What child-friendly features does the Kia K5 offer?
Parents will enjoy the following features to keep their young drivers safe on the road:
- Geofence Alert: This feature allows parents to set virtual boundaries, known as geofences, on a map within the Kia Connect app. They can designate specific areas where their teen should or shouldn’t be driving. When the Kia K5 equipped with the app-based telematics system enters or exits these predefined geofenced areas, the Geofence Alert will send a notification to the parents’ connected device, providing them with real-time updates on their teen’s location and ensuring they are aware of their driving whereabouts.
- Curfew Alert: The Curfew Alert feature helps parents keep track of their teen’s adherence to designated driving hours. Parents can set a curfew time within the Kia Connect app, specifying when their teen should be off the road. If the Kia K5 is driven outside the set curfew time, the Curfew Alert will send an alert to the parents, notifying them of the violation and allowing them to address the situation promptly.
- Speed Alert: With the Speed Alert feature, parents can monitor their teen’s driving speed. They can set a maximum speed limit within the Kia Connect app, and if the Kia K5 exceeds that predefined speed, the Speed Alert will trigger an alert to the parents’ connected device. This feature helps parents ensure that their teens drive responsibly and within the speed limits, promoting safer driving habits.
