Kia DriveWise Standard and Available Safety Features

Kia DriveWise is Kia's automatic driving and parking assistance technology that introduces intelligent safety innovations to eliminate many dangers and stresses when you’re driving. Kia DriveWise is packed with safety features that include:

• Highway Driving Assist – Your vehicle will maintain a safe distance and speed from the vehicle detected in front of it.
• Rear Cross-Traffic Collision-Avoidance Assist (RCCA) — This feature uses sensors located on the rear of the vehicle to detect cross traffic when reversing from parking spots or driveways. The RCCA will also alert the driver if a car or pedestrian is detected and automatically apply the brakes to avoid a collision.
• Surround View Monitor — Sensors and cameras on the vehicle's front, rear, and sides help provide a bird's-eye view of its surroundings when parked.
• Blind-Spot View Monitor — This feature, activated when the turn signal is enabled, is visible on the digital cluster and helps the driver see traffic traveling in the blind spots. It also ensures no traffic is present before a lane change is initiated.
• Blind-Spot Collision-Avoidance Assist and Warning – If a vehicle is detected in your blind spot, this feature will alert you using visual cues in your side-view mirror and automatically assist with braking and steering to prevent a potentially dangerous lane change.
• Auto Emergency Braking Technology — The vehicle will use sensors and radars to detect a potential forward collision with a cyclist, vehicle, or pedestrian and apply the emergency brakes to prevent or reduce the impact of a collision.
• Parking Collision Avoidance Assist Reverse — This feature helps monitor the vehicle’s surroundings when reversing, alert the driver of a potential collision using visual and audible cues, and apply the brakes automatically.
• Safe Exit Warning — Before you exit, your vehicle will check for approaching vehicles. If one is detected, an alert will sound, and on specific models, it will prevent you from exiting by locking the doors.
• Remote Smart Parking Assist — When necessary, your vehicle can navigate tight parking spaces using the smart key fob.
• Smart Cruise Control With Stop and Go – Your vehicle will maintain a preset speed and following distance and stop and go depending on traffic conditions.
