In an angled collision, the force of
impact may direct the occupants in
a direction where the air bags
would not be able to provide any
additional benefit, and thus the
sensors may not deploy any air
bags. Just before impact, drivers often
brake heavily. Such heavy braking
lowers the front portion of the vehi-
cle causing it to “ride” under a vehi-
cle with a higher ground clearance.
Air bags may not inflate in this
“under-ride” situation because
deceleration forces that are detect-
ed by sensors may be significantly
reduced by such “under-ride” colli-
sions. Front air bags may not inflate in all
rollover accidents where the
SRSCM indicates that the front air
bag deployment would not provide
additional occupant protection.

Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist
(FCA) system is designed to help
detect and monitor the vehicle ahead
or detect a pedestrian or cyclists in
the roadway through radar signals
and camera recognition to warn the
driver that a collision is imminent,
and if necessary, apply emergency
braking.System setting and activation
System setting
The driver can activate FCA sys-tem by pushing the start button
(engine running) and by selecting :
“AVN →Setup →Vehicle →Driver
Assistance →Forward Safety”
- If you select “Active assistance”, FCA system activates. FCA pro-
duces warning messages and
warning alarms in accordance
with the collision risk levels. Also,
it controls the brakes in accor-
dance with the collision risk lev-
els.
- If you select “Warning only”, FCA system activates and produces
only warning alarms in accor-
dance with the collision risk lev-
els. You should control the brake
directly because FCA system do
not control the brake.
- If you select “OFF”, FCA system deactivates,
FORWARD COLLISION-AVOIDANCE ASSIST (FCA) SYSTEM - SENSOR FUSION TYPE
(FRONT CAMERA + FRONT RADAR)
WARNING
Take the following precautions
when using the Forward
Collision-avoidance Assist
(FCA) system:
This system is only a supple- mental system and is not
intended to, nor does it,
replace the need for extreme
care and attention of the driv-
er. The sensing range and
objects detectable by the sen-
sors are limited. Pay attention
to the road conditions at all
times.
NEVER drive too fast for the road conditions or while cor-
nering.
Always drive cautiously to prevent unexpected and sud-
den situations from occur-
ring. FCA system does not
stop the vehicle completely
and is not a collision avoid-
ance system.

The system will operate normally
when such dirt, snow or debris is
removed.
FCA system may not properly oper-
ate in an area (e.g. open terrain),
where any substances are not
detected after turning ON the engine.System malfunction
Check Forward Collision Avoidance
Assist system
When FCA system is not working
properly, FCA system warning light
( ) will illuminate and the warn-
ing message will appear for a few
seconds. After the message disap-
pears, the master warning light
( ) will illuminate. If this occurs,
we recommend that you have the
vehicle inspected by an authorized
K900 Kia dealer.
FCA system warning message may appear along with the illumi-
nation of the ESC (Electronic
Stability Control) warning light.
ORJ058165L
WARNING
FCA is only a supplementalsystem for the driver's con-
venience. The driver should
hold the responsibility to con-
trol the vehicle operation. Do
not solely depend on FCA
system. Rather, maintain a
safe braking distance, and, if
necessary, depress the brake
pedal to reduce the driving
speed.
In certain instances and under certain driving condi-
tions, FCA system may acti-
vate unintentionally. This ini-
tial warning message appears
on the LCD display with a
warning chime.
Also, in certain instances the
front radar sensor or camera
recognition system may not
detect the vehicle, pedestrian
or cyclist ahead. FCA system
may not activate and the
warning message may not be
displayed.
(Continued)
WARNING
FCA System may not activate
according to the road condi-
tions, inclement weather, driv-
ing conditions or traffic condi-
tions.

Limitations of the system
Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist
(FCA) system is designed to monitor
the vehicle or pedestrian or cyclist
ahead in the roadway through radar
signals and camera recognition to
warn the driver that a collision is
imminent, and if necessary, apply
emergency braking.
In certain situations, the radar sensor
or the camera may not be able to
detect the vehicle or pedestrian or
cyclist ahead. In these cases, FCA
system may not operate normally.
The driver must pay careful attention
in the following situations where FCA
operation may be limited.
Detecting vehicles
The sensor may be limited when:
The system may not work around
15 seconds after starting the vehi-
cle or the initialization or rebooting
of the front view camera.
The radar sensor or camera is blocked with a foreign object or
debris.
The camera lens is contaminated due to tinted, filmed or coated
windshield, damaged glass, or
stuck of foreign matter (sticker,
bug, etc.) on the glass.
Inclement weather such as heavy rain or snow obscures the field of
view of the radar sensor or cam-
era.
There is interference by electro- magnetic waves.
There is severe irregular reflection from the radar sensor.
The radar/camera sensor recogni- tion is limited.
The vehicle in front is too small to be detected (for example a motor-
cycle etc.).(Continued)
FCA system cannot detectany cross traffic cyclists that
are approaching.
In these cases, you must
maintain a safe braking dis-
tance, and if necessary,
depress the brake pedal to
reduce the driving speed in
order to maintain a safe dis-
tance.

- 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.
