Warning and control
|
|
|
The Kia EV6 Lane Keeping Assist system provides the following warning and steering assistance functions to help improve driving stability and lane positioning:
-
Lane Departure Warning
-
Lane Keeping Assist
Lane Departure Warning
When the Kia EV6 detects that the vehicle is unintentionally leaving its lane without the turn signal being activated, the Lane Departure Warning function alerts the driver through multiple warning methods.
The system uses a green indicator light on the instrument cluster, a blinking directional warning indicator corresponding to the side of lane departure, audible warning sounds, and steering wheel vibration to notify the driver.
The Kia EV6 Lane Departure Warning function is designed to help improve driver awareness during highway driving, long-distance travel, and situations involving temporary distraction or fatigue.
Lane Departure Warning may activate under the following approximate operating conditions:
-
Your Kia EV6 driving speed is approximately 40–120 mph (60–180 km/h)
The Kia EV6 front view camera continuously monitors visible lane markings and road edges to determine vehicle position within the lane.
Lane Keeping Assist
When Lane Keeping Assist is operating, the green indicator light () will blink on the
instrument cluster
while the steering system makes small corrective steering adjustments to help keep the Kia EV6 centered within
the
lane.
The Kia EV6 Lane Keeping Assist system can provide steering support if it detects unintended lane departure while driving above the operating speed range.
Lane Keeping Assist may activate under the following approximate conditions:
-
Your Kia EV6 driving speed is approximately 40–120 mph (60–180 km/h)
The Kia EV6 steering assistance system is intended to support the driver but does not replace attentive and responsible driving.
Hands-off warning
|
|
|
If the Kia EV6 detects that the driver has removed their hands from the steering wheel for several seconds, a warning message will appear on the instrument cluster and audible warning alerts will sound progressively in stages.
The Kia EV6 Hands-off Warning system is designed to remind the driver to maintain proper steering wheel contact while Lane Keeping Assist or other steering support functions are active.
WARNING

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

If accessories or objects are attached to the Kia EV6 steering wheel, the hands-off detection system may not function correctly.
-
Do not rely solely on Kia EV6 driver assistance systems in severe weather, poor visibility, or difficult road conditions.
NOTE

The steering wheel on the Kia EV6 may feel temporarily heavier or lighter while steering assistance is active.
