The New Hyundai Kona is Packed with Safety

Every year, we see new and more advanced safety features being offered in the automotive market. The testing of vehicles has become more stringent and more safety items are expected to be part of what we see for the future of driving. The Hyundai Kona is being added to the market for 2019 and it’s equipped with several safety items that are ready to make an impression and allow you to experience the drive the way you want. You won’t have to worry if your attention wanders from the road for a few seconds with this new vehicle.

The Safety Items of the Hyundai Kona

Driver Attention Warning

This is an item that’s normally in the top luxury cars in the market, but it’s one that should be added to every vehicle on the market. This item is able to alert you when the Kona realized that your driving patterns have become erratic and show that you should possibly pull over for a break or stop for the day. This feature will help you by making sure you don’t fall asleep behind the wheel when you drive the Kona.

Blind Spot Collision Warning

You can’t see everything around your vehicle when you drive. There’s an area that can’t be seen in your mirrors, which makes it a blind spot. Unfortunately, the turning of your head and shoulders to see this area can be difficult and take your attention away from the road in front of you. Thankfully, this system in the Kona will keep an eye on things to let you know if there’s another vehicle in the area that’s considered your blind spot. If you try to change lanes into an occupied area, you’ll hear an audible alert to warn you.

Rear Cross Traffic Collision Warning

If you have to put the Hyundai Kona in reverse, you’re going to want to know what’s in your path so that you don’t run over anything. This feature uses sensors in the rear to actively scan the area and notify you when there’s another vehicle, a person, or an item in the path. When the visibility is low around the Kona, you’re going to be able to avoid hitting anything when you back up and get ready to drive this vehicle. Let this feature help you see what you don’t see behind the Kona.

Lane Keeping Assist

It’s important that you stay in your lane when you drive unless you signal and intentionally change lanes. The Hyundai Kona offers this lane keeping assist feature to make sure you stay safely in the center of your lane. If you drift from the center of the lane without signaling, this system will kick in and apply the corrective steering needed to get you where you need to be in your lane. This is an extremely useful system that you hope never has to be used, but if it does, you’ll be glad it’s part of the Hyundai Kona you drive.

Forward Collision Avoidance Assist with Pedestrian Detection

Wouldn’t you like to have a system on your vehicle that scans the area in front of you to help you avoid hitting anything? Of course you would, and this feature does just that in the Hyundai Kona. This system keeps an eye on what’s going on in front of you to make sure you can avoid running into anything or running anything over when you drive. This is especially useful when you have to get into line to drop kids off at school or are in stop and go traffic.
