The Hyundai vehicles of today are safer to drive than ever before. When driving on the highway, navigating busy downtown traffic, or edging your way out of a tight parking spot, a collection of sophisticated risk detection and prevention systems is always looking out for you. Here are five of the best car safety features in modern Hyundai cars. To see any of them in action, just ask for a demo at your local Hyundai dealership. more Driver Attention Warning Your Hyundai is clever enough to monitor your driving patterns and notice if you're showing signs of fatigue. Little mistakes like repeatedly wandering toward a neighboring lane tip the system off. Your car will then give you a sound cue and warning message to let you know you should probably stop for a rest or some coffee. High Beam Assist After dark, it can be a hassle to remember to switch your high-beam headlights off whenever another vehicle is approaching. But it's dangerous to forget this small but essential safety procedure. Fortunately, modern Hyundais take over this task on your behalf, detecting oncoming cars and momentarily lowering your high beams each time. Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist Collision threats can appear out of the blue in front of your car. When driving a modern Hyundai, your car augments your reaction time by detecting sudden threats and giving you a clear warning. If you don't react in time, your car will even apply the brakes for you. Blind-Spot Collision-Avoidance Assist The blind spots to the rear and either side of a car used to be the source of many collision risks. In a modern Hyundai, you always know if a vehicle of any size is in one of your blind spots because your car displays a live video feed of your blind spots on your dashboard screen. If you ever indicate to change lanes or turn when something is in a blind spot, your car will alert you of the danger. It may even apply the brakes as required to avoid a potential collision. Lane Keeping Assist In moments of distraction, it's possible for a driver to inadvertently drift into a neighboring lane. Your Hyundai helps prevent this common collision risk by noticing as soon as you veer away from the center of your lane and warning you with clear visual and audio cues. It can even apply a little gentle steering assistance to get you back into the center of your lane. Test Drive a Super-Safe Hyundai at Your Hyundai Dealer It's a good idea to get behind the wheel of a Hyundai and see these safety features, and many more, in action for yourself. You're likely to be impressed by how safe and secure they help make your driving.

Unlike most pickup trucks, the Hyundai Santa Cruz is uses a unibody construction that makes it lighter, more efficient, and easier to handle. Combining that with its more compact size and plush interior makes it the ideal truck for navigating around the city. Read on to learn more about why the 2023 model has auto shoppers flocking to Hyundai dealerships across the nation! more Drivetrain The Santa Cruz's standard powerplant is a naturally aspirated 2.5L inline-4 making 191 horsepower and 181 lb-ft of torque. If you're in need of more power, you'll want to opt for the turbocharged version of the engine, which boosts performance to 281 horsepower and 311 lb-ft of torque. It also achieves excellent fuel economy—up to an EPA-rated 27 MPG highway. While non-turbo models pair their engines with an 8-speed automatic transmission featuring a Shiftronic manual mode, those with a turbocharged motor come with an 8-speed wet dual-clutch transmission and steering wheel-mounted paddle shifters for quicker, sportier gearshifts. The available Hyundai TRACtion (HTRAC) all-wheel drive system automatically adds braking force to the wheels and varies traction between both axles for optimal grip. Towing & Hauling Capability Over 1,400 pounds of payload can be carried by the Santa Cruz, and turbocharged models are capable of towing up to 5,000 pounds. Despite the truck's smaller size, it provides an impressive number of ways to transport cargo with a lockable in-bed storage compartment, a compartment on each side of the bed, and an extra-sturdy tailgate with a remote release feature. The available Activity Package adds roof rails, an integrated tonneau cover and utility tracks with cleats for securing a variety of large items. Passenger Cabin Inside the Santa Cruz is an airy, inviting cabin that can comfortably seat up to five with its 101.8 cubic feet of passenger volume. The interior boasts an ultra-modern design and a generous amount of high-quality materials, including premium cloth that's resistant to stains and odors or genuine leather trim. Many trims feature heated seats, an 8-way power driver seat with lumbar support, wireless charging, and a power sunroof as standard equipment. Infotainment System An 8-inch or available 10.25-inch infotainment touchscreen offers smartphone integration through Apple CarPlay or Android Auto, HD Radio, and Bluetooth hands-free calls and audio streaming. The infotainment system on SEL Premium and Limited trims also come with onboard navigation and voice command recognition. Available Bluelink technology allows you to lock and unlock the doors, turn on the climate system, and start the engine with your smartphone. There's no denying that the Santa Cruz is one of the most stylish compact pickups on the market, but it further sets itself apart from the others with its terrific performance and long list of great features.

An Intelligent Variable Transmission compliments the engine, with both the SEL and Limited having a Drive Mode Select function included, allowing the driver to pick sport or snow settings in addition to the standard mode, and all the models come with front-wheel drive. If you find having to stop too often for gas annoying, the Venue has you covered. With normal driving, you can get up to 29 mpg for driving around the city and 33 mpg when on the highway. Coupled with an 11.9-gallon tank, you have a total driving range of between 345 and 392 miles on a full tank. Technology Features A whole host of technology comes with the Venue, much of it to assist the driver and improve safety. Depending on the model, various features of the Hyundai Smart Suite are included, among them, Driver Attention Warning to help protect against concentration lapses and Blind Spot Collision Warning, available on the SEL and Limited.

