The ESC system is designed to help stabilize the vehicle during certain
cornering maneuvers. It is a good idea to keep the ESC turned on for
daily driving whenever possible.
Press the ESC OFF button A to turn Traction Control OFF/ON.
To turn OFF both the Traction Control and Stability Control, press and
hold for more than 3 seconds. Press it again to turn ON.
HAC helps prevent the vehicle from rolling backwards when
accelerating from a stop while on a steep incline. The HAC automatically
activates whether the ESC is OFF or ON but does NOT activate when the
ESC has malfunctioned.
REMINDERS:
•
ESC is active by default at vehicle startup. When the ignition is cycled, ESC will turn ON again
•
The ESC Indicator Light in the instrument cluster will illuminate whenever the ESC is in operation
For more information on Electronic Stability Control (ESC) and its specific features and operation, please refer to your Owner’s Manual.

If the RCCA system sensors detect approaching vehicles from the rear left or rear right side of the vehicle F, the system will
sound an audible alert, the warning indicators on the outside rearview mirror will illuminate and a message will appear on
the Instrument Cluster screen G. RCCA is designed to operate under the following conditions:
•When the gear shift is in Reverse
•When the vehicle is moving slower than 7 mph
Lane Keeping Assist (LKA)*†6
With the Engine Start /Stop button in the ON position, press the LK A button E to turn the system ON. The instrument cluster
indicator will initially illuminate white. It will remain white when the vehicle is traveling slower than 40 mph and the system does
not detect the lane markers. When the LK A system detects lane markers and can assist steering, the LK A icon will illuminate green.
If LK A detects that you are moving outside of your lane, the vehicle crossing lane indicator will blink and the system issues
an audible warning and displays an Lane Departure Alert (LDW ) alert on the instrument cluster. If the vehicle continues to move
outside of the lane, LK A will apply a slight adjustment to the steering, trying to prevent the vehicle from moving outside its lane.
LK A is the operating mode by default when the LK A button is depressed to ON. To switch between modes (LK A, Active LK A and
Lane Departure), go to User Settings in the Instrument Cluster.
All systems will operate under the following conditions:
• The vehicle speed exceeds approximately 40 mph
• The LK A /LDW system recognizes the lane the vehicle is traveling in
• The vehicle is between the lane markers
REMINDERS:
•
The RCCA feature can be turned OFF/ON in User Settings, under Driver Assistance, Parking Safety
•When vehicle power is cycled, RCCA will remain in the previous state
•
When a vehicle is approaching within the sensing range, and traveling between 2.5 and 22 mph, the RCCA system will show a warning
•
The RCCA systems is a supplemental system. Do not solely rely on this system and always pay attention to the road and its conditions

Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist (FCA)†6
The FCA system is designed to detect slowing or stopped traffic ahead and, under certain conditions, can apply the brakes
in order to help avoid or reduce the effects of a potential collision. Initially, FCA provides Forward Collision Warning (FCW )
when it detects a pedestrian or a potential collision with a vehicle in front, emitting an audible warning and visual alert on
the instrument cluster A.
Adjust the alert settings (Early, Normal, Late) in the User Settings. FCA is ON by default
and can be turned OFF in the User Settings menu on the Instrument Cluster display.
If the system detects that the collision risk has increased, FCA automatically applies
the brakes to reduce your speed, potentially helping to avoid or reduce the effects
of a possible collision. FCA can be turned ON in the User Settings menu on the
Instrument Cluster display.
FCA / FCW will become active when the:
• Engine Start /Stop button is ON
• Vehicle is traveling faster than 5 mph
• Electronic Stability Control (ESC) is ON
REMINDERS:
• The FCA / FCW systems will be activated by default when the ignition is cycled ON, even when the previous setting is OFF
• If the FCA / FCW systems are operating and ESC (Electronic Stability Control) is turned off, the systems are automatically turned off
• When the FCA / FCW systems are off, the FCA-Ped / FCW systems warning indicator is on in the Instrument Cluster
Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist (FCA) / Forward Collision Warning (FCW) are not substitutes for safe driving and may not detect all objects in front of the vehicle. Always drive safely and use caution.
For illustrative purposes only. Your actual display, buttons and/or features may vary.

Electronic Parking Brake (EPB)*
The Electronic Parking Brake (EPB) system utilizes an
electric motor to engage the parking brake.
Applying the Parking Brake
Depress the brake pedal and pull up the EPB switch A.
Ensure that the indicator light is illuminated on the
instrument cluster.
Releasing the Parking Brake
The EPB will automatically release when the shifter is
placed in Reverse or Drive.
To release EPB manually, depress the brake pedal, then
press the EPB switch A, with the ignition switch in the ON
position. Ensure that the indicator light is OFF.
REMINDERS:
•
As a bulb check, the EPB malfunction indicator will illuminate for approximately 3 seconds when the ignition switch is turned ON
•
If the warning light does not illuminate temporarily, or continues to remain lit, take your vehicle to an authorized Kia dealer and have the system checked
•The EPB should not be operated while the vehicle is moving
•
A click or electric brake motor sound may be heard while operating or releasing the EPB, but these conditions are normal and indicate that the EPB is functioning properly

Auto Hold*
Auto Hold temporarily maintains the vehicle at a
standstill even though the brake pedal is not depressed
after the driver brings the vehicle to a complete stop by
depressing the brake pedal. Auto Hold can be turned On/
Off using the AUTO HOLD button B on the center panel
below the gear shift. Before Auto Hold will operate, the
driver’s door, engine hood and liftgate must be closed,
and the driver’s seat belt must be fastened.
The AUTO HOLD indicator on the Instrument Cluster
has four states:
White: Standby - When vehicle is in Park and at a
standstill, and AUTO HOLD button B is pressed ON, the
indicator will illuminate white. While driving the vehicle
(vehicle is not at a standstill), the Auto Hold indicator will
remain white.
Green: Engaged - When coming to a complete stop
by depressing the brake pedal, the Auto Hold indicator
changes from white to green.
Off (not illuminated) - The indicator will turn Off when
the AUTO HOLD button B is manually pressed Off or
when the EPB is manually turned On.
Yellow: Malfunction - When the indicator is illuminated
yellow, there may be a system malfunction. Take your
vehicle to a local Kia dealer.
REMINDERS:
•
Auto Hold only operates when vehicle is in Drive or Neutral
•
To reduce the risk of an accident, do not activate Auto Hold while driving downhill, backing up or parking your vehicle
•
Do not solely rely on the Auto Hold system to keep the vehicle stopped. Always pay attention to traf fic and road conditions, and be prepared to depress the brakes
•When leaving your keys with parking lot attendants or valet, make sure to inform them how to operate the EPB •If parked on a steep incline/decline, pull up the EPB switch for more than 3 seconds for a firmer EPB application •Pull up and hold EPB switch a second time to increase brake pressure if parked on a decline or incline
