Forward/Side Safety: Provides warnings and braking assistance when there is an increased risk of colliding with pedestrians, vehicles, or objects located in front of or alongside the Kia EV6.
Backward Safety: Delivers warnings and braking intervention when there is a potential collision risk with pedestrians or obstacles behind the vehicle during reversing maneuvers.

CAUTION

When a trailer is electrically connected to the vehicle, Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist and related parking safety functions may automatically deactivate. Under these conditions, the Kia EV6 cannot provide assistance from the affected systems. Always drive carefully and maintain full awareness of your surroundings when towing. (Applies when equipped with genuine Kia towing components.)
