Kia EV6 Lane Following Assist steering wheel activation button location

To activate Kia EV6 Lane Following Assist, briefly press the Lane Following Assist button located on the steering wheel while the vehicle is in DRIVE READY mode.

Once the Kia EV6 Lane Following Assist system is enabled, the gray or green (Kia EV6 Lane Following Assist status indicator icon) indicator light will appear on the instrument cluster display.

To deactivate Kia EV6 Lane Following Assist, press the Lane Following Assist button once again.

The Kia EV6 Lane Following Assist system is designed to support more stable lane positioning during highway driving, long-distance travel, and moderate traffic conditions.

CAUTION

When a genuine Kia Trailer Kit is installed and connected to the Kia EV6, Lane Following Assist automatically turns OFF.

In this situation, the Kia EV6 cannot provide Lane Following Assist steering support, so the driver must pay additional attention while towing.

A genuine Kia Trailer Kit allows the Kia EV6 to recognize when a trailer is connected.

Warning and control

Lane Following Assist

If the Kia EV6 detects both lane markings and/or a vehicle ahead while driving below approximately 120 mph (180 km/h), the green (Kia EV6 active Lane Following Assist steering indicator) indicator light will illuminate on the instrument cluster.

When operating conditions are satisfied, the Kia EV6 Lane Following Assist system can help keep the vehicle centered within the lane by providing steering assistance.

The Kia EV6 front view camera continuously monitors lane markings and surrounding traffic conditions to support smooth and stable lane guidance.

This advanced Kia EV6 driver assistance technology can help reduce driver fatigue during extended highway driving.

CAUTION

If steering assistance is temporarily unavailable, the white (Kia EV6 Lane Following Assist standby indicator) indicator light will blink and then change to gray.

This indicates that the Kia EV6 Lane Following Assist system is in standby mode or that operating conditions are not currently satisfied.

If the driver continues driving without placing their hands back on the steering wheel, the Kia EV6 will display an additional warning message and automatically deactivate Lane Following Assist.

The Kia EV6 Hands-off Warning system is designed to remind drivers that active steering supervision is always required, even while driver assistance systems are operating.

WARNING

  • Kia EV6 steering assistance may not activate properly if the steering wheel is held too tightly or turned beyond a certain steering angle.

    The driver is always responsible for safely steering the vehicle and maintaining proper lane position.

  • The Kia EV6 hands-off warning message may appear later than expected depending on road conditions, driving behavior, or steering input.

    Always keep both hands on the steering wheel while driving.

  • If gloves are worn or the steering wheel is held too lightly, the Kia EV6 may not correctly detect driver hand contact and the hands-off warning may activate.

  • If accessories, covers, or objects are attached to the Kia EV6 steering wheel, hands-off detection and steering assistance performance may not operate correctly.

  • Do not rely entirely on Kia EV6 Lane Following Assist during severe weather, heavy traffic, sharp curves, or poor road conditions.

NOTE

  • For additional details regarding the Kia EV6 instrument cluster display and driving assist view, refer to the Driving Assist View section.
