Kia EV6: Opening and closing / Front door

Door Lock Malfunction

If a power door lock malfunction occurs while you are inside the Kia EV6, try one or more of the following methods to exit the vehicle safely:

• Operate both the electronic and manual door unlocking functions repeatedly while simultaneously pulling the interior door handle.

• Try using the remaining front and rear door handles and lock switches inside the Kia EV6.

• Lower a front side window and use the mechanical key from outside the vehicle if necessary.

Do not pull the interior door handle of any Kia EV6 door while the vehicle is moving, as this may lead to accidental door opening and serious injury.

Doors

• The doors of the Kia EV6 should always remain fully closed and locked whenever the vehicle is in motion in order to reduce the risk of accidental opening.

• Always check for approaching vehicles, motorcycles, bicycles, or pedestrians before opening any Kia EV6 door. Opening a door into the path of traffic or pedestrians may result in serious injury or vehicle damage.

Unattended children, the elderly or pets

An enclosed Kia EV6 parked in hot weather can become extremely dangerous due to rapidly rising cabin temperatures. Heat exposure inside the vehicle may cause severe injury, heatstroke, or death to unattended children, elderly individuals, or pets unable to exit the vehicle independently.

Children inside the Kia EV6 may also accidentally operate vehicle systems, including power windows, locks, or electronic controls, potentially causing injury or other dangerous situations. Never leave children or animals unattended inside the vehicle.

• The doors of the Kia EV6 should always remain securely closed and locked while driving. Unlocked doors increase the possibility of occupants being ejected from the vehicle during an accident.

• Never pull the interior door handle of the driver or passenger doors while the Kia EV6 is moving.

Do not leave children or animals unattended inside the Kia EV6. Cabin temperatures can increase rapidly and create life-threatening conditions for occupants unable to leave the vehicle independently.

Children may also unintentionally activate vehicle controls, creating additional safety risks.

Always secure your Kia EV6 before leaving it unattended. To properly secure the vehicle, keep the brake pedal depressed, shift into the P (Park) position, engage the parking brake, press the EV button to the OFF position, close all windows, lock all doors, and take the smart key with you.

Remaining inside a locked Kia EV6 for an extended period during extremely hot or cold weather may create serious health risks or life-threatening conditions. Never lock the vehicle from outside while another person remains inside.

Opening a Kia EV6 door into the path of approaching traffic, bicycles, motorcycles, or pedestrians may cause injury or property damage. Always check surrounding traffic conditions carefully before opening any vehicle door.

If the electrical power door lock system of the Kia EV6 does not operate due to battery discharge and the liftgate remains closed, the liftgate cannot be opened until electrical power has been restored.
