Safety
Road-trip with confidence and peace of mind with the extensive list of Hyundai SmartSense™ safety technologies offered with the Palisade. Among them are two available features designed to reduce your blind spot area. First is the confidence-inspiring Blind View Monitor that streams a live visual of your blind spot directly in the gauge cluster to provide you with added perspective. The second is our innovative Blind-Spot Collision-Avoidance Assist system that not only uses radar to detect when a vehicle is in the driver's blind spot, but will also help avoid a collision by gently applying brake power on the opposite tire to deter an unsafe lane change.
The SUPERSTRUCTURE™
The Palisade features an ultra-rigid vehicle chassis at its core, which we call the SUPERSTRUCTURE™. Built with our very own Advanced High-Strength Steel, it’s designed to be stronger, stiffer and lighter than conventional steel, which provides greater benefits in safety, ride comfort and fuel economy. In the event of a collision, the SUPERSTRUCTURE™ helps protect occupants inside the cabin by absorbing harmful energy and redirecting it away from the passenger compartment.
Rear Occupant Alert with ultrasonic sensors
The innovative, available Rear Occupant Alert system monitors the rear seats with ultrasonic sensors to detect movement and will alert the driver if something is detected. Level one occurs with a pop-up message within the driver gauge cluster to remind the driver to check the rear seats once the vehicle is turned off. Level two: after the car is parked and locked, the ultrasonic sensors will monitor the rear seats and if movement is detected, the system will sound the horn and flash the lights. When the vehicle Is equipped with an active BlueLink® subscription, the system will also send a text to the driver’s smartphone to notify them of rear seat movement.
Driver Attention Warning
Designed to detect the onset of driver fatigue, this standard system will monitor driver input and issue a visual and audible alert if fatigue is sensed, suggesting a break.
Adaptive Cruise Control with traffic stop and go
Take basic cruise control to the next level of convenience. Set your pre-determined speed and distance to the vehicle ahead, and this standard system will automatically adjust the vehicle speed to maintain the set distance. The system will even operate in stop-and-go traffic, bringing the vehicle to a complete stop when necessary and then resuming automatically.
High Beam Assist
Using the front-mounted camera and light detection technology, standard High Beam Assist technology provides an extra level of convenience by automatically switching between high beam and low beam when traffic is detected ahead.
Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist with Pedestrian Detection
This standard safety feature is designed to detect a vehicle or pedestrian and warn the driver of a potential frontal collision. If the driver does not react to avoid impact, the system will apply emergency braking.
Lane Departure Warning with Lane Keeping Assist
Start drifting outside of your lane without signalling and this standard system is designed to inform you with haptic, audible and visual cues. Lane Keeping Assist will provide further feedback and help steer you back within your lane markings if no action is taken.
Safe Exit Assist
Available Safe Exit Assist helps prevent accidents by temporarily locking the rear doors when detecting a vehicle approaching from behind, so that rear passengers can only exit the car when it is safe to do so. This technology continues to monitor for up to 10 minutes after the ignition is turned off.
Blind-Spot Collision-Avoidance Assist
Available Blind-Spot Collision-Avoidance Assist not only uses radar to detect when a vehicle is in the driver’s blind spot, but will also help avoid a collision by gently applying brake power on the opposite tire to deter an unsafe lane change.
Rear Cross-Traffic Collision-Avoidance Assist
When reversing out of areas with low visibility, available Rear Cross-Traffic Collision-Avoidance Assist not only warns the driver if vehicles approach from the side – it can also apply the brakes automatically if no action is taken.
The standard reverse Parking Distance Warning feature uses sensors embedded into the rear bumper make reverse parking easier by producing a warning sound for the driver if the rear of the vehicle gets too close to any object. As the vehicle approaches closer to the object, the warning sound will increase in frequency. Front Parking Distance Warning is also available.
