Even the best drivers can use a little help. So we created Kia Drive
Wise,* our available advanced driver-assistance technologies that are
designed to help keep you alert and aware of changes in the flow of
traffic ahead of you — and even help you brake in certain situations.

FORWARD COLLISION WARNING6*  DW

This system is designed to help detect slowing or stopped traffic ahead,
and alert you if it detects you getting too close

FORWARD COLLISION-AVOIDANCE ASSIST6*  DW

This system is designed to help detect and alert you of a collision risk, and even
automatically apply the brakes in some cases

BRAKE ASSIST SYSTEM

If you suddenly slam on your brakes, it’s designed to sense the urgency and apply
full braking power, which can help shorten your braking distance

ELECTRONIC BRAKE-FORCE DISTRIBUTION

Based on the vehicle’s weight distribution, it helps adjust the balance
of braking power accordingly
