5109
Driving your vehicle
When the conditions below are met,
LKA will be enable to assist steering.
Vehicle speed is above 40 mph (64km/h).
Both lane markers are detected by LKA.
The vehicle is between the lane markers.
If LKA can assist steering, a green
LKA indicator will illuminate.
If the vehicle moves out its lane
because steering torque for assis-
tance is not enough, the line indica-
tor of deviation direction will blink
and the warning sound or steering
wheel vibration warning is provided.
If the driver takes hands off the steer-
ing wheel for several seconds while
the LKA is activated, the system will
warn the driver.
WARNING
The warning message mayappear late according to road
conditions. Therefore, always
have your hands on the steer-
ing wheel while driving.
If you hold the steering wheel lightly, the system would gen-
erate hands off warning
because LKA system can
treat the situation as you do
not grab the wheel.

ed by the system, the driver may
control the steering.
• The steering wheel may feel heav- ier when the steering wheel is
assisted by the system than when it
is not.
The system will be canceled when:
You change lanes with the turn sig-
nal.
- Using the turn signal to changelanes.
- If you change lanes without the turn signal on, the steering wheel
might be controlled.
LKA system can transit to steering assist mode when the car is near
to middle of the lane after system
on or the lane was changed. LKA
system can not assist steering if
the vehicle follows lane marker too
close continuously before transi-
tion to steering assist mode.
The control of ESC (Electronic Stability Control) or VSM (Vehicle
Stability Management) is activated.
The steering will not be assisted when your drive fast on a sharp
curve.
WARNING
The LKA system is a supple-mental system only. It is the
responsibility of the driver to
safely steer the vehicle and to
maintain it in its lane.
Even though the steering is assisted by the system, the
driver may control the steer-
ing wheel.
Turn off the LKA system and drive without using the sys-
tem in the following situa-
tions:
- In bad weather
- In bad road condition
- When the steering wheelneeds to be controlled by the
driver frequently.

• The distance from the vehicle ahead is very short or the vehicle
ahead drives hiding the lane line
or road edge.
• You drive on a steep grade or a sharp curve.
• The vehicle vibrates heavily.
• The temperature near inside mir- ror is very high due to direct sun
light and etc.
  when front visibility is poor
• The lens or windshield is covered by strange materials.
• The sensor cannot detect the lane because of fog, heavy rain or snow.

If there is a problem with the sys-
tem a message will appear. If the
problem continues the LKA system
fail indicator will illuminate.
WARNING
The Lane Keeping Assist
System is a system to help pre-
vent the driver from leaving the
lane. However, the driver should
not solely rely on the system
but always take the necessary
actions for safe driving prac-
tices.

LKA system fail indicator
The LKA system fail indicator (yel-
low) will illuminate if the LKA system
is not working properly. In this case,
have the system checked by an
authorized K900 Kia dealer.
LKA system function change
The driver can change LKA to Lane
Departure Warning (LDW) or change
the LKA mode from the AVN.
Lane Keeping Assist
The LKA mode guides the driver to
keep the vehicle within the lanes. It
rarely controls the steering wheel,
when the vehicle drives well inside
the lanes. However, it starts to con-
trol the steering wheel, when the
vehicle is about to deviate from the
lanes.
Lane Departure Warning
LDW alerts the driver with a visual
and acoustic warning when the sys-
tem detects the vehicle leaving the
lane. In this mode, the system will not
provide steering inputs. When the
vehicle’s front wheel contacts the
inside edge of lane line, LKA issues
the lane departure warning.

The Forward Collision-Avoidance
Assist-Lane-Change Oncoming func-
tion detects the oncoming vehicle
with a front view camera at the front
wihdshield. And it assists the driver’s
steering to help avoiding the collision
to oncoming vehicle and keeping the
vehicle in the lanes, when the vehicle
drives over the centerline.Function operation
Driver can activate(or deactivate) the
function from the AVN:
'AVN →Settings →Vehicle →Driver
assistance →Forward Collision-
Avoidance Assist (FCA)’ For further
details, refer to [System setting] in
this chapter, [FCA].
Warning message and func-
tion control
After FCA is on, vehicle speed is over 60 kph (37 mph) and if the
vehicle across the centerline even
though the oncoming vehicle
approacing, this warning message
appears on the LCD display with
audible warning.
Additionally, provides steering assist to return vehicle back into
lanes.
FORWARD COLLISION-AVOIDANCE ASSIST-LANE-CHANGE ONCOMING FUNCTION (FCA)
WARNING
This function is only a supple-mental system. So, it does not
replace the need for extreme
care and attention of the driv-
er. The sensing range of
oncoming vehicle is limited.
Pay attention to the road con-
ditions at all times.
Always drive cautiously to prevent unexpected and sud-
den situations from occur-
ring. The function does not
steer the vehicle completely
and is not a collision avoid-
ance system.

System description
Blind-Spot Collision Warning (BCW)
The Blind-Spot Collision Warning
System (BCW) uses radar sensors in
the rear bumper to monitor and warn
the driver of an approaching vehicle
in the driver's blind spot area.
1) Blind-Spot Area
The blind spot detection range varies
relative to vehicle speed.
Note that if your vehicle is traveling
much faster than the vehicles around
you, the warning will not occur. 2) Closing at high speed
The Lane Change Assist feature will
alert you when a vehicle is approach-
ing in an adjacent lane at a high rate
of speed. If the driver activates the
turn signal when the system detects
an oncoming vehicle, the system
sounds an audible alert.
Blind-Spot Collision-Avoidance
Assist (BCA)
The Blind-Spot Collision-Avoidance
Assist System (BCA) detects the
front lane through the camera
installed on the upper front wind-
shield and detects the side/rear
areas through radar sensors.
The Blind-Spot Collision-Avoidance
Assist System may activate the
Electronic Stability Control (ESC) in
accordance with a colliding possibili-
ty with an approaching vehicle while
changing lanes. It is to lower the col-
liding risk or mitigate the colliding
damage.
