Kia Drive Wise gives your Kia vehicle many incredible driver assistances features that do a whole lot to make your ride safer. One of these is Kia Collision-Avoidance Assist. Let's take a look at everything this feature does and what features work alongside it. Understanding Kia Collision-Avoidance Assist Collision-Avoidance Assist is designed to monitor the road ahead of you and let you know when it's likely that you'll crash into a pedestrian or another driver. When the vehicle's cameras and radar sensors detect a collision is likely, you'll hear an audible warning, and your steering wheel will vibrate. This lets you know it's time to apply the brake pedal or steer yourself out of danger. You can turn this feature off if you like. You can toggle it on and off by going to the settings on your infotainment system, selecting vehicle, selecting driver assistance, and selecting forward safety. Active Assist Mode When on, you can have it, so Collision-Avoidance Assist only gives you a warning when a probable collision is detected. You'll do all the work on your own to get yourself back safety. However, you can also select an active assist mode, allowing your car to help you apply enough braking power or steering torque to get out of the dangerous situation. Your vehicle can also engage Autonomous Emergency Braking, if equipped, which lets your car fully brake by itself when necessary. It can also add extra braking force if you're braking and the vehicle detects your efforts aren't enough to prevent a crash. The Other Features That Work with Collision-Avoidance Assist Junction Turning The feature can also work when you're at a junction and there's a vehicle approaching with its turn signal on. Your car can engage the brakes to avoid a collision, if necessary. Lane-Change Oncoming If there's a vehicle approaching you when you're changing lanes, then the Lane-Change Oncoming function, if equipped, can help you steer out of the situation. This aims to help you avoid a collision. Junction Crossing Vehicles may unexpectedly approach from the left or right side when you're attempting to cross at an intersection. If your car detects this happening, then it'll apply the brakes by itself when you have Junction Crossing equipped. Evasive Steering Assist If your car has Evasive Steering Assist, then it can help you avoid collisions with motorists, cyclists, and pedestrians that are in front of your vehicle. Evasive Steering Assist works with Collision-Avoidance Assist to send you a warning and then assist your steering to get you back to safety. It'll only be engaged if there's enough space to avoid a collision by steering out of the situation. Do you want to make sure your next vehicle has Collision-Avoidance Assist?

While driving, any kind of fluid problem is bad for your car, but issues with the brake fluid could put you in immediate danger on the road. Without sufficient quantity and quality of brake fluid, your car's stopping power is suddenly reduced, which could easily lead to a collision. With this in mind, always follow optimal Kia brake fluid maintenance guidelines, as laid out below. What Does Brake Fluid Do? Most vehicle fluids serve primarily as lubricants, but brake fluid is different. The most important role of brake fluid is to maintain a high level of hydraulic pressure inside the brake lines. When you press the brake pedal, your foot's stopping signal shoots instantly along the brake lines to the calipers, carried there by the brake fluid. You can see that any kind of brake fluid problem hinders your ability to promptly stop your car. If the fluid grows too old or leaks, the hydraulic pressure diminishes, and you can no longer stop your car as reliably as before. Have Your Brake Fluid Checked Twice a Year Always use good quality brake fluid, as recommended in your owner's manual. Also, have your brakes inspected twice a year, if not more frequently. A full brake inspection will include an examination of each brake line under the hood and beneath your car. The fluid will also be checked and topped up or flushed if required, and each part of the braking system will be analyzed for indications of wear and tear. Signs of Leaking Brake Fluid While on the road, always pay attention to how your brakes feel. Does the pedal feel firm underfoot and is your car slowing and stopping promptly? If you ever suspect weakening brakes or the pedal feels softer and a little spongy, you might have a leak in one of your brake lines. As it's clearly unsafe to drive with a brake fluid leak, you should pull over carefully and call a trusted technician to help you find and fix the leak. The brake fluid will also need to be topped up once again before your car is safe to drive. Further Symptoms of Fluid Problems If your brake fluid is low, leaking, or deteriorating because of age, you're likely to see the brake warning light appear on your dashboard; this is one warning light not to be ignored. It's also possible that your car will also pull to one side if the fluid issue impacts one braking mechanism more than the others. Has it been more than six months since your last brake inspection? Visit Coughlin Kia of Lancaster in Lancaster, OH, to have your brake fluid checked and topped up or changed. Whatever your vehicle maintenance or repair needs, our seasoned technicians can keep your car running like new for many years to come.

Your Kia has a highly efficient cooling system that helps control the temperature inside the engine compartment. Combustion and the constant movement of countless components generate large quantities of heat, and the cooling system removes this heat to prevent damage to sensitive engine components. We want to give you a few examples of signs you need to visit us for Kia cooling system maintenance. Signs You Need Kia Cooling System Maintenance at Your Kia Dealer Coolant Leak Coolant is pumped under high pressure through your cooling system. As it moves, it absorbs heat radiating from the engine. The heat is locked away inside the coolant and transported to the radiator. Once the coolant enters the radiator, it enters rows of thin metal tubes. Airflow through the grille passes over the tubes and removes the heat, allowing the coolant to resume its ending journey through your engine. In time, worn or damaged cooling system components can leak. As coolant is lost, pressure in the system drops, and the remaining coolant slows. This causes your engine temperature to rise. Fortunately, a coolant leak is usually easy to spot as coolant comes in a range of bright colors like pink, orange, and blue. If you spot a leak, contact us ASAP so we can find and seal the leak and protect your engine from damage. Worn Hoses The radiator connects to the cooling system through two rubber hoses, one at the top and the other at the bottom of the radiator. These hoses are made from high-strength reinforced rubber, as they must routinely carry coolant that easily reaches temperatures of 300 F or more. However, even reinforced rubber can become damaged over time. The rubber hoses lose flexibility, resulting in cracks that deepen and widen and eventually create a leak. In addition, the metal clamps that securely connect the hoses to the radiator can rust or wear out. This causes coolant to spray onto the radiator and other components, and your engine will start to overheat. Our technicians will replace worn or damaged hoses, and we can easily replace damaged clamps and re-secure the hoses. Damaged Water Pump Coolant is released into your engine when its internal temperature reaches a pre-set level. Once this happens, the thermostat opens, releasing coolant. The water pump automatically starts pumping the coolant through the engine to remove heat. As time passes, the water pump can wear out, preventing the coolant from moving. Without a working pump, the coolant can't move and absorb heat, and you'll see your engine temperature gauge rapidly increase. We'll test the pump and replace it if it's failed, and the engine temperature will return to normal. If you have a cooling system problem, contact our service department right away at Coughlin Kia of Lancaster in Lancaster, OH.
