Safety is one of the most significant concerns drivers have when buying a new car, but that's not something you ever have to worry about with the 2017 Hyundai Elantra. As a 2017 IIHSÂ TOP SAFETY PICK+, you can count on it to keep you and everyone on-board safe as you travel through Odessa, Middletown, and Dover.
Plus, the 2017 Hyundai Elantra safety features comes with a variety of advanced technology to better ensure your peace of mind. Here are some of those amenities listed below.
Automatic Emergency Braking with Pedestrian Detection
As you're driving to work or running errands around town, Automatic Emergency Braking will scan the area ahead. If you're a bit too close to a vehicle in front of you, it will warn you to slow down via audible alerts and dashboard lights.
If you don't hit the brakes quickly enough, the system will activate emergency braking to help you avoid or reduce the impact. With Pedestrian Detection, the system can spot and warn you of pedestrians that suddenly walk into your path when driving at low speeds.
Blind Spot Detection with Rear Cross-traffic Alert
Changing lanes isn't always easy, but Blind Spot Detection with Rear Cross-traffic Alert can make things easier and safer. It uses sensors located in the rear bumper to identify any vehicles traveling in your side blind spots and lets you know of their presence with audio warnings and visual alerts. It can also warn you when there's a car coming from either side as you're pulling out of the driveway or parking spot.
Lane Departure Warning with Lane Change Assist
Lane Departure Warning keeps an eye on the lane markings on either side of the Elantra. When you get too close or drift over them without signaling, the system will activate warnings. In some situations, it will also apply corrective steering to keep you centered in the appropriate lane.
Rearview Camera with Dynamic Guidelines
Rearview cameras are included for just about every vehicle on the market, but the one in the 2017 Hyundai Elantra takes things to a more advanced level. With Dynamic Guidelines, you'll be able to see how close you are to any vehicles or objects around your car. That way you can steer clear from them and any risk of a minor accident.
On top of that, the Guidelines move to match the steering angle so you can pull out or into a spot perfectly on the first try.
Electronic Stability Control
Safety features in the Elantra aren't all driver-assist technologies. This vehicle also includes amenities that are specially designed to keep it steady like Electronic Stability Control. Electronic Stability Control adjusts the engine, steering, and braking system to ensure a controlled performance when cornering.
It also works with Traction Control and the Anti-lock Braking System to prevent wheel spin on slippery and wet roads.
