Focused on Safety

When backing out, RCCA warns the driver to the approach of a vehicle crossing their rearward path; if necessary, emergency braking is automatically applied to avoid a collision.

 If your car is too close with obstacle, PDW warns you by using ultrasonic sensors in the front and rear bumpers. So you can avoid scratches and park safely.

 When the turn signals are activated, the rear-side image of the corresponding direction is displayed in the cluster.

 LFA keeps you centered within the lane using its front view camera to monitor lane markers.

SCC maintains the set speed while keeping a set distance away from the vehicle ahead without ever requiring any additional inputs from the driver.

FCA capabilities have been expanded to include Junction Turning function. While driving if there is a risk of collision with an oncoming vehicle while turning right at an intersection, the function automatically assists with emergency braking. 

BCA uses rear corner radar to monitor both of your blind spots. If a vehicle is detected in the blind spot while the turn signal is flashing, BCA will automatically apply differential braking during your attempted lane change thus helping you avoid an unsafe lane change and a potential collision.

It’s hard to over-state just what a difference to safety ESC can make. Some say it’s the most important advance in safety since ABS brakes, the airbag or even safety belts. We agree. Which is why, in 2007, we became the first mainstream manufacturer to introduce Electronic Stability Control as standard on all New Zealand-new vehicles.

ESC works by electronically controlling engine torque and each of the four brakes when it senses that a vehicle is losing traction and veering off course. Independent research shows that cars equipped with it are a third less likely to be involved in a collision. 

ABS helps shorten braking distance and helps to maintain steering control in emergency situations. It achieves this by monitoring individual wheel speeds and controlling the braking pressure to each wheel to prevent a skid. 

When the ESS system senses emergency braking, it automatically flashes the rear brake lights 3 times and activates the hazard lights until the vehicle starts moving again - providing a warning to any surrounding traffic.

TCS maximises accelerating and climbing abilities by preventing wheelspin when the car accelerates or moves forward from a stopped stationary. If a tyre begins to slip under power, TCS quells the spinning by activating the brake on that wheel.

EBD ensures the best allocation of braking power among the front and rear wheels - depending on how weight is distributed, even as it changes under braking. For example, if there is luggage and rear passengers onboard, EBD distributes more of the braking force to the rear wheels, making it safer and more predictable. In emergency braking, BAS (Brake Assist System) instantly increases the car’s braking power to enable it to stop faster.

To make reversing easier and bump free, Hyundai New Zealand introduced reversing cameras as standard on every new vehicle it sells from 1st July, 2014. 

The reversing camera gives you eyes in the back of your bumper with a live video feed to show you exactly where (and what) you’re backing into. It makes parking much easier as well as improving convenience and safety. So forget ‘touch’ parking and scraping curbs.
