snow or ice on the windshield, defrost
the windshield for about 10 minutes,
or until the snow and/or ice is
removed before using the windshield
wipers to ensure proper operation.
If you do not remove the snow and/or
ice before using the wiper and wash-
er, it may damage the wiper and
washer system.
Auto control (if equipped)
The rain sensor located on the upper
end of the windshield glass senses
the amount of rainfall and controls
the wiping cycle for the proper inter-

wiper operates. When the rain stops,
the wipers stop. To vary the speed setting, turn the
speed control knob (1).
If the wiper switch is set in AUTO
mode when the ignition switch is ON,
the wiper will operate once to per-
form a self-check of the system. Set
the wiper to OFF position when the

system senses the mois-
ture on the inside of the
windshield and operates.
If more moisture is in the vehicle,

Driving your vehicle
The FCA system is designed to
detect and monitor the vehicle ahead
or detect a pedestrian (if equipped)
in the roadway through radar signals
and camera recognition to warn the
driver that a collision is imminent,
and if necessary, apply emergency
braking.✽ ✽NOTICE
Take the following precautions when
using the Forward Collision-
Avoidance Assist (FCA):
• This system is only a supplemental
system and it is not intended to,
nor does it replace the need for
extreme care and attention of the
driver. The sensing range and
objects detectable by the sensors
are limited. Pay attention to the
road conditions at all times.
• NEVER drive too fast in accor- dance with the road conditions or
while cornering.
• Always drive cautiously to prevent unexpected and sudden situations
from occurring. FCA does not stop
the vehicle completely and does
not avoid collisions.
System setting and activation
System setting
The driver can activate the FCA by
placing the ignition switch to the ON
position and by selecting 'User
Settings', 'Driver Assistance', and
‘Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist’.
The FCA deactivates, when the driv-
er cancels the system setting.
FORWARD COLLISION-AVOIDANCE ASSIST (FCA) (IF EQUIPPED)
WARNING - Forward
Collision-Avoidance Assist
(FCA) Limitations
The FCA system is a supple-
mental system and is not a sub-
stitute for safe driving prac-
tices. It is the responsibility of
the driver to always check the
speed and distance to the vehi-
cle ahead to ensure it is safety
to use the FCA system.

Driving your vehicle
✽ ✽NOTICE
The FCA operates in accordance
with the risk levels, such as the dis-
tance from the vehicle/pedestrian in
front, the speed of the vehicle/pedes-
trian in front, and the driver's vehi-
cle operation. For the system to acti-
vate, do not attempt risky driving.
FCA front radar / camera sensor
In order for the FCA system to oper-
ate properly, always make sure the
sensor or sensor cover is clean and
free of dirt, snow, and debris. Dirt,
snow, or foreign substances on the
lens may adversely affect the sens-
ing performance of the sensor.
✽ ✽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 adverse-
ly affect the sensing performance.
• 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 front sensor area.
When the sensor moves out of the
correct position due to external
force, the system may not operate
correctly even without the warn-
ing light or message. In this case,
we recommend you to have the
vehicle inspected by an authorized
Kia dealer.
• Use only the genuine Kia sensor cover. Do not arbitrarily apply
paint on the sensor cover. (Continued)WARNING
Never rely solely on the FCA to
stop a collision the drive can It
is the driver's responsibility to
safely maneuver the vehicle
under all conditions.
