LKA system fail indicator
The LKA system fail indicator (yel-
low) will illuminate if the LKA system
is not working properly. If this occurs,
have the system checked by an
authorized K900 Kia dealer.
LKA system function change
The driver can change LKA to Lane
Departure Warning (LDW) or change
the LKA mode from the AVN.
Lane Keeping Assist
The LKA mode guides the driver to
keep the vehicle within the lanes. It
rarely controls the steering wheel
when the vehicle drives well inside
the lanes. However, it starts to con-
trol the steering wheel when the
vehicle is about to deviate from the
lanes.
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 lane line, LKA issues
the lane departure warning.

System description
Blind-Spot Collision Warning (BCW)
Blind-Spot Collision Warning (BCW)
system uses radar sensors in the
rear bumper to monitor and warn the
driver of an approaching vehicle in
the driver's blind spot area.
1) Blind-Spot Area
The blind spot detection range varies
relative to vehicle speed.
Note that if your vehicle is traveling
much faster than the vehicles around
you, the warning will not occur. 2) Closing at high speed
BCW system feature will alert you
when a vehicle is approaching in an
adjacent lane at a high rate of speed.
If the driver activates the turn signal
when the system detects an oncom-
ing vehicle, the system sounds an
audible alert.
Blind-Spot Collision-Avoidance
Assist (BCA)
Blind-Spot Collision-Avoidance
Assist (BCA) system detects the
front lane through the camera
installed on the upper front wind-
shield and detects the side/rear
areas through radar sensors.
BCA system may activate the
Electronic Stability Control (ESC) in
accordance with a colliding possibili-
ty with an approaching vehicle while
changing lanes. It is to lower the col-
liding risk or mitigate the colliding
damage.
