The All-New Santa Fe has a range of safety features
Here are nine hi-tech features to take note of in the All-New Santa Fe.
HUD technology uses augmented reality to relay information on a transparent display within the driver’s eye line so that they don’t need to avert their eyes from the road. In the All-New Santa Fe, data will be displayed directly on the windshield.
HTRAC is derived from the words Hyundai and Traction and is based on AWD or All-Wheel Drive technology. It actively adjusts the driving power distribution to all four wheels to achieve optimal balance on any kind of road conditions, including wet surfaces, bumpy or curvy roads.
If your child tries to open the rear door, when in risk of an accident, the door remains child locked with a warning alert relayed. Safe Exit Assist temporarily keeps the rear doors locked if a vehicle is detected approaching from behind. The All-New Santa Fe even includes a Rear Occupant Alert which will sound the alarm and flash the lights if your little friends have managed to hide in the back.

4. Tailgate guideline
With an alert, the All-New Santa Fe will let you know if the rear of your car is too close to the wall stopping you from opening the boot. It’s the little things that help, like when your hands are full of shopping.
5. Remote Window Control
How many times have you gotten out of your car only to remember you’ve left the window open, especially when the heavens have opened? With the All-New Santa Fe, after you leave the vehicle, windows can be closed remotely by pressing the remote key lock button for just over three seconds.
6. RCCA - Rear Cross-Traffic Collision-Avoidance Assist
The system sounds a warning in case of the risk of a rear collision from crossing vehicles while reversing and automatically brakes. Similarly, Forward Collision Avoidance Assist uses radar technology to detect the distance to the car in front and brakes automatically to avoid a collision.
7. Advanced Smart Cruise Control
With ASCC, the driver can maintain a constant, pre-set distance behind the car in front of them. The All-New Santa Fe uses sensors and a forward-facing camera to follow the vehicles ahead, and if they slow, it will automatically brake or even come to a complete stop, thanks to Stop & Go.

8. Front Car Departure Alert
If you’re briefly distracted and take your eyes off the road while in traffic, the All-New Santa Fe will signal an alert if the car in front pulls away from an intersection.
9. Driver Attention Warning
DAW in the All-New Santa Fe is a driver protection feature which helps monitor driving patterns to detect reckless or fatigued driving and prevent potential accidents. The system analyses behaviours like steering angle and the car's positioning and will issue an audio sound and message on the display panel to grab the driver’s attention.
