Kia’s Advanced Safety Features: Learn How Kia Helps Protect You on the Road

When you head to your Frederick, MD, Kia dealer looking for a new car, you’ll find the vehicles there have many safety features to help improve your safety on each trip. Let’s explore various Kia safety features to see what innovative technology Kia uses to help secure you and your passengers.

Learn What Kia Does to Help Protect You in the Cars Available at Your Frederick, MD, Kia Dealer

Automatic Emergency Braking

Automatic emergency braking activates when your Kia detects an imminent collision, and the car notices that you haven’t activated the brakes to prevent it. In some situations, your Kia activating the brakes can help prevent collisions.

 When a collision is unavoidable, having your Kia apply the brakes might help lessen the crash’s impact. The car can help detect pedestrians, cyclists, and other vehicles. Some variations of the feature have “junction turning,” which means your Kia can help detect potential collisions while you’re turning left at a junction.

Blind Spot Collision Avoidance-Assist and Blind Spot Collision Warning

Your Kia can issue audio and visual alerts when a driver enters your blind spot. If you attempt to change lanes while there’s a driver in your blind spot, then your Kia can correct your steering to help ensure you remain safe and don’t collide with the vehicle in your way.

Blind Spot View Monitor

Your Kia can help you see your blind spot by displaying a view from cameras mounted in the right areas of your vehicle. The display shows up on your digital instrument cluster, and the feed can help you identify objects in your blind spot and drive accordingly to help avoid colliding with them.

Smart Cruise Control with Stop and Go

Cruise control is intended for use on the highway. When this feature is activated, your car can adjust its speed to help maintain a predetermined following distance from the vehicle in front of you. If the vehicle in front of you stops, your car will also stop. It can begin driving again if the car in front of you begins driving again within three seconds of stopping.

Highway Driving Assist

Highway driving assist is similar to cruise control. However, instead of basing your speed on the speed of the vehicle ahead, your car will decide your speed based on the speed limit signs around you. The system will also help ensure you’re a safe distance away from the car in front of you.

Surround View Monitor

A surround-view monitor helps you be aware of everything around your vehicle. It provides a bird’s-eye view, helping make it easier to park in tight spaces and navigate obstacles.
