System malfunction
When the FCA is not working prop-erly, the FCA warning light ( ) will
illuminate and the warning mes-
sage will appear for a few seconds.
After the message disappears, the
master warning light ( ) will illu-
minate. In this case, have the vehi-
cle inspected by an authorized Kia
dealer.
The FCA warning message may appear along with the illumination
of the ESC warning light.

WARNING
The FCA is only a supplemen-tal system for the driver's con-
venience. It is the driver's
responsibility to control the
vehicle operation. Do not
solely depend on the FCA
system. Rather, maintain a
safe braking distance, and, if
necessary, depress the brake
pedal to reduce the driving
speed or stop the vehicle.
In certain instances and under certain driving condi-
tions, the FCA system may
activate unintentionally.
Also, due to sensing limita-
tions, in certain situations,
the front radar sensor or front
view camera recognition sys-
tem may not detect the vehi-
cle or pedestrians ahead. The
FCA system may not activate
and the warning message
may not be displayed.
(Continued)
(Continued)
The FCA system may not acti-vate if the driver applies the
brake pedal to avoid the risk
of a collision.
The brake control may be insufficient, possibly causing
a collision, if a vehicle in front
abruptly stops. Always pay
extreme caution.
The FCA system may not acti- vate according to the road con-
ditions, inclement whether,
driving conditions or traffic
conditions.
Even if there is any problem with the brake control func-
tion of the FCA system, the
vehicle's basic braking per-
formance will operate normal-
ly. However, brake control
function for avoiding collision
will not activate.

Detecting vehicles
The sensor may be limited when:
The radar sensor or camera is cov-ered 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 camera
There is interference by electro- magnetic waves
Something in the path of travel deflects the radar waves.
The radar/camera recognition is limited
The vehicle in front is too small to be detected (for example a motor-
cycle or a bicycle, etc.)
The vehicle in front is an oversize vehicle or trailer that is too big to
be detected by the camera recog-
nition system. (for example a trac-
tor, trailer, etc.) The camera's field of view is not well
illuminated (either too dark or too
much reflection or too much back-
light that obscures the field of view)
The vehicle in front does not have their rear lights properly turned ON
or their rear lights are located
unusually.
The outside brightness changes suddenly, for example when enter-
ing or exiting a tunnel
When light coming from a street light or an oncoming vehicle is
reflected on a wet road surface
such as a puddle in the road
The field of view in front is obstructed by sun glare or head-
light of oncoming vehicle.
The windshield glass is fogged up
The vehicle in front is driving errat- ically
The vehicle is on unpaved or uneven rough surfaces, or roads
with sudden gradient changes The vehicle is driven near areas
containing metal substances as a
construction zone, railroad, etc.
The vehicle is drives inside a build- ing, such as a basement parking lot
The camera does not recognize the entire vehicle in front.
The camera is damaged.
The brightness outside is too low such as when the headlamps are
not on at night or the vehicle is
going through a tunnel.
Adverse road conditions cause excessive vehicle vibrations while
driving
The sensor recognition changes suddenly when passing over a
speed bump
The shadow is on the road by a median strip, trees, etc.
The vehicle drives through a toll- gate.
The rear part of the vehicle in front is not fully visible.

Driving your vehicle
Detecting pedestrians
The sensor may be limited when:
The pedestrian is not fully detectedby the camera recognition 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
The sensor recognition is limited
The radar sensor or camera is cov- ered with a foreign object or debris
Inclement weather such as heavy rain or snow obscures the field of
view of the radar sensor or camera
When light coming from a street light or an oncoming vehicle is
reflected on a wet road surface
such as a puddle in the road
The field of view in front is obstructed by sun glare
The windshield glass is fogged up.
Adverse road conditions cause excessive vehicle vibrations while
driving
When the pedestrian suddenly appears in front of the vehicle
When there is any other electro- magnetic interference When a construction area, rail or
other metal object is near the
pedestrian.
WARNING
Do not use the ForwardCollision -Avoidance Assist
(FCA) system when towing a
vehicle. Application of the
FCA system while towing may
adversely affect the safety of
your vehicle 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.
The FCA system is designed to detect and monitor the
vehicle ahead in the roadway
through radar signals and
camera recognition. It is not
designed to detect bicycles,
motorcycles, or smaller

Driving your vehicle
The cruise control system allows you
to program the vehicle to maintain a
constant speed without depressing
the accelerator pedal.
This system is designed to function
above approximately 20 mph (30
km/h).
If the cruise control is left on,
(CRUISE indicator light in the instru-
ment cluster illuminated) the cruise
control can be switched on acciden-
tally. Keep the cruise control system
off (CRUISE indicator light OFF)
when the cruise control is not in use,
to avoid inadvertently setting a speed.Use the cruise control system only
when traveling on open highways in
good weather.
Do not use the cruise control when
driving in heavy or varying traffic, or
on slippery (rainy, icy or snow-cov-
ered) or winding roads or over 6%
up-hill or down-hill roads.
✽ ✽
NOTICE
• During normal cruise control oper-
ation, when the SET switch is acti-
vated or reactivated after applying
the brakes, the cruise control will
activate after approximately 3 sec-
onds. This delay is normal.
• To activate cruise control, depress the brake pedal at least once after
turning the ignition switch to the
ON position or starting the engine.
This is to check if the brake switch
which is important part to cancel
cruise control is in normal condi-
tion.
CRUISE CONTROL SYSTEM
WARNING - Misuse of
Cruise Control
Do not use cruise control if the
traffic situation does not allow
you to drive safely at a constant
speed and with sufficient dis-
tance to the vehicle in front.

Each of these actions will cancel
cruise control operation (the SETindicator light in the instrument clus-ter will go off), but it will not turn thesystem off. If you wish to resumecruise control operation, move thelever up (to RES+). You will return toyour previously preset speed.To resume cruising speed at
more than approximately 20
mph (30 km/h):
If any method other than the
CRUISE ON-OFF switch was used
to cancel cruising speed and the sys-
tem is still activated, the most recent
set speed will automatically resume
when you move the lever up.
It will not resume, however, if the
vehicle speed has dropped below
approximately 20 mph (30 km/h).
To turn cruise control off, do
one of the following:
Press the CRUISE button (the CRUISE indicator light in the
instrument cluster will go off).
