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 Stability
Control) 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 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) The FCA automatically activates
upon placing the ignition switch to
the ON position. The driver can
deactivate the FCA by canceling the
system setting on the LCD display.
The FCA automatically deactivates upon canceling the ESC. When the
ESC is canceled, the FCA cannot
be activated on the LCD display.
In this situation, the FCA warning
light will illuminate.WARNING
To avoid driver distractions, do
not attempt to set or cancel the
FCA while operating the vehicle.

Remove any dirt, snow, or debris and
clean the radar sensor cover before
operating the FCA system.
The FCA may not properly operate in
an area (e.g. open terrain), where
any substances are not detected
after turning ON the engine.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.

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.

Driving your vehicle
Due to sensing limitation, the FCAmay not produce warning mes-
sages or warning alarms in certain
situations. Read the section
"Limitation of the system" for more
information.
When there is a malfunction with the FCA, the automatic braking
control does not operate even with
other braking systems normally
operating.
The FCA only recognizes vehicles and pedestrians in front of it while
driving forward. It does not identify
any animals or vehicles in the
opposite direction.
The FCA can not recognize cross- traffic or parked vehicles present-
ing a sideprofile.
The FCA system may not activate if the driver applies the brake pedal
to avoid the risk of a 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.Limitation of the system
The FCA system is designed to mon-
itor the vehicle ahead or a pedestrian
on the roadway through radar signals
and camera recognition to warn the
driver that a collision is imminent,
and if necessary, apply emergency
braking. In certain situations, the
radar sensor or the camera may not
be able to detect the vehicle or
pedestrian ahead. In these cases,
the FCA system may not operate.
The driver must pay careful attention
in the following situations where the
FCA operation may be limited:
Recognizing vehicles
The sensor may be limited when:
- The radar or the camera is con-taminated with foreign substances.
- It heavily rains or snows.
- There is electromagnetic interfer- ence.
- Something in the path of travel deflects the radar waves.
- The vehicle in front has a narrow body. (i.e. motor cycle and bicycle)
- The driver's view is not clear due to backlight, reflected light, or dark-
ness.
- The camera cannot contain the full image of the vehicle in front.
- The vehicle in front is a special vehicle, such as a heavily-loaded
truck or a trailer.
- The outside brightness is greatly changed, such as entering/exiting
a tunnel.

Driving your vehicle
- Recognizing the vehicle
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
recognize the cargo extending from
the vehicle. In these instances, you
must maintain a safe braking dis-
tance from the rearmost object, and
if necessary, depress the brake
pedal to reduce your driving speed in
order to maintain distance.
Recognizing pedestrians
The sensor may be limited when:
- The pedestrian is not fully detectedby the camera recognition system,
for example, if the pedestrian is
leaning over or is not fully walking
upright
- The pedestrian is moving very quickly or appears abruptly in the
camera detection area
- The pedestrian is wearing clothing that easily blends into the back-
ground, making it difficult to be
detected by the camera recogni-
tion system
- The outside lighting is too bright (e.g. when driving in bright sunlight
or in sun glare) or too dark (e.g.
when driving on a dark rural road
at night) - There is an item similar to a per-
son's body structure
- The pedestrian is small
- The pedestrian has impaired mobility
- The sensor recognition is limited
- It is difficult to detect and distin- guish the pedestrian from other
objects in the surroundings, for
example, when there is a group of
pedestrians or a large crowd
- If a sudden change in the sensor recognition takes place while driv-
ing over a speed bump,
- When the vehicle is severely shak- en,
- When driving around circular inter- section,
- If the front of the camera lens is contaminated by front glass tinting,
film, water repellent coating, dam-
age on glass, or foreign matter
(sticker, insect, etc.)

- The radar or camera or camera
lens is damaged.
- If the headlights of the vehicle are not used at night or in a tunnel sec-
tion, or the light is too weak
- If street light or the light of a vehi- cle coming from the opposite direc-
tion is reflected or when sunlight is
reflected by the water on the road
surface
- When the back light is projected in the direction of the vehicle's motion
(including the headlights of vehi-
cles)
- Road sign, shadow on the road, tunnel entrance, toll gate, partial
pavement
- If the moist on the front windshield is not entirely removed or it is
frozen
- The weather is foggy
- The radar/camera sensor recogni- tion is limited.
WARNING
The FCA cannot avoid all colli-
sions. The FCA might not com-
pletely stop the vehicle before a
collision, due to ambient weath-
er and road conditions. The
driver has the responsibility to
drive safely and control the
vehicle.
WARNING
Do not use the FCA systemwhen towing a vehicle. Cancel
the FCA in the User Settings
on the LCD display before
towing. Brake application by
the FCA system while towing
may adversely affect your
safety.
Use extreme caution when 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.
The FCA system is designed to detect and monitor the
vehicle ahead or detect a
pedestrian in the roadway
through radar signals and
camera recognition. It is not
designed to detect bicycles,
motorcycles, or smaller
wheeled objects such as lug-
gage bags, shopping carts, or
strollers.

