The color of the indicator will change
depend on the condition of LKA.- White : Sensor does not detect the lane marker or vehicle
speed is less than 64
km/h (40 mph).
- Green : Sensor detects the lane
marker and system is able
to control the steering.LKA activation
To see the LKA screen on the LCD
display in the cluster, Tab to the
ASSIST mode ( ).
For further details, refer to the [menu settings] section in Chapter 4.
After LKA is activated, if both lane markers are detected, vehicle
speed is over 64 km/h (40 mph)
and all the activation conditions are
satisfied, a green steering wheel
indicator will illuminate, and the
steering wheel will be controlled.WARNING
The Lane Keeping Assist system
is a system to help prevent the
driver from leaving the lane.
However, the driver should not
rely solely on the system and
should always check the road
conditions while driving.

If the speed of the vehicle is over 64
km/h (40 mph) and the system
detects lane markers, the color
changes from gray to white
When the conditions below are met,
LKA will be enabled to assist steering.
Vehicle speed is above 64 km/h
(40 mph).
Both lane markers are detected by LKA.
The vehicle is between the lane markers.
If LKA can assist steering, a green
steering wheel indicator will illumi-
nate.
Warning
If the vehicle leaves a lane, the lane
marker you cross will blink on the
LCD display.
If the vehicle moves out of its lane
because the steering torque for
assistance is insufficient, the line
indicator will blink. If all the conditions to activate LKA
are not satisfied, the system will
convert to Lane Departure
Warning (LDW) and only warn the
driver when the driver crosses the
lane markers. In this scenario, the
LDW system does not provide any
steering inputs to the vehicle for
you. Accordingly, you must take the
necessary steps to maintain con-
trol of the vehicle and keep it with-
in the lanes.

✽ ✽
NOTICE
• Even though the steering is assist-
ed by the system, the driver may
control the steering.
• The steering wheel may feel heav- ier when the steering wheel is
assisted by the system than when it
is not.
The system will be cancelled when:
You change lanes with the turn sig-
nal.
- Using the turn signal to changelanes.
- If you change lanes without the turn signal on, the steering wheel
might be controlled.
LKA can transition to steering assist mode when the car is near
the middle of the lane after the sys-
tem is turned on or the lane was
changed. LKA can not assist steer-
ing if the vehicle follows lane mark-
er too close continuously before
transition to steering assist mode.
The control of ESC (Electronic Stability Control) or VSM (Vehicle
Stability Management) is activated.
The steering will not be assisted when you drive fast on a sharp
curve. The steering will not be assisted
when vehicle speed is below 64
km/h (40 mph) and over 177 km/h
(110 mph). Always obey all traffic
laws and drive safely.
The steering will not be assisted when you change lanes quickly.
The steering will not be assisted when you brake suddenly.
The steering will not be assisted when the lane is very wide or nar-
row.
The steering will not be assisted when only one side lane marker is
detected.
There are more than two lane markers such as a construction
area.
Radius of a curve is too small.
When you turn the steering wheel suddenly, the LKA will be disabled
temporarily.
Driving on a steep slope or hill.

Driving your vehicle
When there is a problem with the sys-
tem, do one of the following:
Turn the system on after turningthe engine off and on again.
Check if the ignition switch is in the ON position.
Check if the system is affected by the weather. (ex: fog, heavy rain,
etc.)
Check if there is foreign matter on the camera lens
If the problem is not solved, take your
vehicle to an authorized Kia dealer
and have the system checked.LKA function change
The driver can change LKA to Lane
Departure Warning (LDW) system or
change the LKA mode between
Standard LKA and Active LKA from
the User Settings Mode on the LCD
display. The driver can choose the mode by
placing the ignition switch to the ON
position and by selecting ‘User
Settings’, ‘Driver Assistance’, and
‘Lane Safety’.
The system is automatically set to
Standard LKA when your vehicle is
first delivered from the factory.
Lane Departure Warning
LDW alerts the driver with a visual
and acoustic warning when the sys-
tem detects the vehicle leaving the
lane. In this mode, the system will not
provide steering inputs. When the
vehicle’s front wheel contacts the
inside edge of the lane, LKA issues
the lane departure warning.
Standard LKA
The Standard LKA mode guides the
driver to keep the vehicle within the
lanes. It provides inputs to the steer-
ing when the vehicle is about to devi-
ate from the lanes.
Active LKA
The active LKA mode provides more
frequent steering wheel control in
comparison with the Standard LKA
mode. Active LKA can reduce the dri-
ver’s fatigue by assisting the steering
to help maintain the vehicle in the
middle of the lane.

