Hi all. So I was looking to see if I could find reviews of the Niro's Drive Wise features (that's what they call the tech package, technically). I came across this video and found my jaw was hanging off the floor. Amazing! (And scary!!)
you're right never seen it called thatSome of it is Drive Wise. http://www.kia.com/us/en/vehicle/niro/2017/drivewise tech
I'm wondering about mine too?? I have a pile of tires in front of where I park my Niro and it used to beep at me....it doesn't anymore???? Going to have to make an appointment with the Dealer I guess.Question -- Does Auto Braking only work with Cruise Control.
Based on my testing with and without cruise control:
When I was not on Cruise Control I would have hit the stopped car in front of me as I approached it had I not used the brake.
When I was on Cruise Control, it slowed and stopped a few car lengths before the stopped cars in front of me.
Could be my system is broke and should be working when not on Cruise Control???
when driving normally it doesn't slow down like on smart cruise control, however, it does have pedestrian warnings and collisions warnings which help it slow down in case of imminent crash (I think), I saw a video about it but couldn't find it.Question -- Does Auto Braking only work with Cruise Control.

I unintentionally shut off the parking sensor once, I noticed the light was off when it had stopped beeping for me so maybe check that.I'm wondering about mine too??
