Kia Drive Wise System

The Kia Drive Wise driver assist technology is a way to feel and stay safe on the road when driving in your Kia. With the purchase of a new Kia, some features are automatically enabled. For example, the Auto Emergency Braking won't be activated until needed (in the case of an immediate potential collision). Other features are active with your actions as the driver. For example, Blind-Spot View only activates when you turn on your turn signal above certain speeds. While we don't recommend disabling Kia Drive Wise, it is possible to disable this advanced driver assistance system.
