Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist with Pedestrian, Cyclist & Car Detection warns or assists with braking if the preceding vehicle suddenly slows down or if the risk of collision with a vehicle or a pedestrian is detected.
This system monitors the position of your vehicle within its lane and helps warn you if it deviates, or is about to deviate, from the lane. Under certain conditions, the system can help warn you of a lane departure when your vehicle is traveling above a certain speed and the vehicle's turn signal is not activated.
Lane Keeping Assist is a Driving Safety function that helps to prevent the vehicle from departing the lane while driving. The system warns if a lane departure is detected without a turn signal switch operation and automatically assists steering to prevent the vehicle from departing the lane only if a lane departure is detected without a turn signal switch operation.
Lane Following Assist is a Driving Convenience function that helps center the vehicle in the lane while driving. The front view camera recognizes lanes to help with steering. If the lane is not recognized, the function recognizes the vehicle ahead and helps with steering for a certain period of time. The driver should always hold the steering wheel and look forward.
Driver Attention Warning is a Driving Safety function that analyzes the driver's attention level and provides a warning while driving. The driver's attention level is calculated between 0 and 5 levels. When the level of attention becomes level 0, a break is recommended. The system provides an alert to the driver when the leading vehicle departs during a stop.
Upon exiting the vehicle, the vehicle can provide audible and visual warnings if unattended passengers remain in the rear seating area.
Furthermore, if enrolled in Kia Connect, the push notification will be sent to the registered account holder upon triggering of audible warning.

The first line of defense in safety are the seat belts. Front and rear 3-point seat belts are an integral part of an elaborate vehicle-wide safety system designed to help minimize the effects of an accident.
In the event of certain collisions, seat-belt pretensioners are designed to tighten the seat belts pulling the driver and occupants more snugly into their seats in anticipation of an impact to help to reduce the likelihood of injury.
The proper fitting of seat belts are critical to overall safety and comfort. The height-adjustable seat-belt anchors allow for seat-belts to be raised and lowered to achieve the perfect fit.
The foundation of your Kia's active safety system, the Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS) uses electronic sensors at each wheel hub to detect when wheels begin skid. If skidding under braking is detected, ABS modulates brake force to reduce skidding which in turn allows for reduced braking distances in addition to helping you maintain control of your vehicle.
Vehicle Stability Management (VSM) adds steering direction control capability, intervening when appropriate to further stabilize the vehicle. It helps you regain control and return the vehicle to its intended path.
Electronic Stability Control offers an enhanced level of vehicle control and peace of mind by offering improved directional stability helping you maintain the vehicle's intended direction of travel.
