Driving your vehicle
If the vehicle detected by sensorsapproaches your vehicle, the warn-
ing chime will sound and the warn-
ing light will blink on the outside
rearview mirror.
If the detected object is not in your way, move the vehicle away from
the detected object slowly; and the
warning will cancel once the object
has been safely cleared.
The system may not operate prop- erly due to other factors or circum-
stances. Always pay attention to
your surroundings.
❈ If your vehicle's left or right side
bumper is blinded by a barrier or
vehicles, the system sensing abili-
ty may be deteriorated.
WARNING
The Blind Spot Detection
System with Lane Change
Assist and Rear Cross Traffic
Alert is not a substitute for
proper and safe lane changing
procedures. Always drive safely
and use caution when changing
lanes. The Blind Spot Detection
System may not detect every
object alongside the vehicle.
CAUTION
The system may not work
properly if the bumper hasbeen replaced or if repair workhas been done near the sen-sor.
The detection area differs according to the road's width.If the road is narrow the sys-tem may detect other vehiclesin the next lane.
If the road is very wide the system may not detect othervehicles.
The system may turn off due to strong electromagneticinterference.

The color of indicator will change
depend on the condition of LKAS.
- White : Sensor does not detect the
lane marker or vehicle
speed is less than 40 mph
(64 km/h).
- Green : S ensor detects the lane
marker and system is able
to control the steering.LKAS activation
To see the LKAS screen on the LCD display in the cluster, tab to
the Assist mode ( ).
After LKAS is activated, if both lane markers are detected, vehicle
speed is over 40 mph (64 km/h)
and all the activation conditions are
satisfied, a green steering wheel
indicator will illuminate and the
steering wheel will be controlled.
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 check the road con-
ditions when driving.

Driving your vehicle
 When front visibility is poor
- The lens or windshield is cov- ered by strange materials.
- The sensor cannot detect the lane because of fog, heavy rain
or snow.
- The windshield is fogged by humid air in the vehicle.
- Putting something on the crash pad and etc.LKAS Function Change
The driver can change from LKAS to
Lane Departure Warning System
(LDWS) or change the LKAS mode
between Standard LKA and Active
LKA from the User Settings Mode on
the LCD display.
Lane Departure
LDWS alerts the driver with a visual
and acoustic warning when the sys-
tem detects the vehicle leaving the
lane. In this mode, the steering wheel
will not be controlled. When the vehi-
cle’s front wheel contacts the inside
edge of lane line, LKAS issues the
lane departure warning.
Standard LKA
The Standard 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
control the steering wheel, when the
vehicle is about to deviate from the
lanes.
Active LKA
The active LKA mode provides more
frequent steering wheel control in
comparison with the Standard LKA
mode. Active LKA can reduce the dri-
ver’s fatigue to assist the steering for
maintaining the vehicle in the middle
of the lane.
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.

WARNING
The Driver Attention Alertsystem is not a substitute for
safe driving practices, but a
supplemental system only. It
is the responsibility of the
driver to always drive cau-
tiously to prevent unexpected
and sudden situations from
occurring. Pay attention to the
road conditions at all times.
The system may suggest a break according to the dri-
ver’s driving pattern or habits
even if the driver doesn’t feel
fatigue.
The driver, who feels fatigued, should take a break, even
though there is no break sug-
gestion by the Driver
Attention Alert system.
CAUTION
The Driver Attention Alert sys-tem utilizes the camera sensoron the front windshield for itsoperation.
To prevent potential damage tothe camera and keep the camerasensor operating under optimalconditions, observe the follow-ings:
Do not disassemble camera temporarily for tinted windowor attaching any types of coat-ings and accessories. If youdisassemble a camera andassemble it again, take yourvehicle to an authorized Kiadealer and have the systemchecked for calibration.
Do not place any reflective objects (i.e. white paper, mir-ror) over the dashboard. Anylight reflection may cause amal-function of the DriverAttention Alert (DAA) system.
(Continued)
(Continued) Pay extreme caution to keep the camera sensor out ofwater.
Do not arbitrarily disassemble the camera assembly, norapply any impact on the cam-era assembly.
Playing the vehicle audio sys- tem at high volume may offsetthe Driver Attention Alert sys-tem warning sounds.

