Brake operation
In an urgent situation, the braking
system enters into the ready status
for prompt reaction against the dri-
ver’s depressing the brake pedal.
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.
FCA sensor
(Front View Camera)
In order for the FCA system to oper-
ate properly, always make sure the
sensor are 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.
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 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.
WARNING
The 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 and road
conditions may affect the oper-
ation of the FCA system.
WARNING
Never deliberately drive danger-
ously to activate the system.

FCA warning message and
system control
The FCA system produces warning
messages, warning alarms, and
emergency braking based on the
level of risk of a frontal collision, such
as when a vehicle ahead suddenly
brakes.
The driver can select the initial warn-
ing activation time in the User
Settings in the LCD display. The
options for the initial Forward
Collision Warning include Early,
Normal or Late initial warning time.
Collision Warning (1st warning)
This warning message appears on
the LCD display with a warning
chime. Additionally, some vehicle
system intervention occurs by the
engine management system to help
decelerate the vehicle.
- Your vehicle speed may deceleratemoderately.
- The FCA system limitedly controls the brakes to preemptively mitigate
impact in a collision.
WARNING
Completely stop the vehicleon a safe location before
operating the switch on the
steering wheel to activate/
deactivate the FCA system.
The FCA automatically acti- vates upon placing the Engine
Start/Stop button to the ON
position. The driver can deac-
tivate the FCA by canceling
the system setting on the LCD
display. To avoid driver dis-
tractions, do not attempt to
set or cancel the FCA while
driving the vehicle.
The FCA automatically deac- tivates upon canceling the
ESC (Electronic Stability
Control). When the ESC is
canceled, the FCA cannot be
activated on the LCD display.
The FCA warning light will
illuminate, but it does not
indicate a malfunction of the
system.

To set cruise control speed:
1. Press the CRUISE button on thesteering wheel to turn the system
on. The CRUISE indicator light in
the instrument cluster will illumi-
nate.
2. Accelerate to the desired speed, which must be more than 30 km/h
(20 mph). 3. Move the lever down (to SET-),
and release it at the desired
speed. The SET indicator light in
the instrument cluster will illumi-
nate. Release the accelerator at
the same time. The desired speed
will automatically be maintained.
On a steep grade, the vehicle mayslow down or speed up slightly whilegoing uphill or downhill.
To increase cruise control set
speed:
Follow either of these procedures:
Move the lever up (to RES+) and hold it. Your vehicle will accelerate.
Release the lever at the speed you
want.
Move the lever up (to RES+) and release it immediately. The cruising
speed will increase by 2 km/h (1.0
mph) each time the lever is operat-
ed in this manner.

To decrease the cruise control
set speed:
Follow either of these procedures:
Move the lever down (to SET-), and hold it. Your vehicle set speed will
decrease by 10 km/h (5 mph).
Release the lever at the speed you
want.
Move the lever down (to SET-), and release it immediately. The cruising
speed will decrease by 1.0 km/h
(1.0 mph) each time you move the

You can set the speed down to 30 km/h (20 mph).
To temporarily accelerate with the
cruise control on:
If you want to speed up temporarily
when the cruise control is on,
depress the accelerator pedal.
Increased speed will not interfere
with cruise control operation or
change the set speed.
To return to the set speed, take your
foot off the accelerator.
If you move the lever down (to SET-)
at increased speed, the cruising
speed will be set again.
✽ ✽ NOTICE
Be careful when accelerating tem-
porarily, because the speed is not con-
trolled automatically at this time even
if there is a vehicle in front of you.
Smart cruise control will be tem-
porarily canceled when:

When Active ECO is activated:
The acceleration may slightly be
reduced even though you depress
the accelerator fully.
The air conditioner performance may be limited
The shift pattern of the automatic transmission may change.
The engine noise may get louder.
The above situations are normal
conditions when the Active Eco
System is activated to improve fuel
efficiency. Limitation of Active ECO opera-
tion:
If the following conditions occur while
Active ECO is operating, the system
operation is limited even though
there is no change in the ECO indi-
cator.
When the coolant temperature is
low:
The system will be limited until
engine performance becomes nor-
mal.
When driving up a hill: The system will be limited to gain
power when driving uphill because
the engine torque is restricted.
When using manual mode: The system will be limited accord-
ing to the shift location.
When the accelerator pedal is deeply depressed for a few sec-
onds:
The system will be limited, judging
that the driver wants to speed up.SPORT mode

The Lane Keeping Assist (LKA) sys-
tem is designed to detect the lane
markers on the road with a front view
camera at the front windshield, and
assists the driver’s steering to help
keep the vehicle in the lanes.When the system detects the vehicle
straying from its lane, it alerts the
driver with a visual and audible warn-
ing, while applying a slight counter-
steering torque, trying to prevent the
vehicle from moving out of its lane.

front view camera. If the lane
markers are hard to detect,
then the system may be limit-
ed. Always be cautious when
using the system.

“Driver’s Attention”.
Do not remove or damage the related parts of LKA.
Do not place objects on the dashboard that reflects light
such as mirrors, white paper,
etc. it may cause malfunction
of This may prevent the LKA
system from functioning
properly.
You may not hear warning sound of LKA if the audio vol-
ume is high.
(Continued)(Continued)
If you drive with your handsoff the steering wheel, the
LKA will stop controlling the
steering wheel after the hands
off alarm. If you drive with
your hands on the steering
wheel again, the control will
be activated again.
If the vehicle speed is high, steering torque for assistance
will not be enough to keep
your vehicle within the lane. If
so, the vehicle may move out
of its lane. Obey speed limit
when using LKA.
If you attach objects to the steering wheel, the system
may not assist steering.
If you attach objects to the steering wheel, hands off
alarm may not work properly.WARNING
The operation of the LKA canbe canceled or not work prop-
erly according to road condi-
tion and surroundings.
Always be cautious when
driving.
Do not disassemble the front view camera temporarily for
tinting windows or attaching
any types of coatings and
accessories.
Do not disassemble the cam-
era. take your vehicle to an
authorized Kia dealer and
