Driver Attention Warning function

The Kia EV6 Driver Attention Warning function monitors driving patterns, steering behavior, lane position, and vehicle movement to help determine whether driver attention may be decreasing.

When the system determines that the driver’s attention level has dropped below a certain threshold, Driver Attention Warning may recommend taking a break to support safer driving.

This Kia EV6 feature is especially helpful during long-distance driving, highway travel, nighttime driving, and situations where fatigue may gradually affect concentration.

Leading Vehicle Departure Alert function

The Kia EV6 Leading Vehicle Departure Alert function informs the driver when the vehicle ahead, previously stopped in front, begins to move away.

This function can be useful in traffic queues, intersections, and stop-and-go driving situations where the driver may be momentarily distracted.
