Valet parking mode
Activate this mode before handing it over to someone and it will let you monitor the vehicle’s location, driving time, distance and top speed using the Kia Connect App. With Geo-fence alerts it will even alert you when the vehicle strays outside of pre-set limits of geographical areas.

Emergency call
In case of an accident where the airbag is deployed, this feature will automatically contact the Kia Connect 24/7 call centre for your safety. The dedicated SOS button allows you to call the centre yourself if necessary.
