A: Collision warning

If SEW detects a vehicle approaching from behind, the warning indicator in the outside rearview mirror flashes, a message appears on the instrument cluster, and an audible alert sounds.

WARNING

  • For your safety, change the settings only after parking the Kia Sportage in a safe place.

  • If another function displays a warning message or sounds an alert at the same time, the SEW message or audible warning may not appear or be heard.

  • Noise in the surrounding area may make the SEW alert difficult to hear. Set the vehicle audio volume appropriately and remain attentive to your surroundings.

  • SEW may not operate in every situation and cannot prevent every collision.

  • Depending on traffic and driving conditions, SEW may issue a warning late or may not issue one. Always check the area around the vehicle before opening a door.

  • The driver and passengers are responsible for checking for hazards before leaving the vehicle. Look for approaching traffic and other potential dangers before opening a door.

NOTE

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

  • The appearance and colours of the images may differ depending on the instrument cluster specifications or selected theme.
