The warning light illumi-
nates on the LCD display,
when you cancel FCA sys-
tem. The driver can moni-
tor FCA system ON/OFF status on
the LCD display. Also, the warning
light illuminates when the ESC
(Electronic Stability Control) is
turned off. If the warning light
remains ON when FCA system is
activated, we recommend that you
have the system checked by an
authorized K900 Kia dealer.
The driver can select the initial warning activation time on the LCD
display.
Go to the “AVN → Setup →Vehicle
→ Driver Assistance → Forward
Safety”. The options for the initial Forward
Collision Warning includes the fol-
lowing:
- Normal:
When this condition is selected,
the initial Forward Collision
Warning is activated sensitively. If
you feel the warning activates too
early, set the Forward Collision
Warning to 'Later'. Even though,
'Normal' is selected if the front
vehicle suddenly stops the initial
warning activation time may not
seem fast.
- Later: When this condition is selected,
the initial Forward Collision
Warning is activated later than nor-
mal. This setting reduces the
amount of distance between the
vehicle or pedestrian or cyclist
ahead before the initial warning
occurs.
Select 'Later' when traffic is light
and when driving speed is slow.✽ ✽ NOTICE
If you change the warning timing,
the warning timing of other systems
may change. Always be aware of
warning timing before changing the
warning timing.

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

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.
