This New KIA Feature Keeps An Eye On The Valet While Parking- Does This If Crashed…

To safeguard against such issues KIA has had the foresight to provide their vehicle with a valet mode feature

Several videos of valet managers taking the cars for a joy ride flock the internet. Often the novelty of being able to drive a superior vehicle leads the valet’s to commit mistakes and damage the car. A similar video that was recently uploaded online showcased a valet taking a Audi Q5 or a Q8 to a joy Ride after the user handed him the keys.

Its probable that the dynamics of a big vehicle like that or the fact that the Audi had a fast acceleration led the car to understeer and run into a lamp post. The car went through a lot of damage as it appears in the video.

To safeguard against such issues KIA has had the foresight to provide their vehicle with a valet mode feature. You can switch the mode on before handing your car over to valet, once you switch on the mode the car would record the duration of the drive as well as the total km’s the car ran before coming to a halt.

While the feature does not limit the prowess of the vehicle in any manner it gives the owner the details of how long the vehicle was used in their absence. If in case something happens such a feature would allow you to report such necessary details and probably report on the valet providers.

How To Use the Valet Mode If Equipped-

With the valet mode a owner can track valet mode start time, Engine off time as well as the driving distance / hours and maximum vehicle speed that the vehicle went after the activation.

To Switch on the Valet Mode

You would have to scroll through the main menu and choose the Valet mode. once chosen it would ask you to create a password.

Step 2- Once you have finalized a password your valet mode would activate and start to trace the vehicle run time as well as the highest speed it goes before it comes to an halt. These would help you keep an eye on the vehicle even if you are not driving it.

How Do Others Deal With It

While in Indian scenario Valets are allowed to join without any former training in places such as Monaco where the valets would have to park expensive and exquisite cars they are only hired after extensive training. Beyond the extensive training the valets are hired only if they have a proven body of work before the said opportunity.

Here is a video of how trained Monaco’s valet’s are
