When it comes to safety features offered on a vehicle, the electronic versions don’t take up more space in a small model than in a large one. In the past, safety items such as crumple zones, extra airbags, and a stronger frame were needed to give you added safety, but today, you can upgrade the safety with a few sensors and some added programming. Hyundai has found a way to make it possible for you to have a strong vehicle with a safer feeling on the road when you choose the Kona as the small SUV that you want to drive.

These Safety Features Make a Difference in the Kona

Driver Attention Warning

Here’s a feature that will measure your attention when you’re driving and make certain you say alert. This system in the Kona will analyze your driving patterns and signal you with an audible alert and visual message when you need to take a break and make sure you’re not suffering from fatigue when you drive on the roads in your area.

Blind Spot Collision Warning

It’s difficult for you to see what’s going on around the entire vehicle and this system will alert you to what’s going on in those blind areas. You’ll see a yellow indicator light in the Kona when other vehicles are in your blind area. If you attempt to change lanes while a vehicle is in the blind spot, you’ll hear an audible alert and see a flashing indicator when you’re on the road.

Rear Cross Traffic Collision Warning

Another area of the Hyundai Kona that can be hard to see when you drive is behind you when you back up. There could be traffic coming down the road that you just don’t see right away. This system will alert you when there is traffic in the cross path and help you from running into another vehicle by sounding off when you have the vehicle in reverse. This system makes it easier for you to stay safe.

Lane Keeping Assist

Here’s a system that will correct your steering and help you stay where you belong, in the center of your lane. Hyundai knows there are times when your attention may lapse and you may need to have a correction in the steering to make sure you stay where you belong in the lane. This system takes charge and keeps you where you belong in your lane when you don’t signal a change of lanes that you want to make.

Forward Collision Avoidance Assist with Pedestrian Detection

As a family vehicle, you may drive your Hyundai Kona into drop-off lines or around town at low speeds. This safety system is created to help you avoid a collision up front and monitor for pedestrians or cyclists that might be in your path. This is a feature that will stop the vehicle and apply the brakes when you don’t respond as quickly as you should to what’s going on around the vehicle.
