Subaru Forester: Safe Exit Assist (SEA) / Safe Exit Assist operation. Warning and control

For additional information about the Electronic child safety lock button, refer to the Electronic child safety lock system section.

If you press the Electronic child safety lock button within 10 seconds after the warning message appears, the Kia Telluride interprets this as the driver's intentional decision to unlock the rear doors after checking surrounding traffic. The Electronic child safety lock switches OFF as indicated by the button, allowing the rear doors to open. Always confirm that it is safe before overriding the protection.

If a rear door is opened from outside the vehicle, it can still be opened regardless of Safe Exit Assist operation.

• For safety, adjust Kia Telluride driver assistance settings only while the vehicle is parked in a safe location.

• Safe Exit Assist may not display a warning message or sound an audible alert if another driver assistance system is already displaying a warning or generating a warning tone.

• Warning sounds may be difficult to hear in noisy surroundings or when loud audio is playing inside the vehicle.

• Safe Exit Assist cannot detect every possible hazard and is not capable of preventing every collision scenario.

• Depending on road, traffic, and environmental conditions, Safe Exit Assist may issue a delayed warning or may not provide a warning. Always visually check your surroundings before opening a door.

• The driver and all passengers remain responsible for ensuring it is safe to exit the Kia Telluride. Never rely solely on the assistance system.

• Do not intentionally test or misuse Safe Exit Assist, as doing so could lead to serious injury or death.

• After the Kia Telluride is turned OFF, Safe Exit Assist continues operating for approximately 3 minutes. The function switches OFF immediately once the vehicle doors are locked.

• The illustrations, icons, and colors shown on the instrument cluster may differ depending on the cluster design, software version, or selected display theme.
