Kia Niro: Driving your vehicle / Blind spot detection system
The Blind spot detection system uses a radar sensor to alert the driver while driving.
It senses the rear side territory of the vehicle and provides information to the driver.
➀ Blind spot detection
Warning range is dependent on your vehicle speed. However, if the speed of your vehicle is faster by 10km/h or more than other nearby vehicles, the warning is not operated.
➁ Lane change assist
When vehicles are approaching to your vehicle at high speed, the warning is operated.
➂ Rear cross traffic alert
When your vehicle moves backward, the sensor detects approaching vehicles to the left or right side direction and warning is operated.
WARNING
