Great Safety Features You Can Find on 2024 Models

Modern Kias are safer than ever before. Below is a rundown of the excellent Kia safety features to be found as standard or optional in Kia’s 2024 models.

Forward Collision Warning

With this feature, while driving, your car is constantly observing the road ahead, calculating the risk of collision with vehicles, pedestrians, and other potential obstacles. If a collision threat arises, such as the car ahead suddenly slowing, you’ll receive a clear instant warning, both audibly and visually, helping you to react in time to avoid an accident. 

Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist

Should you fail to respond immediately to a detected collision threat, your car will apply the emergency brakes with the appropriate amount of force to avoid or at least mitigate the impact. This computerized system, which never drops its guard, often has superior reflexes to a human driver, who might be distracted at the moment a threat arises. 

Lane Departure Warning

Accidentally wandering into a neighboring lane is a potential hazard on long drives when you might become drowsy. By constantly monitoring the lane markers, your car knows if you start to drift to one side. You’ll then receive a clear alert to ensure you steer back into a safer position.

Vehicle Stability Management

If you ever encounter a rough, bumpy, or wet patch of the road, your traction is kept firm by the vehicle’s stability management system, which uses cameras to observe the road and automatically makes necessary adjustments to the steering and brakes. This reduces your risk of skidding. 

Tire Pressure Monitoring System

The quality of a car’s tires and their inflation is a huge factor in road safety. With the Tire Pressure Monitoring System, your car measures the pressure inside each tire and lets you know if the PSI inside any tire becomes too low or too high. You can then release or add air before the improper inflation causes a problem.

Highway Driving Assist and Highway Driving Pilot

These sophisticated features allow your car to drive automatically on stretches of the highway, accelerating and braking to keep a predetermined distance from the vehicle ahead while also steering itself to stay safely centered in the lane. If you wish to change lanes, you can simply use the indicator to signal your intention. Your car will then safely change lanes, all the while monitoring your blind spots and distances from other cars.
