Basic function

The Kia EV6 Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist (FCA) system uses advanced sensor fusion technology to help detect vehicles, motorcycles, pedestrians, and cyclists traveling ahead of the vehicle.

When a potential collision risk is detected, the Kia EV6 may warn the driver using audible alerts, visual warning messages on the instrument cluster, and additional system notifications.

If the driver does not react quickly enough, the Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist system may automatically apply emergency braking to help reduce collision impact speed or, in certain situations, help avoid the collision entirely.

The Kia EV6 FCA system is designed to monitor traffic conditions continuously and may also recognize vehicles located in adjacent lanes, even during high-speed driving conditions.

If the driver attempts a lane change while another vehicle is approaching rapidly, the Kia EV6 may activate emergency braking assistance to help mitigate or prevent a collision.: (if equipped)

The system combines information from the front camera, radar sensors, and additional vehicle detection technologies to improve overall driving safety and driver awareness.

Junction Turning function

The Junction Turning function in the Kia EV6 is designed to help reduce the risk of collisions while turning left at intersections or crossroads.

If the system detects an oncoming vehicle, motorcycle, powered two-wheeler, or cyclist approaching from the opposite direction while the turn signal is activated, the Kia EV6 may automatically apply emergency braking assistance.

This feature helps improve intersection safety and supports the driver during complex turning situations where visibility or reaction time may be limited.

The Junction Turning system is especially useful in urban traffic environments with heavy cross-traffic and frequent pedestrian or cyclist activity.

Junction Crossing function: (if equipped)

The Junction Crossing function available on selected Kia EV6 models helps reduce the possibility of collisions when crossing through intersections.

If the system detects approaching vehicles from the left or right side while crossing an intersection, the Kia EV6 may activate emergency braking assistance to help avoid or reduce collision severity.

This driver assistance feature is designed to improve safety in situations where cross traffic may be difficult to see due to buildings, parked vehicles, weather conditions, or heavy traffic.

Direct Oncoming function

Oncoming vehicle

The Direct Oncoming function in the Kia EV6 is designed to help reduce collision speed when an approaching vehicle or powered two-wheeler is detected traveling directly toward the vehicle.

If a potential frontal collision risk is identified, the Kia EV6 may provide warnings and automatically assist with emergency braking to help reduce impact severity.

This feature is particularly useful during narrow-road driving, nighttime conditions, and unexpected lane intrusion situations.

Lane-Change Oncoming function: (if equipped)

Oncoming vehicle

The Lane-Change Oncoming function on the Kia EV6 helps reduce the risk of collisions with oncoming vehicles or powered two-wheelers while changing lanes.

If the system determines that a lane change could result in a dangerous situation, the Kia EV6 may assist the driver by providing steering support and corrective intervention.

The system is designed to improve driver confidence during highway driving and lane transition maneuvers.

Lane-Change Side function: (if equipped)

1. Approaching car from side

The Kia EV6 Lane-Change Side function helps monitor surrounding traffic during lane changes and detects vehicles approaching from the side.

If a possible side collision risk is detected, the system may provide steering assistance, warning notifications, and additional driver alerts to help avoid an accident.

This advanced Kia EV6 driver assistance feature improves awareness in blind-spot areas and enhances highway driving safety during heavy traffic conditions.

The combination of radar sensors, cameras, and intelligent safety software allows the Kia EV6 to react quickly to changing traffic situations and support safer lane-change operation.

Lane-Change Side function in the Kia EV6 is designed to help reduce the risk of collisions with vehicles or powered two-wheelers traveling in adjacent lanes during lane-change maneuvers.

If the system detects a potential side collision while changing lanes, the Kia EV6 may assist the driver by providing steering support and corrective intervention to help maintain a safer driving path.

This advanced safety technology improves driver awareness during highway driving, heavy traffic conditions, and multi-lane road situations.

Evasive Steering Assist function: (if equipped)

• Driver steering assist

  If the Kia EV6 detects a possible collision risk involving a vehicle ahead, pedestrians, cyclists, or powered two-wheelers, and the driver attempts to steer away from the danger, the Evasive Steering Assist system may provide additional steering support.

  This assistance helps the driver perform smoother and more stable avoidance maneuvers during emergency situations.

• Evasive steering assist

  The Kia EV6 Evasive Steering Assist function is designed to help avoid collisions with vehicles, pedestrians, cyclists, or powered two-wheelers located ahead in the same lane.

  When a potential collision risk is detected, the system may warn the driver through visual and audible alerts while simultaneously assisting steering input if the driver turns the steering wheel.

  The Evasive Steering Assist system operates only when sufficient space is available for the Kia EV6 to perform an avoidance maneuver safely.

  The function evaluates nearby road conditions, surrounding traffic, and available operating space before providing steering intervention.

  This feature can help improve driver response during sudden obstacle avoidance situations and supports safer emergency maneuvering.
