(A) Collision Warning

The integrated warning light on the outside rearview mirror blinks rapidly, a clear warning message appears prominently on the instrument cluster screen, and a distinct audible warning sounds to alert passengers.

WARNING

  • For your absolute safety, always adjust your infotainment system settings only after parking your Kia Sorento securely at a safe location.

  • Safe Exit Warning may fail to display a visual warning message or generate an audible chime if another higher-priority system warning message or sound is triggered simultaneously.

  • You might not hear the warning sound of Safe Exit Warning if your surrounding traffic or cabin environment is exceptionally noisy.

  • Safe Exit Warning does not operate in all conceivable traffic situations and cannot physically prevent all potential collisions.

  • Safe Exit Warning may provide a delayed warning or fail to warn you depending on complex external vehicle dynamics and driving conditions. Always double-check your surroundings visually.

  • You and your passengers bear sole legal responsibility for any accidents or incidents that occur while exiting the vehicle. Always verify that your path is clear before opening any door.

TIP

  • After you turn OFF the ignition of your Kia Sorento, Safe Exit Warning continues to operate for approximately 3 minutes to protect exiting passengers, but deactivates immediately if you lock all doors from the outside.

  • The displayed graphics, icons, or interface colors may vary slightly depending on your instrument cluster display specifications or theme selections.
