WARNING

Always check the surrounding traffic before opening any door. If Safe Exit is turned off, Safe Exit Assist cannot provide warnings or protective assistance.

CAUTION

  • Do not rely on the system while towing a trailer or another vehicle, or when using a cargo carrier or equipment that may interfere with sensor operation or alter vehicle balance. Under these conditions, Safe Exit Assist may not function as intended.

  • When a trailer or carrier is connected, configure the trailer/carrier menu if your Kia Telluride is equipped with this feature. If the connection is detected automatically using genuine Kia components or selected manually by the driver, certain driver assistance functions may operate with limitations. Refer to the Driver Assistance System limitations section and always drive carefully.

NOTE

Safe Exit Assist remembers its previous setting, so the function remains enabled or disabled after the vehicle is restarted.

Kia Telluride (LQ2, 2027-2026) Owner's Manual: Trailer Stability Assist (TSA)

Kia Telluride (LQ2, 2027-2026) Owner's Manual: Wiper blades

Blade inspection Buildup of road film, dead insects, tree sap, or leftover car wash wax treatments on either the windshield surface or rubber wiper blades can compromise clearing efficiency and cause annoying streaking. If the wipers fail to wipe smoothly across the glass, clean both the glass panel and the flexible blade elements thoroughly using a quality automotive glass cleaner or mild soap solution, then rinse completely with clean water.
