Driving your vehicle
The Autonomous Emergency
Braking (AEB) system is designed to
detect and monitor the vehicle ahead
or detect a pedestrian in the roadway
through radar signals and camera
recognition to warn the driver that a
collision is imminent, and if neces-
sary, apply emergency braking.✽ ✽NOTICE
Take the following precautions when
using the Autonomous Emergency
Braking (AEB):
• This system is only a supplemental
system and it is not intended to,
nor does it replace the need for
extreme care and attention of the
driver. The sensing range and
objects detectable by the sensors
are limited. Pay attention to the
road conditions at all times.
• NEVER drive too fast in accor- dance with the road conditions or
while cornering.
• Always drive cautiously to prevent unexpected and sudden situations
from occurring. AEB does not stop
the vehicle completely and is not a
collision avoidance system.
System Setting and Activation
System setting
The driver can activate the AEB by
placing the ignition switch to the ON
position and by selecting 'User
Settings', 'Driving Assist', and 'AEB
(Autonomous Emergency Braking
System)'. The AEB deactivates, when
the driver deselects the system set-
ting.
AUTONOMOUS EMERGENCY BRAKING (AEB) (IF EQUIPPED)
WARNING- Autonomous
Emergency Braking (AEB)
Limitations
The AEB system is a supple-
mental system and is not a sub-
stitute for safe driving prac-
tices. It is the responsibility of
the driver to always check the
speed and distance to the vehi-
cle ahead to ensure it is safety
to use the AEB system.

The warning light illumi-
nates on the LCD display,
when you cancel the AEB
system. The driver can
monitor the AEB ON/OFF status on
the LCD display. If the warning light
remains ON when the AEB is acti-
vated, have the system checked by
an authorized Kia dealer.
The driver can select the initial warn-
ing activation time in the User
Settings in the Driver LCD display.
The options for the initial Forward
Collision Warning include the follow-
ing: SLOW - When this condition is
selected, the initial Forward
Collision Warning is activat-
ed slower than normal. This
setting reduces the amount
of distance between the
vehicle ahead before the
initial warning occurs.
MEDIUM - When this condition is
selected, the initial
Forward Collision
Warning is activated nor-
mally. This setting allows
for a nominal amount of
distance between the
vehicle ahead before the
initial warning occurs.
FAST - When this condition is selected, the initial Forward
Collision Warning is faster
than normal. This setting
maximizes the amount of
distance between the vehi-
cle ahead before the initial
warning occurs.

Prerequisite for activation
The AEB system is on and ready
when AEB is selected on the LCD
display and when the following pre-
requisites are satisfied:
- The ESC (Electronic StabilityControl) or TCS (Traction Control
System) is activated.
- Driving speed exceeds approxi- mately 6 mph (10 km/h). (The AEB
is only activated within a certain
speed range.)
- The system detects a pedestrian or a vehicle in front, which may collide
with your vehicle. (The AEB may
not be activated or may sound a
warning alarm in accordance with
the driving situation or vehicle con-
dition.) The AEB automatically activates
upon placing the ignition switch to
the ON position. The driver can
deactivate the AEB by canceling
the system setting on the LCD dis-
play.
The AEB automatically deactivates when canceling the ESC
(Electronic Stability Control). When
the ESC is canceled, the AEB can-
not be activated on the LCD dis-
play.
AEB Warning Message and
System Control
The AEB produces warning mes-
sages and warning alarms in accor-
dance with the collision risk levels,
such as abrupt stopping of the vehi-
cle in front, insufficient braking dis-
tance, or pedestrian detection. Also,
it controls the brakes in accordance
with the collision risk levels.
WARNING
Do not attempt to set or cancel
the AEB while your vehicle is
moving. Set or cancel the AEB
with controlling switches on
steering wheel after stopping
the vehicle in a safe place for
your safety.

Brake operation
In an urgent situation, the brakingsystem enters into the ready status
for prompt reaction against the dri-
ver’s depressing the brake pedal.
The AEB provides additional brak- ing power for optimum braking per-
formance, when the driver depress-
es the brake pedal.
The braking control is automatical- ly deactivated, when the driver
sharply depresses the brake pedal,
or when the driver abruptly oper-
ates the steering wheel.
The AEB braking control is auto- matically canceled, when risk fac-
tors disappear. The driver should always use
extreme caution while operating the
vehicle, whether or not there is a
warning message or alarm from the
AEB system.
✽ ✽
NOTICE
The AEB operates in accordance
with the risk levels, such as the dis-
tance from the vehicle/passer-by in
front, the speed of the vehicle/pass-
er- by in front, and the driver's vehi-
cle operation.
WARNING
The AEB cannot avoid all colli-
sions. The AEB might not com-
pletely stop the vehicle before
collision, due to ambient weath-
er and road conditions. The
driver has the responsibility to
drive safely and control the
vehicle.

AEB Front Radar Sensor
In order for the AEB system to oper-
ate properly, always make sure the
radar sensor lens cover is clean and
free of dirt, snow, and debris. Dirt,
snow, or foreign substances on the
lens may adversely affect the sens-
ing performance of the radar.
Warning message and warning
light
When the sensor lens cover is
blocked with dirt, snow, or debris, the
AEB system operation may stop tem-
porarily. If this occurs, a warning mes-
sage will appear on the LCD display.
Remove any dirt, snow, or debris and
clean the radar sensor lens cover
before operating the AEB system.
The AEB may not properly operate in
an area (e.g. open terrain), where
any substances are not detected
after turning ON the engine.
✽ ✽ NOTICE
• Do not apply foreign objects such
as a bumper sticker or a bumper
guard near the radar sensor.
Doing so may adversely affect the
sensing performance of the radar.
• Always keep the radar sensor and lens cover clean and free of dirt
and debris.
• Use only a soft cloth to wash the vehicle. Do not spray pressurized
water directly on the sensor or
sensor cover.
• Be careful not to apply unneces- sary force on the radar sensor or
sensor cover. If the sensor is
forcibly moved out of proper
alignment, the AEB system may
not operate correctly. In this case,
a warning message may not be dis-
played. Have the vehicle inspected
by an authorized Kia dealer. (Continued)

dealer.
• Use only genuine Kia parts to repair or replace a damaged sen-
sor or sensor cover. Do not apply
paint to the sensor cover.System Malfunction When the AEB is not working prop-
erly, the AEB warning light ( )
will illuminate and the warning
message will appear for a few sec-
onds. After the message disap-
pears, the master warning light

The AEB may unnecessarily produce
warning messages and warning
alarms. Due to the sensing limitation,
the AEB may not produce warning
messages or warning alarm at all.
When there is a malfunction with the AEB, the braking control does
not operate upon detecting a colli-
sion risk even with other braking
systems normally operating.
The AEB operates only for the vehicle / pedestrian in front, while
driving forward. It does not operate
for any animals or vehicles in the
opposite direction.
WARNING
The AEB is only a supplemen-tal system for the driver’s con-
venience. The driver still main-
tains responsibility to control
the vehicle. Do not solely
depend on the AEB system.
Rather, maintain a safe braking
distance, and, if necessary,
depress the brake pedal to
lower the driving speed.
The AEB cannot recognize cross-traffic or parked vehi-
cles presenting a side-profile.
You must maintain a safe
braking distance, and if nec-
essary, depress the brake
pedal to reduce the driving
speed in order to maintain a
safe distance.

(Continued)
The brake control may beinsufficient, possibly causing
a collision, if a vehicle in front
abruptly stops. Always pay
extreme caution.
Occupants may get injured, if the vehicle abruptly stops by
the activated AEB system. Pay
extreme caution.
