Whether you’re parking, reversing, cruising on the highway, or navigating busy city traffic, your Kia has state-of-the-art car safety features helping you avoid accidents. Here are five of the best safety and driver assist features you’ll find in a modern Kia. If you’d like to see more, ask for a demo at your nearest Kia dealership.
Auto Emergency Braking
Not only does your Kia monitor the road head and help you avoid potential collisions with automatic braking, but it can even detect hazards when you’re turning left. The system uses forward-facing cameras or radar to detect cars, motorcyclists, cyclists, and even pedestrians wandering across your path.
If a hazard is detected, first, you’re provided a clear warning signal. And if you’re slow to respond, your car brakes for you to avoid a collision, or at least reduce its severity.
Blind Spot Collision Avoidance
During rush hour, both crowded urban streets and highways can become rather hectic. These busy moments are when drivers are most at risk of changing lanes without noticing a vehicle in their blind spot.
Your Kia continually monitors your blind spots on either side. If there’s ever something in your blind spot when you intend to change lanes, it warns you clearly and can even help you return safely to the center of your lane.
Smart Cruise Control
The dangers of driver fatigue are reduced in a modern Kia by Smart Cruise Control, which can take over essential driving functions for you, allowing you to relax and watch the road. By controlling the steering, braking, and acceleration, your car maintains a predetermined distance from the vehicle ahead. It can even come to a complete stop in heavy traffic and start up again within three seconds of stopping.
Smart Remote Park Assist
If you get a little nervous when it comes to tight parking spots, your Kia can handle it for you. You can sit inside or stand outside your car and tell it to park itself using a command on your key fob. Your car will carefully and accurately control steering, braking, and gas to safely park without any mishap.
Safe Exit Warning
When you park on the roadside, there’s always a hazard when anyone opens the car door into the road. With Safe Exist Warning, your Kia will audibly warn you if either you or a passenger behind you attempts to open the door when another vehicle is approaching. On certain models, you can even have the rear doors remain locked until it’s safe to exit.
