Forward Attention Warning

Kia Sportage Forward Attention Warning reminder to keep your eyes on the road
  1. Keep your eyes on the road and drive carefully.

Forward Attention Warning assesses whether the driver is watching the road using information such as how long the driver looks away and how long the eyes remain closed. If the system determines that the driver is not focused, it sounds an audible alert for approximately one second and displays the Forward Attention Warning indicator (Kia Sportage Forward Attention Warning indicator on the instrument cluster). The indicator remains on until the conditions for clearing the warning are met.

If the system detects that the driver may have fallen asleep, it can issue a warning message and steering wheel vibration, as well as the audible alert and warning light.
