Brake operation
In an urgent situation, the braking
system enters into the ready status
for prompt reaction to assist the driv-
er in depressing the brake pedal.
FCA provides additional braking
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.WARNING
FCA cannot avoid all collisions.
FCA might not completely stop
the vehicle before a collision,
due to ambient, weather and
road conditions. The driver has
the responsibility to drive safely
and control the vehicle.
WARNING
FCA operates in accordance
with the risk levels, such as the
distance from the vehicle in
front, the speed of the vehicle in
front, and the driver's vehicle
operation. For the system to
activate, do not attempt risky
driving.
CAUTION
The driver should always pay
great caution to vehicle opera-
tion, even though there is no
warning message or warning
alarm.
If any other warning sound
such as seat belt warning
chime is already generated,
Forward Collision-Avoidance
Assist warning may not
sound.
Excessive audio volume may
disturb the sound of the sys-
tem warning alarm.

System malfunction
When FCA is not working properly,
the FCA warning light ( ) will illu-
minate and the warning message
will appear for a few seconds. After
the message disappears, the mas-
ter warning light ( ) will illuminate.
In this case, have your vehicle
inspected by an authorized Kia
dealer.
The FCA warning message may
appear along with the illumination
of the ESC warning light.
WARNING
FCA is only a supplemental
system for the driver’s con-
venience. The driver has the
ultimate responsibility to con-
trol and operate the vehicle
safely. Do not solely depend
on FCA. Rather, maintain a
safe braking distance, and, if
necessary, depress the brake
pedal to lower the driving
speed.
In certain instances and
under certain driving condi-
tions, FCA may activate unin-
tentionally. This initial warning
message appears on the LCD
display with a warning chime.

(Continued)
Also, in certain instances the
front radar sensor or camera
recognition system may not
detect the vehicle, pedestrian
or cyclist ahead. FCA may not
activate and the warning mes-
sage will not be displayed.
FCA may unnecessarily pro-
duce the warning message
and the warning alarms. Also,
due to the sensing limitation,
FCA may not produce the
warning message and the
warning alarm at all.
When there is a malfunction
with FCA, the braking control
does not operate upon detect-
ing a collision risk even with
other braking systems nor-
mally operating.

Driving your vehicle
(Continued)
FCA operates only for the
vehicle/pedestrian in front,
while driving forward. It does
not operate for any animals or
vehicles in the opposite direc-
tion.
FCA does not recognize the
vehicle, which transversally
drives across the crossroad,
or the vehicle, which is parked
in the transversal direction.
If the vehicle in front stops
suddenly, you may have less
control of the brake system.
Therefore, always keep safe
distance between your vehicle
and the vehicle in front of you.
FCA may activate during brak-
ing and the vehicle may stop
suddenly. And the load in the
vehicle may endanger passen-
gers. Therefore, always be
mindful of the load volume in
the vehicle.
(Continued)(Continued)
FCA may not activate if the
driver applies the brake pedal
to avoid risk of collision.
FCA does not operate when
the vehicle is in reverse. In
these circumstances, you
must maintain a safe braking
distance, and if necessary,
depress the brake pedal to
reduce the driving speed in
order to maintain a safe dis
tance.
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 an imminent colli-
sion.
(Continued)(Continued)
FCA may not activate accord-
ing to driving condition, traffic
on the road, weather, road
condition, etc.
FCA may not activate in
response to all types of vehi-
cles.

Limitation of the system
FCA is an assistant system for a driv-
er in a certain risky driving condition
and it does not take every responsi-
bility for all risks from driving condi-
tion.
FCA monitors the driving situations
through the radar and the camera
sensor. Thus, for a situation out of
the sensing range, FCA may not nor-
mally operate. The driver should pay
great caution in the following situa-
tions. FCA operation may be limited.
Recognizing vehicles
The sensor may be limited when:
The front view camera or front
radar sensor is blocked with a for-
eign object or debris
The camera lens is contaminated
due to tinted, filmed or coated
windshield, damaged glass, or
stuck of foreign matter (sticker,
bug, etc.) on the glass
Inclement weather such as heavy
rain or snow obscures the field of
view of the radar sensor or camera
There is interference by electro-
magnetic waves
There is severe irregular reflection
from the radar sensor
The front view camera/front radar
sensor recognition is limited
The vehicle in front is too small to
be detected (for example a motor-
cycle etc.)
The vehicle in front is an oversize
vehicle or trailer that is too big to
be detected by the camera recog-
nition system (for example a tractor
trailer, etc.) The camera's field of view is not
well illuminated (either too dark or
too much reflection or too much
backlight that obscures the field of
view)
The vehicle in front does not have
their rear lights or their rear lights
does not turned ON or their rear
lights are located unusually.
The outside brightness changes
suddenly, for example when enter-
ing or exiting a tunnel
When light coming from a street
light or an oncoming vehicle is
reflected on a wet road surface
such as a puddle in the road
The field of view in front is
obstructed by sun glare
The vehicle in front is driving errat-
ically
The vehicle is on unpaved or
uneven rough surfaces, or road
with sudden gradient changes.
The vehicle is driven near areas
containing metal substances as a
construction zone, railroad, etc.

- Changing lanes
When a vehicle changes lanes in
front of you, Forward Collision-
Avoidance Assist may not immedi-
ately detect the vehicle, especially if
the vehicle changes lanes abruptly.
In this case, you must maintain a
safe braking distance, and if neces-
sary, 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, Forward
Collision-Avoidance Assist may not
immediately detect the new vehicle
that is now in front of you. In this
case, you must maintain a safe brak-
ing distance, and if necessary,
depress the brake pedal to reduce
your driving speed in order to main-
tain a safe distance.- Recognizing the vehicle
When the vehicle in front has heavy
loading extended rearward, or when
the vehicle in front has higher ground
clearance, it may induce a haz-
ardous situation. Always pay atten-
tion to road and driving conditions,
while driving and, if necessary,
depress the brake pedal to reduce
your driving speed in order to main-
tain distance.

Lane Keeping Assist detects the lane
markers on the road with a front view
camera at the front windshield, and
assists the driver’s steering to help
keep the vehicle in the lanes. When
the system detects the vehicle stray-
ing from its lane, it alerts the driver
with a visual and audible warning,
while applying a slight counter-steer-
ing torque, trying to prevent the vehi-
cle from moving out of its lane.
LKA helps prevent the driver from
moving out of the lane unintentional-
ly by assisting the driver’s steering. If
the driver intentionally drives on one
side of the driving lane, a continuous
steering force may occur.However, the system is just a con-
venience function and the steering
wheel is not always controlled.
While driving, the driver should pay
attention to the steering wheel.
✽ ✽
NOTICE
• The operation of LKA system can
be canceled or not work properly
depending on road condition and
surroundings. Always be cautious
when driving.
• Do not disassemble the front view
camera or attached any type of
coating or accessories to it. If you
disassemble the front view cam-
era, take your vehicle to an
authorized Kia dealer to check if
the system needs a calibration.
• When you replace the windshield
glass, front view camera or related
parts of the steering, take your
vehicle to an authorized Kia deal-
er to check if the system needs a
calibration.
