Front Camera
The Front Camera is a sensor
detecting the lane. If the sensor is
covered with snow, rain or foreign
substance, the system may tem-
porarily be cancelled and not work
properly until the cancellation due to
the degradation of the sensor's
detection performance. Always keep
the sensor clean.
* Refer to Lane Keeping Assist (LKA)system for cautions for the front
camera sensor.
Rear Corner Radars
The Rear Corner Radars are the
sensors inside the rear bumper for
detecting the side/rear areas. Always
keep the rear bumper clean for prop-
er operation of the system.CAUTION
The system may not work properly when the bumper hasbeen damaged, or if the rearbumper has been replaced orrepaired.
The sensing range differs some- what according to the width ofthe road. When the road is nar-row, the system may detectother vehicles in the next lane.
On the other hand, when the road is wide, the system maynot detect vehicles on bothlanes and may not warn.
The system may turn off if inter- fered by electromagnetic waves.
Always keep the sensors clean. NEVER arbitrarily disassem- ble the sensor component norapply any impact on the sen-sor component.
(Continued)
(Continued) Be careful not to apply unnec- essary force on the radar sen-sor or sensor cover. If the sen-sor is forcibly moved out ofproper alignment, the systemmay not operate correctly. Ifthis occurs, a warning mes-sage may not be displayed.Have the vehicle inspected byan authorized K900 Kia dealer.
Do not apply foreign objects such as a bumper sticker or abumper guard near the radarsensor or apply paint to thesensor area. Doing so mayadversely affect the perform-ance of the sensor.
NEVER install any acces- sories or stickers on the frontwindshield, nor tint the frontwindshield.

Driver Attention Warning (DAW)
system utilizes the camera sensor on
the front windshield for its opera-
tion. To keep the camera sensor in
the best condition, you should
observe the followings:
- Do not disassemble the camera
when installing tint on the windows
or applying any type of coatings or
accessories. If you disassemble or
reassemble the camera, take your
vehicle to an authorized K900 Kia

reflection may cause a mal-func-
tion of Driver Attention Warning
(DAW) system.
- Use extreme caution to keep the camera sensor out of water.
- Do not disassemble the camera assembly, nor apply any impact on
the camera assembly.
• Playing the vehicle audio system at high volume may offset the

Driving your vehicle
The system responds to curveslocated on the destination set in
the navigation. If the destination is
not set, the system will respond to
road information of the expected
route.✽ ✽ NOTICE
• Navigation-based Smart Cruise
Control is limited in other coun-
tries.
• The system may not operate due to the existence of leading vehicles
and the driving situations of the
vehicle.
• The system operates regardless of whether the sharp curve warning
appears on the navigation, but the
time gap could occur between the
warning and system operation.
• The navigation only provides curve information within permit-
ted speed ranges so that the system
may not decrease its speed during
extreme over-speed driving.
• The system is not designed to work on highways other than mentioned
as a controlled access road.
• The system automatically cancels when you leave the highway. (Continued)(Continued)
• Highway Driving Assist and
Navigation-based Smart Cruise
Control uses the same “AUTO”
symbol that indicates the status of
the system. Therefore, even if the
Navigation-based Cruise Control
is off, the “AUTO” symbol may be
displayed.
• If there is a problem with Navigation-based Smart Cruise
Control, the system cannot be acti-
vated in the AVN system screen,
and the “AUTO” symbol will turn
off. However, if Highway Driving
Assist is activated, the “AUTO”
symbol will be displayed.
• After you pass through a tollgate on a highway, the system operates
based on the first lane. If you enter
one of the other lanes, the system
might not properly decelerate.
• If you over speed, the system may not decelerate the vehicle in a
curve.
• Deceleration by the system may not be sufficient if the driver accel-
erates while the system is operat-
ing, (Continued)

Lane Following Assist (LFA) system
helps detect lane markers on the
road with a front view camera at the
front windshield, and assists the dri-
ver's steering to help keep the vehi-
cle between lanes.
LANE FOLLOWING ASSIST (LFA) SYSTEM
ORJ058024
WARNING
Lane Following Assist (LFA)
system is not a substitute for
safe driving practices, but a
convenience function. It is the
responsibility of the driver to
always be aware of the sur-
roundings and steer the vehi-
cle.
WARNING
Take the following precautions
when using Lane Following
Assist (LFA) system:
Do not turn the steering wheelsuddenly when the steering
wheel is being assisted by the
system.
LFA system helps the driver to keep the vehicle in the cen-
ter of the lane by assisting the
driver's steering. However, the
driver should not solely rely
on the system but always pay
attention on the steering
wheel to stay in the lane.
The operation of LFA system can be canceled or not work
properly according to road
condition and surroundings.
Always be cautious when
driving.

Do not disassemble LFA sys-
tem camera temporarily to tint
the window or attach any
types of coatings and acces-
sories. If you disassemble the
camera and assemble it again,
we recommend that you take
your vehicle to an authorized
retailer of Kia products and
have the system checked for
calibration.
When you replace the wind- shield glass, LFA system cam-
era or related parts of the
steering wheel, take your
vehicle to an authorized retail-
er of Kia products and have
the system checked for cali-
bration.
The system helps detect lane markers and controls the
steering wheel by a camera,
therefore, if the lane markers
are hard to detect, the system
may not work properly.
(Continued)(Continued)Please refer to “Limitations of
the System”.
Do not remove or damage the related parts of LFA system.
You may not hear a warning sound of LFA system if the
audio volume is high.
Do not place objects on the dashboard that reflects light
such as mirrors, white paper,
etc. This may prevent LFA sys-
tem from functioning proper-
ly.
Always have your hands on the steering wheel while LFA
system is activated.
The steering wheel is not con- tinuously controlled so if the
vehicle speed is at a higher
rate when leaving a lane the
vehicle may not be controlled
by the system. The driver
must always follow the speed
limit when using the system.
(Continued)(Continued)
If you attach objects to thesteering wheel, the system
may not assist steering or the
hands off alarm may not work
properly.

both lanes detected by the system
(lane color changes from gray to
white), and there is no abrupt steer-
ing made by the driver, LFA system
changes to steering assist mode.
The indicator light will come on
green, and the system helps the
vehicle stay in line by controlling the
steering wheel.
When the steering wheel is not con-
trolled temporarily, the indicator light
will flash green and changes to
white.
LFA system ensures the vehicle
stays in its lane. LFA system does
not guarantee 100% safety. Make
sure you make decisions on the road
after checking the road conditions
and safety matters while driving.
Never completely rely on your LFA
system.
