ed when FCA system is selected on
the LCD display, and when the fol-
lowing prerequisites are satisfied.
- The ESC (Electronic StabilityControl) is on.
- Vehicle speed is over 6 mph (10 km/h). (FCA system is only activat-
ed within a certain speed range.)
- The system detects a pedestrian, cyclist or a vehicle in front, which
may collide with your vehicle. (FCA
system may not be activated or
may sound a warning alarm in
accordance with the driving situa-
tion or vehicle condition. If you
select "Warning only", FCA system
activates and produces only warn-
ing alarms in accordance with the
collision risk levels.)
❈ FCA system may not operate prop-
erly according to the frontal situa-
tion, the direction of pedestrian or
cyclist and speed.
FCA warning message and
system control
FCA system produces warning mes-
sages, and warning alarms, in accor-
dance with the collision risk levels,
such as abrupt stopping of the vehi-
cle in front, insufficient braking dis-
tance, pedestrian or cyclist detec-
tion. Also, it controls the brakes in
accordance with the collision risk lev-
els.
The driver can select the initial warn-
ing activation time in the Settings in
the AVN. The options for the initial
Forward Collision Warning include
Normal or Late initial warning time.
WARNING
Completely stop the vehicle
on a safe location before
operating the switch on the
steering wheel to activate/
deactivate the FCA system.
FCA system automatically activates upon placing the
Engine Start/Stop button to
the ON position. The driver
can deactivate FCA system by
canceling the system setting
on the LCD display.
FCA system automatically deactivates upon canceling
the ESC (Electronic Stability
Control). When the ESC is
canceled, FCA system cannot
be activated on the LCD dis-
play. FCA system warning

Collision Warning (First warning)
This warning message appears on
the LCD display with a warning
chime. Additionally, the engine man-
agement system intervenes to help
decelerate the vehicle.
The Vehicle may slow down slightly.
It will operate if the vehicle speed is
greater than 5 mph (8 km/h) and
less than or equal to 110 mph (180
km/h) on a forward vehicle.
(Depending on the condition of the
vehicle ahead and the environment
surrounding it, the possible maxi-
mum operating speed may be
reduced.) For pedestrians and cyclists, the
vehicle speed is greater than or
equal to 5 mph (8 km/h) and less
than 40 mph (65 km/h).
(Depending on the condition of
pedestrians and bike riders and
the surrounding environment the
possible maximum operating
speed may be reduced.)
If you select “Warning only”, for FCA system setting, FCA system
activates and produces only warn-
ing alarms in accordance with the
collision risk levels. You should
control the brake directly because
FCA system will not control the
brake.
Emergency braking
(Second warning)
This warning message appears on
the LCD display with a warning
chime.
Additionally, the engine management
system intervenes to help decelerate
the vehicle.
The brake control is maximized just
before a collision, reducing impact
when it strikes a forward vehicle.

Driving your vehicle
It will operate if the vehicle speed isgreater than 5 mph (8 km/h) and
less than or equal to 47 mph (75
km/h) on a forward vehicle.
(Depending on the condition of the
vehicle ahead and the environment
surrounding it, the possible maxi-
mum operating speed may be
reduced.)
For pedestrians and cyclists, the vehicle speed is greater than or
equal to 5 mph (8 km/h) and less
than 40 mph (65 km/h).
(Depending on the condition of
pedestrians and bike riders and
the surrounding environment the
possible maximum operating
speed may be reduced.)
If you select “Warning only”, for FCA system setting, FCA system
activates and produces only warn-
ing alarms in accordance with the
collision risk levels. You should
control the brake directly because
FCA system will not control the
brake.Brake operation
In an emergency situation, thebraking system enters in ready sta-
tus for prompt reaction upon the
driver depressing the brake pedal.
FCA system provides additional braking power for optimum braking
performance when the driver
depresses the brake pedal.
The braking control is automatical- ly deactivated when the driver
depresses the accelerator pedal
quickly, or when the driver abruptly
operates the steering wheel.
FCA system brake control is auto- matically canceled when risk fac-
tors disappear.
WARNING
The braking control cannot
completely stop the vehicle nor
avoid all collisions. The driver
should hold the responsibility
to safely drive and control the
vehicle.
CAUTION
The driver should always useextreme caution while operatingthe vehicle, whether or not thereis a warning message or alarmfrom FCA system.

- Driving on a curve
The performance of FCA system
may be limited when driving on a
curved road.
On curved roads, the other vehicle
on the same lane is not recognized
and FCA system's performance may
be degraded. This may result in
unnecessary alarm or braking or no
alarm or braking when necessary.
Also, in certain instances the front
radar sensor or camera recognition
system may not detect the vehicle
traveling on a curved road. In these cases, the driver must main-
tain a safe braking distance, and if
necessary, depress the brake pedal
to reduce your driving speed in order
to maintain a safe distance.
When driving on a curve the driver
must maintain a safe braking dis-
tance, and if necessary, depress the
brake pedal to reduce your driving
speed in order to maintain a safe dis-
tance.
FCA system may recognize a vehicle
in the next lane when driving on a
curved road.
In this situation, the system may
unnecessarily alarm the driver and
apply the brake.
Always pay attention to road and
driving conditions, while driving. If
necessary, depress the brake pedal
to reduce your driving speed in order
to maintain a safe distance.
Also, when necessary depress the
accelerator pedal to prevent the sys-
tem from unnecessarily decelerating
your vehicle.
Check to be sure that the road con-
ditions permit safe operation of FCA
system.

Driving your vehicle
- Driving on a slope
The performance of FCA system
decreases while driving upward or
downward on a slope, not recogniz-
ing the vehicle in front in the same
lane.
It may unnecessarily produce the
warning message and the warning
alarm, or it may not produce the
warning message and the warning
alarm at all.
When FCA system suddenly recog-
nizes the vehicle in front while pass-
ing over a slope, you may experience
sharp deceleration.Always keep your eyes forward while
driving upward or downward on a
slope, and, if necessary, depress the
brake pedal to reduce your driving
speed in order to maintain distance.
- Changing lanes
When a vehicle changes lanes in
front of you, FCA system may not
immediately detect the vehicle, espe-
cially if the vehicle changes lanes
abruptly. In this situation, you must
maintain a safe braking distance,
and if necessary, depress the brake
pedal to reduce your driving speed in
order to maintain a safe distance.

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.
