Blind-Spot Collision-AvoidanceAssist (BCA) system
The Blind-Spot Collision-Avoidance
Assist System (BCA) may apply
braking power, when an approaching
vehicle is detected within a certain
distance next to/behind your vehicle. It gently applies braking power on the
tire, which is located in the opposite
side of the possibly-colliding point.
The instrument cluster will inform the
driver of the system activation.
Blind-Spot Collision-Avoidance Assist
System (BCA) is automatically deacti-
vated when:
- The vehicle drives a certain dis-
tance away
- The vehicle direction is changed against the possible-colliding point
- The steering wheel is abruptly moved
- The brake pedal is depressed
- After a certain period of time
The driver should drive the vehicle in
the middle of the vehicle lanes to
keep the system in the ready status.
When the vehicle drives too close to
one side of the vehicle lanes, the
system may not properly operate.
In addition, the system may not prop-
erly control your vehicle in accor-
dance with driving situations. Thus,
always pay close attention to road
situations.
CAUTION
The driver should always use extreme caution while operat-ing the vehicle, whether or notthe warning light on the out-side rearview mirror illumi-nates or there is a warningalarm.
Playing the vehicle audio sys- tem at high volume may offsetthe Blind-Spot CollisionWarning System warningsounds.
The warning of the Blind-Spot Collision Warning System maynot sound while other sys-tem's warning sounds.

Detecting Sensor (Camera and
Radar)Front camera
The front camera is a sensor detect-
ing the lane. If the sensor is covered
with snow, rain or foreign substance,
the system may temporarily be can-
celled and not work properly until the
cancellation due to the degradation
of the sensor's detection perform-
ance. Always keep the sensor clean.
* Refer to Lane Keeping Assist (LKA) System for cautions for the front
camera sensor.
Rear Corner Radars
The Rear Corner Radars are the
sensors inside the rear bumper for
detecting the side/rear areas. Always
keep the rear bumper clean for prop-
er operation of the system.
WARNING
The driver is responsible for accurate steering.
Do not unnecessarily operate the steering wheel, when the
Blind-Spot Collision-Avoidance
Assist System is in operation.
Always pay extreme caution while driving. The Blind-Spot
Collision-Avoidance Assist
System may not operate or
unnecessarily operate in
accordance with your driving
situations.
The Blind-Spot Collision- Avoidance Assist System is
not a substitute for safe driv-
ing practices, but a conven-
ience function only. It is the
responsibility of the driver to
always drive cautiously to
prevent unexpected and sud-
den situations from occur-
ring. Pay attention to the road
conditions at all times.

What to do in an emergency
If the engine stalls at a cross-
road or crossing
If the engine stalls at a crossroad or
crossing, set the shift lever in the N
(Neutral) position and then push the
vehicle to a safe place.
If you have a flat tire while
driving
If a tire goes flat while you are driv-
ing:
1. Take your foot off the acceleratorpedal and let the vehicle slow
down while driving straight ahead.
Do not apply the brakes immedi-
ately or attempt to pull off the road
as this may cause a loss of con-
trol. When the vehicle has slowed
to such a speed that it is safe to do
so, brake carefully and pull off the
road. Drive off the road as far as
possible and park on firm level
ground. If you are on a divided
highway, do not park in the median
area between the two traffic lanes. 2. When the vehicle is stopped, turn
on your emergency hazard flash-
ers, set the parking brake and put
the transmission in P.
3. Have all passengers get out of the vehicle. Be sure they all get out on
the side of the vehicle that is away
from traffic.
4. When changing a flat tire, follow the instruction provided later in
this section.
If the engine stalls while driv-
ing
1. Reduce your speed gradually,keeping a straight line. Move cau-
tiously off the road to a safe place.
2. Turn on your emergency flashers.
3. Try to start the engine again. If your vehicle will not start, contact
an authorized K900 Kia dealer or
seek other qualified assistance.
✽ ✽NOTICE
If there was a check engine light and
loss of power or stall and if safe to do
so, wait at least 10 seconds to restart
the vehicle after it stalls. This may
reset the car so it will no longer run
at low power (limp home) condition.
