted on the side mirrors to detect vehicles present in the driver's blind spots. When a vehicle is detected, BCW provides a visual alert on the corresponding side mirror, ensuring the driver is aware of the vehicle's presence. If the driver activates the turn signal while a vehicle is in the blind spot, BCW emits an audible warning urging caution before changing lanes. BCW helps drivers make safer lane changes and avoid potential collisions on bustling Memphis roads, especially during heavy traffic or highway driving.
