Blind-Spot Safety: Blind-Spot Collision-Avoidance Assist warns you and assists with braking depending on the collision risk levels.

(A) Blind-Spot Safety System is Off

When you activate Blind-Spot Collision-Avoidance Assist or restart the vehicle with this function activated, the warning light on the outside rearview mirror appears for approximately 3 seconds.

When you restart the vehicle without Blind-Spot Collision-Avoidance Assist activated, a warning message appears on the instrument cluster.

TIP

If you turn OFF Blind-Spot Safety, always be aware of your surroundings and drive safely.

CAUTION

When using a Kia genuine Trailer Kit and the connector is plugged into your vehicle, Blind-Spot Collision-Avoidance Assist automatically turns OFF. In this case, you cannot get help from Blind-Spot Collision-Avoidance Assist. Pay extra attention when you drive while the function is inactive. (A Kia genuine Trailer Kit can determine whether a trailer is connected.)

NOTE

If you restart the vehicle, Blind-Spot Collision-Avoidance Assist maintains its last setting.
