With the vehicle on, touch User settings → Driver assistance → Driving safety → Driving safety on the instrument cluster or Settings → Vehicle → Driver assistance → Forward safety on the infotainment system. You can select or deselect each function in this menu.

  • Forward safety: Depending on the collision risk levels, an audible warning will sound, and the braking will be assisted. If the following menu is deactivated, Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist will turn off and the Forward Safety warning light () will appear on the cluster.

Kia recommends visiting an authorised Kia dealer/service partner.
