April is Distracted Driving Awareness Month, and the team at Genesis Santa Monica wants to highlight the Genesis safety features designed to help you stay focused, alert, and protected behind the wheel. Every new Genesis model comes equipped with a layered approach to driver awareness that anticipates hazards before they become incidents. Here are some of the highlights.

Two Systems That Monitor Your Attention

New Genesis vehicles take a dual approach to detecting distraction. Driver Attention Warning™ continuously monitors your steering behavior and driving patterns, alerting you when it detects signs of fatigue or decreased focus. Forward Attention Warning adds an in-cabin camera that tracks your eye position and head movement. If this feature senses you're looking away from the road at a critical moment, it delivers a visual and audible alert to bring your focus back.

Collision Prevention That Acts When You Can't

Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist™ uses radar and camera sensors to detect vehicles, pedestrians, and cyclists ahead. If a potential collision is identified and you don't react, the system can apply the brakes automatically. Blind-Spot Collision-Avoidance Assist™ watches adjacent lanes and can provide light braking intervention if you attempt an unsafe lane change.

Technology That Reduces Distraction by Design

Voice command capability through Genesis Intelligent Assistant® lets you control navigation, climate, and phone functions without taking your hands off the wheel. The available head-up display projects speed, navigation, and safety alerts directly into your line of sight, keeping essential information where your eyes already are.
