Kia safety features are designed to help protect what matters most. From everyday driver-assist technology to available advanced parking systems, Kia vehicles use cameras, radar, sensors, and smart engineering to help you stay more aware on the road.
At Haddad Kia, we’re here to help Bakersfield drivers understand the safety technology available across the Kia lineup, including Kia Drive Wise, Kia’s advanced driver assistance system.
Advanced Driver Assistance Systems
What Is Kia Drive Wise?
Think of Drive Wise as Kia's full collection of Advanced Driver Assistance Systems, or ADAS. It's not just one feature; it's a whole suite of tools designed to work together, helping monitor your surroundings, flag potential hazards, and step in with a little extra help when it counts.
Some features come standard across many trims. Others are available as you move up the lineup. Either way, it's technology worth knowing about before you shop.

Kia Drive Wise Safety Features
Here's a look at driver assistance features you'll commonly find across the Kia lineup, from everyday confidence features to available advanced safety systems.
Common Kia Safety Features
Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist
Keeps an eye on vehicles, pedestrians, and cyclists ahead and can apply braking assistance if a potential collision is detected.
Lane Keeping Assist
Notices when your vehicle starts drifting out of its lane and may offer a gentle steering nudge to bring you back.
Lane Following Assist
Uses camera technology to help your Kia stay centered in its lane, which is great for long stretches of open road.
Driver Attention Warning
Monitors driving patterns and can suggest a rest break if it picks up signs of reduced attention or fatigue behind the wheel.
Rear Cross-Traffic Collision-Avoidance Assist
Backs you up, literally. Helps detect approaching cross traffic when reversing and can assist with braking if needed.
Smart Cruise Control with Stop & Go
Maintains a set following distance and can slow, stop, or pick back up with traffic, so highway drives feel a little less exhausting.
Available Advanced Safety Features
These features may be included on higher trim levels or available packages. Availability varies by model, so ask us what's on the specific Kia you have your eye on.
Blind-Spot Collision-Avoidance Assist
Helps keep tabs on your blind spots and can alert you or assist with braking to reduce the risk of a side collision during lane changes.
Highway Driving Assist
Pairs lane-centering with adaptive cruise to help take some of the effort out of longer highway drives.
Safe Exit Assist
Gives rear passengers a heads-up if a vehicle or cyclist is approaching before they open a door. A small feature that can make a big difference.
Feature availability varies by model and trim level. Not all features are available on all vehicles. See your Haddad Kia sales consultant for details.
