Turning ON or OFF

Press and hold the Parking Safety button () for more than two seconds to enable or disable the Parking Collision-Avoidance Assist system.

Operating conditions

Select Backward Safety from the Parking Safety menu on the infotainment screen. Parking Collision-Avoidance Assist in the Kia EV6 becomes operational when the following requirements are met:

• All doors and the liftgate are securely closed.

• The Electronic Parking Brake (EPB) has been released.

• The transmission is shifted into R (Reverse).

• Vehicle speed is below 6 mph (10 km/h) when monitoring pedestrians.

• Vehicle speed is below 2 mph (4 km/h) when detecting stationary objects.

• All PCA-related components, including the rear camera and rear ultrasonic sensors, are functioning normally.

  When the system is active, a guidance line appears behind the vehicle image in the instrument cluster, indicating that Reverse Parking Collision-Avoidance Assist is ready to intervene if necessary.

NOTE

Non-operating conditions

If Reverse Parking Collision-Avoidance Assist detects a potential collision risk with a pedestrian or obstacle, the Kia EV6 provides an audible warning and displays a warning message in the instrument cluster. If the infotainment display is active, additional visual alerts may also appear on the screen.

When the system determines that a collision is imminent and the driver does not react appropriately, automatic braking assistance may be applied to help avoid or reduce the severity of the impact.

Braking intervention is automatically released after approximately five minutes. The driver should immediately press the brake pedal and carefully assess the surroundings before continuing to drive.

Braking assistance is cancelled under the following conditions:

• The transmission is shifted to P (Park) or D (Drive).

• The driver applies sufficient braking force manually.

• The warning condition ends after selecting P (Park), N (Neutral), or D (Drive).
