City Driving
Navigating through the city can be challenging due to the overcrowding of both vehicles and pedestrians on the roads. However, Kia Drive Wise’s safety technology works to help you have a safe and relaxing trip through town. Auto Emergency Braking includes forward collision warning and forward collision-avoidance assist technologies to detect pedestrians and cyclists via a front-mounted camera or radar. This feature also has junction-turning technology to help you avoid potential collisions on your turns. This driver safety tech also includes blind-spot warnings to ensure you better understand your surroundings. These detect objects in your blind spot, notifying you visually or audibly that there’s something there. If you begin to turn into a lane and your vehicle detects an object, it will work to keep you in your current lane. The Blind-Spot View Monitor provides a live view of the adjacent lane on your view monitor when you activate your turn signal.
Highway Driving
Kia Drive Wise works to protect you on the highway by implementing features that provide an easier and safer way to drive. Smart cruise control lets you choose your following distance with a button and can automatically stop and start again after three seconds. Highway driving works on specific federal highways to help you keep a comfortable speed and distance by matching the posted speed limits.
Parking
When squeezing into a tight parking spot, the surround view monitor uses a 360° birds-eye view of your surroundings. However, if the parking spot is too tight, you can use the Remote Smart Parking assist to reverse the vehicle or move forward into the spot. When exiting your car, the safe exit warning uses an audible notification if it detects a vehicle approaching; some models even lock the rear doors until they’re safe to open.
Backing Up
Reversing out of parking spots can be challenging, but luckily, Kia Safety Technology is here to help! The Reverse Parking Collision-Avoidance Assist notifies you visually and audibly of objects behind you, and it will apply the brakes automatically if you get too close to the detected object. This helps prevent potential collisions and ensures optimal safety.
Kia Drive Wise offers a wide range of features to help keep you safe in town, on the highway, or even in a crowded parking lot. These technologies give you a more complete understanding of your surroundings and provide a safer drive for everyone.
