What is Hyundai Safe Exit Warning?

Benefits of Hyundai's Safe Exit Warning
There are many benefits to choosing a Hyundai with Safe Exit Warning. We will get into these below.
Enhanced Passenger Safety
With the Safe Exit Warning enabled inside your Hyundai, you can breathe a little easier knowing that if a door is opened in the path of other cars, people, or bicycles, you will receive an alert to close it and not exit the vehicle. This can keep rear passengers, especially children, out of harm's way.
Accident Prevention
Staying accident-free is the priority of Safe Exit Warning, and this driver-assistance feature will prevent another car or object from damaging your door on the road.
Increased Awareness
The more alerts and sensors working with you each time you get in the car, the better aware you will be in your Hyundai. Safe Exit Warning has your back if you miss an oncoming vehicle, person, bike, or object, and can help protect you, your passengers, and your Hyundai.
