WARNING
FCA system is only a supple-mental system for the driver’s
convenience. The driver should
hold the responsibility to con-
trol the vehicle operation. Do
not solely depend on FCA sys-
tem. Rather, maintain a safe
braking distance, and, if neces-
sary, depress the brake pedal
to lower 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 or pedestri-
an ahead. FCA system may

The warning light illumi-
nates on the LCD display,
when you cancel FCA sys-
tem. The driver can moni-
tor the FCA ON/OFF status on the
LCD display. Also, the warning light
illuminates when the ESC (Electronic
Stability Control) is turned off. When
the warning light remains ON with
FCA activated, have your vehicle
inspected by an authorized Kia deal-
er.Warning Timing
The driver can select the initial warn-
ing activation time on the LCD dis-
play.
Go to the “User Settings → Driver
Assistance →Warning Timing →
Normal/Later” The options for the initial Forward
Collision Warning includes the fol-
lowing:
- Normal:
When this condition is selected, the
initial Forward Collision Warning sys-
tem is activated normally. This setting
allows for a nominal amount of dis-
tance between the vehicle ahead
before the initial warning occurs.
- Later:
When this condition is selected, the
initial Forward Collision Warning sys-
tem is activated later than normal.
This setting reduces the amount of
distance between the vehicle ahead,
the pedestrian or the cyclist before
the initial warning occurs.
Select 'Later' when traffic is light and
when driving speed is slow.
If the vehicle in front puts on a burst
of speed, the driver can notice the
warning alarm is early even though
the later option is selected.

sage and the warning alarms.
Also, due to the sensing limi-
tation, FCA system may not
produce the warning message
and the warning alarm at all.
When there is a malfunction with FCA system, the braking
control does not operate upon
detecting a collision risk even
with other braking systems
normally operating.
