- Averted collisions in most pedestrian and bicycle owner take a look at circumstances
- Gives further safety for pedestrians behind the automobile
The Lane Assist System (LSS) was praised for its light steering corrections and extra assertive interventions in essential conditions to forestall unintended street departure. Euro NCAP famous that general LSS efficiency was “good.”
The Velocity Help System (SAS) makes use of digital maps and a forward-facing digital camera to determine native pace limits and current clear info to the motive force, enabling applicable pace administration.
A typical seatbelt reminder for each entrance seats additional enhances security compliance.
The PV5’s five-star achievement displays Kia’s superior electrified platform engineering, high-rigidity physique construction and safety-optimized packaging rules utilized throughout the PBV lineup.
