Your Guide to Hyundai SmartSense: Confidence Built In at Baytown Hyundai


At Baytown Hyundai, we know peace of mind matters just as much as style and performance. That’s where Hyundai SmartSense comes in. This suite of driver-assist features is designed to help you stay alert, react faster, and protect what matters most – whether you're cruising through Baytown traffic or hitting the road toward Houston.

Here’s a closer look at what SmartSense offers and how it can make every drive feel more secure, more relaxed, and a whole lot smarter.

What Is Hyundai SmartSense?

Hyundai SmartSense is a collection of advanced safety and convenience features built into most new Hyundai vehicles. These systems use sensors, cameras, and radar to help you avoid accidents, stay in control, and reduce driving stress.

The best part? Many SmartSense features come standard – even on base trims – so you don’t have to pay extra for peace of mind.

Key SmartSense Features and What They Do

  • Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist (FCA): This system is watching the road ahead. If it detects a possible collision with a vehicle, pedestrian, or cyclist, it can warn you and even apply the brakes to help you avoid – or reduce the severity of – a collision.
  • Lane Keeping Assist (LKA): If you drift without a signal, Lane Keeping Assist can gently guide your vehicle back into the lane. Perfect for those long highway drives or morning commutes when distractions start to seep in.
  • Blind-Spot Collision-Avoidance Assist (BCA): When you're changing lanes, this system monitors the blind spots. If it sees something in your way, it can alert you – and even briefly brake on one side to keep you safe.
  • Rear Cross-Traffic Collision-Avoidance Assist (RCCA): Getting out of tight spaces is made simpler. RCCA alerts you to oncoming vehicles while you reverse and, if necessary, can even apply brakes.
  • Smart Cruise Control (SCC) with Stop and Go: This function is designed to maintain a pre-set gap from the vehicle ahead. It can bring the car to a complete stop when necessary and resume automatically when traffic allows.
  • Driver Attention Warning (DAW): This feature continuously monitors driving habits to detect drowsiness or distraction. If it detects such behavior, it provides a warning with a suggestion to take a break to enhance driver attentiveness and safety.
  • Highway Driving Assist (HDA): In some models, this function combines adaptive cruise control and lane centering to assist with maintaining the ideal lane and a safe distance from other vehicles on the highway.

Which Hyundai Models Offer SmartSense?
