The Advantages of Kia’s Advanced Safety Systems for Your Family’s Protection

Owners of new Kia vehicles drive with peace of mind, knowing that every Kia now offers numerous standard and available Drive Wise technologies. These Kia safety features include systems to help you avoid a collision, keep you in your lane, and even park your Kia by pressing a button on your key fob. When you visit your local Kia dealer for a test drive, you can experience several of these technologies in action.

Kia Safety Features for City and Highway Driving

Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist is an important Drive Wise feature that uses a camera or radar sensors to detect vehicles, pedestrians, or cyclists in the path ahead. If the system determines there’s an increased risk of collision, it issues a warning. And if the driver doesn’t respond, the system can apply the brakes automatically.

To ensure that you only change lanes when you intend to, Lane Departure Warning and Lane Keeping Assist monitor lane markings on the road, then alert you if you’re about to drift from your lane. If you don’t adjust your steering yourself, the system can steer you back into your lane. Several blind-spot detection technologies can also detect vehicles in adjacent lanes.

Driver Assistance for Parking and Backing Up

Safe Exit Warning makes parking and exiting safer by warning you if it detects another vehicle approaching from behind after you’ve parked. On some models, this system can also lock the rear doors so your passengers can’t exit into oncoming traffic. And Rear Occupant Alert can detect passengers in the rear seats and alert you if anyone’s been left behind after you’ve exited.

When you’re backing out of a parking space, Rear Cross-Traffic Collision-Avoidance Assist uses sensors in the rear bumper to detect vehicles approaching from either side behind you. This system issues a warning, and if necessary, applies the brakes automatically. For the ultimate in parking assistance, some Kia models offer Remote Smart Parking Assist. With this technology, you can exit your vehicle then press a button on your key fob and watch as your Kia parks itself.
