FORWARD COLLISION-AVOIDANCE ASSIST (FCA) SYSTEM (IF EQUIPPED)
The FCA system is to reduce or to avoid
accident risk. It recognizes the distance
from the vehicle ahead or the pedes‐ trian through the sensors (i.e. radar
and camera), and, if necessary, warns
the driver of accident risk with the warning message or the warning
alarms.
WARNING
Take the following precautions whenusing the Forward Collision-Avoid‐ance Assist (FCA) System:•This system is only a supplemen‐tal system and it is not intendedto, nor does it replace the need forextreme care and attention of thedriver. The sensing range and ob‐jects detectable by the sensors arelimited. Pay attention to the roadconditions at all times.
•NEVER drive too fast in accordancewith the road conditions or whilecornering.
(Continued)
(Continued)
•Always drive cautiously to preventunexpected and sudden situationsfrom occurring. FCA does not stopthe vehicle completely and doesnot avoid collisions.
System setting and activation
System setting
The driver can activate the FCA by plac‐
ing the ignition switch to the ON posi‐
tion and by selecting 'User Settings', 'Driving Assist', and 'Forward Collision-
Avoidance Assist (FCA)'. The FCA deac‐
tivates, when the driver cancels the system setting.
The warning light illuminates on the LCD display, when youcancel the FCA system.
The driver can monitor the FCAON/OFF status on the LCD display.
When the warning light remains ON
with the FCA activated, have the sys‐tem checked by a professional work‐
shop. Kia recommends to visit an au‐
thorized Kia dealer/service partner. The driver can select the initial warning
activation time in the User Settings and Driving Assist in the instrument cluster
LCD display. The options for the initial
Forward Collision Warning include the following:
• EARLY - When this condition is se‐
lected, the initial Forward
Collision Warning is activa‐ted earlier than normal.This setting maximizesthe amount of distance
between the vehicle or
pedestrian ahead beforethe initial warning occurs.
• NORMAL - When this condition is se‐
lected, the initial Forward
Collision Warning is activa‐ted normally. This settingallows for a nominalamount of distance be‐
tween the vehicle or pe‐
destrian ahead before theinitial warning occurs.
• LATE - When this condition is se‐ lected, the initial Forward
Collision Warning is activa‐ted later than normal.
This setting reduces theamount of distance be‐

WARNING
The FCA operates in accordance withthe risk levels, such as the distancefrom the vehicle/passer-by in front,the speed of the vehicle/passer-byin front, and the driver's vehicle op‐eration.
Sensor to detect the distance
from the vehicle in front (front
radar)
0:#%
The sensor is to maintain a certain dis‐
tance from the vehicle in front. Howev‐ er, the smudged sensor lens with for‐
eign substances, such as snow and rain,
adversely affects the sensing perform‐ ance. It may even temporarily cancel
the FCA. Always keep the sensor lens
clean.
Warning message and warning light
0:#-
When the sensor cover or the sensor
lens is smudged with the foreign sub‐ stances, such as snow or rain, the FCA
operation may temporarily stop. In this
case, the warning message appears to warn the driver.
This is not a malfunction with the FCA.
To operate the FCA again, remove the
foreign substances.
If the sensor is smudged entirely or no object is sensed (in an open terrain
etc.), The FCA might not operate nor‐
mally.

NOTICE
•Do not install any accessories,
such as license plate molding or
sticker, on the sensor area. Nor ar‐
bitrarily replace the bumper.
Those may adversely affect the
sensing performance.
•Always keep the sensor/bumper
area clean.
•Use only soft clothes to wash the
vehicle. Also, do not spray highly-
pressurized water on the sensor
installed on the bumper.
•Be careful not to apply unnecessa‐
ry force on the frontal sensor
area. When the sensor moves out
of the correct position due to ex‐
ternal force, the system may not
normally operate even without the
warning light or message. In this
case, have the vehicle inspected by
a professional workshop. Kia rec‐
ommends to visit an authorized
Kia dealer/service partner.

