When the Kia EV6 Blind-Spot Collision-Avoidance Assist system is activated or when the vehicle is restarted with the function enabled, the side mirror warning lights will illuminate for approximately 3 seconds as a system check.

If the Kia EV6 is restarted with Blind-Spot Collision-Avoidance Assist turned OFF, a warning message will appear on the instrument cluster display.

WARNING

If Blind-Spot Safety is turned OFF in the Kia EV6, always remain aware of surrounding traffic conditions and drive carefully.

The driver is fully responsible for safe lane changes and blind spot monitoring at all times.

CAUTION

When using a genuine Kia Trailer Kit with the connector plugged into the Kia EV6, Blind-Spot Collision-Avoidance Assist automatically turns OFF.

In this condition, the Kia EV6 cannot provide blind spot assistance, braking support, or related warning functions while towing.

Extra driver attention is required whenever the system is inactive.

A genuine Kia Trailer Kit allows the Kia EV6 to recognize when a trailer is connected.