Driving your vehicle
Your vehicle's fuel economy depends
mainly on your style of driving, where
you drive and when you drive.
Each of these factors affects how
many miles (kilometers) you can get
from a gallon (liter) of fuel. To operate
your vehicle as economically as pos-
sible, use the following driving sug-
gestions to help save money in both
fuel and repairs:
Drive smoothly. Accelerate at amoderate rate. Don't make "jack-
rabbit" starts or full-throttle shifts
and maintain a steady cruising
speed. Don't race between stop-
lights. Try to adjust your speed to
the traffic so you don't have to
change speeds unnecessarily.
Avoid heavy traffic whenever pos-
sible. Always maintain a safe dis-
tance from other vehicles so you
can avoid unnecessary braking.
This also reduces brake wear.
Drive at a moderate speed. The faster you drive, the more fuel your
vehicle uses. Driving at a moderate
speed, especially on the highway,
is one of the most effective ways to
reduce fuel consumption. Don't "ride" the brake pedal. This
can increase fuel consumption and
also increase wear on these com-
ponents. In addition, driving with
your foot resting on the brake pedal
may cause the brakes to overheat,
which reduces their effectiveness
and may lead to more serious con-
sequences.
Take care of your tires. Keep them inflated to the recommended pres-
sure. Incorrect inflation, either too
much or too little, results in unnec-
essary tire wear. Check the tire
pressures at least once a month.
Be sure that the wheels are aligned correctly. Improper align-
ment can result from hitting curbs
or driving too fast over irregular
surfaces. Poor alignment causes
faster tire wear and may also result
in other problems as well as
greater fuel consumption. Keep your vehicle in good condi-
tion. For better fuel economy and
reduced maintenance costs, main-
tain your vehicle in accordance
with the maintenance schedule in
Chapter 7. If you drive your vehicle
in severe conditions, more frequent
maintenance is required (see
Chapter 7 for details).
Keep your vehicle clean. For maxi- mum service, your vehicle should
be kept clean and free of corrosive
materials. It is especially important
that mud, dirt, ice, etc. not be
allowed to accumulate on the
underside of the vehicle. This extra
weight can result in increased fuel
consumption and also contribute to
corrosion.
Travel lightly. Don't carry unneces- sary weight in your vehicle. Weight
reduces fuel economy.
Don't let the engine idle longer than necessary. If you are waiting
(and not in traffic), turn off your
engine and restart only when
you're ready to go.

Hazardous driving conditions
When hazardous driving conditions
are encountered such as water,
snow, ice, mud, sand, or similar haz-
ards, follow these suggestions:
Drive cautiously and allow extradistance for braking.
Avoid sudden braking or steering.
When braking with non-ABS brakes, pump the brake pedal with
a light up-and-down motion until
the vehicle is stopped.
Do not pump the brake pedal on a
vehicle equipped with ABS. If stalled in snow, mud, or sand,
use the second gear. Accelerate
slowly to avoid spinning the drive
wheels.
Use sand, rock salt, or other non- slip material under the drive
wheels to provide traction when
stalled in ice, snow, or mud.
Rocking the vehicle
If it is necessary to rock the vehicle
to free it from snow, sand, or mud,
first turn the steering wheel right and
left to clear the area around your
front wheels. Then, shift back and
forth between R (Reverse) and any
forward gear in vehicles equipped
with an Intelligent Variable
Transmission / Dual clutch transmis-
sion. Do not race the engine, and
spin the wheels as little as possible.
If you are still stuck after a few tries,
have the vehicle pulled out by a tow
vehicle to avoid engine overheating
and possible damage to the trans-
mission.
SPECIAL DRIVING CONDITIONS
WARNING- Downshifting
Do not downshift with an intelli-
gent variable transmission
while driving on slippery sur-
faces. The sudden change in
tire speed could cause the tires
to skid and result in an acci-
dent.
WARNING- Sudden
Vehicle Movement
Do not attempt to rock the vehi-
cle if people or objects are near-
by. The vehicle may suddenly
move forward or backwards as it
becomes unstuck.

Jacking instructions
The jack is provided for emergency
tire changing only.
To prevent the jack from “rattling”
while the vehicle is in motion, store it
properly.
Follow jacking instructions to reduce
the possibility of personal injury. Always move the vehicle complete-
ly off the road and onto the shoul-
der before trying to change a tire.
The jack should be used on firm
level ground. If you cannot find a
firm, level place off the road, call a
towing service company for assis-
tance.
Be sure to use the correct front and rear jacking positions on the vehi-
cle; never use the bumpers or any
other part of the vehicle for jack
support.
Do not allow anyone to remain in the vehicle while it is on the jack.
Make sure any children present are in a secure place away from
the road and from the vehicle to be
raised with the jack.
WARNING- Changing
tires
Never attempt vehicle repairs in
the traffic lanes of a public road
or highway.

WARNING- Tire Jack
Do not place any portion of your
body under a vehicle that is
only supported by a jack since
the vehicle can easily roll off the
jack. Use vehicle support
stands.
WARNING- Running vehi- cle on jack
Do not start or run the engine of
the vehicle while the vehicle is
on the jack as this may cause
the vehicle to fall off the jack.