What to do in an emergency
When you drive your vehicle from a
warm area to a cold area or from a
cold area to a warm area, or the out-
side temperature is greatly higher or
lower, you should check the tire infla-
tion pressure and adjust the tires to
the recommended tire inflation pres-
sure.
When filling tires with more air, con-
ditions to turn off the low tire pres-
sure telltale may not be met. This is
because a tire inflator has a margin
of error in performance. The low tire
pressure telltale will be turned off if
the tire pressure is above the recom-
mended tire inflation pressure.TPMS (Tire PressureMonitoring System)malfunction indicator
The low tire pressure telltale will illu-
minate after it blinks for approximate-
ly one minute when there is a prob-
lem with the Tire Pressure
Monitoring System. If the system is
able to correctly detect an underinfla-
tion warning at the same time as sys-
tem failure then it will illuminate both
the TPMS malfunction and low tire
pressure position telltales e.g. if
Front Left sensor fails, the TPMS
malfunction indicator illuminates, but
if the Front Right, Rear Left, or Rear
Right tire is under-inflated, the low
tire pressure position telltales may
illuminate together with the TPMS
malfunction indicator.
Have the system checked by an
authorized Kia dealer as soon as
possible to determine the cause of
the problem. The TPMS malfunction indicator
may be illuminated if the vehicle is
moving around electric power sup-
ply cables or radios transmitters
such as at police stations, govern-
ment and public offices, broadcast-
ing stations, military installations,
airports, or transmitting towers,
etc. This can interfere with normal
operation of the Tire Pressure
Monitoring System (TPMS).
The TPMS malfunction indicator may be illuminated if snow chains
are used or some separate elec-
tronic devices such as notebook
computer, mobile charger, remote
starter or navigation etc., are used
in the vehicle. This can interfere
with normal operation of the Tire
Pressure Monitoring System
(TPMS).
WARNING- Low pressure
damage
Do not drive on low pressure
tires. Significantly low tire pres-
sure can cause the tires to over-
heat and fail making the vehicle
unstable resulting in increased
braking distances and a loss of
vehicle control.

Changing a tire with TPMS
If you have a flat tire, the Low Tire
Pressure telltale will come on. Have
the flat tire repaired by an authorized
Kia dealer as soon as possible or
replace the flat tire with the spare
tire.
Each wheel is equipped with a tire
pressure sensor mounted inside the
tire behind the valve stem. You must
use TPMS specific wheels. It is rec-
ommended that you always have
your tires serviced by an authorized
Kia dealer. Even if you replace the low pressure
tire with the spare tire, the Low Tire
Pressure telltale will remain on until
the low pressure tire is repaired and
placed on the vehicle.
After you replace the low pressure
tire with the spare tire, the TPMS
malfunction indicator may illuminate
after a few minutes because the
TPMS sensor mounted on the spare
wheel is not initiated.
Once the low pressure tire is inflated
again to the recommended pressure
and installed on the vehicle or the
TPMS sensor mounted on the
replaced spare wheel is initiated by
an authorized Kia dealer, the TPMS
malfunction indicator and the low tire
pressure telltale will turn off within a
few minutes of driving.
If the indicator has not disappeared
after a few minutes of driving, please
visit an authorized Kia dealer.
If an original mounted tire is replaced
with the spare tire, the TPMS sensor
on the replaced spare wheel should
be initiated and the TPMS sensor on
the original mounted wheel should be
deactivated. If the TPMS sensor on
the original mounted wheel located in
the spare tire carrier still activates,
the tire pressure monitoring system
may not operate properly. Have the
tire with TPMS serviced or replaced
by an authorized Kia dealer.
CAUTION- Repair
Agents
Never use a puncture-repairing
agent not approved by Kia torepair and/or inflate a low pres-sure tire. The sealant notapproved by Kia may damagethe tire pressure sensor.
