Over the years, Hyundai has become one of America's safest car brands on the road. With SmartSense technology in all new models from Hyundai and an ever-expanding list of driver-assistance features, you can't go wrong choosing a car, truck, or SUV. In this post, we will break down the Blind Spot Collision Avoidance Assist feature that your new Hyundai has, plus go over its benefits. Stick around as we get started, and let's get to the bottom of this underrated safety option!
What is Blind Spot Collision Avoidance Assist?
Hyundai Blind Spot Collision Avoidance Assist is a feature within the SmartSense suite that detects cars in your blind spot on the road, working to alert you of them and provide potential braking intervention. This will be a light that pops up on the side mirrors of your Hyundai and can work through audible tones and/or steering wheel vibrations.
Tip: You can also choose between an "Active Assist" or a "Warning Only" for this safety feature, with the Active Assist option working to physically apply brakes if needed. The Warning Only mode utilizes the light on the side mirror and an alert tone/vibration.
How to Use Blind Spot Collision Avoidance Assist
Hyundai Blind Spot Collision Avoidance Assist works alongside your standard safety equipment, but you should make sure it is turned on in your car's settings. Hyundai drivers can find it in their "Driver Assistance" or "Safety" tabs, and you want to check if it is activated. What's nice is that this safety option is automatic and will alert and help prevent blind-spot-related accidents while you are on the road.
Benefits of Hyundai's Blind Spot Collision Avoidance Assist
The benefits of Hyundai Blind Spot Collision Avoidance Assist are apparent as soon as you get on the road or highway. Because your blind spot is essentially a dead zone for your sight or reaction, the Blind Spot Collision Avoidance Assist feature works to see and monitor cars in it for you. This can prevent side-swiping someone while traveling at high or low speeds and also kicks in once you reach 40 MPH.
Enhanced Safety Features
As part of the Hyundai SmartSense safety suite, you will notice that enhanced safety is standard across all newer vehicles. Hyundai Blind Spot Collision Avoidance Assist, or BCA, will bridge the gap between rear-side cars creeping up behind and to the side of you, and you staying out of accidents on the road ahead.
Improved Driving Confidence
The safer you feel behind the wheel, the better your driving confidence in a Hyundai will be. One goal Hyundai has for its customers is total confidence in its vehicles, and improved driver-assistance features for all new cars, trucks, and SUVs make that happen.
Models Equipped with Blind Spot Collision Avoidance Assist
Hyundai will offer Blind Spot Collision Avoidance Assist in most of its lineup, including newer vehicles like the Elantra, Ioniq 5, Ioniq 6, Kona, Palisade, Santa Fe, Sonata, Tucson, Santa Cruz, and Nexo.
