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.

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.
