Non-operational conditions of
reverse parking distance
warning
The reverse parking distance
warning may not operate properly
when:
1. Moisture is frozen to the sensor. (It will operate normally once the
moisture clears.)
2. The sensor is covered with foreign matter, such as snow or water, or
the sensor cover is blocked. (It will
operate normally when the materi-
al is removed or the sensor is no
longer blocked.)
3. Driving on uneven road surfaces (unpaved roads, gravel, bumps,
gradients, etc.).
4. Objects generating excessive noise (vehicle horns, loud motor-
cycle engines, or truck air brakes)
are within range of the sensor.
5. Rain or water spray exists.
6. Wireless transmitters or mobile phones are within range of the
sensor.
7. The sensor is covered with snow.
8. Trailer towing The detecting range may decrease
when:
1. The sensor is covered with foreign
matter such as snow or water.
(The sensing range will return to
normal when removed.)
2. Outside air temperature is extremely hot or cold.
The following objects may not be
recognized by the sensor:
1. Sharp or slim objects such as ropes, chains or small poles.
2. Objects which tend to absorb the sensor frequency such as clothes,
sound absorbent material or snow.
3. Undetectable objects smaller than 1 m (40 in.) in height and narrower
than 14 cm (6 in.) in diameter.

Limitation of the system
The FCA system is designed to mon-
itor the vehicle ahead through cam-
era recognition to warn the driver
that a collision is imminent, and if
necessary, apply emergency brak-
ing. In certain situations, the camera
may not be able to detect the vehicle
ahead. In these cases, the FCA sys-
tem may not operate. The driver must
pay careful attention in the following
situations where the FCA operation
may be limited:
Recognizing vehicles
- The camera is contaminated withforeign substances.
- It heavily rains or snows.
- There is electromagnetic interfer- ence
- The vehicle in front has a narrow body. (i.e. motorcycles and bicy-
cles)
- 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.
- The vehicle driving is unstable.
- The camera sensor recognition is limited.
- The driver's field of view is not well illuminated (either too dark, too
much reflection, or too much back-
light that obscures the field of view)(Continued)
The regular braking functionwill 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 colli-
sion.
The FCA system may not acti- vate in certain situations and
according to driving condi-
tion, traffic on the road,
weather, road conditions, etc.
The FCA system may not acti- vate in response to all types
of vehicles.

Driving your vehicle
Recognizing vehicles
- 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. motorcycles and bicy-
cles)
- 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.
- The vehicle driving is unstable.
- The radar/camera sensor recogni- tion is limited. - The driver's field of view is not well
illuminated (either too dark, too
much reflection, or too much back-
light that obscures the field of view)
- There is severe irregular reflection from the radar sensor
- The vehicle in front is driving errat- ically
- The vehicle is driven near areas containing metal substances such
as a construction zone, railroad,
etc.
- Backlight is reflected in the direc- tion of the vehicle (including front
light from the vehicle ahead)
- Moisture on the windshield is not completely removed or is frozen.
- The weather is misty.
- The vehicle in front does not turn ON the rear lights, does not have
rear lights, has asymmetric rear
lights, or has rear lights out of
angle. - Driving on a curve
The FCA performance may be limit-
ed while driving on a curve. The FCA
may not recognize the vehicle in front
even if in the same lane. It may pro-
duce the warning message and the
warning alarm prematurely, or it may
not produce the warning message or
the warning alarm at all. When driv-
ing on a curve, exercise caution,
maintain a safe braking distance,
and if necessary, depress the brake
pedal to reduce your driving speed in
order to maintain a safe distance.

If a vehicle which moves into your
lane is faster than your vehicle,
your vehicle will accelerate to the
selected speed.
Your vehicle may accelerate whena vehicle ahead of you moves out
of the sensor's range and is not
detected.
When you are warned that the vehicle ahead of you is not detect-
ed, drive with caution.Vehicle recognition
Some of the following vehicles ahead
in your lane may not be recognized
by the sensor:
- Narrow vehicles such as motorcy-cles or bicycles
- Vehicles offset to one side
- Slow-moving vehicles or suddenly decelerating vehicles
- Stopped vehicles
- Vehicles with small rear profiles such as trailers with no loads

Always be cautious when
approaching vehicles that are taller
with higher clearance, or vehicles
carrying loads that stick out of the
back of the vehicle.

WARNING
When using the Smart Cruise
Control, take the following pre-
cautions:
If an emergency stop is nec-essary, you must apply the
brakes. The smart cruise con-
trol system may not be able to
completely stop the vehicle or
avoid a collision in every situ-
ation.
Keep a safe distance accord- ing to road conditions and
vehicle speed. If the vehicle to
vehicle distance is too close
during high-speed driving, a
serious collision may result.
Always maintain sufficient braking distance and deceler-
ate your vehicle by applying
the brakes if necessary.
The Smart Cruise Control sys- tem may not recognize a
stopped vehicle, pedestrians
or an oncoming vehicle.
(Continued)
WARNING- Inclines andtowing
Do not use the smart cruise
control system on steep
inclines or when towing another
vehicle or trailer since such
extreme loading can interfere
with your vehicle's ability to
maintain the selected speed.

When there is inclement weather
such as heavy snow or rain.
(To use the BCW system, remove the
trailer or carrier from your vehicle.)
Turn off the system by pressing the
BCW switch and deselecting Rear
Cross-Traffic Collision Warning
(RCCW) from the User Settings
mode on the cluster, when using a
trailer or carrier behind your vehicle. If any of these conditions occur, the
light on the BCW switch and the sys-
tem will turn off automatically.
When the BCW canceled warning
message is displayed in the cluster,
check to make sure that the rear
bumper is free from any dirt or snow
in the areas where the sensor is
located. Remove any dirt, snow, or
foreign material that could interfere
with the radar sensors.
After any dirt or debris is removed,
the BCW system should operate nor-
mally after about 10 minutes of driv-
ing the vehicle.
If the system still does not operate
normally, have your vehicle inspect-
ed by an authorized Kia dealer.
If the system does not work properly,
a warning message will appear and
the light on the switch will turn off. The
system will turn off automatically.
In this situation, take your vehicle to
an authorized Kia dealer and have
the system checked.
