electromagnetic interference.
This device complies with Part 15
of the FCC rules.
Operation is subject to the following
three conditions:
1. This device may not cause harm-
ful interference.
2. This device must accept any inter- ference received, including inter-
ference that may cause undesired
operation.
3. Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party
responsible for compliance could
void the user’s authority to operate
the device.(Continued)
Never try to test the operationof the FCA system. Doing so
may cause severe injury or
death.
When front bumper or wind- shield glass is replaced or
repaired, have the vehicle
inspected by an authorized
Kia dealer.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 camera recognition. It
is not designed to detect bicy-
cles, motorcycles, or smaller
wheeled objects such as lug-
gage bags, shopping carts, or
strollers.

- It will operate if the vehicle speed is
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 condition of the
vehicle ahead and the environment
surrounding it, the possible maxi-
mum operating speed may be
reduced.)Brake operation
In an urgent situation, the FCAsystem applies the brakes.
The FCA provides additional brak- ing power for optimum braking per-
formance, 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 FCA brake control is automat- ically canceled, when risk factors
disappear.
CAUTION
The driver should always paygreat caution to vehicle opera-tion, even though there is nowarning message or warningalarm. The warning of the FCAsystem may not sound whileother system warning sounds.
WARNING
The FCA system logic assesses
the risk of a collision by moni-
toring several variables, such
as the distance from the vehicle
ahead, the speed of the vehicle
ahead, and the driver's vehicle
speed. Certain conditions, such
as inclement weather and road
conditions, may affect the oper-
ation of the FCA system.
WARNING
Never deliberately drive danger-
ously to activate the system.
WARNING
The FCA cannot avoid all colli-
sions. The braking control can-
not completely stop the vehicle.
The driver is responsible to
safely drive and control the
vehicle.

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.

- Changing lanes
When a vehicle changes lanes in
front of you, the FCA system may not
immediately detect the vehicle, espe-
cially if the vehicle changes lanes
abruptly. In this case, you must main-
tain a safe braking distance, and if
necessary, depress the brake pedal
to reduce your driving speed in order
to maintain a safe distance. When driving in stop-and-go traffic,
and a stopped vehicle in front of you
merges out of the lane, the FCA sys-
tem may not immediately detect the
new vehicle that is now in front of
you. In this case, you must maintain
a safe braking distance, and if nec-
essary, depress the brake pedal to
reduce your driving speed in order to
maintain a safe distance.
- Detecting the vehicle in front of you
If 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, addi-
tional special attention is required.
The FCA system may not be able to
detect the cargo extending from the
vehicle. In these instances, you must
maintain a safe braking distance
from the rearmost object, and if nec-
essary, depress the brake pedal to
reduce your driving speed in order to
maintain distance.
