Kia Sorento: Rear Cross-Traffic Collision-Avoidance Assist settings. Rear Cross-Traffic Collision-Avoidance Assist operation

When you restart the vehicle, Rear Cross-Traffic Collision-Avoidance Assist always turns ON. If you deselect Rear Cross-Traffic Safety after restarting your Kia Sorento, you should always be aware of the surroundings and drive safely.

When using a Kia genuine Trailer Kit and the connector is plugged into your vehicle, Rear Cross-Traffic Collision-Avoidance Assist automatically turns OFF. In this case, you cannot get help from Rear Cross-Traffic 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.)

• Your configured Warning Methods settings may also apply to the warning alerts of other active driver assistance systems on your Kia Sorento.

• Warning Methods maintain their last saved configurations when you turn OFF and subsequently restart the vehicle.

• The Warning Methods setting menu availability may vary depending on the specific vehicle trim level and regional specifications.

• If the operating conditions are satisfied, your Kia Sorento will issue a warning whenever a vehicle approaches from either side even if your current travel speed is 0 mph (0 km/h).

• The graphics, icons, or interface colors may display differently depending on the specific specifications and display theme of your instrument cluster.

Brake control ends under the following conditions:

• The approaching vehicle is out of the detecting range.

• The approaching vehicle passes behind your vehicle.

• The approaching vehicle does not drive toward your vehicle.

• The approaching vehicle slows down.

• You engage the brake pedal with sufficient power.

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

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