Choose Kia to Prioritize Your Safety

When you’re looking for your next vehicle, you want to ensure that it’s capable of keeping you and your passengers safe. Kia has a lengthy reputation for prioritizing safety on the road, and at Briggs Kia, you can find your comfortable and safe Kia vehicle. Our dealership, located in Topeka, KS, is the premier destination for new and certified pre-owned Kia vehicles, and we want to help you find yours. But first, let’s introduce you to the plethora of safety and driver assistance features you can look forward to in your Kia vehicle.

Guide to Kia Safety Features

Not all safety features are technologically advanced. The body of a Kia is built with high-strength steel that absorbs impact energy during a collision, helping to minimize bodily harm. The steel is also lighter than expected, allowing for a more aerodynamic drive.

Kia vehicles are also full of advanced safety features, including:

• Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist: This system warns the driver if a collision is detected and applies the emergency brakes if necessary.
• Smart Cruise Control with Stop & Go: This feature allows you to preset a distance from the vehicle ahead of yours, automatically adjusting your vehicle’s speed to maintain a safe distance.
• Blind-Spot Collision Warning: Sensors are used to monitor your vehicle’s blind spots, alerting you if a potential collision is detected.
• Rear Cross-Traffic Collision-Avoidance Assist: When your vehicle is in reverse, this feature will warn you if a vehicle is approaching from the sides, applying the brakes itself if necessary.
• Lane Keeping Assist and Lane Following Assist: This feature will help you stay in your lane, gently correcting you to avoid straying and keeping you on track.
• Driver Attention Warning: If your Kia notices signs of fatigue or distraction, the DAW system will suggest taking a break.
• Safe Exit Assist:This feature prevents you from opening the doors when another vehicle is detected.
• High Beam Assist:This system automatically adjusts your high beams on the road when another vehicle is detected, keeping you from blinding a fellow driver.

While the high-tech safety features are helpful and convenient, it’s always good to remember the basics. Some passive safety features that your Kia utilizes are:

• Seatbelt Pretensioners: To keep you safe in the event of a collision, the seat belts in your Kia tighten right before impact, keeping you and your passengers well-positioned for the airbags and braced for impact.
• ISOFIX Child-Seat Anchors: Child safety is of the utmost importance, which is why the ISOFIX anchors keep the child seats securely fastened.
• Airbags: Driver/passenger seat airbags, driver knee airbags, curtain airbags, and front-rear side airbags help minimize bodily harm in the event of a collision.
