FCA warning message and
system control
The FCA produces warning messages
and warning alarms in accordance with the collision risk levels of followings like
vehicle’s sudden braking in front or lack
of vehicle to vehicle distance or collision to pedestrians. Also, it controls the
brakes in accordance with the collision
risk levels.
Forward warning (1st warning)
The warning message appears on the
LCD display with the warning alarms.

- The brake control activates within an arranged limit to ease the im‐
pact from a collision.
Emergency braking (3rd warning)
• The warning message appears on the LCD display with a warning alarm.
• The vehicle will reduce its speed to a certain limit.
- The brake control activates within an arranged limit to ease the im‐
pact from a collision. Maximum
brake control is activated just be‐
fore the collision.
Brake operation
• In an urgent situation, the braking system enters into the ready status
for prompt reaction against the driv‐ er’s depressing the brake pedal. • The FCA provides additional braking
power for optimum braking perform‐
ance, when the driver depresses the
brake pedal.
• The braking control is automatically deactivated, when the driver sharplydepresses the brake pedal, or when
the driver abruptly operates the
steering wheel.
• The braking control is automatically canceled, when risk factors disappear.
CAUTION
The driver should always pay greatcaution to vehicle operation, eventhough there is no warning messageor warning alarm.
WARNING
The FCA cannot avoid all collisions.The FCA might not completely stopthe vehicle before collision, due toambient, weather and road condi‐tions. The driver has the responsibili‐ty to drive safely and control the ve‐hicle.

LANE DEPARTURE WARNING (LDW) SYSTEM (IF EQUIPPED)
0:#%
This system detects the lane with the
sensor at the front windshield and warns you when your vehicle leaves the
lane.
WARNING
•The Lane Departure Warning(LDW) System does not make thevehicle change lanes. It is the driv‐er's responsibility to always checkthe road conditions.
(Continued)
(Continued)
•Do not turn the steering wheelsuddenly, when the Lane Depar‐ture Warning (LDW) System warnsyou that your vehicle is leaving thelane.
•If the sensor can not detect thelane or if the vehicle speed doesnot exceed 60km/h, the Lane De‐parture Warning (LDW) Systemwon't warn you even though thevehicle leaves the lane.
•If your vehicle has window tint orother types of coating and acces‐sory on the front windshield, theLane Departure Warning (LDW)System may not work properly.
•Do not let water or any kind of liq‐uid come in contact with the LaneDeparture Warning (LDW) Systemsensor.
•Do not remove the Lane DepartureWarning (LDW) System parts anddo not affect the sensor by astrong impact.
•Do not put objects that reflectlight on the dash board.

• Use your air conditioning sparingly.The air conditioning system is oper‐
ated by engine power so your fuel economy is reduced when you use it.
• Open windows at high speeds can re‐ duce fuel economy.
• Fuel economy is less in crosswinds and headwinds. To help offset some
of this loss, slow down when driving
in these conditions.
Keeping a vehicle in good operating
condition is important both for econo‐
my and safety. Therefore, have the system serviced by a professional
workshop.
Kia recommends to visit an authorized
Kia dealer/service partner.
WARNING
nEngine off during motion
Never turn the engine off to coastdown hills or anytime the vehicle isin motion. The power steering andpower brakes will not function prop‐erly without the engine running. In‐stead, keep the engine on and down‐

SPECIAL DRIVING CONDITIONS
Hazardous driving conditions
When hazardous driving conditions are
encountered such as water, snow, ice, mud, sand, or similar hazards, follow
these suggestions: • Drive cautiously and allow extra dis‐ tance for braking.
• Avoid sudden braking or steering.
• When braking with non-ABS brakes pump the brake pedal with a light up-
and-down motion until the vehicle is stopped.
WARNING
nABS
Do not pump the brake pedal on avehicle equipped with ABS.
• If stalled in snow, mud, or sand, use second gear. Accelerate slowly to
avoid spinning the drive wheels.
• Use sand, rock salt, tire chains, or other non-slip material under the
drive wheels to provide traction when
stalled in ice, snow, or mud.
WARNING
nDownshifting
Downshifting with an automatictransaxle, while driving on slipperysurfaces can cause an accident. Thesudden change in tire speed couldcause the tires to skid. Be carefulwhen downshifting on slippery sur‐faces.
Rocking the vehicle
If it is necessary to rock the vehicle to
free it from snow, sand, or mud, first turn the steering wheel right and left
to clear the area around your front
wheels. Then, shift back and forth be‐ tween 1st (First) and R (Reverse) in ve‐
hicles equipped with a manual transaxle
or R (Reverse) and any forward gear in
vehicles equipped with an automatic transaxle. Do not race the engine, and
spin the wheels as little as possible. If
you are still stuck after a few tries, have the vehicle pulled out by a tow ve‐
hicle to avoid engine overheating and
possible damage to the transaxle.
CAUTION
Prolonged rocking may cause engineover-heating, transaxle damage orfailure, and tire damage.
WARNING
nSpinning tires
Do not spin the wheels, especially atspeeds more than 56 km/h (35mph). Spinning the wheels at highspeeds when the vehicle is station‐ary could cause a tire to overheatwhich could result in tire damagethat may injure bystanders.
NOTICE
The ESC system (if equipped) should
be turned OFF prior to rocking the
vehicle.

To keep locks from freezing
To keep the locks from freezing, squirt
an approved de-icer fluid or glycerine
into the key opening. If a lock is covered with ice, squirt it with an approved de-
icing fluid to remove the ice. If the lock
is frozen internally, you may be able to thaw it out by using a heated key. Han‐
dle the heated key with care to avoid
injury.
Use approved window washer
anti-freeze in system
To keep the water in the window wash‐
er system from freezing, add an ap‐ proved window washer anti-freeze sol‐
ution in accordance with instructions on
the container. Window washer anti- freeze is available from an authorized
Kia dealer/service partner and most au‐
to parts outlets. Do not use engine
coolant or other types of anti-freeze asthese may damage the paint finish.
Don't let your parking brake
freeze
Under some conditions your parking brake can freeze in the engaged posi‐
tion. This is most likely to happen when
there is an accumulation of snow or ice around or near the rear brakes or if the
brakes are wet. If there is a risk the
parking brake may freeze, apply it only temporarily while you put the shift lev‐
er in P (automatic transaxle) or in first
or reverse gear (manual transaxle) and block the rear wheels so the vehicle
cannot roll. Then release the parking
brake.
Don't let ice and snow
accumulate underneath
Under some conditions, snow and ice
can build up under the fenders and in‐ terfere with the steering. When driving
in severe winter conditions where this
may happen, you should periodically check underneath the car to be sure
the movement of the front wheels and
the steering components is not ob‐ structed.
Carry emergency equipment
Depending on the severity of the
weather, you should carry appropriate
emergency equipment. Some of the items you may want to carry include
tire chains, tow straps or chains, flash‐
light, emergency flares, sand, shovel, jumper cables, window scraper, gloves,
ground cloth, coveralls, blanket, etc.
