With the Engine Start /Stop button in the ON position, press the LK A button A to turn
system ON . The instrument cluster indicator will initially illuminate white . It will
remain white when the vehicle is traveling less than 40 mph or the system does not
detect the lane markers . When the LK A system detects the lane markers and can
assist the steering, the LK A icon will illuminate green .
If the LK A detects that you are moving outside of your lane, the system may give an
audible warning and display a LDW (Lane Departure Warning) alert on the instrument
cluster . If the vehicle continues to move outside of the lane, the LK A will apply a slight
adjustment to the steering, trying to prevent the vehicle from moving outside its lane .
LK A is the operating mode by default when the LK A button is
depressed to ON . To switch between modes (Lane Keep Assist,
Active LK A and Lane Departure), go to User Settings in the
Instrument Cluster .
All systems will operate under the following conditions:
•The vehicle exceeds approximately 40 mph
•The LK A system recognizes both sides of the lane markers the
vehicle is traveling in
•The vehicle is between the lane markers
REMINDERS:
• LK A will not issue a warning if the turn signal or hazard signal is activated
• LK A /LDW will return to its previous state when the ignition is cycled
• LK A /LDW are not substitutes for safe and proper driving . Always drive safely and use caution
• LK A /LDW may not always alert the driver if the vehicle is about to be driven outside of its lane . Always drive safely and use caution . Refer to the Owner’s Manual for more information
Lane Keeping Assist is not a substitute for safe driving, and may not always alert the driver if the vehicle is moving outside of its lane. Always drive safely and use caution.
Your vehicle’s instrument cluster & indicator light locations may differ from those in the illustrations. For more information on the instrument cluster, please refer to the Owner’s Manual.
These illustrations are for demonstration purposes only. Some indicators and warning lights may not appear in illustration. On the vehicle, they may appear in the LCD.
When the LK A sensor detects the lane traveled in, both lanes are illuminatedWhen the LK A sensor does not detect the lane traveled in, the lanes are not illuminated
When the LK A sensor detects the vehicle moving outside of the lane being traveled in, a yellow indicator will illuminate either on the left or right lane (shown in both images above)

Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist
(FCA)†6a
The FCA is designed to help alert the driver, and under certain
conditions, apply emergency braking, when rapidly approaching
a vehicle that is slowing down, braking or stopped . Initially, the
FCA provides Forward Collision Warning (FCW ) when it detects
a potential collision with a vehicle in front, emitting an audible
warning and visual alert on the instrument cluster .
Adjust the alert settings (Early, Normal, Late) in the User
Settings . To turn the FCA /FCW off, go to User Settings again
and turn it off .
If the collision risk has increased, the Forward Collision-
Avoidance Assist (FCA) automatically applies the brakes to
reduce your speed, potentially helping to reduce the effects of a
possible collision . FCA is ON by default and can be turned OFF
in the User Settings menu on the Instrument Cluster display .
The FCA /FCW will become active when the:
• Engine Start /Stop button is ON
• Vehicle is traveling more than 5 mph
• Electronic Stability Control (ESC) is ON
Lane Following Assist (LFA) System*)†6a
The Lane Following Assist (LFA) System is designed to help
ensure that the vehicle stays in its lane by monitoring the
detected lane ahead and adjusting steering .
To activate or deactivate the LFA System, go to User Settings
in the Instrument Cluster by pressing the Mode button on the
Steering Wheel . Select Driver Assistance > Driving Assist >
LFA (Lane Following Assist) and press the OK button A on
the Steering Wheel .
The LFA System will operate only when these conditions are
met:
• When the Smart Cruise Control (SCC) is on and operating
• The vehicle is traveling faster than 5 mph and slower than
10 0 mph
Once the system starts operating, the indicator light ()
turns on in the instrument cluster . The indicator will display
the colors according to the system status as follows:
Green: ActiveWhite: Standby
The Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist (FCA) / Forward Collision Warning (FCW)* systems are not substitutes for safe and proper driving. Always drive safely and use caution. FCA/FCW may not always alert the driver when the vehicle is approaching another vehicle.
REMINDERS:
• The FCA will be activated by default when vehicle power is cycled on, even when previously set to off
• If the FCA is operating and the ESC (Electronic Stability Control) is turned off, the FCA system is automatically turned off
• When FCA system is off, the FCA warning indicator is on in the Instrument Cluster
REMINDERS:
• If the ignition is cycled, the LFA returns to its previous state, on or off
• The LFA System is not a substitute for safe and proper driving . Always drive safely and use caution

backward when accelerating from a stop while on a steep
incline .
The HAC automatically activates whether the ESC is OFF or ON
but does NOT activate when the ESC has malfunctioned .
REMINDERS:
•
The HAC does not operate when the gear shift is in the P (Park) or the N (Neutral) position
•In the event of HAC system malfunction, see Authorized Kia Dealer for service
•
