Kia EV6: Highway Driving Assist operation / Highway Lane Change Assist: (if equipped)

• While Highway Lane Change Assist is ON, Lane Following Assist in the Kia EV6 will not be canceled even if the turn signal indicators or hazard warning lights are operating.

• Highway Lane Change Assist automatically turns OFF under the following driving conditions:

  • There is only one driving lane available.

  • The road does not have physical center separation structures such as guardrails or barriers.

  • The road ahead contains intersections, crossroads, or pedestrian crosswalks.

  • A pedestrian, cyclist, or vulnerable road user is detected ahead.

• If the Kia EV6 speed falls below 15 mph (25 km/h) while Highway Lane Change Assist is ready to operate, the system status changes to standby mode.

• At lower speeds, the function changes to standby if vehicles in the left and right adjacent lanes are not properly recognized.

  Low speeds: 20–40 mph (30–60 km/h)

• The Highway Lane Change Assist status changes to standby whenever the Kia EV6 detects a possible collision risk or unsafe lane change condition.

• The displayed images, colors, symbols, and graphics may appear differently depending on the Kia EV6 instrument cluster specification, display theme, or software version.

When Highway Lane Change Assist turns OFF, steering assistance is temporarily canceled. Always remain attentive, keep your hands on the steering wheel, and drive the Kia EV6 cautiously at all times.

• When the turn signal lever is moved to the (3) position, Highway Lane Change Assist begins the lane change operation. If the turn signal lever is returned to the neutral position before the Kia EV6 reaches the lane line, Highway Lane Change Assist is canceled.

  After the vehicle crosses the lane line, Highway Lane Change Assist does not cancel immediately. The function is canceled and the turn signal turns OFF when the lane change is completed.

• When the turn signal lever is held in the (2) position for a certain period of time, the green arrow appears. At this point, even if the lever is released and returns to its original position, the Kia EV6 may continue assisting the lane change.

• While the lane change is being performed by the function, the turn signal indicator continues blinking even if the turn signal lever is not held. The turn signal indicator turns off automatically when the lane change is complete.

• While the function is operating, Highway Lane Change Assist will cancel if any of the following situations occur:

  • Highway Driving Assist is turned OFF.

  • Lane Following Assist or Smart Cruise Control is turned OFF or temporarily canceled.

  • A hands-off warning message appears on the Kia EV6 instrument cluster.

  • The turn signal lever is placed in the A position.

  • The hazard warning lights are turned ON.

  • The instrument cluster displays a Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist or Blind-Spot Collision-Avoidance Assist warning message.

  • The Kia EV6 detects a possible collision in an adjacent lane, even if Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist and Blind-Spot Collision-Avoidance Assist warnings are not displayed.

  • The target lane for the lane change disappears.

  • The target lane for the lane change cannot be detected.

  • There is a problem with the turn signal lamps.

  • Highway Lane Change Assist is turned off. The function may turn off when it is disabled from the settings menu, when the road changes to a one-way road, when an intersection or crosswalk is ahead, when the Kia EV6 enters a road without a center separation structure such as a median strip or guardrail, or when a pedestrian or cyclist is detected in the driving lane.

  • If you drive below 15 mph (25 km/h) when Lane Change Assist is ready to operate, the function status changes to standby.

  • When driving at low speeds, the vehicle changes to standby state if vehicles in the left and right adjacent lanes are not properly recognized.

    Low speeds: 20–40 mph (30–60 km/h)

  • The Kia EV6 detects a collision risk or an unsafe lane change condition.

• When Highway Lane Change Assist is canceled during operation, the vehicle may return toward the center of the driving lane, or steering assistance may stop depending on road and traffic conditions. Always pay close attention to the road, lane markings, surrounding vehicles, and driving conditions while using this Kia EV6 feature.

• The function may not operate normally on roads where pedestrians or cyclists may be present, such as intersections, crosswalks, urban roads, or mixed-traffic areas. Always drive carefully and be prepared to steer or brake manually.