•Use only the genuine Kia sensor
cover. Do not arbitrarily apply
paint on the sensor cover.
System malfunction
0:#-
• When the FCA is not working proper‐ly, the FCA warning light () will illu‐
minate and the warning message will
appear for a few seconds.
After the message disappears, the
master warning light (
) will illumi‐
nate. In this case, have the vehicle in‐
spected by a professional workshop.
Kia recommends to visit an author‐
ized Kia dealer/service partner. • The FCA warning message may ap‐
pear along with the illumination of
the ESC warning light.
WARNING
•The FCA is only a supplementalsystem for the driver’s conven‐ience. The driver should hold theresponsibility to control the vehicleoperation. Do not solely depend onthe FCA system. Rather, maintaina safe braking distance, and, ifnecessary, depress the brake ped‐al to lower the driving speed.
•The FCA may unnecessarily pro‐duce the warning message and thewarning alarms. Also, due to thesensing limitation, the FCA maynot produce the warning messageand the warning alarm at all.
•When there is a malfunction withthe FCA, the braking control doesnot operate upon detecting a colli‐sion risk even with other brakingsystems normally operating.

•The FCA operates only for the ve‐hicle / pedestrian in front, whiledriving forward. It does not oper‐ate for any animals or vehicles inthe opposite direction.
•The FCA does not recognize thevehicle, which horizontally drivesacross the crossroad, or the vehi‐cle, which is parked in the horizon‐tal direction.
Limitation of the system
The FCA is an assistant system for a
driver in a certain risky driving condition
and it does not take every responsibili‐ ty for all risks from driving condition.
The FCA monitors the driving situations
through the radar and the camera sen‐
sor. Thus, for a situation out of the sensing range, the FCA may not nor‐
mally operate. The driver should pay
great caution in the following situa‐ tions. The FCA operation may be limi‐
ted.
Recognizing vehicles
- The radar or the camera is contami‐
nated with foreign substances.
- It heavily rains or snows. -
There is interruption by electric
waves.
- There is severe irregular reflection
from the radar.
- The vehicle in front has a narrow
body. (i.e. motor cycle and bicycle)
- The driver’s view is unclear due to
the backlight, the reflected light, or
darkness.
- The camera cannot contain the full
image of the vehicle in front.
- The vehicle in front is a special vehi‐
cle, such as a heavily-loaded truck or
a trailer.
The vehicle in front does not turn ON
the rear lights, does not have rear
lights, has asymmetric rear lights, or
has rear lights out of angle.
- The outside brightness is greatly
changed, such as entering/exiting the tunnel.
- The vehicle driving is unstable.
- The radar/camera sensor recognition
is limited.
- Driving on unpaved and uneven road
surfaces, or through sudden gradient changes. -
In construction zones or on railroad
tracks, or there are metallic objects
on the road.
- Driving indoors such as in an under‐
ground parking lot.
- Driving on a curve
The FCA performance decreases
while driving on a curve. The FCA may
not recognize the vehicle in front even in the same lane. It may unnec‐
essarily produce the warning mes‐
sage and the warning alarm, or it
may not produce the warning mes‐
sage and the warning alarm at all.
While driving on a curve, pay great caution, and, if necessary, depress
the brake pedal.

-When the stopped vehicle in front
gets out of the lane, it may not be
recognized by your FCA. Always pay great attention.
- Recognizing the vehicle
When the vehicle in front has heavy
loading extended rearward, or when
the vehicle in front has higher ground clearance, it may induce a hazardous
situation.
Recognizing pedestrians
- The pedestrian is not fully captured
by the camera sensor, or the pedes‐
trian does not walk in the upright po‐ sition.
- The pedestrian moves very fast.
- The pedestrian abruptly appears in
front.
- The pedestrian wears clothes in the
color similar to the background.
- The outside is too bright or too dark.
- The vehicle drives at night or in the
darkness.
- There is an item similar to a person’s
body structure.
- The pedestrian is small.
- The pedestrian has impaired mobility.
- It is difficult to distinguish the pedes‐
trian from the surroundings.
- The sensor recognition is limited. -
There is a group of pedestrians.
WARNING
•Cancel the FCA in the User Set‐tings on the LCD display, beforetowing another vehicle. While tow‐ing, the brake application may ad‐versely affect your vehicle safety.
•Pay great caution to the vehicle infront, when it has heavy loadingextended rearward, or when it hashigher ground clearance.
•The sensor only detects pedes‐trian, not carts, bicycles, motorcy‐cles, luggage bags, or strollers.
•The FCA does not operate in a cer‐tain situation. Thus, never test-operate the FCA against a personor an object. It may cause a severeinjury or even death.
•When reinstalling the windshield orLane Departure Warning (LDW)camera after replacement or re‐moval, have the vehicle inspectedby a professional workshop. Kiarecommends to visit an authorizedKia dealer/service partner.
