AUTONOMOUS EMERGENCY BRAKING (AEB) (IF EQUIPPED)
The AEB system is designed to
reduce or to avoid accident risk. It
recognizes the distance from the
vehicle ahead or the pedestrian
through the sensors (i.e. radar and
camera), and, if necessary, warns
the driver of accident risk with the
warning message or the warning
alarms.System setting and activation
System setting
The driver can activate the AEB by
placing the engine start/stop button
to the ON position and by selecting
'User Settings', 'Driving Assist', and
'Autonomous Emergency Braking
System'. The AEB deactivates, when
the driver cancels the system setting.
WARNING
Take the following precautions
when using the Autonomous
Emergency Braking (AEB) sys-
tem:
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 driv-
er. The sensing range and
objects detectable by the sen-
sors 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. AEB does not stop the
vehicle completely and does
not avoid collisions.

Driving your vehicle
The warning light illumi-
nates on the LCD display,
when you cancel the AEB
system. The driver can
monitor the AEB ON/OFF status on
the LCD display. When the warning
light remains ON with the AEB acti-
vated, have your vehicle inspected
by an authorized Kia dealer.
The driver can select the initial warn-
ing activation time in the User
Settings in the instrument cluster
LCD display. The options for the ini-
tial Forward Collision Warning
include the following:
When this setting is select-
ed, the initial Forward
Collision Warning is acti-
vated earlier than normal.
This setting maximizes the
amount of distance
between the vehicle or
pedestrian ahead before
the initial warning occurs. If
the driver feels this setting
is too sensitive to activate
than expectation, change it
to Normal. If the vehicle in
front stops abruptly, the
driver can notice the warn-
ing alarm is late even
though the early option is
selected.
selected, the initial
Forward Collision
Warning is activated nor-
mally. This setting allows
for a smaller amount of
distance between the
vehicle or pedestrian
ahead before the initial
warning occurs com-
pared to the EARLY set-
ting.
ed, the initial Forward
Collision Warning is activat-
ed later than normal. This
setting reduces the amount
of distance between the
vehicle or pedestrian ahead
before the initial warning
occurs. The driver can use it
when the traffic is not busy
on the road and driving
speed is lower.

Driving your vehicle
AEB warning message and
system control
The AEB produces warning mes-
sages, warning alarms, and emer-
gency braking based on the level of
risk of a frontal collision, such as
when a vehicle ahead suddenly
brakes, when there is no following dis-
tance from the vehicle in front, or
when it detects a collision with a
pedestrian is imminent.
Forward Warning (1st warning)
The warning message appears on
the LCD display with the warning
alarms.
Collision Warning (2nd warning)
The warning message appears onthe LCD display with the warning
alarms.
The AEB applies the brakes within certain limit to reduce the impact
from a collision.

Emergency braking (3rdwarning)
• The warning message appears on
the LCD display with the warning
alarms.
The AEB controls the brakes with- in certain limit to reduce the impact
from the collision.
The AEB controls the maximum
brakes just before the collision.
Brake operation
In an urgent situation, the brakingsystem enters into the ready status
for prompt reaction against the dri-
ver’s depressing the brake pedal.
The AEB system provides addi- tional braking power for optimum
braking performance, when the
driver depresses the brake pedal.
The braking control is automatical- ly deactivated, when the driver
sharply depresses the accelerator
pedal, or when the driver abruptly
operates the steering wheel.
The braking control is automatical- ly canceled, when risk factors dis-
appear.
ODE056077L
WARNING
The AEB assesses the risk of a
collision by monitoring several
variables avoid all collisions.
The AEB might not completely
stop the vehicle before colli-
sion, due to ambient weather
and road conditions. The driver
has the responsibility to drive
safely and control the vehicle.
CAUTION
The driver should always exer-cise caution when operatingthe vehicle, even though there isno warning message or warningalarm.
WARNING
The AEB assesses the risk of a
collision by monitoring several
variables, such as the distance
from the vehicle/passer-by in
front, the speed of the
vehicle/passer-by in front, and
the driver's vehicle operation.
Certain conditions such as
inclement weather and road
conditions may affect the oper-
ation of the AEB system.

- Driving on a curve
The AEB performance may be limit-
ed while driving on a curve. The AEB
may not recognize the vehicle in front
even in the same lane. It may unnec-
essarily produce the warning mes-
sage and the warning alarm, or it
may not produce the warning mes-
sage and the warning alarm at all.
While driving on a curve, exercise
caution, and, if necessary, depress
the brake pedal. The AEB 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 driv-
ing conditions while driving. If neces-
sary, depress the brake pedal to
reduce your driving speed in order to
maintain a safe distance. Also, when
necessary, you may depress the
accelerator pedal to prevent the sys-
tem from unnecessarily decelerating
your vehicle.
Always check the traffic conditions
around the vehicle.- Driving on a slope
The AEB performance may be limit-
ed while driving upward or downward
on a slope, and may not recognize
the vehicle in front in the same lane.
It may prematurely produce the
warning message and the warning
alarm, or it may not produce the
warning message and the warning
alarm at all.
When the AEB 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.
