Driving your vehicle
✽ ✽NOTICE
• Do not install any accessories,
such as license plate molding or
sticker, on the sensor area. Nor
arbitrarily 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 unneces- sary force on the frontal sensor
area. When the sensor moves out
of the correct position due to
external force, the system may not
normally operate and may not
provide a warning light or mes-
sage. In this case, have the vehicle
inspected by an authorized Kia
dealer.
• Use only the genuine Kia sensor cover. Do not arbitrarily apply
paint on the sensor cover. (Continued)(Continued)
• Do not tint the window or install
stickers, or accessories around the
inside mirror where the camera is
installed.
• Make sure the frontal camera installation point does not get wet.
• Do not impact or arbitrarily remove any radar/camera compo-
nents.
• Do not place reflective objects(white paper or mirror etc.)
on the dashboard.
The system may unnecessarily
activate or deactivate due to
reflection of the sunlight.
• Excessive audio system volume may prevent occupants from hear-
ing the FCA system warning
alarm.
System malfunction
When the FCA is not working prop-
erly, the FCA warning light ( ) will
illuminate and the warning mes-
sage will appear for a few seconds.
After the message disappears, the
master warning light ( ) will illu-
minate. In this case, have the vehi-
cle inspected by an authorized Kia
dealer.

The FCA system will get deactivat-
ed for the sake of driver's safety
when the ESC warning light comes
on. The FCA warning message will
appear at the same time, too. But
that doesn't necessarily mean the
malfunction of the FCA system.
Both FCA warning light and warning
message will disappear once the
ESC warning light issue is resolved.(Continued)
The FCA system only recog-nizes vehicles and pedestri-
ans in front of it while driving
forward. It does not identify
any animals or vehicles in the
opposite direction.
The FCA does not recognize cross-traffic or parked vehi-
cles presenting a side profile.
If the vehicle in front stops suddenly, you may have less
control of the brake system.
Therefore, always keep safe
distance between your vehicle
and the vehicle in front of you.
The FCA system may activate during braking and the vehicle
may stop suddenly. And the
load in the vehicle may endan-
ger passengers. Therefore,
always be mindful of the load
volume in the vehicle.
(Continued)WARNING
The FCA is only a supplemen-tal system for the driver’s con-
venience. It is the driver's
responsibility to control the
vehicle. Do not solely depend
on the FCA system. Rather,
maintain a safe braking dis-
tance, and, if necessary,
depress the brake pedal to
lower the driving speed.
The FCA may unnecessarily produce the warning message
and the warning alarms. Also,
due to sensing limitations the
FCA may not produce alarms
in certain situations. Read the
section “Limitation of the sys-
tem” for more information.
When there is a malfunction with the FCA, the FCA braking
control does not operate upon
detecting a collision risk even
with other braking systems
normally operating.

Recognizing vehicles
- The radar or the camera is con-
taminated with foreign substances.
- It heavily rains or snows.
- There is electromagnetic interfer- ence
- Something in the path of travel deflects the radar waves
- The vehicle in front has a narrow body. (i.e. motor cycle and bicycle)
- The driver’s view is not clear due to backlight, reflected light, or dark-
ness.
- The camera cannot contain the full image of the vehicle in front.
- The vehicle in front is a special vehicle, such as a heavily-loaded
truck or a trailer.
- The outside brightness is greatly changed, such as entering/exiting
a tunnel.
- The vehicle driving is unstable.
- The radar/camera sensor recogni- tion is limited. - The driver's field of view is not well
illuminated (either too dark or too
much reflection or too much back-
light that obscures the field of view)
- There is severe irregular reflection from the radar sensor
- The vehicle in front is driving errat- ically
- The vehicle is driven near areas containing metal substances such
as a construction zone, railroad,
etc.
- Backlight is reflected in the direc- tion of the vehicle (including front
light from the vehicle ahead)
- Moisture on the windshield is not completely removed or frozen.
- The weather is misty.
- 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. - Driving on a curve
The FCA performance may be limit-
ed while driving on a curve. The FCA
may not recognize the vehicle in front
even if in the same lane.It may pro-
duce the warning message and the
warning alarm prematurely, or it may
not produce the warning message or
the warning alarm at all. When driv-
ing on a curve, exercise caution,
maintain a safe braking distance,
and if necessary, depress the brake
pedal to reduce your driving speed in
order to maintain a safe distance.

Driving your vehicle
The FCA system may recognize a
vehicle in an adjacent lane when driv-
ing on a curved road. In this case, the
system may apply the brake. Always
pay attention to road and driving con-
ditions while driving. If necessary,
depress the brake pedal to reduce
your driving speed in order to main-
tain a safe distance. Also, when nec-
essary, you may depress the acceler-
ator pedal to prevent the system from
unnecessarily decelerating your vehi-
cle. Always check the traffic condi-
tions around the vehicle.- Driving on a slope
The FCA performance may be limit-
ed while driving upward or downward
on a slope, and may not recognize a
vehicle in front in the same lane. It
may produce the warning message
and the warning alarm prematurely,
or it may not produce the warning
message and the warning alarm at
all.
When the FCA suddenly recognizes
the vehicle in front while passing
over a slope, you may experience
sharp deceleration.
Always keep your eyes forward while
driving upward or downward on a
slope, and, if necessary, depress the
brake pedal.- Changing lanes
When a vehicle changes lanes in
front of you, the FCA system may not
immediately detect the vehicle, espe-
cially if the vehicle changes lanes
abruptly. In this case, you must main-
tain a safe braking distance, and if
necessary, depress the brake pedal
to reduce your driving speed in order
to maintain a safe distance.

• When you replace the windshieldglass, front view camera or sys-
tem, take your vehicle to an
authorized Kia dealer and have
the system checked to need a cali-
bration.
• The system is designed to detect lane markers using a front view
camera. If the lane markers are
hard to detect, then the system
may be limited. Always be cau-
tious when using the system.
• When the lane markers are hard to detect, please refer to “Driver’s
Attention”.
• Do not remove or damage the related parts of LKA.
• Do not place objects on the dash- board that reflects light such as
mirrors, white paper, etc. This
may prevent the system from
functioning. (Continued)(Continued)
• You may not hear warning sound
of LKA because of the excessive
audio sound.
• If you continue to drive with your hands off the steering wheel, the
LKA system will stop controlling
the steering wheel after the hands
off alarm. Afterwards, if you drive
with your hands on the steering
wheel, the control will be activated
again.
• If the vehicle speed is high, steer- ing torque for assistance will not
be enough to keep your vehicle
within the lane. If so, the vehicle
may move out of its lane. Obey
speed limit when using LKA.
• If you attach objects to the steer- ing wheel, the system may not
assist steering.
• If you attach objects to the steer- ing wheel, hands off alarm may
not work properly.LKA operation
