The Kia EV6 Safe Exit Assist system is designed to help improve passenger safety by warning occupants about approaching vehicles before opening the doors.

This advanced Kia EV6 driver assistance feature is especially useful in crowded urban traffic, roadside parking situations, school pickup areas, and narrow streets with passing traffic.

WARNING

In this condition, the Kia EV6 cannot provide Safe Exit Assist warnings or door locking support.

Extra caution is required whenever the function is inactive.

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