FCA front radar / camera sensor
In order for the FCA system to oper-
ate properly, always make sure the
sensor or sensor cover is clean and
free of dirt, snow, and debris. Dirt,
snow, or foreign substances on the
lens may adversely affect the sens-
ing performance of the sensor.
✽ ✽
NOTICE
• Do not install any accessories, such
as a license plate bracket or
bumper sticker near the sensor
area. Do not replace the bumper
by yourself. Doing so may adverse-
ly affect the sensing performance.
• Always keep the sensor/bumper area clean.
• Use only a soft cloth 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
operate correctly even without the
warning light or message. In this
case, we recommend you to have
the vehicle inspected by an
authorized Kia dealer.
• Use only the genuine Kia sensor cover. Do not arbitrarily apply
paint on the sensor cover. (Continued)

WARNING
Never rely solely on the FCA to
avoid a collision. It is the dri-
ver's responsibility to safely
maneuver the vehicle under all
conditions.
WARNING
The FCA operates within certain
parameters, such as the dis-
tance from the vehicle/pedestri-
an in front, the speed of the
vehicle/pedestrian in front, and
the driver's vehicle operation.
Certain conditions such as
inclement weather and road
conditions may affect the oper-
ation of the FCA system. Never
deliberately drive dangerously
to activate the system.

• Do not tint the window or installstickers, 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 dashboard. The system may
activate unnecessarily due to
reflect of the sunlight.
• Excessive audio volume may pre- vent vehicle occupants from hear-
ing the sound of the system warn-
ing alarm.Warning message and warning
light
When the sensor cover or the sensor
lens is covered with foreign sub-
stances, such as snow or rain, the
FCA operation may temporarily stop.
In this case, the warning message
appears to warn the driver.
Remove any dirt, snow, or debris and
clean the radar sensor cover before
operating the FCA system.
The FCA may not properly operate in
an area (e.g. open terrain), where
any objects is not detected after turn-
ing ON the engine.
System malfunction
When the FCA is not working prop- erly, the FCA warning light ( )
will illuminate and the warning
message will appear for a few sec-
onds. After the message disap-
pears, the master warning light
( ) will illuminate. In this case,
have the vehicle inspected by an
authorized Kia dealer.
The FCA warning message may appear along with the illumination
of the ESC warning light.OYP058197N

Limitation of the system
The FCA system is designed to mon-
itor the driving situation ahead
through camera and radar sensors to
warn the driver that a collision is
imminent, and if necessary, apply
emergency braking.
In certain situations, the camera and
sensors may not be able to detect
the situation ahead. In these cases,
the FCA system may not operate
normally. The driver must pay careful
attention in the following situations
where the FCA operation may be
limited.
Recognizing vehicles
The sensor may be limited when:
- The radar or the camera is coveredwith foreign substances.
- It heavily rains or snows.
- There is interference by electro- magnetic waves.
- The vehicle in front has a narrow body. (i.e. motor cycle and bicycle)
- The driver’s view is unclear due to the backlight, the reflected light, or
darkness.
- The camera cannot contain the full image of the vehicle in front.
- The vehicle in front is a special vehicle, such as a heavily-loaded
truck or a trailer.
- The outside brightness is greatly changed, such as entering/exiting
the tunnel.
- The vehicle driving is unstable.
- The radar/camera sensor recogni- tion is limited.
- The driver'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 is driving errat-
ically
- The vehicle is driven near areas containing metal substances such
as a construction zone, railroad,
etc.
- Backlight is reflected in the direc- tion of the vehicle (including front
light from the vehicle ahead)
- Moisture on the windshield is not completely removed or frozen.
- The weather is misty.
- The vehicle in front does not turn ON the rear lights, does not have
rear lights, has asymmetric rear
lights, or has rear lights out of
angle.
- The vehicle is on unpaved or uneven rough surfaces, or roads
with sudden gradient changes.
- The vehicle is moving under ground level or inside a building.
- If a sudden change in the sensor recognition takes place while driv-
ing over the speed bump,
- When the vehicle is severely shaken,
- When driving around a roundabout with a vehicle in front,

Recognizing pedestrians(if equipped)
The sensor may be limited when:
- The pedestrian is not fully detected by 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)
- 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 - 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
- If a sudden change in the sensor recognition takes place while driv-
ing over the speed bump,
- When the vehicle is severely shak- en,
- If the front of the camera lens is contaminated by front glass tinting,
film, water repellent coating, dam-
age on glass, foreign matter (stick-
er, insect, etc.)
- The radar or camera or camera lens is damaged.
- If the headlights of the vehicle are not used at night or in the tunnel
section, or the light is too weak
- If street light or the light of the vehi- cle coming from the opposite is
reflected or when sunlight is
reflected by the water on the road
surface
- When the back light is projected in the direction of the vehicle's motion
(including the headlights of vehi-
cles) - Road sign, shadow on the road,
tunnel entrance, toll gate, partial
pavement
- If the moist on the front windshield is not entirely removed or it is
frozen
- The weather is foggy
- The radar/camera sensor recogni- tion is limited.
