Kia EV6 Safe Exit Warning system detecting approaching rear vehicle while exiting

The Kia EV6 Safe Exit Warning (SEW) system is designed to help reduce the risk of accidents when passengers exit the vehicle.

While the Kia EV6 is stopped, Safe Exit Warning can monitor vehicles approaching from the rear side area and provide visual and audible warnings if a passenger attempts to open a door when a potential collision risk is detected.

The Kia EV6 Safe Exit Warning system helps improve awareness in crowded urban streets, parking areas, roadside stops, and heavy traffic conditions where rear-side visibility may be limited.

CAUTION

The timing of Kia EV6 Safe Exit Warning alerts may vary depending on the speed, direction, and distance of approaching vehicles.

Detection sensor

Please refer to the Detecting Sensor(s) section for detailed information regarding the applicable Kia EV6 sensors and their installation locations.

The Kia EV6 Safe Exit Warning system primarily uses rear corner radar sensors to monitor approaching vehicles near the rear side area of the vehicle.

CAUTION

For additional information regarding Kia EV6 rear corner radar operation and limitations, refer to the Blind-Spot Collision-Avoidance Assist (BCA) section.
