Safety
Kia Drive Wise - Driver Assist Technology
Blind-Spot Collision Warning (BCW)
The Blind-Spot Collision Warning (BCW) System is advanced technology that helps reduce the blind spots on the side and rear areas of your Kia. The radar-based detection system sends out visual or auditory signals to help warn you of objects not in your field of view.
Disclaimers
<p>Included in the GT2 Package.</p>
<p>Blind-Spot Collision Warning (BCW) is not a substitute for proper and safe driving. Always drive safely and use caution when changing lanes. BCW may not detect every object alongside or approaching from behind the vehicle.</p>
<p>Image shown for illustration only.</p>
Driver Attention Warning (DAW)
The system is designed to detect a drowsy or fatigued driver and give a warning signal to take a break if needed.
Disclaimers
<p>Driver Attention Warning (DAW) is not a substitute for safe driving and may not detect all instances of driver fatigue or inattentive driving practices. Failure to pay attention to travel conditions and vehicle operation could result in loss of vehicle control. Always drive safely and use caution.</p>

Forward Collision Warning (FCW) detects a potential collision with the car in front, and provides the driver audible warnings and visual signals on the meter display.
Disclaimers
<p>Forward Collision Warning (FCW) is not a substitute for proper and safe driving. Always drive safely and use caution. FCW may not detect every object in front of the vehicle.</p>
<p>Image shown for illustration only.</p>
Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist (FCA)
Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist (FCA) works independently of the driver in critical situations, applying the brakes to help prevent or lessen the effects of a frontal collision.
Disclaimers
<p>Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist (FCA) is not a substitute for proper and safe driving. Always drive safely and use caution. FCA may not detect every object in front of the vehicle.</p>
<p>Image shown for illustration only.</p>
Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist (FCA) with Pedestrian Detection
Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist (FCA) with Pedestrian Detection uses a sensor and camera to detect pedestrians on the road and can automatically apply the brakes if it anticipates a frontal collision.
Disclaimers
<p>Included in the GT2 Package.</p>
<p>Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist (FCA) with Pedestrian Detection is not a substitute for proper and safe driving. Always drive safely and use caution. FCA with Pedestrian Detection may not detect every object in front of the vehicle.</p>
Lane Change Assist (LCA)
Lane Change Assist (LCA) takes Blind-Spot Collision Warning (BCW) one step further to detect and warn you if vehicles are approaching from behind.
Disclaimers
<p>Included in the GT2 Package.</p>
<p>Lane Change Assist (LCA) is not a substitute for safe driving. Always drive safely and use caution when changing lanes. LCA may not detect every object alongside or approaching from behind the vehicle.</p>

<p>Image shown for illustration only.</p>
Lane Departure Warning (LDW)
The Lane Departure Warning (LDW) is your second set of eyes on the road. This camera-based system monitors the position of your vehicle within its lane and helps warn you if it deviates, or is about to deviate from the lane. LDW also helps warn you of a lane departure when your vehicle is traveling above a certain speed and the vehicle's turn signal is not activated.
Disclaimers
<p>Lane Departure Warning (LDW) is not a substitute for proper and safe lane-changing procedures. Always drive safely and use caution when changing lanes. LDW may not detect every object alongside the vehicle.</p>
<p>Image shown for illustration only.</p>
Lane Keeping Assist-Line (LKA-L)
In addition to Lane Departure Warning (LDW), Lane Keeping Assist-Line (LKA-L) may apply corrective steering to help prevent you from drifting into another lane.
Disclaimers
<p>Lane Keeping Assist-Line is not a substitute for safe driving, and may not detect all objects around the vehicle. Always drive safely and use caution.</p>
Rear Cross Traffic Collision Warning (RCCW)
An added feature of Blind-Spot Collision Warning (BCW), radar sensors hidden in the corners of the rear bumper scan for passing cars, motorcycles, and/or other vehicles as you back up. If the system detects a vehicle crossing into your intended path, a warning sounds and a light appears on the left or right outside rear view mirror, depending on the location of the other vehicle.
Disclaimers

Safety Features
3-Point Seat Belts For All Seating Positions
The first line of defense in safety are the seat belts. Front and rear 3-point seat belts are an integral part of an elaborate vehicle-wide safety system designed to help minimize the effects of an accident.
Disclaimers
<p>For maximum protection, always wear your seat belt. No system, no matter how advanced, can compensate for all driver error and/or driving conditions. Always drive safely.</p>
Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) w/ 4-Wheel Disc Brakes
The foundation of your Kia's active safety system, the Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS) uses electronic sensors at each wheel hub to detect when wheels begin to skid. If skidding under braking is detected, Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS) modulates brake-force to reduce skidding, which then allows for reduced braking distances, in addition to helping you maintain control of your vehicle.
Disclaimers
<p>Forte EX shown.</p>
<p>For maximum protection, always wear your seat belt. No system, no matter how advanced, can compensate for all driver error and/or driving conditions. Always drive safely.</p>
Brake Assist System (BAS)
The Brake Assist System (BAS) adds an additional level of enhanced safety by detecting emergency braking situations and applying additional braking force. The Brake Assist System (BAS) instantly assesses a number of variables, including brake pedal pressure and speed in which the brake pedal was depressed, then responds with full braking force if necessary.
Disclaimers
<p>For maximum protection, always wear your seat belt. No system, no matter how advanced, can compensate for all driver error and/or driving conditions. Always drive safely.</p>
Dual Front Advanced Airbags
When used with properly fitted seat belts, this advanced system helps detect the presence of a front seat passenger, monitors the severity of an impact and controls airbag inflation accordingly to help reduce injuries in certain collisions.
Disclaimers
<p>Forte EX with shown.</p>
<p>For maximum protection, always wear your seat belt. Inflated airbags are shown for illustration only.</p>
Dual Front Seat Mounted Side Airbags
When used with seat belts, the dual front seat-mounted side airbags offer an additional level of enhanced safety and can be effective at reducing injuries from certain collisions.
Disclaimers
<p>Forte EX with shown.</p>
<p>For maximum protection, always wear your seat belt.</p>
Electronic Brake-Force Distribution (EBD)
The Electronic Brake-Force Distribution (EBD) system offers a measure of enhanced safety by electronically distributing appropriate amounts of braking pressure to each wheel through a network of sensors. The result is more controlled and precise handling while applying the brakes.
Disclaimers
<p>For maximum protection, always wear your seat belt. No system, no matter how advanced, can compensate for all driver error and/or driving conditions. Always drive safely.</p>
