The purpose of Drive Wise is to help eliminate the dangers and stresses that drivers face on the road. Using these technologies allow you to enjoy safer, stress-free driving, giving you a more pleasant daily commute.
Drive Wise seeks advanced safety by recognizing possible dangers and using intuitive alerting to prevent accidents with optimal intervention. It uses customized information to assist with the control of the vehicle while giving the driver autonomy. The system offers convenience based on its understanding of the surrounding environment. Here are some of the features you can find with Kia Drive Wise.
Blind Spot Detection and Rear Cross Traffic Alert
Blind Spot Detection works to eliminate the areas that you cannot see. This feature monitors your blind spots and alerts you with a visual cue on your side-view mirror when another vehicle enters your blind spot.
When you reverse, the Rear Cross Traffic Alert notifies you if something approaches your vehicle. The system gives you peace of mind when backing out of parking spots, so you do not have to worry about hitting another vehicle approaching you from behind.
Proactive Support
Proactive Support has a Speed Limit Information System. It uses a camera to detect speed limit signs and then shows the maximum speed on the cluster. The camera also works with the Lane Keeping Assist System and warns you when you begin to leave a lane without indication. It can even steer you back into place if action is required.
Autonomous Braking Support
Using a sensor and camera, the Autonomous Emergency Braking System can help prevent an accident on the road. The system can detect pedestrians and cars that are on the road and notify you if there is a potential risk of a collision. If you do not react to the warning issued, the car will brake automatically to avoid the accident.
Smart Parking Assist System
The Smart Parking Assist System helps find the perfect parking spot for your vehicle. It can detect a location that your car will fit into. After you find the right spot, the system can steer you into the parking space.
Advanced Smart Cruise Control
This technology acts like cruise control, but with updated features. The system allows you to set your desired speed, but by using sensors, it can detect when you approach a vehicle or obstacle ahead. When the system detects something in front of you, the vehicle automatically decelerates to preserve a safe distance or stops to avoid a collision.
Around View Mirror
The Around View Mirror comes with four cameras that allow you to see all angles of your vehicle. With this feature, you can feel comfortable parking in tight places knowing that you can see all sides of your vehicle as you maneuver into your spot.
The Kia Drive Wise system ensures that your every drive is safe and stress-free. If you would like to find out more about Kia Drive Wise, you can visit Huffines Kia Corinth.
