The warning light illumi-
nates on the LCD display
when you cancel the FCA
system. The driver can
monitor the FCA ON/OFF status on
the LCD display. Also, the warning
light illuminates when the ESC
(Electronic Stability Control) is
turned off (Traction & Stability control
disabled.).
When the warning light remains ON
with the FCA activated, take your
vehicle to an authorized Kia dealer
and have the system checked.
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:
selected, the initial
Forward Collision Warning
is activated earlier than
normal. This setting maxi-
mizes the amount of dis-
tance between the vehicle
or pedestrian ahead before
the initial warning occurs. If
the ‘EARLY’ condition feels
too sensitive, change it into
‘NORMAL’. When the vehi-
cle ahead suddenly stops,
the warning may seem to
activate later even if the
‘EARLY’ condition was
selected.
selected, the initial
Forward Collision
Warning is activated nor-
mally. This setting allows
for a nominal amount of
distance between the
vehicle or pedestrian
ahead before the initial
warning occurs.
selected, 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. Select this condition
only when traffic is light,
and you are driving slowly.

Prerequisite for activation
The FCA will activate when the FCA
is selected on the LCD display, and
when the following prerequisites are
satisfied:
- The ESC (Electronic StabilityControl) is activated.
- The driving speed is over 6 mph (10 km/h). (The FCA only works
within a certain range of vehicle
speeds)
- When the FCA recognizes a vehi- cle or the pedestrian in front. (The
FCA may not recognize every
obstacle or provide warnings and
braking in every situation, so do
not rely on the FCA to stop the
vehicle in instances where the driv-
er sees an obstacle and has the
ability to apply the brakes)
FCA warning message and
system control
The FCA system produces warning
messages, warning alarms, and
emergency braking based on the level
of risk of a frontal collision, such as
when a vehicle ahead suddenly
brakes, or when the system detects
that a collision with a pedestrian is
imminent.
The driver can select the initial warn-
ing activation time in the User
Settings in the LCD display. The
options for the initial Forward
Collision Warning include Early,
Normal or Late initial warning time.
WARNING
The FCA automatically acti-vates upon placing the igni-
tion switch to the ON position.
The driver can deactivate the
FCA by canceling the system
setting on the LCD display.
The FCA automatically deacti- vates upon canceling the
ESC. When the ESC is can-
celed, the FCA cannot be acti-
vated on the LCD display.
The FCA warning light will
illuminate.
Set or cancel FCA after stop- ping the vehicle in the safe
place for your safety.

Collision Warning (1st warning)
The warning message appears on
the LCD display with the warning
alarms.
The FCA system limitedly controls the brakes to preemptively mitigate
impact in a collision.
Emergency braking (2nd warning)
The warning message appears onthe LCD display with the warning
alarms.
The FCA system limitedly controls the brakes to preemptively mitigate
impact in a collision.
The brake control is maximized
just before a collision.
Brake operation
In an urgent situation, the brakingsystem enters into the ready status
for prompt reaction to assist the
driver in depressing the brake
pedal.
The FCA system provides addi- tional braking power for potentially
improved 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.
The driver should always pay great
caution to vehicle operation, even
though there is no warning message
or warning alarm.

✽ ✽
NOTICE
• Do not apply foreign objects such
as a bumper sticker or a bumper
guard near the radar sensor.
Doing so may adversely affect the
sensing performance of the radar.
• Always keep the radar sensor and cover clean and free of dirt and
debris.
• Use only soft cloth to wash the vehicle. Do not spray pressurized
water directly on the sensor or
sensor cover.
• Be careful not to apply unneces- sary force on the radar sensor or
sensor cover. If the sensor is
forcibly moved out of proper
alignment, the FCA system may
not operate correctly. In this case,
a warning message may not be dis-
played. Have the vehicle inspected
by an authorized Kia dealer
• If the front bumper becomes dam- aged in the area around the radar
sensor, the FCA system may not
operate properly. In this case,
have your vehicle inspected by an
authorized Kia dealer. (Continued)(Continued)
• Use only genuine parts to repair or
replace a damaged sensor or sen-
sor cover. Do not apply paint to
the sensor cover.
• Do not tint the window or install stickers or accessories around the
inside mirror where the camera is
installed.
• Make sure the frontal camera installation point does not get wet.
• Do not impact or remove any radar/camera components.
• Do not place reflective objects(white paper or mirror etc.)
on the dashboard.
The system may activate unneces-
sarily due to reflect of the sunlight.
• Excessive audio system volume may prevent occupants from hear-
ing the FCA system warning
alarm.
Warning message and warning
light
When the sensor is covered or the
sensor lens is dirty with foreign sub-
stances, such as snow, rain, or
debris, the FCA system may not be
able to detect vehicles or pedestri-
ans. In this case, a warning message
will appear on the LCD display to
notify the driver. Remove the foreign
substances to allow the FCA system
to function. The system will operate
normally when such dirt, snow or
debris is removed. The FCA may not
properly operate in areas where no
objects are detected (e.g., open ter-
rain) after turning ON the engine.

System malfunction
When the FCA is not working prop-erly, the FCA warning light ( ) will
illuminate and the warning mes-
sage will appear for a few seconds.
After the message disappears, the
master warning light ( ) will illu-
minate. In this case, have the vehi-
cle inspected by an authorized Kia
dealer. The FCA system will get deactivat-
ed for the sake of driver's safety
when the ESC warning light comes
on. The FCA warning message will
appear at the same time, too. But
that doesn't necessarily mean the
malfunction of the FCA system.\
Both FCA warning light and warn-
ing message will disappear once
the ESC warning light issue is
resolved.

WARNING
The FCA is only a supplemen-tal system for the driver’s con-
venience. The driver should
hold the responsibility to con-
trol the vehicle operation. Do
not solely depend on the FCA
system. Rather, maintain a safe
braking distance, and, if neces-
sary, depress the brake pedal
to lower the driving speed.
In certain instances and under certain driving condi-
tions, the FCA system may
activate unintentionally. This
initial warning message
appears on the LCD display
with a warning chime.
Also, in certain instances the
front radar sensor or camera
recognition system may not
detect the vehicle, pedestrian
ahead. The FCA system may
not activate and the warning
message will not be dis-
played.
