August is National Brake Safety Awareness Month, a good time to look at the technology designed to assist when a potential collision develops ahead. Hyundai Automatic Emergency Braking capability is incorporated into Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist (FCA), which can warn you of certain collision risks and may automatically apply the brakes when necessary. At Blaise Alexander Hyundai of State College, we field plenty of questions about how this driver-assistance technology works behind the scenes. How Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist Detects a Threat Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist uses vehicle sensors to monitor the road ahead for certain potential collision risks. If the system detects a vehicle or other supported road user in your path, it can provide visual and audible warnings. If you do not begin braking in time, FCA may automatically apply the brakes to help avoid a collision or reduce its severity. Detection capabilities vary by Hyundai model and trim, with certain versions also able to recognize pedestrians, cyclists, and potential collisions with oncoming vehicles while turning at an intersection. Available Across Most of the Lineup Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist is part of Hyundai SmartSense and comes standard in some form on many current Hyundai vehicles, including the Hyundai Tucson, Hyundai Santa Fe, and Hyundai Elantra. Exact capabilities vary by model and trim. Certain versions add Cyclist and Junction Turning Detection, while more advanced versions can recognize additional collision risks in intersections and during lane changes. FCA works alongside other Hyundai SmartSense technologies such as Lane Keeping Assist and High Beam Assist to provide an additional layer of driver assistance.

Blaise Alexander Hyundai of State College can help you compare available Hyundai SmartSense features and understand how they work on the road.
