Highway Driving Assist

The Highway Driving Assist (HDA) system in your Kia K4 is designed to detect lane markings and lead vehicles. It actively assists in maintaining a safe following distance, adhering to your set speed, and centering the Kia K4 within its lane while driving on supported highways.

Highway Lane Change Assist

The Highway Lane Change Assist function can provide automated assistance during lane change maneuvers in the direction indicated by your turn signal, provided the system confirms the path is clear and safe for your Kia K4.

TIP

  • Highway Driving Assist is exclusively available on controlled-access roads on specific highways. A controlled-access road is defined by limited, designated entrances and exits that ensure uninterrupted, high-speed traffic flow; these roads are generally restricted to passenger cars and motorcycles.

  • Coverage for additional highways may be expanded via future navigation system software updates for your Kia K4.

Note that Highway Driving Assist functions primarily on highway main roads and is not intended for use in complex interchanges or junctions.

Highway Lane Change Assist operation

Highway Lane Change Assist will operate when the system status is ready, you move the turn signal lever to the (1) or (2) position, and the following rigorous safety conditions are satisfied for your Kia K4:

  • Your hands are detected on the steering wheel.

  • The lane change direction is clear and carries no risk of collision.

  • You are driving on a road with at least two lanes featuring broken line markings in the direction of the intended lane change.

  • There are no active Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist or Blind Spot Collision-Avoidance Assist warnings triggered.

  • You are driving centered in your lane, not hugging either side.

  • The specific road segment meets the operational requirements for Highway Lane Change Assist.

TIP

  • When you hold the turn signal lever in the (1) position, the Highway Lane Change Assist operates. If you release the lever to the neutral position before crossing the lane line, the maneuver will cancel.

    However, the function does not cancel once you have crossed the lane line; the turn signal will automatically turn OFF once the Kia K4 completes the lane change.

  • When you move the turn signal lever to the (2) position for a short duration, the green arrow will appear. The Highway Lane Change Assist will continue to operate even if you release the lever back to the neutral position.

  • During the lane change, the turn signal indicator will blink automatically, even if you do not hold the lever. The signal indicator will automatically deactivate once your Kia K4 has successfully completed the lane change.
