FORWARD COLLISION-AVOIDANCE ASSIST (FCA) SYSTEM - SENSOR FUSION TYPE
(FRONT RADAR+FRONT VIEW CAMERA) (IF EQUIPPED)
The Forward Collision-Avoidance
Assist (FCA) system is designed to
help detect and monitor the vehicle
or pedestrians ahead in the roadway
through camera recognition to warn
the driver that a collision is imminent,
and if necessary, apply emergency
braking.System setting and activation
System setting
placing the ignition switch to the
ON position and by selecting:
'User Settings → Driver Assistance
→ Forward Collision-Avoidance
Assist.' The FCA system deactivates,
when the driver cancels the system
setting.
WARNING
Take the following precaution-
swhen using the Forward
Collision-Avoidance Assist
(FCA) system:
This system is only a supple- mental system and it is not
intended to, nor does it replace
the need for extreme care and
attention of the driver. The
sensing range and objects
detectable by the sensors are
limited. Pay attention to the
road conditions at all times.
Never drive too fast in accor- dance with the road condi-
tions or while cornering.
Always drive cautiously to prevent unexpected and sud-
den situations from occur-
ring. FCA does not avoid all
collisions because of system
limitations.

Downhill Brake Control (DBC)
The Downhill Brake Control (DBC)
allows the vehicle to descend from a
steep hill without depressing the
brake pedal. It slows down the vehi-
cle under 8 km/h (5 mph) and allows
the driver concentrate on steering
the vehicle.
✽ ✽NOTICE
• The DBC defaults to the OFF posi-
tion whenever the ignition switch
is placed in the ON position.
• Noise or vibration may occur from the brakes when the DBC is acti-
vated.
• The rear stop light comes on when DBC is activated.
OQL055117
OQL055116
WARNING
Always turn off the DBC on nor-
mal roads. The DBC might acti-
vate inadvertently from the
standby mode when driving
through speed bumps or mak-
ing sharp curves increasing the
risk of a crash.
WARNING
The DBC is a supplemental sys-
tem only and is not a substitute
for safe driving practices. A
driver should not solely rely on
this system when descending
from a hill and should always be
ready to apply the brakes
depending on road and traffic
conditions.

1. Cruise indicator
2. Speed set indicator
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 30 km/h (20
mph). 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
energize 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.
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 cancelcruise 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 30
km/h (20 mph):
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 approxi-
mately 30 km/h (20 mph).
✽ ✽ NOTICE
Always check the road conditions
before you move the lever up (to
RES+) to resume the speed.
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).
Turn the ignition off.
Both of these actions will cancel the cruise control operation. If you wantto resume the cruise control opera-tion, repeat the steps provided in “Toset cruise control speed” on the pre-vious page.

Driving your vehicle
When there is a problem with the sys-
tem do one of the following:
Turn the system on after turningthe engine off and on again.
Check if the ignition switch is in the ON position.
Check if the system is affected by the weather. (ex: fog, heavy rain,
etc.)
Check if there is foreign matter covering the camera lens
If the problem is not solved, take your
vehicle to an authorized Kia dealer
and have the system checked.LKA system Function Change
The driver can change LKA to Lane
Departure Warning System (LDW
system) or change the LKA system
mode between Standard LKA and
Active LKA from the User Settings
Mode on the LCD display.
The driver can choose them by plac-
ing the ignition switch to the ON posi-
tion and by selecting ‘User Settings’,
‘Driver Assistance’, and ‘Lane
Keeping Assist’.
The system is automatically set to
Standard LKA.
Lane Departure
LDW alerts the driver with a visual
and acoustic warning when the sys-
tem detects the vehicle leaving the
lane. In this mode, the system will not
provide steering inputs. When the
vehicle’s front wheel contacts the
inside edge of lane line, LKA issues
the lane departure warning.
Standard LKA
The Standard LKA mode guides the
driver to keep the vehicle within the
lanes. It provides steering inputs
when the vehicle is about to deviate
from the lanes.
Active LKA
The active LKA mode provides more
frequent steering inputs in compari-
son with the Standard LKA mode.

WARNING
Unexpected situations may
lead to possible accidents.
Always pay attention to road
conditions and driving even
when the Blind-Spot Collision
Warning is being operated.
The Blind-Spot Collision Warning system is a supple-
mental convenience system to
assist driving. The system is
not a substitute for proper and
safe driving. It is the responsi-
bility of the driver to always
check to the vehicle around.
Do not solely rely on the sys-
tem, but always pay attention
to drive safely.
The Blind-Spot Collision Warning (BCW) system may
not detect every object around
your vehicle.

Remember, your vehicle does not
require extended warm-up. After
the engine has started, allow the
engine to run for 10 to 20 seconds
prior to placing the vehicle in gear.
In very cold weather, however, give
your engine a slightly longer warm-
up period.
Don't "lug" or "over-rev" the engine. Lugging is driving too slowly in a
very high gear resulting in engine
bucking. If this happens, shift to a
lower gear. Over-revving is racing
the engine beyond its safe limit.
This can be avoided by shifting at
the recommended speed. Use your air conditioning sparingly.
The air conditioning system is
operated by engine power so your
fuel economy is reduced when you
use it.
Open windows at high speeds can reduce fuel economy.
Fuel economy is less in crosswinds and headwinds. To help offset
some of this loss, slow down when
driving in these conditions.
Keeping a vehicle in good operating
condition is important both for econ-
omy and safety. Therefore, have an
authorized Kia dealer perform
scheduled inspections and mainte-
nance.
WARNING - Engine off
during motion
Never turn the engine off to
coast down hills or anytime the
vehicle is in motion. The power
steering and power brakes will
not function properly without
the engine running. In addition,
turning off the ignition while
driving could engage the steer-
ing wheel lock resulting in loss
of vehicle steering. Keep the
engine on and downshift to an
appropriate gear for an engine
braking effect.
