If there is a problem with the sys-
tem a message will appear. If the
problem continues the LKA system

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.

If you press BCW/BCA button
while 'Active assist' or 'Warning
only' is selected the indicator on
the button extinguishes and the
system deactivates.
If you press BCW/BCA button while the system is cancelled the
indicator on the button illuminates
and the system activates. In this
case, the system returns to the
state before the engine turned off.
When the system is initially turned
on and when the engine is turned
off then on again while the system
is in activation, the warning light
will illuminate for 3 seconds on the
outside rearview mirror. If the engine is turned off then on
again, the system maintains the
previous state.
The driver can select the initial warning activation time in the AVN
by selecting "AVN → Settings →
Vehicle →Driver assistance →
Warning timing"
The options for the initial Blind- Spot Collision Warning includes
the following:
- Normal:
When this condition is selected,the initial Blind-Spot Collision
Warning is activated normally. If
this setting feels too sensitive
change the option to 'later'.
The warning activation time may feel late if the side/rear vehicle
abruptly accelerates. - Later:
Select this warning activation
time when the traffic is light and
you are driving in a low speed.
However, if you change the warn-
ing activation time, the warning
activation time of vehicle's other
system may also change. Check
the warning activation time before
changing it.
