What is Genesis Highway Driving Assist?
Highway Driving Assist (HDA) is a Genesis driver assistance feature for highway use. Genesis says it can help reduce fatigue on long drives by maintaining a set distance and speed from the vehicle ahead, can react to vehicles that cut in at low speeds such as in bumper-to-bumper traffic, and helps center the vehicle in the lane, even through curves. Genesis model pages describe Highway Driving Assist 2 (HDA 2). The driver remains responsible for slowing or stopping the vehicle to avoid a collision and for keeping their hands on the wheel.

- Do not use it in poor weather, in heavy or varying traffic, or on winding or slippery roads.
- It will not work under all circumstances and will not prevent loss of control.
