Just purchased a 2023 Kia Soul...nooo, I will not use this feature when I am driving it! 😮

New feature in 2023 Kia Soul

[@chuckles1972]

Yeah I bought this car the 2023 Kia Soul last Thursday and just discovered the self driving and the adaptive cruise control. And it has so many safety features my insurance drop $20 from my 2018 ELANTRA.

@@chuckdriver8269 oh, wow… that’s awesome! 😃👍

[@real100talk5]

It is very useful for long road trips or driving home from work on the highway after a long day. It does make the drive less tiring at the end.

[@danaspetrini8338]

I think its a fantastic safety feature! Can't wait to get my Soul!

So I have a 2023 and I use it every time I drive..However you are supposed to have your hands on the wheel and you keep control but it just keeps you in the center of the lane

She does keep her hands on the wheel though.

Just bought a 2023 soul. I tested this around a turn. It worked very well. Not something I would use, but it did what it was supposed to.

I have it on my 2024 Kia Soul and I checked it out on a pretty curvy road and it works perfectly. However I know how to drive so I will not be using that. What I really needed though was blind spot detect and that's awesome. If you're driving along and someone comes up on your blind spot it lights up the mirror. However IF the same thing occurs when you turn on your directional it gives you an audible warning as well. The reason people really need this is because these mirrors on small vehicles are about the size of a large postage stamp. BTW the 2024 still has a donut for a spare it hasn't been eliminated here in the states. I can't believe the remainder of the Kia product line doesn't even have ANY spare, period. Yeah they give you a can of gunk. But you can purchase them separate to try first but if they don't work there's nothing like a REAL spare.

[@erinbricker-urbanhistorian5803]

I have the blind spot detection, and if you turn the blinker on either way, and there’s a car beside you, it will blink in the mirror and make a beeping sound and warn me

[@toddbartnicki1041]

How many miles does your range say after fillup?

[@erinbricker-urbanhistorian5803]

Not sure, but probably pretty good

[@toddbartnicki1041]

Shouldn't the system put you back in the right lane?

It Usually does

How do you engage the self driving feature?

[@erinbricker-urbanhistorian5803]

I’m not sure… I don’t use it…. Only my daughter does sometimes when she drives.

[@bardigan1]

it's a button on the steering wheel.
