Kia Sorento: Safe Exit Assist settings

Safe Exit

While the vehicle ignition is ON, access the infotainment touchscreen and select Setup > Vehicle > Driver Assistance > Driving Safety > Safe Exit to activate or customize the Safe Exit Assist features for your Kia Sorento.

WARNING

Always stay alert and visually check your surroundings. If you manually deselect the Safe Exit feature, Safe Exit Assist cannot provide warnings or lock the doors to protect exiting occupants.

CAUTION

When a genuine Kia Trailer Kit is installed and its electrical connector is plugged into your Kia Sorento, Safe Exit Assist automatically turns OFF to avoid false triggers. Under these conditions, the system cannot assist exiting passengers, so exercise increased personal caution. (A genuine Kia Trailer Kit automatically detects when a trailer electrical harness is securely connected.)

NOTE

When you turn off and restart the Kia Sorento, Safe Exit Assist automatically retains its last configured user setting.

Warning Methods

To modify the Warning Methods settings while the vehicle is powered ON, navigate to Setup > Vehicle > Driver Assistance > Warning Methods on the Kia Sorento touch display. You can customize the following warning preferences:

• Warning Volume: Adjusts the output volume level for driver assistance warning chimes. If you set the Warning Volume to OFF, the safety system may still sound a quiet warning alert for critical safety events.

• Driving Safety Priority: Automatically lowers the volume of active media audio playback whenever a vehicle Driving Safety system triggers an audible alert chime.

TIP

• Adjustments made within the Warning Methods menu may simultaneously apply to notification preferences across other integrated driver assistance features in your Kia Sorento.

• Configured Warning Methods retain their customized values even after the engine is turned OFF and restarted.

• The layout and options available within the Warning Methods menu may vary slightly depending on your Kia Sorento trim level and regional specifications.
