- Vehicle speed is lower than 95 mph (153 km/h)
When the system is activated, the
indicator ( ) on the cluster will illu-
minate. The color of the indicator will
change depending on the condition
of the LFA system.
- Green : Steering assist mode is
ON

LFA system activation
If the vehicle is inside the lane with
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

System setting and activation
System setting
The driver can activate the sys-
tems by placing the ignition switch
to the ON position and by selecting
“AVN →Setup →Vehicle →Driver
Assistance →Parking Safety →
Rear Cross-Traffic Safety system”.
RCCA and RCCW system turn on
and get ready to be activated when
'Rear Cross-Traffic safety' is select-
ed.
When the engine is turned off then on again, the systems always get
ready to be activated.
When the system is initially turned on and when the engine is turned
off then on again, the warning light
will illuminate for 3 seconds on the
outside side view mirror.
The driver can select the initial warn-
ing activation time in the AVN by
selecting “AVN →Setup →Vehicle
→ Driver Assistance →Warning
Timing”. The options for the initial
Rear Cross-Traffic Collision Warning
(RCCW) system includes the follow-
ing: - Normal:
When this condition is selected, the
initial Rear Cross-Traffic Collision
Warning (RCCW) system is activat-
ed 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 warning activation
time, the warning activation time of
vehicle's other system may also
change. Check the warning activa-
tion time before changing it.
The driver can select the warning vol-
ume of the Rear Cross-Traffic
Collision Warning (RCCW) system by
selecting “AVN
→Setup →Vehicle →
Driver Assistance → Warning Volume
→ High/Medium/Low”. However, if
you change the warning volume, the
warning volume of vehicle's other
system may also change.
Operating conditions
To operate:
Go to the “AVN → Setup →Vehicle

Safety →Rear Cross-Traffic Safety”.
on the AVN. The system will turn on
and standby to activate.
The system will activate when vehi-
cle speed is below 6 mph (10 km/h)
and with the shift lever in R
(Reverse).
* The system will not activate when the vehicle speed exceeds 6 mph
(10 km/h). The system will activate
again when the speed is below 5
mph (8 km/h).
The system's detecting range is
approximately 1 ft ~ 65 ft (0.5 m ~ 20
m). An approaching vehicle will be
detected if their vehicle speed is with-
in 5 mph ~ 22.5 mph (8 km/h ~ 36
km/h). Note that the detecting range
may vary under certain conditions.
As always, use caution and pay
close attention to your surroundings
when backing up your vehicle.

WARNING - Engine off
during motion
Never turn the engine off to
coast down hills or anytime the
vehicle is in motion. The power
steering and power brakes will
not function properly without the
engine running. In addition, turn-
ing off the ignition while driving
could lead to out of working
power driven steering wheel and
hard to control steering wheel.
Keep the engine on and down-
shift to an appropriate gear for
an engine braking effect.
Remember, your vehicle does not require extended warm-up. After
the engine has started, allow the
engine to run for 10 to 20 seconds
prior to placing the vehicle in gear.
In very cold weather, however, give
your engine a slightly longer warm-
up period.
Don't "lug" or "over-rev" the engine. Lugging is driving too slowly in a
very high gear resulting in engine
bucking. If this happens, shift to a
lower gear. Over-revving is racing
the engine beyond its safe limit.
This can be avoided by shifting at
the recommended speed. Use your air conditioning sparingly.
The air conditioning system is
operated by engine power so your
fuel economy is reduced when you
use it.
Open windows at high speeds can reduce fuel economy.
Fuel economy is decreases in crosswinds and headwinds. To help
offset some of this loss, slow down
when driving in these conditions.
Keeping a vehicle in good operating
condition is important both for econ-
omy and safety. Therefore, have an
authorized K900 Kia dealer perform
scheduled inspections and mainte-
nance.

