WARNING  
 Forward Collision-AvoidanceAssist (FCA) system system
when towing a vehicle.
Application of FCA system
while towing may adversely
affect the safety of your vehi-
cle or the towing vehicle.
 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.
 FCA system is designed to detect and monitor the vehicle
ahead or detect a pedestrian or
cyclist in the roadway through
radar signals and camera
recognition. It is not designed
to detect bicycles, motorcy-
cles, or smaller wheeled
objects such as luggage bags,
shopping carts, or strollers.

 Do not disassemble the front
view camera for window tint-
ing or installing any forms of
coatings or accessories.
If you disassemble and
reassemble the camera, take
your vehicle to an authorized
K900 Kia dealer and have the
system checked to see if a
calibration is needed.
 When you replace the wind- shield glass, front view cam-
era or related parts of the
steering, take your vehicle to
an authorized K900 Kia dealer
and have the system checked
to see if a calibration is need-
ed.
 The system is designed to detect lane markers using a
front view camera. If the lane
markers are hard to detect,
then the system may be limit-
ed. Always be cautious when
using the system.
(Continued)(Continued)
 When the lane markers arehard to detect, please refer to
“Driver’s Attention”.
 Do not remove or damage the related parts of LKA system.
 Do not place objects on the dashboard that reflect light
such as mirrors, white paper,
etc. It may cause malfunction
of LKA system if the sunlight
is reflected.
 You may not hear the warning sound of LKA system because
of excessive audio sound.
 When other beeps such as the seat belt warning sound are in
operation and override LKA
alarming system, LKA beeps
may not occur.
 At high vehicle speeds, the steering torque assistance
may not be enough to keep
your vehicle within the lane,
and the vehicle may move out
of its lane. Obey all speed lim-
its when using LKA system.
(Continued)(Continued)
 If you attach objects to thesteering wheel, the system
may not assist steering.
 If you attach objects to the steering wheel, the hands off
alarm may not work properly.

lines.
When the conditions below are met,
LKA system will be enable to assist
steering.
 Vehicle speed is above 40 mph (64km/h).
 Both lane markers are detected by LKA system.
 The vehicle is between the lane markers.
If LKA system can assist steering, a
green LKA system indicator will illu-
minate.
If the vehicle moves out its lane
because steering torque for assis-
tance is not enough, the line indica-
tor of deviation direction will blink
and the warning sound or steering
wheel vibration warning is provided.
If the driver takes hands off the steer-
ing wheel for several seconds while
LKA is activated, the system will
warn the driver.
WARNING  
 The warning message may bedelayed according to road
conditions. Therefore, always
have your hands on the steer-
ing wheel while driving.
 If you hold the steering wheel too lightly, the system could
generate the hands off warn-
ing because LKA system may
think you are not grabbing the
wheel.

 If you press BCW/BCA button
while 'Active Assist' or 'Warning
Only' is selected the indicator on
the button extinguishes and the
system deactivates.
 If you press BCW/BCA button while the system is cancelled the
indicator on the button illuminates
and the system activates. In this
case, the system returns to the
state before the engine turned off.
When the system is initially turned
on and when the engine is turned
off then on again while the system
is in activation, the warning light
will illuminate for 3 seconds on the
outside rearview mirror.  If the engine is turned off then on
again, the system maintains the
last setting.
 The driver can select the initial warning activation time in the AVN
by selecting “AVN  →Setup  →
Vehicle  →Driver Assistance →
Warning Timing”
 The options for the initial Blind- Spot Collision Warning includes
the following:
- Normal:
When this condition is selected,the initial Blind-Spot Collision
Warning is activated normally. If
this setting feels too sensitive
change the option to 'later'.
The warning activation time may feel late if the side/rear vehicle
abruptly accelerates. - Later:
Select this warning activation
time when the traffic is light and
you are driving in a low speed.
However, if you change the warn-
ing activation time, the warning
activation time of vehicle's other
system may also change. Check
the warning activation time before
changing it.

Blind-Spot Collision Warning
(BCW) system
First stage alert
If a vehicle is detected within the
boundary of the system, a warning
light will illuminate on the outside
rearview mirror and the head up dis-
play (if equipped).
Once the detected vehicle is no
longer within the blind spot area, the
warning will turn off according to the
driving conditions of the vehicle.

[A] : Warning sound
Second stage alert
A warning chime to alert the driver will activate when:
1. A vehicle has been detected in the blind spot area by the radar system  AND.
2. The turn signal is applied (same side as where the vehicle is being detected).
When this alert is activated, the warning light on the outside rearview mirror and
the head up display (if equipped) will also blink. And a warning chime will sound.
If you turn off the turn signal indicator, the second stage alert will be deactivated.
Once the detected vehicle is no longer within the blind spot area, the warn-
ing will turn off according to the driving conditions of the vehicle.

Blind-Spot Collision-AvoidanceAssist (BCA) system
Blind-Spot Collision-Avoidance
Assist (BCA) system may apply brak-
ing power when an approaching
vehicle is detected within a certain
distance next to/behind your vehicle.
WARNING  
 The warning light on the out- side rearview mirror will illu-
minate whenever a vehicle is
detected at the rear side by
the system.
To avoid accidents, do not
focus only on the warning
light and neglect to see the
surrounding of the vehicle.
 Drive safely even though the vehicle is equipped with a
Blind-Spot Collision Warning
(BCW) system. Do not solely
rely on the system but check
your surrounding before
changing lanes or backing the
vehicle up.
 The system may not alert the driver in some conditions so
always check your surround-
ings while driving.
CAUTION
 The driver should always use extreme caution while operat-ing the vehicle, whether or notthe warning light on the out-side rearview mirror illumi-nates or there is a warningalarm.
 Playing the vehicle audio sys- tem at high volume may offsetBlind-Spot Collision Warning(BCW) system warningsounds.
 If any other warning sound such as seat belt warningchime is already generated,the Blind-Spot CollisionWarning (BCW) system warn-ing may not sound.

Blind-Spot Collision Warning (BCW)
system disabled. 
Radar blocked
 This warning message may appear
when :
- One or both of the sensors on therear bumper is blocked by dirt or
snow or a foreign object.
- When a trailer or carrier is installed.
- Driving in rural areas where the sensor does not detect another
vehicle for an extended period of
time.
- When there is inclement weather such as heavy snow or rain.
If any of these conditions occur, the
light on BCW/BCA switch and the
system will turn off automatically.
Turn off the BCW, BCA and RCCW
system (if equipped) when a trailer or
carrier is installed.
- Press the BCW/BCA button (the indicator on the button extinguish)
- Deactivate the RCCW system by deselecting 
“AVN  →Setup  →Vehicle  →Driver
Assistance  →Blind-Spot Safety
→ Rear Cross-Traffic Collision
Warning” (if equipped)
If you use BCW, BCA and RCCW
system, remove a trailer or carrier.
When BCW system canceled warn-
ing message is displayed in the clus-
ter, 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.(Continued)  Pay extreme caution to keep the camera sensor out of water.
 NEVER locate any reflective objects (i.e. white paper, mir-ror) over the crash pad. Anylight reflection may cause amalfunction of the system.
