Features of your vehicle
This indicator illuminates
when the auto defogging
system senses moisture
on the inside of the wind-
shield and is activated.
If more moisture is in the vehicle, the
auto defogging system addresses
excess moisture on the inside of the
windshield in stages as follows:
Step 1 : Operating the air condition- ing
Step 2 : Outside air position
Step 3 : Blowing air flow toward the windshield
Step 4 : Increasing air flow toward the windshield
If your vehicle is equipped with the
auto defogging system, it is automat-
ically activated when the conditions
are met.
However, if you would like to deacti-
vate the auto defogging system,
keep the front defroster button
pressed longer than 3 seconds. The “ADS OFF” symbol will be
shown in the climate display to
inform you that the system is deacti-
vated.
To re-activate the auto defogging
system again, follow the procedure
mentioned above and the “ADS
OFF” symbol will disappear.
If the battery has been disconnected
or discharged, it resets to the auto
defogging status.
✽ ✽
NOTICE
• When the air conditioning is
turned on by Auto defogging sys-
tem, if you try to turn off the air
conditioning, the indicator will
blink 3 times and the air condi-
tioning will not be turned off.
• For efficiency, do not select recir- culated air position while Auto
defogging system is operating.
CAUTION
Do not remove the sensor cover
located on the upper end of thedriver side windshield glass.Damage to the system partscould occur and may not be cov-ered by your vehicle warranty.

FCA system is designed to detect
and monitor a vehicle ahead in the
roadway through sensors (i.e., radar)
to warn the driver that a collision is
imminent and, if necessary, apply
emergency braking.
❈ Radar type FCA system does not
operate to detect pedestrians in
front.System setting and activation
System setting
The driver can activate FCA system
by placing the ignition switch to the
ON position and by selecting 'User
Settings' →'Driver Assistance' →
'Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist
(FCA) system'.
FCA system deactivates when the
driver cancels the system setting.
FORWARD COLLISION-AVOIDANCE ASSIST (FCA) SYSTEM (RADAR TYPE) (IF EQUIPPED)
WARNING
-
Forward Collision-
Avoidance Assist (FCA)
Limitations
FCA system is a supplemental
system and is not a substitute
for safe driving practices. It is
the responsibility of the driver
to always check the speed and
distance to the vehicle ahead to
ensure it is safety to use FCA
system.
WARNING
Take the following precautions
when using Forward Collision-
Avoidance Assist (FCA) sys-
tem:
• This system is only a supple- mental system and is not
intended to, nor does it,
replace the need for extreme
care and attention of the driv-
er. The sensing range and
objects detectable by the sen-
sors are limited. Pay attention
to the road conditions at all
times.
NEVER drive too fast for the road conditions or while cor-
nering.
Always drive cautiously to prevent unexpected and sud-
den situations from occur-
ring. FCA system does not
stop the vehicle completely
and does not avoid collisions.
FCA system does not stop the
vehicle completely and is not
a collision avoidance system.

Brake operation
In an emergency situation, the
braking system enters in ready sta-
tus for prompt reaction upon the
driver depressing the brake pedal.
FCA system provides additional braking power for optimum braking
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
turns the steering wheel.
The braking control is automatical- ly canceled when risk factors dis-
appear.
FCA system front radar sensor
In order for FCA system to operate
properly, always make sure the sen-
sor or sensor cover is clean and free
of dirt, snow, and debris. Dirt, snow,
or foreign substances on the lens
may adversely affect the sensing
performance of the sensor.
WARNING
FCA system logic operates
within certain parameters, 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, road con-
ditions, and systems limitations
may affect the operation of the
FCA system.
WARNING
FCA system braking control
cannot completely stop the
vehicle nor avoid all collisions.
The driver should hold the
responsibility to drive safely
and control the vehicle.
WARNING
Never deliberately drive danger-
ously to activate the system.
CAUTION
The driver should always exer-cise caution when operatingthe vehicle, even though there isno warning message or warningalarm.

Warning message and warninglight
When the sensor cover is blocked
with dirt, snow, or debris, FCA sys-
tem operation may stop temporarily.
If this occurs, a warning message will
appear on the LCD display. Remove
any dirt, snow, or debris and clean
the radar sensor cover before oper-
ating FCA system. The system will
operate normally when such foreign
substance is removed FCA system
may not properly operate in an area
(e.g. open terrain), where any sub-
stances are not detected after turn-
ing ON the engine.
✽ ✽ NOTICE
• Do not apply foreign objects such
as a bumper sticker or a bumper
guard near the radar sensor.
Doing so may adversely affect the
sensing performance of the radar.
• Always keep the radar sensor and cover clean and free of dirt and
debris.
• Use only a soft cloth to wash the vehicle. Do not spray pressurized
water directly on the sensor or
sensor cover.
• 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
operate correctly even without the
warning light or message. In this
case, have the vehicle inspected by
an authorized Kia dealer. (Continued)(Continued)
• If the front bumper becomes dam-
aged in the area around the radar
sensor, FCA system may not oper-
ate properly. We recommend you
to have the vehicle inspected by
authorized Kia dealer.
• Use only genuine parts to repair or replace a damaged sensor or sen-
sor cover. Do not apply paint to
the sensor cover.
• Playing the vehicle audio system at high volume may make it diffi-
cult to hear FCA system warning
sounds.

Limitation of the system
FCA system is designed to monitor
the vehicle ahead through radar sig-
nals to warn the driver that a collision
is imminent, and if necessary, apply
emergency braking. In certain situa-
tions, the radar sensor may not be
able to detect the vehicle ahead. In
these cases, FCA system may not
operate. The driver must pay careful
attention in the following situations
where FCA operation may be limited:(Continued)
The brake control may beinsufficient, possibly causing
a collision, if a vehicle in front
abruptly stops. Always pay
extreme caution.
Occupants may get injured, if the vehicle abruptly stops by
activated FCA system. Pay
extreme caution.WARNING
FCA system operates only todetect vehicles in front of the
vehicle.
FCA system does not operate when the vehicle is in reverse.
FCA system is not designed to detect other objects on the
road.
FCA system does not detect cross traffic vehicles that are
approaching.
FCA system cannot detect the driver approaching the side
view of a parked vehicle (for
example on a dead end
street.)
In these cases, you must main-
tain a safe braking distance,
and if necessary, depress the
brake pedal to reduce the driv-
ing speed in order to maintain a