The cruise control system allows you
to program the vehicle to maintain a
constant speed without depressing
the accelerator pedal.
This system is designed to function
above approximately 30 km/h (20
mph ). If the cruise control is left on,
(cruise indicator light is illuminat-
ed), the cruise control can be
switched on accidentally. Keep the
cruise control system 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 it may not be safe to keep the vehi-
cle at a constant speed, for
instance, driving in heavy or vary-
ing traffic, or on slippery (rainy, icy
or snow- covered) or winding roads
or over 6% up-hill or down-hill
roads.
Pay particular attention to the driv- ing conditions whenever using the
cruise control system.
Be careful when driving downhill using the cruise control system,
which may increase the vehicle
speed.
✽ ✽ NOTICE
• During normal cruise control oper-
ation, when the SET switch is acti-
vated or reactivated after applying
the brakes, the cruise control will
activate after approximately 3 sec-
onds. This delay is normal.
• To activate cruise control, depress the brake pedal at least once after
turning the ignition switch to the
ON position or starting the engine.
CRUISE CONTROL SYSTEM (IF EQUIPPED)
WARNING - Misuse of
Cruise Control
Do not use cruise control if the
traffic situation does not allow
you to drive safely at a constant
speed and with sufficient dis-
tance to the vehicle in front.

To adjust the sensitivity of
smart cruise control system
The sensitivity of vehicle speed when
following the front vehicle to maintain
the set distance can be adjusted. Go
to the User Settings Mode (Driver
Assistance) and select SCC (Smart
Cruise Control). You may select one
of the three stages you prefer.
Slow:
Vehicle speed to the vehicle ahead
to maintain the set distance is
slower than normal speed.
Normal: Vehicle speed to the vehicle ahead
to maintain the set distance is nor-
mal
Fast: Vehicle speed to the vehicle ahead
to maintain the set distance is
faster than normal speed.
✽ ✽ NOTICE
The system remembers the last
selected mode.
To convert to cruise control
mode:
The driver may choose to only use
the cruise control mode (speed con-
trol function) by doing as follows: 1.Turn the smart cruise control sys-
tem on (the cruise indicator light
will be on but the system will not be
activated).
2.Push the distance to distance switch for more than 2 seconds.
3.Choose between "Smart cruise control (SCC) mode" and "Cruise
control (CC) mode".
When using the cruise control mode,
you must manually assess the dis-
tance to other vehicles as the system
will not automatically brake to slow
down for other vehicles.
When the system is canceled using
the CRUISE button or the CRUISE
button is used after the engine is
turned on, the Smart Cruise Control
mode will turn on.

Driving your vehicle
Your vehicle may be equipped with
the ISG system, which reduces fuel
consumption by automatically shut-
ting down the engine, when the vehi-
cle is at a standstill. (For example :
red light, stop sign and traffic jam)
The engine starts automatically as
soon as the starting conditions are
met.
The ISG system is ON whenever the
engine is running.
✽ ✽NOTICE
When the engine automatically
starts by the ISG system, some
warning lights (ABS, ESC, ESC
OFF, EPS or Parking brake warn-
ing light) may turn on for a few sec-
onds.
This happens because of low battery
voltage. It does not mean the system
has malfunctioned.
Auto stop
To stop the engine in idle stop
mode
Stop the vehicle completely by
pressing the brake pedal when the
shift lever is in the D (Drive) or N
(Neutral) position.
The engine will stop and the green
AUTO STOP( ) indicator on the
instrument cluster will illuminate.
✽ ✽ NOTICE
If you open the engine hood in auto
stop mode, the following will hap-
pen:
• The ISG system will deactivate
(the light on the ISG OFF button
will illuminate).
• A message will appear on the LCD display. (Continued)
