Safety is always a priority when buying a vehicle, but it's paramount if you're in the market for an MPV that you plan to use as a family transport. One thing the 2024 Kia Carnival is not short of across all five trim levels is safety features. Let’s explore seven of the best safety features, both passive and active intelligent, available on the 2024 Kia Carnival, an outstanding family ride. more 1. Seatbelts, Airbags, and Passive Restraints The 2024 Kia Carnival boasts passive restraint features aplenty. All models include 3-point seatbelts for all seats, front seatbelt pretensioners (reducing the chance of fatalities), front seatbelt height adjustment, and the LATCH child seat attachment system. Every Carnival trim also has a dual front advanced airbags system, which not only activates airbags but controls inflation according to the predicted impact severity. There are front and rear side airbags, full-length side curtain airbags for window coverage, and a driver's knee airbag. 2. Optimized Stability To keep the vehicle steady and improve handling under tough driving conditions, the Kia Carnival deploys clever technologies like Vehicle Stability Management (VSM) and Electronic Stability Control (ESC). ESC applies braking to individual wheels where the most force is needed, and reduces engine power to levy some additional control for the driver. 3. Collision-Avoidance Assist The Kia Carnival uses cameras and sensors to warn you of possible accidents and even applies the brakes to prevent them if necessary. This Kia "Drive Wise" technology comes in two main forms: Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist and Rear Cross-Traffic Collision-Avoidance Assist. The latter is handy if you need to reverse out of a space with poor visibility, as it can effectively see traffic likely to cross your path from the bumper. 4. Blind Spot Collision Avoidance System Another part of the Kia Drive Wise collection of driver-assist technologies, the Blind Spot Collision Avoidance System is installed at all trim levels. It uses radar-based detection to apply brakes if you're about to collide with someone in your blind spot. 5. Lane Safety All trim levels get Lane Departure Warning, Lane Keeping Assist, and Lane Following Assist. The last two are similar, but Lane Following Assist uses cameras and sensors to maintain a safe distance from vehicles ahead while you're using Smart Cruise Control. 6. Driver Attention Warning (DAW) Kia's Driver Attention Warning (DAW) analyses your usual driving patterns and warns you if it senses irregularities. This is a particular asset if you're going on long family road trips, for instance. 7. Safe Exit Assist Safe Exit Assist is a great thing to have in an MPV because it stops passengers from leaving the vehicle when traffic is approaching from behind. All Carnival trims have this invaluable function. When it comes to keeping you and your passengers safe, Kia doesn't cut corners at any trim level. All Kia Carnivals include a wide array of advanced safety equipment and tech. Visit Auffenberg Kia in Shiloh, IL to discover which Kia Carnival is the right choice for you.

While car batteries deliver about 12 volts of electricity, the engine's spark plugs need thousands of volts to ignite the fuel inside the cylinders hundreds of times per minute. Ignition coils massively magnify the battery's voltage, allowing the spark plugs to do their job. If your car ever experiences a coil malfunction, you'll see a variety of vehicle problems. Your local Kia dealer can promptly repair these issues. But a little knowledge goes a long way, so here are 6 signs of a faulty ignition coil. more Misfiring Spark Plugs When a fouled or faulty ignition coil fails to deliver the necessary voltage to its corresponding spark plug, that spark plug will stop firing properly. This misfiring will cause the engine to cough and shake, especially when driving at high speeds on the highway on resting in idle. While you're waiting at traffic lights, your car might even stall. Trouble Starting Your Car Whenever you start the engine, both the starter and spark plugs need a reliable surge of electricity. If a malfunctioning coil can't deliver this voltage, the engine won't start. As a coil first falters, you might initially notice your engine becoming slower to turn over. That's the time to head straight to your nearest dealership to have the coils checked. Plummeting Engine Power When one coil dies, its cylinder will no longer properly function. Without all cylinders firing reliably, your car's engine may lose a significant amount of power, and you'll find it harder to accelerate. How much power you lose depends on how badly the coil is malfunctioning and also on the overall number of cylinders in the engine. Falling Fuel Economy While a bad coil leads to misfiring spark plugs, the fuel injector is still sending fuel into the combustion chamber. But this fuel is no longer igniting properly, leading to various problems, including dropping gas mileage. Black Smoke from the Tailpipe The excess unburned fuel that results from misfiring spark plugs can start to leak back into the car's exhaust system. Therein, the fuel can suddenly combust or partially ignite, causing black smoke to emerge from the car's tailpipe. Check Engine Light The many problems caused by a failing coil will usually trigger the check engine light to appear on the dashboard. This light should never be ignored; a trusted technician can quickly identify and resolve the root problem. Your Kia Dealer Can Clean, Repair, or Replace Your Car's Coils Depending on how damaged your faulty coil is, the technician might be able to restore it to working function. Sometimes coils can be cleaned, repaired, or refurbished. However, the costs of testing, dissembling, reassembling, and ordering parts will often outweigh the cost of simply purchasing and installing a brand-new coil. Visit Auffenberg Kia in Shiloh, IL today to have your malfunctioning coils repaired or replaced. We're a local full-service dealership providing the region's drivers with great cars, great deals, and great customer care.
