Collision Warning (1st warning)
• The warning message appears on
the LCD display with the warning
alarms.
The FCA controls the brakes within certain limit to release shock from
the collision.
Emergency braking (2nd warning)
The warning message appears onthe LCD display with the warning
alarms.
The FCA controls the brakes with- in certain limit to release shock
from the collision.
The FCA 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 FCA provides additional brak- ing power for optimum braking per-
formance, 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 exercise
caution when operating the vehicle,
even though there is no warning
message or warning alarm.

System malfunction
When the FCA is not working prop-erly, the FCA warning light ( )
will illuminate and the warning
message will appear for a few sec-
onds. After the message disap-
pears, the master warning light
( ) will illuminate. In this case,
have the vehicle inspected by an
authorized Kia dealer.
The FCA warning message may appear along with the illumination
of the ESC warning light. The FCA may unnecessarily pro-
duce warning messages and warn-
ing alarms. Due to the sensing lim-
itation, the FCA may not produce
warning messages or warning
alarm at all.
When there is a malfunction with the FCA, the braking control does
not operate upon detecting a colli-
sion risk even with other braking
systems normally operating.
The FCA operates only for the vehicle / pedestrian in front, while
driving forward. It does not operate
for any animals or vehicles in the
opposite direction.
The FCA can not recognize cross- traffic or parked vehicles present-
ing a sideprofile.
OUM058284L
WARNING
The FCA is only a supplemental
system for the driver’s conven-
ience.
The driver still maintains
responsibility to control the
vehicle. Do not solely depend
on the FCA system. Rather,
maintain a safe braking dis-
tance, and, if necessary,
depress the brake pedal to
lower the driving speed.

If the vehicle in front stops sudden-
ly, you may have less control of the
brake system.
Therefore, always keep safe dis-
tance between your vehicle and
the vehicle in front of you.
The FCA system may activate dur- ing braking and the vehicle may
stop suddenly. And the load in the
vehicle may endanger passengers.
Therefore, always be mindful of the
load volume in the vehicle.
The FCA system may not activate if the driver applies the brake pedal
to avoid risk of collision.
The FCA system does not operate when the vehicle is in reverse. In
these cases, you must maintain a
safe braking distance, and if nec-
essary, depress the brake pedal to
reduce the driving speed in order
to maintain a safe distance. The regular braking function will
operate normally even if There is a
problem with the FCA brake control
system or other functions. In this
case, the braking control will not
operate in the risk of a collision.
The FCA system may not activate according to driving condition, traf-
fic on the road, weather, road con-
dition, etc.
The FCA system may not activate to all types of vehicles.Limitation of the system
The FCA is an assistant system for a
driver in a certain risky driving condi-
tion and it does not take every
responsibility for all risks from driving
condition.
The FCA monitors the driving situa-
tions through the radar and the cam-
era sensor. Thus, for a situation out
of the sensing range, the FCA may
not operate normally. The driver
should use caution in the following
situations. The FCA operation may
be limited.

- Changing lanes
When a vehicle changes lanes in
front of you, the FCA system may not
immediately detect the vehicle, espe-
cially if the vehicle changes lanes
abruptly. In this case, you must main-
tain a safe braking distance, and if
necessary, depress the brake pedal
to reduce your driving speed in order
to maintain a safe distance. When driving in stop-and-go traffic,
and a stopped vehicle in front of you
merges out of the lane, the FCA sys-
tem may not immediately detect the
new vehicle that is now in front of
you. In this case, you must maintain
a safe braking distance, and if nec-
essary, depress the brake pedal to
reduce your driving speed in order to
maintain a safe distance.
- Recognizing the vehicle
Detecting the vehicle in front of you If
the vehicle in front of you has cargo
that extends rearward from the cab,
or when the vehicle in front of you
has higher ground clearance, addi-
tional special attention is required.
The FCA system may not be able to
detect the cargo extending from the
vehicle. In these instances, you must
maintain a safe braking distance
from the rearmost object, and if nec-
essary, depress the brake pedal to
reduce your driving speed in order to
maintain distance.

The smart cruise control system
has malfunctioned.
The accelerator pedal is continu- ously depressed for long time.
When the braking control is operat- ed for Forward Collision-Avoidance
Assist(FCA)
The vehicle is stopped for more than 5 minutes.
The driver starts driving by pushing the toggle switch up (RES+)/down
(SET-) or depressing the accelera-
tor pedal, after the vehicle is
stopped by the Smart Cruise
Control system with no other vehi-
cle ahead.
The vehicle stops and goes repeat- edly for a long period of time.
When the parking brake is locked. Engine has some problems.
Each of these actions will cancel the
smart cruise control system opera-
tion. (The set speed and vehicle-to-
vehicle distance on the LCD display
will go off.)
If the smart cruise control system is
cancelled automatically, the smart
cruise control system will not
resume even though the RES+ or
SET- lever is moved.
If the smart cruise control system is
cancelled by a reason not men-
tioned, have the system checked by
an authorized Kia dealer.
✽ ✽ NOTICE
If the system is automatically can-
celled, the warning chime will sound
and a message will appear for a few
seconds. You must adjust the vehicle
speed by depressing the accelerator
or brake pedal according to the road
conditions ahead and driving condi-
tion. Always check the road condi-
tions. Do not rely on the warning
chime.

To resume cruise control setspeed:
If any method other than the
CRUISE button was used to cancel
cruising speed and the system is still
activated, the cruising speed will
automatically resume when you
move the lever up/down (to RES+ or
SET-).
If you move the lever up (to RES+),
the speed will resume to the recently
set speed. It will only resume below
approximately 30 km/h (20 mph)
when a vehicle is in the front.
✽ ✽ NOTICE
To reduce the risk of an accident,
always check the road conditions
when reactivating the smart cruise
control using the RES+ lever to
ensure the road conditions permit
safe use of the cruise control.
To turn cruise control off:
Press the CRUISE button. (the
CRUISE indicator in the instrument
cluster will go off).
When the Smart Cruise Control
System is not needed, press the
[CRUISE] switch and deactivate the
system.
WARNING - Following
Distance
To avoid collisions, always be aware of the selected speed
and vehicle to vehicle dis-
tance settings when activat-
ing your smart cruise control
system.
Always maintain sufficient braking distance and deceler-
ate your vehicle by applying
the brakes if necessary.

Driving your vehicle
When vehicles are at a standstilland the vehicle in front of you
changes to the next lane, be care-
ful when your vehicle starts to
move because it may not recognize
the stopped vehicle in front of you.
In this case, you must maintain a
safe braking distance, and if nec-
essary, depress the brake pedal to
reduce your driving speed in order
to maintain a safe distance. Always look out for pedestrians
when your vehicle is maintaining a
distance with the vehicle ahead. Always be cautious for vehicles
that are taller with higher clear-
ance, or vehicles carrying loads
that stick out of the back of the
vehicle.
