    • The vehicle approaching from behind is travelling above 6 km/h (4 mph).

A: Collision warning

If a vehicle is detected approaching from behind as a door is opened for someone to exit, Safe Exit Warning issues a collision alert.

The outside rear-view mirror warning light flashes, a message appears on the instrument cluster and an audible warning sounds.

WARNING

  • For your safety, change system settings only after parking the Kia Picanto in a safe location.

  • If another function displays a warning message or sounds an alert, the Safe Exit Warning message or audible warning may not be displayed or heard.

  • Noise around the vehicle may make the Safe Exit Warning sound difficult to hear.

  • Safe Exit Warning cannot operate in every situation or prevent every collision.

  • Depending on the vehicle and driving conditions, the warning may come late or may not be issued. Check the area around the vehicle before opening a door.

  • The driver and passengers are responsible for checking for hazards when leaving the vehicle. Look for approaching traffic before opening a door or stepping out.

NOTE

  • After the vehicle is switched off, Safe Exit Warning remains active for approximately three minutes. It switches off immediately if the doors are locked.

  • Instrument cluster images and colours may vary according to the cluster specification or selected theme.
