Detecting pedestrians
The sensor may be limited when:
The pedestrian is not fully detectedby the front view camera recogni-
tion system, for example, if the
pedestrian is leaning over or is not
fully walking upright.
The pedestrian is moving very quickly or appears abruptly in the
camera detection area.
The pedestrian is wearing clothing that easily blends into the back-
ground, making it difficult to be
detected by the camera recogni-
tion system.
The outside lighting is too bright (e.g. when driving in bright sunlight
or in sun glare) or too dark (e.g.
when driving on a dark rural road
at night).
It is difficult to detect and distin- guish the pedestrian from other
objects in the surroundings, for
example, when there is a group of
pedestrians, or a large crowd. There is an item similar to a per-
son's body structure.
The pedestrian is small.
The pedestrian has impaired mobility.
In case of camera sensor recogni- tion is in a marginal state.
When the pedestrian suddenly interrupts in front of the vehicle.
When there is any other electro- magnetic interference.
When the construction area, rail or other metal object is near the
pedestrian.
In case of a large number of pedestrians are gathered.
When it is difficult to distinguish between surroundings and pedes-
trians.
When it is at night or in dark sur- roundings.WARNING
Do not use Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist system
when towing a vehicle.
Application of FCA system
while towing may adversely
affect the safety of your vehi-
cle or the towing vehicle.
Use extreme caution when the vehicle in front of you has
cargo that extends rearward
from the cab, or when the
vehicle in front of you has
higher ground clearance.
FCA system is designed to detect and monitor the vehicle
ahead in the roadway through
camera recognition. It is not
designed to detect bicycles,
motorcycles, or smaller

FCA warning message and
system control
FCA system produces warning mes-
sages and warning alarms in accor-
dance with the collision risk levels of
followings like vehicle’s sudden brak-
ing in front or lack of vehicle to vehi-
cle distance or collision to pedestri-
ans or cyclist. Also, it controls the
brakes in accordance with the colli-
sion risk levels.
The driver can select the initial warn-
ing activation time in the User set-
tings in the LCD display. The
options for the initial Forward
Collision Warning include Normal or
Late initial warning time.
Collision Warning (1st warning)
The warning message appears on the LCD display with the warning
alarms.
The Vehicle may slow down slightly - It will operate if the vehicle speedis 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 condi-
tion of the vehicle ahead and the
environment surrounding it, the
possible maximum operating
speed may be reduced.)

performance, when the driver
depresses the brake pedal.
The braking control is automatical- ly deactivated, when the driver
sharply depresses the accelerator
pedal, or when the driver abruptly
operates the steering wheel.
The braking control is automatical- ly canceled, when risk factors dis-
appear.
Detecting sensors (front view
camera/front radar)
The sensors are that detecting the
distance to vehicles ahead, pedestri-
an or cyclist.
CAUTION
The driver should always paygreat caution to vehicle opera-tion, even though there is nowarning message or warningalarm.

Lane Keeping Assist system detects
the lane markers on the road with a
front view camera at the front wind-
shield, and assists the driver’s steer-
ing to help keep the vehicle in the
lanes. When the system detects the
vehicle straying from its lane, it alerts
the driver with a visual and audible
warning, while applying a slight
counter-steering torque, trying to
prevent the vehicle from moving out
of its lane.
LANE KEEPING ASSIST (LKA) (IF EQUIPPED)
WARNING
Driver is responsible for beingaware of surroundings and
steering the vehicle safely.
Do not steer the steering wheel suddenly when the
steering wheel is being assist-
ed by the system.
LKA system helps prevent the driver from moving out of the
lane unintentionally by assist-
ing the driver’s steering. If the
driver intentionally drives on
one side of the driving lane, a
continuous steering force
may occur. However, the sys-
tem is just a convenience
function and the steering
wheel is not always con-
trolled. While driving, the driv-
er should pay attention to the
steering wheel.
(Continued)
(Continued)
The operation of LKA systemcan be canceled or not work
properly depending on road
condition and surroundings.
Always be cautious when
driving.
Do not disassemble the front view camera or attached any
type of coating or accessories
to it. If you disassemble the
front view camera, take your
vehicle to an authorized Kia
dealer to check if the system
needs a calibration.
When you replace the wind- shield glass, front view cam-
era or related parts of the
steering, take your vehicle to
an authorized Kia dealer to
check if the system needs a
calibration.

The system detects lane
markers and controls the
steering wheel by a front view
camera, therefore, if the lane
markers are hard to detect,
the system may not work
properly. Always be cautious
when using the system.
When the lane markers are hard to detect, please refer to
“DRIVER’S ATTENTION”.
Do not remove or damage the related parts of the front view
camera system.
Do not place objects on the crash pad that reflect light
such as mirrors, white paper,
etc. it may cause malfunction
of LKA system if sunlight is
reflected.
(Continued)(Continued)
You may not hear warningsound of LKA system because
of the excessive audio sound.
If other beeps such as the seat belt warning sound are in
operation and override LKA
alarming system, LKA beeps
may not occur.
At high vehicle speeds, the steering torque needed for
assistance may not be suffi-
cient to keep your vehicle
within the lane. If so, the vehi-
cle may move out of its lane.
Always obey the speed limit
when using LKA system.
(Continued)(Continued)
If you attach objects to thesteering wheel, the system
may not assist steering.
