2022 Kia Telluride Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist and Lane-Keeping Assist

The 2022 Kia Telluride has a lot of high-tech safety features, like the Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist (FCA) and Lane Keeping Assist (LKA) systems, which work together to make the car safer for passengers and easier to drive. Sensors and cameras in the Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist system watch the road ahead for possible accidents with other cars or people walking. When a danger is detected, it can let the driver know and, if necessary, apply the brakes automatically to lessen the impact or completely avoid a crash. To go along with this, the Lane Keeping Assist system uses the same kind of sensors to keep an eye on where the car is in the lane and help the driver keep it straight. By gently steering the car back into its lane when it drifts out of its lane, these systems not only improve safety but also make driving more confident and relaxed. They show how the 2022 Kia Telluride is committed to protecting its passengers and other drivers on the road.
