6 Car Safety Features You'll Find on Today's Genesis Vehicles

Not only are modern Genesis vehicles graceful masterpieces of automobile engineering, but they're also extremely sturdily built and safe to drive. If you visit your nearest Genesis dealership, you can get behind the wheel of your desired Genesis model and see the many advanced car safety features first-hand. In the meantime, here are six excellent examples.

6 Car Safety Features You'll Find on Today's Genesis Vehicles

High-Strength Steel Frame

The bodies of Genesis vehicles are forged with around fifty percent advanced high-strength steel. The extreme rigidity this protective framework provides protects you and your passengers from potential impacts. Special crumple areas are deliberately weaker in order to divert the force of a potential crash away from the cabin and those inside. 

Automatic Emergency Braking 

With sophisticated radar and camera technology, your Genesis detects stopped or slowing vehicles ahead and activates automatic braking for you. It applies the brakes carefully, so as to mitigate the risk of collision safely while maintaining control. The system can also detect and respond to pedestrians who wander into the road ahead. 

Driver Attention Alert

As you drive, your Genesis learns your regular patterns of driving, vehicle positioning, and attention. With this data, it can then detect when you're showing signs of fatigue or distraction. With a chime and visual alert, your car can then warn you of this risk and prompt you to take a break to rest and recharge your energy. 

Blind Spot Detection

Your Genesis monitors your blind spots at all times and provides a lighted symbol on your side view mirror whenever there's a vehicle in your blind spot. If you indicate to change lanes while an object is in your blind spot, you'll receive an additional audio and visual warning.

Lane Keep Assist

If you ever start to wander toward another lane without indicating, your Genesis notices and alerts you. It even provides some gentle corrective steering to bring you safely back into the center of your lane. If this kind of lane drifting happens repeatedly, it might be a sign of fatigue, which your car will warn you of. 

Smart Cruise Control

One excellent way to ward off fatigue on longer journeys is to utilize the Smart Cruise Control feature. On certain stretches of highway, this allows your car to monitor the distance from the car ahead and take over the gas, brakes, and steering to drive for you. 

It can even automatically slow to a halt and start up again in traffic. Smart Cruise Control allows you to take your hands off the wheel and relax a little while your car takes the wheel.

3 Electrical Problems You Should Always Fix at Your Genesis Dealer

​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​Electrical problems can be a headache for any driver, as they frequently appear to be caused by other car issues. They will get worse if they're not repaired, and this will cause further problems for your Genesis. Fortunately, your Genesis dealership in Waipahu, HI, can fix them for you. These are some of the issues we can repair. 3 Electrical Problems You Should Always Fix at Your Genesis Dealership Burnt Out Fuses more Fuses in your car are just as important as the fuses in your home. Each of your car's electrical systems has a fuse connected to it. The fuse protects the system against damage from rogue electrical charges or shorts. If a short circuit occurs, the fuse will absorb the electrical charge and blow out. Its sacrifice protects the electrical system, but it shuts the affected system down until the burnt-out fuse is replaced. If you frequently experience blown fuses, this points to a problem with the fuse box. This could be caused by worn wiring, overloading your car's accessories, or if your fuses are old. Our technicians will examine the fuses and fuse box to determine the cause of the problem. We can replace any blown fuses, and all your electrical systems will be back online again. Worn Alternator The alternator's job is to produce electricity for your car's systems. It starts working as soon as your engine is running and continues to work until your engine is switched off. The alternator is also responsible for recharging your car's battery. On average, your alternator will work for at least eight years before it needs replacement. It can, however, be damaged by other problems in your car, like a damaged battery. If you have sworn or damaged the alternator, it will produce less electricity than it previously did. The reduced electricity supply will become a problem when the alternator can't produce enough power for all your system demands. A power deficit will cause electrical glitches, dim lights, and other electrical issues. We can test your alternator and replace it if it's failing. Damaged Spark Plugs The spark plug's job is to ignite the compressed fuel-air mixture in the engine cylinders. A spark plug is screwed into the top of each cylinder, and it will spark to ignite the contents in its cylinder at a precise moment. When this happens, a controlled explosion occurs in the cylinder, which generates energy. Spark plugs will wear out, and your car manual details when they should be replaced. The plugs can also become damaged by a fuel-rich engine or the failure of their connected ignition coil. Spark plug problems will cause misfiring or stalling. If they are seriously damaged, your engine won't run. We will examine each of your plugs and replace any damaged ones. Don't let problems in the electrical system stop you from enjoying your Genesis.
