2024 Genesis Safety Technologies: What to Expect

Every Genesis includes advanced driver assistance systems that help make driving safer. They’re not a substitute for careful, safe driving, but they provide the equivalent of extra eyes and ears that can identify potential problems you may not yet have seen. As your Genesis dealer, we want to tell you about some of the standard and available Genesis safety features and how they protect you.

Genesis Safety Features: Protecting You on the Road

Rear Cross-Traffic Collision-Assistance Alert (RCCA)

This system immediately activates when you shift into reverse at 6 mph or less. It uses sensors to monitor the area to the left and right. If a vehicle is identified that will cross behind you, the system provides visual and audio alerts to warn of potential danger so you can take action. It will also apply hard braking, if necessary, to prevent a rear-end collision.

Blind Spot View Monitor

Blind spots are the areas behind you that are almost impossible to see into using your side and rear mirrors. This makes these areas potentially dangerous, as a vehicle can easily enter a blind spot and you won’t notice it until a collision is imminent. This system prevents that problem using side view cameras.

When you activate your turn signal, the side view camera on the relevant side activates and displays an unobstructed view of the area on your instrument gauge cluster. This enables you to see any approaching vehicles and take action to prevent an accident.

Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist

This system uses a forward-facing camera and radar to scan the area directly ahead for vehicles, cyclists, pedestrians, or animals. If anything is detected, the system computes the object’s distance and speed and then compares it to your vehicle’s speed to determine if there’s a risk of an accident.

If a collision is likely, a warning icon appears on your instrument cluster and you’ll hear a warning tone. This will alert you to the danger so you can brake or take evasive action to prevent an accident. If you don’t respond quickly enough, the system applies hard braking to prevent or reduce damage from an accident.

Safe Exit Assist

This system protects your passengers when you are stationary. When you stop, rear-facing sensors monitor the area behind you and to the sides. This allows your passengers to safely open the doors secure in the knowledge that the system will sound an alert if a vehicle or cyclist is approaching.

These are just some of the numerous systems that work to keep you safe. If you’d like to know more, contact us today at Genesis of Baton Rouge in Baton Rouge, LA.