Electrical problems are most likely to occur in cars that aren't regularly serviced. These problems can vary from being a minor nuisance to a major problem, depending on the affected components. As your Hyundai dealer, we'd like you to know more about some of the electrical issues we can fix. more Damaged Spark Plugs Spark plugs provide the spark that ignites the fuel-air mixture in the engine cylinders. Damaged spark plugs won't ignite the fuel-air mixture correctly, and this will produce a misfire. If more than one spark plug is damaged, your engine could stall. The plugs wear out due to age, and they're replaced regularly according to your car's service schedule. Plugs can also fail due to damage to other engine components or poor engine conditions. A fuel-rich engine, for example, contains more fuel than air. This heady mixture makes it difficult for the plugs to ignite successfully. In addition, this environment will coat the plugs in sticky black carbon. A carbon coating makes ignition even more difficult and reduces the lifespan of the plug. We can easily examine the plugs and replace any damaged ones. Failing Alternator The alternator is the most important part of your car's electrical system, as it produces the power all your car's systems and devices depend on. The average life of an alternator is approximately eight years and then it will need to be replaced. An alternator's lifespan can be reduced by problems like a dying battery, which can easily kill a healthy alternator. If your alternator is failing, random electrical glitches will appear like windows that refuse to open or a radio that won't switch on. Dim then bright lights and starting difficulties can also appear as the reduced electricity supply affects other engine components. If you're experiencing any of these issues, our technicians will check your alternator and install a new one if necessary. Worn Sensors Modern cars have a network of sensors, and these sensors are attached to every vital system in your car. The sensors connect directly to your car's computer, and they continuously relay information on the health and status of their connected system. The computer uses this information to make countless decisions that enable your Hyundai to drive easily, efficiently, and safely. Sensors can fail, and a failed sensor won't transmit information to your computer. The lack of information can lead to errors on your computer, and these errors could result in additional damage to your car or its systems. We can trace damaged sensors by connecting your car's computer to our diagnostic system. Once we pinpoint the worn sensor, we can fit a replacement. We can easily and efficiently fix any problem with your car's electrical system. Call our service department today at Mike Kelly Hyundai. Image via Pixabay

We can all agree that Hyundai (HYU) goes all in with its design, safety, and affordability, making it one of the top choices for vehicle buyers. But how do you decide between a new and a used car in the lineup? Let's look at some things you must consider when shopping for a car in Butler, PA. more Consider Your Budget Your buying power is often the most significant factor when shopping for a car. A new vehicle costs significantly more than a used one, so you'll need to choose an option you can afford. However, many dealerships offer financing options and incentive programs that may help you afford your dream car. Ideally, you want the dealership to pre-approve you for an auto loan. That's how you make an informed decision and get a better offer from the dealer. Think About the Purpose of Your New Car Let's say you have a family of four and need an affordable vehicle with enough space for everyone plus a little more for cargo. A used SUV may be the more sensible choice here, as it should have enough room and still be within your budget. But it is important to note that finding a well-maintained SUV in the used car market is not the easiest thing to do, unless you buy a certified pre-owned vehicle. If you are buying your child their first car, a new model may be a better option because of its safety features. HYU is known for its advanced safety technology, so you can trust its latest models to keep your loved one safe on the road. Research the Resale Value of Your Car in Butler, PA Generally speaking, new cars will depreciate harder in the first few years than used ones. That makes a used HYU a great option if you're looking for something that will hold its value over time. New car buyers can trade in their vehicles after the first year at an estimated 20% depreciation, but this figure jumps to 30% or 40% by the fifth year. Warranties Can Make a Difference HYU offers great warranties on all their cars, but they only apply to new and certified pre-owned vehicles. This offer covers the cost of repairs for a predetermined period, depending on the model and year. If you're worried about costly repairs down the line, buying a new or certified pre-owned HYU is the best option. Overall, it is important to note that your budget and needs will determine whether you should buy a new or used HYU. A new car might be your best option if you want all the bells and whistles, while a used car can save you money in the long run. Whatever your choice, visit Mike Kelly Hyundai today, and let us help you make your dreams come true. Image via Pixabay

Your Hyundai has a great engine that's powerful yet fuel-efficient at the same time. This engine requires regular services to enable it to work at its best. Components gradually wear out or suffer damage, and this can lead to engine problems. Fortunately, in Butler, PA, your Hyundai dealer is here to repair them for you. These are a few of the many issues we can fix when necessary. more Failing Alternator A failing alternator will lead to serious problems for your car. The alternator is responsible for generating electricity for your car's systems, devices, and peripherals. This means any alternator problem can result in further problems for every system in your car. Fortunately, an alternator will rarely simply fail. There are always warning signs that something is going wrong. Frequent electrical anomalies, starting problems, and strange noises are just a few of the signs that an alternator is wearing out. The battery warning light will also illuminate to signal problems in the electrical system as the supply of electricity gradually diminishes. Our technicians can test your alternator and replace it if it's the cause of the problems. Clogged Radiator The radiator is part of your cooling system responsible for removing heat from the engine. Heat radiating from the engine components is absorbed by coolant that's pumped through the engine. The coolant transports the heat to the radiator, where the heat is rapidly removed by heat exchange. The coolant can also absorb dirt and other debris in the engine, and this is also brought into the radiator. Once the heat is removed, the coolant flows out of the radiator but it leaves behind the debris it collected. Debris will accumulate and can eventually block the tubes, hoses, and other parts of the radiator. A blocked radiator reduces the amount of coolant that can be cooled, which increases your engine temperature. We can fix this problem by flushing the radiator to remove any blockages. Thick Exhaust Smoke Under normal circumstances, exhaust smoke is thin and whispy. If your exhaust starts to produce thick white smoke, these clouds are a warning that water has entered the exhaust system. Coolant, responsible for removing heat from your engine, is the usual source of the water as it's composed of a 50.50 mix of water and antifreeze. The upper and lower sections of your engine have a thick seal called the head gasket. The head gasket prevents fluids the movement of fluid and pressure between the two engine sections. A damaged head gasket can allow coolant to cross the barrier and enter the exhaust. We'll examine the gasket and replace it if it's damaged. Problem with an engine only get worse over time.
