Kia Sorento: Evasive Steering Assist function: (if equipped)

The Evasive Steering Assist function integrated into the Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist architecture on your Kia Sorento is Emergency Steering.

Emergency Steering (Driver steering assist)

(A) Emergency Steering

Emergency Steering can alert you with Emergency steering warning light blinking (), a warning message, an audible warning, and steering wheel vibration.

If there is a risk of a collision with another vehicle or a pedestrian, cyclist, or motorcyclist ahead of your vehicle, Emergency Steering can assist you in steering to help prevent a collision.

Emergency steering will be activated in following conditions.

Your driving speed: Approximately 25-53 mph (40-85 km/h)

Emergency Steering (Evasive steering assist)

(A) Emergency Steering

Emergency Steering can alert you with Emergency steering warning light blinking (), a warning message, an audible warning, and steering wheel vibration.

If there is a risk of a collision with a pedestrian, cyclist, or motorcyclist ahead of your vehicle and you have already exceeded the Emergency Braking speed limit, Emergency Steering can activate to help you avoid a collision.

Emergency Steering can activate when your driving speed is approximately 40-47 mph (65-75 km/h).

CAUTION

• When Emergency Steering is operating, the steering wheel may turn automatically.

• Emergency Steering automatically ends when risk factors disappear. Adjust the steering wheel as needed.

• Emergency Steering may deactivate during operation if the steering wheel is held tightly or steered in the opposite direction.

• When steering is assisted to avoid a collision with another vehicle, a pedestrian, or a cyclist, Evasive steering assist will deactivate if potential collisions are detected with other vehicles, motorcyclist, pedestrians, or cyclists.

• Evasive steering assist may not operate if there is insufficient space to avoid a collision.

• When driving at night, the performance of powered two-wheeler recognition is decreased, so the Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist system may be temporarily limited or may not work.

TIP

For more information about warning messages, refer to Collision Warning.

WARNING

• For your safety, change the settings only after parking the vehicle at a safe location.

• Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist does not operate in all situations and cannot avoid all collisions.

• You are responsible for controlling the vehicle. Do not depend on Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist. Maintain a safe braking distance and manually engage the brake pedal to reduce driving speed or stop the vehicle.

• Never deliberately drive toward people or objects to test Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist. It may cause serious injury or death.

• Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist may not operate if you manually break to avoid collision.

• Depending on the road and driving conditions, Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist may warn you late or not at all.

• During Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist operation, the vehicle may stop suddenly, which can cause loose objects to shift and possibly injure passengers. Always fasten seat belts and secure loose objects.

• Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist may not display a warning message or generate an audible warning if any other function’s warning message is displayed or any other function’s audible warning is generated at the same time.

• You may not hear the warning sound of Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist if you are in noisy surroundings.

• Depending on road conditions and surroundings, Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist may turn OFF or operate improperly or unnecessarily.

• Emergency Braking activated by Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist may end automatically if you brake hard or turn the steering wheel sharply.

CAUTION

• Your surroundings may affect the speed or detection range of Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist, and result in the function being temporarily limited or disabled.

• Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist takes into account the oncoming vehicle’s direction, speed, and surroundings to judge risk.

• Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist may not activate when driving at a high speed or when there is a significant difference in speed between your vehicle and oncoming vehicles.

• If the system determines that a collision with surrounding vehicles is likely, the Lane Change Oncoming, Lane Change Side, and Evasive Steering Assist functions will provide warnings only and not steering control.

TIP

• When a collision is imminent, Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist may activate brake assist if you do not brake enough to avoid the collision.

• The images or colors may display differently depending on the specifications of the instrument cluster or theme.
