Unexpectedly discovered a nice feature in my new Tuscon Hybrid Limited. While I was standing at the red light, car in front of me ( first one at the "Stop" sign) suddenly start slowly moving forward into intersection, even red light still was on. When that car was more than one car length ahead ( and red light was still on), my car produced a warning chime and a message on front digital display, stating "Leading car is moving out". This was just plain city driving, no smart assistance or anything else turned on...I guess, it was kind of "Hey, wake up, cars are moving, don't sit here" feature. Not a safety feature I would think ( unless, to prevent from a possible honking from the cars behind?). Just sharing and I Iike that Hyundai thought about such scenario...

Yep, this is an advertised feature, called Leading Vehicle Departure Alert.

Until that time you're the front car at a red light

The car also dings at you when the temperature gets low enough for frost/ice. That one is a bit annoying as it can come on randomly when driving. Fortunately, you can turn it off in the settings.

I live in South Florida. That feature is available in any car if someone is behind you at a light. all you have to do is wait a second and someone will honk at you.
