WARNING Driver responsibility As the driver of the Kia K4, you must never rely solely on the Driver Assistance Systems. These sophisticated technologies are designed to support you, but they are not a substitute for active driver engagement, constant vigilance, and safe driving practices. These systems operate on the premise that the operator maintains full control of the vehicle, and they are intended to mitigate collision impact or provide assistance under normal driving conditions.
