SPEED LIMIT CONTROL SYSTEM (IF EQUIPPED)
You can set the speed limit when you
do not want to drive over a specific
speed.
If you drive over the preset speed limit, the warning system operates (set
speed limit will blink and chime will
sound) until the vehicle speed returns within the speed limit.
NOTICE
While speed limit control is in opera‐
tion, the cruise control system can‐
not be activated.
Speed limit control switch
O: Cancels set speed limit.
: Turns speed limit control sys‐ tem on or off.
RES+ : Resumes or increases speed
limit control speed.
SET- : Sets or decreases speed limit
control speed.
To set speed limit:
1. Press the speed limit button
twice on the steering wheel, to
turn the system on.
The speed limit indicator light will
illuminate.
2. Move the lever down (to SET-).

3. Move the lever up (to RES+) ordown (to SET-), and release it at
the desired speed. Move the lever
up (to RES+) or down (to SET-) and
hold it. The speed will increase or
decrease by 5 km/h (3 mph).
The set speed limit will be displayed.
To drive over the preset speed limit you
must depress hard on the accelerator pedal (more than approximately 80%)
until the kick down mechanism works
with a clicking noise. Then the set speed limit will blink and chime will
sound until you return the vehicle
speed within the speed limit.
NOTICE
•Depressing the accelerator pedal
less than approximately 50%, the
vehicle will not speed over the pre‐
set speed limit but maintain the
vehicle speed within the speed lim‐
it.
•A clicking noise heard from the
kick down mechanism by depress‐
ing the accelerator pedal fully is a
normal condition.
To turn off the speed limit
control, do one of the following:

Driving your vehicle

• Press the speed limit switch once
again.
• Press the cruise switch (If you press cruise switch, the cruise system will
turn on)
If you press the O switch once, the set speed limit will cancel, but it will not
turn the system off. If you wish to re‐
set the speed limit, move the lever up (to RES+) or down (to SET-) to the de‐
sired speed.CAUTION
The "OFF" indicator will blink if thereis a problem with speed limit controlsystem.If this occurs, have the systemchecked by a professional workshop.Kia recommends to visit an author‐ized Kia dealer/service partner.

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‐

Driving your vehicle

-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.
