How does parking collision-avoidance assist work?
Parking collision-avoidance assist uses sensors around your Kia to detect obstacles when you’re either backing up or driving out of a parking space. If the system senses an imminent collision, it first issues a warning to alert you. If you don’t respond quickly enough, PCA can apply the emergency brakes to prevent or minimize the impact. This feature can help protect your vehicle from dents, scratches, and other damage that can happen while maneuvering in and out of parking spaces.
Turning PCA on and off in your car
If you ever need to turn the parking collision-avoidance assist feature off, it’s easy to do so. Simply press and hold the parking safety button on your dashboard. When you’re ready to use PCA again, press the button once more, and the feature will be reactivated.
Key benefits of parking collision-avoidance assist
- Enhanced safety: PCA helps you avoid small accidents that can lead to costly repairs or insurance claims.
- Greater parking confidence: With PCA, you can navigate parking spaces with more assurance, knowing that your Kia has an extra level of protection.
- Convenient and easy to use: The on/off parking safety button gives you full control over when PCA is active, so you can easily adapt it to your parking needs.
