Parking distance warning-
reverse precautions
The parking distance warning-
reverse system may not sound
consistently depending on the
speed and shapes of the objects
detected.
The parking distance warning- reverse system may malfunction if
the vehicle bumper height or sen-
sor installation has been modified
or damaged. Any non-factory
installed equipment or accessories
may also interfere with the sensor
performance.
The sensor may not recognize objects less than 40 cm (15 in.)
from the sensor, or it may sense an
incorrect distance. Use caution.
When the sensor is frozen or cov- ered with snow, dirt, or water, the
sensor may be inoperative until the
material is removed using a soft
cloth.
To prevent damage, do not push, scratch or strike the sensor.
✽ ✽ NOTICE
This system can only sense objects
within the range and location of the
sensors. It cannot detect objects in
other areas where sensors are not
installed. Also, small or slim objects,
such as poles or objects located
between sensors may not be detected
by the sensors. Pay close attention
when the vehicle is driven close to
objects on the road, particularly
pedestrians, and especially children.
Always visually check behind the
vehicle when backing up.
Be sure to inform any drivers of the
vehicle that may be unfamiliar with
the system regarding the system’s
capabilities and limitations.
Self-diagnosis
If you don’t hear an audible warning
sound or if the buzzer sounds inter-
mittently when shifting the gear to the
R (Reverse) position, this may indi-
cate a malfunction in the parking dis-
tance warning-reverse system. If this
occurs, have your vehicle checked by
an authorized Kia dealer as soon as
possible.
✽ ✽NOTICE
Your new vehicle warranty does not
cover any accidents or damage to
the vehicle or injuries to its occu-
pants. Always drive safely and cau-
tiously.

the lights on for a prolonged time while
the engine is not running.
WARNING - High beams
Do not use high beam when
there are other vehicles in front
of your vehicle. Using high
beam could obstruct the other
driver’s vision.

CAUTION
Never place anything over the sensor (1) located on theinstrument panel as this willensure better auto-light sys-tem control.
Do not clean the sensor using a window cleaner as the clean-er may leave a light film whichcould interfere with the sen-sor's operation.
If your vehicle has window tint or other types of metallic coat-ing on the front windshield,the Auto light system may notwork properly.

The FCA system is designed to
detect and monitor a vehicle ahead
in the roadway through camera
recognition to warn the driver that a
collision is imminent, and if neces-
sary, apply emergency braking.System setting and activation
System setting
When the ignition switch is turned
on, Forward Collision-Avoidance
Assist (FCA) automatically gets acti-
vated. The system can be deactivat-
ed if the driver cancels the system
from the instrument panel as follows
: 'User settings → Driving assist →
Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist'
FORWARD COLLISION-AVOIDANCE ASSIST (FCA) (CAMERA TYPE) (IF EQUIPPED)
WARNING
Take the following precautions
when using the Forward
Collision-Avoidance Assist
(FCA) system:
This system is only a supple-
mental 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 condi-
tions or while cornering.
Always drive cautiously to prevent unexpected and sud-
den situations from occur-
ring. FCA does not guarantee
to stop the vehicle completely
and does not guarantee to
avoid all collisions.
WARNING
Camera type FCA system does
not operate for pedestrians in
front.

FCA front view camera sensor
The sensor is designed to maintain a
certain distance from the front end of
the vehicle.
However, a sensor covered or dirty
with foreign substances, such as dirt,
snow, adversely affects the sensing
performance. It may even temporari-
ly cancel the FCA. Always keep the
sensor and its external parts clean.
WARNING
The FCA system is a supple-
mental system and cannot com-
pletely stop the vehicle in all sit-
uations and avoid all collisions.
It is the responsibility of the
driver to safely drive and con-
trol the vehicle.
WARNING
The FCA system assesses the
risk of a collision by monitoring
several variables, such as the
distance to the vehicle ahead,
the speed of the vehicle ahead,
and the driver's operation of the
vehicle.
Certain conditions such as
inclement weather and road
conditions and systems limita-
tions may affect the operation
of the FCA system.OBD058015
WARNING
Never deliberately drive danger-
ously to activate the system as
such conduct increases the risk
of an accident.

Warning message and warninglight
When the sensor is covered or the
sensor lens is dirty with foreign sub-
stances, such as snow or rain, the
FCA system may not be able to
detect vehicles. In this case, a warn-
ing message ("Forward Collision-
Avoidance Assist (FCA) system dis-
abled. Camera blocked") will appear
to notify the driver. Remove the for-
eign substances to allow the FCA
system to function property.
This is not a malfunction with the
FCA. To operate the FCA again,
remove the foreign substances. The FCA may not properly operate in
an area (e.g. open terrain), where
any vehicles or substances are not
detected after turning ON the engine.
✽ ✽
NOTICE
• Always keep the sensor clean and
free of dirt and debris.
• Be careful not to apply unneces- sary force on the sensor. If the sen-
sor is forcibly moved out of proper
alignment, the FCA system may
not operate correctly. In this case,
a warning message may not be dis-
played. In this case, have the vehi-
cle inspected by an authorized Kia
dealer.
• Use only genuine parts to repair or replace a damaged
• Do not tint the window or install stickers, 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 camera components. (Continued)
