Detecting sensor (front view
camera)
It is a sensor that decide the risk of a
collision by detecting the distance to
vehicles ahead or pedestrians.
In bad weather conditions such as
heavy rain, heavy snow, and fog, or
when the front camera is covered by
foreign material, dust, tec., the front
view camera will be degraded and
the system will be temporarily dis-
abled.
Always keep the front view camera
sensor clean.
WARNING
FCA system cannot avoid all
collisions. FCA system might
not completely stop the vehicle
before a collision, due to ambi-
ent, weather and road condi-
tions. The driver has the
responsibility to drive safely
and control the vehicle.
WARNING
FCA system operates in accor-
dance with certain risk factors,
such as the distance from the
vehicle/pedestrians in front, the
speed of the vehicle/pedestri-
ans in front, and the driver's
vehicle operation.
CAUTION
The driver should always pay
great caution to vehicle opera-tion, even though there is nowarning message or warningalarm.
If any other warning sound such as seat belt warningchime is already generated,Forward Collision-AvoidanceAssist system warning maynot sound.
Excessive audio volume may disturb the sound of the sys-tem warning alarm.

Driving your vehicle
In bad weather conditions such as
heavy rain, heavy snow, and fog, or
when sensor is covered by foreign
material, dust, tec., the sensors will
be degraded and the system will be
temporarily disabled.
Always keep the sensor clean.✽ ✽NOTICE
• Do not install any accessories,
such as license plate molding or
sticker, on the sensor area. Nor
arbitrarily replace the bumper.
Those may adversely affect the
sensing performance.
• Always keep the sensor/bumper area clean.
• Use only soft cloths to wash the vehicle. Also, do not spray highly-
pressurized water on the sensor
installed on the bumper.
• Be careful not to apply unneces- sary force on the frontal sensor
area. When the sensor moves out
of the correct position due to
external force, the system may not
normally operate even without the
warning light or message. In this
case, have your vehicle inspected
by an authorized Kia dealer.
• Use only the genuine Kia sensor cover. Do not arbitrarily apply
paint on the sensor cover. (Continued)(Continued)
• Do not tint the window or install
stickers, accessories around the
inside mirror where the camera is
installed.
• Make sure the frontal camera installation point does not get wet.
• Do not impact or arbitrarily remove any radar/camera compo-
nents.
• Do not place reflective objects(white paper or mirror etc.)
on the crash pad.
The system may activate unneces-
sarily due to reflect of the sunlight.
• Excessive audio volume may dis- turb the sound of the system warn-
ing alarm.
• For more cautions for the camera sensor, refer to the “Lane Keeping
Assist (LKA)” in this chapter.

WARNING
FCA system is only a supple-mental system for the driver’s
convenience. The driver has
the ultimate responsibility to
control and operate the vehi-
cle safely. Do not solely
depend on FCA system.
Rather, maintain a safe brak-
ing 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.
(Continued)
(Continued)Also, in certain instances the
front radar sensor or camera
recognition system may not
detect the vehicle, pedestrian
or cyclist (if equipped) ahead.
FCA system may not activate
and the warning message will
not be displayed.
FCA system may unnecessar- ily produce the warning mes-
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.
(Continued)(Continued)
FCA system operates only forthe vehicle/pedestrian in
front, while driving forward. It
does not operate for any ani-
mals or vehicles in the oppo-
site direction.
FCA system does not recog- nize the vehicle, which trans-
versally drives across the
crossroad, or the vehicle,
which is parked in the trans-
versal direction.
If the vehicle in front stops suddenly, you may have less
control of the brake system.
Therefore, always keep safe
distance between your vehicle
and the vehicle in front of you.
FCA system may activate dur- ing braking and the vehicle
may stop suddenly. And the
load in the vehicle may endan-
ger passengers. Therefore,
always be mindful of the load
volume in the vehicle.

■Rear corner radarsCAUTION
The system may not work properly when the bumper hasbeen damaged, or if the rearbumper has been replaced orrepaired.
The sensing range differs some- what according to the width ofthe road. When the road is nar-row, the system may detectother vehicles in the next lane.
The system may turn off due to strong electromagnetic waves.
Always keep the sensor or near the sensor clean.
NEVER arbitrarily disassem- ble the sensor component norapply any impact on the sen-sor component.
Be careful not to apply unnec- essary force on the radar sen-sor or sensor cover. If the sen-sor is forcibly moved out ofproper alignment, the systemmay not operate correctly. Inthis case, a warning messagemay not be displayed.
