SAFE EXIT WARNING (SEW)*

Safe Exit Warning may help prevent passengers from opening their door by displaying a warning message on the Instrument Cluster and sounding an audible warning when a vehicle is detected, approaching from behind, after your vehicle has stopped.

SEW Settings

SEW can be turned on/off by going to Vehicle Settings in the Infotainment System
Only adjust settings when the vehicle is at a standstill and the ignition is on or the Engine Start/Stop button in the ON position
To access Vehicle Settings in the Infotainment System, press the SETUP key or the onscreen SETUP button. Press VEHICLE to enter Vehicle Settings. In Driver Assistance, select Driving Safety, then Safe Exit

Quick Tips:

To adjust the WARNING VOLUME: Press the SETUP button to go to VEHICLE SETTINGS on the Infotainment System. Press VEHICLE, DRIVER ASSISTANCE, and under WARNING METHODS, you can adjust WARNING VOLUME, and turn DRIVER SAFETY PRIORITY on or off
Adjusting the Warning Timing and Warning Methods or Volume will adjust settings for other driver assistance systems

Reminders:

Some driver assistance systems use a Haptic Warning, which alerts the driver by gently pulsing the steering wheel when certain conditions are detected.

Certain features are available only on select Kia models.

When engaged, SEW is not a substitute for one’s attention and may not detect all objects surrounding the vehicle. Always pay attention to traffic and to the area around your vehicle when exiting the vehicle.
