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 10 km/h (6 mph). (The FCA only works
within a certain range of vehicle
speeds)
- When the FCA recognizes a vehi- cle in front.
WARNING
The FCA may not recognize
every obstacle or provide warn-
ings and braking in every situa-
tion, so do not rely on the FCA
to stop the vehicle in instances
where the driver sees an obsta-
cle and has the ability to apply
the brakes.

The driver can deactivate the FCA
by canceling the system setting on
the LCD display.

this case, the FCA warning light
will illuminate, but it does not indi-
cate a malfunction.
FCA warning message and

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.
Forward Warning (1st warning)
The warning message appears on
the LCD display with the warning.

Sensor to detect the distance
from the vehicle in front (front
radar)
The sensor is to maintain a certain
distance from the vehicle in front.
However, a sensor covered or dirty
with foreign substances, such as
snow and rain, adversely affects the
sensing performance. It may even
temporarily cancel the FCA. Always
keep the sensor clean.
Warning message and warninglight
When the sensor is covered or dirty
with foreign substances, such as
snow or rain, the FCA operation may
temporarily stop. In this case, a
warning message will appear to noti-
fy the driver.
To operate the FCA again, remove
the foreign substances.
WARNING
Never deliberately drive danger-
ously to activate the system as
such conduct increases the risk
of an accident.
WARNING
The FCA is a supplemental sys-
tem and cannot completely stop
the vehicle in all situations or
avoid all collisions. It is the
responsibility of the driver to
safely drive and control the
vehicle.
WARNING
The FCA system assesses the
risk of a collision by monitoring
several variables, such as the
distance to the vehicle ahead,
the speed of the vehicle ahead,
and the driver's operation of the
vehicle. Certain conditions
such as inclement weather and
road conditions may affect the
operation of the FCA system.

NOTICE
• Do not install any accessories,
such as a license plate bracket or
bumper sticker near the sensor
area. Do not replace the bumper
by yourself. Doing so may
adversely affect the sensing per-
formance.
• Always keep the sensor/bumper area clean.
• Use only a soft cloth to wash the vehicle. Also, do not spray highly
pressurized water on the sensor
installed on the bumper.
• Be careful not to apply unneces- sary force on the frontal sensor
area. When the sensor moves out
of the correct position due to
external force, the system may not
operate correctly even without the
warning light or message. In this
case, have the vehicle inspected by
an authorized Kia dealer. (Continued)(Continued)
• Use only the genuine Kia sensor
cover. Do not apply paint on the
sensor cover.
• Do not remove or impact the radar components.
• If the audio volume is too high, you may not be able to hear a
warning alarm from the FCA sys-
tem.
System malfunction
When the FCA is not working prop-
erly, the FCA warning light ( ) will
illuminate and the warning mes-
sage (“Check FCA system”) will
appear for a few seconds. After the
message disappears, the master
warning light ( ) will illuminate. In
this case, have the vehicle inspect-
ed by an authorized Kia dealer.
The FCA warning message may appear along with the illumination
of the ESC warning light.
WARNING
The FCA is only a supplemental
system for the driver’s conven-
ience.
It is the driver's responsibility to
control the vehicle. Do not sole-
ly depend on the FCA system.
Rather, maintain a safe braking
distance, and, if necessary,
depress the brake pedal to
lower the driving speed.

tally. Keep the cruise control system
off (CRUISE indicator light OFF)
when the cruise control is not in use,
to avoid inadvertently setting a
speed.
Use the cruise control system only
when traveling on open highways in
good weather.
Do not use the cruise control when
driving in heavy or varying traffic, or
on slippery (rainy, icy or snow-cov-
ered) or winding roads or over 6%
up-hill or down-hill roads.✽ ✽
NOTICE
