When you’re driving a Hyundai, safety and convenience are key priorities. Hyundai has developed Hyundai SmartSense with a range of advanced features to make every drive smoother, safer, and more enjoyable. At Crain Hyundai of Bentonville, we’re excited to share how these technologies work and which models you can find them in. Let’s dive into some of Hyundai’s top driving convenience features.

Lane Following Assist (LFA)
Ever get nervous about drifting out of your lane, especially on long trips? Lane Following Assist is here to help you stay in your lane, literally. This feature uses sensors to monitor lane markings and provides gentle steering adjustments to keep you centered in your lane. You can find LFA in models like the Hyundai Tucson and Santa Fe. It’s like having an extra hand to make sure you stay on track, whether you’re driving around Bentonville or hitting the highway for a road trip.

Smart Cruise Control (SCC)
If you enjoy using cruise control on highways, you’ll love Smart Cruise Control. This feature takes traditional cruise control to the next level by adjusting your speed to keep a safe distance from the car in front of you. Available in models like the Hyundai Sonata, SCC not only maintains your set speed but also slows down or speeds up based on traffic conditions. Say goodbye to constantly adjusting your speed in stop-and-go traffic.

Smart Cruise Control (SCC) with Stop & Go
Need to make driving in traffic even easier? SCC with Stop & Go does just that. When you’re in stop-and-go traffic, this feature automatically slows down when the car ahead does, and it can even bring your Hyundai to a complete stop. When traffic starts moving again, so does your vehicle—no need to touch the brake or gas! You can find this feature in the Hyundai Palisade and Elantra, making city driving much less stressful.

Hillstart Assist Control (HAC)
Hillstart Assist Control is perfect for those tricky uphill starts. When you’re stopped on a steep hill, it can feel a little intimidating to prevent rolling backward when you move forward. HAC holds the brake for a few seconds, giving you time to switch from the brake to the gas without worrying about rolling. Models like the Hyundai Kona and Venue come equipped with this feature, which is especially helpful in hilly areas around Bentonville.

Highway Driving Assist (HDA)
Highway Driving Assist combines several of Hyundai’s advanced technologies to make highway driving easier and safer. It uses Smart Cruise Control, Lane Following Assist, and navigation data to help you stay in your lane and maintain the correct speed, all while keeping a safe distance from the car ahead. You’ll find HDA in the Hyundai Santa Fe and Palisade, making long highway trips much more comfortable.

Downhill Braking Control (DBC)
Going down steep hills can be just as tricky as going up them, but Downhill Braking Control makes it a breeze. This feature automatically applies the brakes when going downhill to maintain a safe, steady speed, so you don’t have to worry about going too fast. DBC is available in models like the Hyundai Tucson and is ideal for keeping control in mountainous or hilly areas.

Highway Driving Assist 2 (HDA 2)
Taking it up a notch, Highway Driving Assist 2 goes beyond basic highway assistance. This feature offers semi-autonomous driving, with capabilities like automatic lane changing and advanced speed control. If you’re driving a Hyundai Ioniq 5, you can enjoy this next-level convenience. HDA 2 helps you maintain a safe distance from other vehicles and automatically changes lanes when necessary—making highway driving almost effortless.