Change to "winter weight" oil
if necessary
In some climates, it is recommended
that a lower viscosity "winter weight"
oil be used during cold weather. See
Chapter 8 for recommendations. If
you aren't sure what weight oil you
should use, consult an authorized
K900 Kia dealer.
Check spark plugs and ignition
system
Inspect your spark plugs as
described in Chapter 7 and replace
them if necessary. Also check all
ignition wiring and components to be
sure they are not cracked, worn or
damaged in any way.
To keep locks from freezing
To keep the locks from freezing,
squirt an approved de-icer fluid or
glycerine into the key opening. If a
lock is covered with ice, squirt it with
an approved de-icing fluid to remove
the ice. If the lock is frozen internally,
you may be able to thaw it out by
using a heated key. Handle the heat-
ed key with care to avoid injury.
Use approved window washer
anti-freeze in system
To keep the water in the window
washer system from freezing, add an
approved window washer anti-freeze
solution in accordance with instruc-
tions on the container. Window wash-
er anti-freeze is available from an
authorized K900 Kia dealer and most
auto parts outlets. Do not use engine
coolant or other types of anti-freeze
as these may damage the paint finish.
Don’t let your parking brake
freeze
Under some conditions, your parking
brake can freeze in the engaged
position. This is most likely to happen
when there is an accumulation of
snow or ice around or near the rear
brakes or if the brakes are wet. If
there is a risk the parking brake may
freeze, apply it only temporarily while
you put the gear shift lever in P
(Park, Automatic Transmission) and
chock the rear wheels so the vehicle
cannot roll. Then release the parking
brake.

What to do in an emergency
46
IF THE ENGINE WILL NOT START
If engine doesn't turn over or
turns over slowly
1. Be sure the shift lever is in N(Neutral) or P (Park) and the
emergency brake is set.
2. Check the battery connections to be sure they are clean and tight.
3. Turn on the interior light. If the light dims or goes out when you oper-
ate the starter, the battery is dis-
charged.
4. Check the starter connections to be sure they are securely tight-
ened.
5. Do not push or pull the vehicle to start it. See instructions for "Jump
starting".
If engine turns over normally
but does not start
1. Check the fuel level.
2. With the Engine Start/Stop Buttonin the OFF position, check all con-
nectors at the ignition coils and
spark plugs. Reconnect any that
may be disconnected or loose.
3. Check the fuel line in the engine compartment.
4. If the engine still does not start, call an authorized K900 Kia dealer
or seek other qualified assistance.
WARNING - Push/
pull start
Do not push or pull the vehicle
to start it. Push or pull starting
may cause the catalytic con-
verter to overload and create a
fire hazard.

What to do in an emergency
EMERGENCY STARTING
Connect cables in numerical order
and disconnect in reverse order.
Jump starting
Jump starting can be dangerous if
done incorrectly. Therefore, to avoid
harm to yourself or damage to your
vehicle or battery, follow these jump
starting procedures. If in doubt, we
strongly recommend that you have a
competent technician or towing serv-
ice jump start your vehicle.
CAUTION - Push/pull start
to 12 Volt Battery
Use only a 12-volt jumper sys- tem. You can damage a 12-voltstarting motor, ignition system,and other electrical partsbeyond repair by use of a 24-volt power supply (either two12-volt batteries in series or a24-volt motor generator set).
WARNING- Battery
Never attempt to check the elec-
trolyte level of the battery as
this may cause the battery to
rupture or explode.
WARNING- Frozen batteries
Do not attempt to jump start the
vehicle if the discharged battery
is frozen or if the electrolyte
level is low, as the battery may
rupture or explode.
WARNING- Sulfuric acid risk
When jump starting your vehi-
cle, be careful not to get acid on
yourself, your clothing or on the
vehicle. Automobile batteries
contain sulfuric acid. This is poi-
sonous and highly corrosive.
WARNING- Battery
Keep all flames or sparks away
from the battery. The battery
produces hydrogen gas which
will explode if exposed to flame
or sparks.ORJ068005L
