Winter Driving Tips: How Hyundai Vehicles Keep You Safe

Winter can bring tough driving conditions like snow, ice, and freezing rain. At Chris Crain Hyundai, we want to help you feel safe and confident when you’re on the road this season. Hyundai vehicles come packed with features to handle winter weather, including HTRAC All-Wheel Drive and Hyundai SmartSense. Here are some tips to help you stay safe and how Hyundai makes driving in winter easier.

1. Count on HTRAC All-Wheel Drive for Better Grip

Slippery roads can make winter driving tricky, but Hyundai’s HTRAC All-Wheel Drive system is here to help. Found in models like the 2025 Hyundai Santa Fe, 2025 Hyundai Tucson, and 2025 Hyundai Palisade, HTRAC improves traction by sending power to the wheels that need it most. HTRAC can make a big difference in staying safe this winter.

2. Rely on Hyundai SmartSense Safety Features

Hyundai SmartSense is a collection of safety features that protect you and your family while driving. These systems are especially helpful in winter when the roads can be slippery, and visibility is reduced.

Here are some SmartSense features that stand out:

• Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist: Helps you avoid accidents by braking if it senses a vehicle or obstacle ahead.
• Lane Keeping Assist: Keeps your car centered in your lane, even on slippery roads.
• Blind-Spot Collision-Avoidance Assist: Warns you about cars in your blind spot and can help prevent a collision.
• Rear Cross-Traffic Collision-Avoidance Assist: Alerts you to traffic behind you when backing up, perfect for snowy parking lots.
• Highway Driving Assist: Uses Adaptive Cruise Control and Lane Assist to help you stay safe on highways, even in bad weather.

Hyundai SmartSense gives you peace of mind by helping you handle winter’s challenges safely.

3. Get Your Hyundai Ready for Winter

Before heading out in winter weather, take a few steps to prepare your car:

• Check Your Tires: Make sure they have good tread and are properly inflated. Snow tires can give you even better grip.
• Top Off Fluids: Use winter washer fluid and check that your coolant can handle freezing temps.
• Test Your Battery: Cold weather can weaken your car battery, so make sure it’s in good shape.
• Pack an Emergency Kit: Include blankets, a flashlight, snacks, and a snow brush in case of unexpected delays.
