Lane Keeping Assist Video
Lane Keeping Assist (LKA)*†7
Lane Keeping Assist (LK A) is designed to detect the lane markers on the road
with a front view camera on the windshield, and may assist the driver’s steering
to potentially help keep the vehicle in the lane. When turned on, the instrument
cluster indicator will initially illuminate white when turned on. It will remain white
when the vehicle is traveling slower than 40 mph or when the system does not
detect the lane markers. When the system detects the lane markers and can
assist the steering, the LK A icon will illuminate green.
If LK A detects that you are moving outside of your lane, the system may give an
audible warning and display a Lane Departure Warning on the instrument cluster.
If the vehicle continues to move outside of the lane, LK A may provide steering
inputs, trying to prevent the vehicle from moving outside its lane.
LK A is the operating mode by default when the Lane Safety button* A is depressed to ON.
There are three available modes:
•Active LK A – Provides more frequent steering inputs than standard LK A
•Lane Keeping Assist – Guides driver to keep vehicle within
lanes and provides steering inputs when vehicle is about to
deviate from the lane
•Lane Departure Warning – Alerts driver when the system
detects the vehicle leaving the lane. In this mode the system
will not provide steering inputs
All systems will operate under the following conditions:
•The vehicle speed exceeds approximately 40 mph
•The LK A system recognizes both sides of the lane
markers the vehicle is traveling in
•The vehicle is between the lane markers

COLLISION WARNING
EMERGENCY BRAKING
FCA is designed to detect and monitor a vehicle ahead or detect a pedestrian in the roadway through front
view camera recognition and front radar signals to warn the driver that a collision is imminent,
and if necessary, temporarily apply emergency braking. Initially, FCA provides Forward Collision Warning
(FCW ) when it detects a potential collision with a vehicle, pedestrian, or cyclist, emitting an audible
warning and visual alert on the instrument cluster A.
If the system detects that the collision risk has increased, Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist (FCA)
automatically applies the brakes to reduce your speed, potentially helping to reduce the effects of a
possible collision.
FCA User Settings:
• FCA is ON by default in most Kia models. FCA can be turned
ON/ OFF by going to the User Settings in the Instrument Cluster
• To go to User Settings , press the Mode button B on the Steering Wheel when the vehicle is at a
standstill, gear shift in Park and with the ignition on or the Engine Start /Stop button* in the ON position
• Press the OK button C up/down and select User Settings then Driver Assistance
– In some models, go to Driving Assist, then Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist or Forward Collision
Warning and press the OK button C
– In other models, go to Forward Safety and select Active Assist, Warning Only or Off
• Active Assist: Vehicle will provide a warning (audible & visual) and apply the brakes if needed
• Warning Only: Vehicle will provide a warning only (audible & visual)
• Off: System is off, no warnings or braking provided
• To adjust the FCA initial warning activation time, go to User Settings , Driver Assistance, Warning
Timing then select Normal, Early or Late, depending on your Kia model:
–
Early/Normal: Maximizes the amount of distance between the vehicles before the initial warning occurs
– Late: Reduces the amount of distance between the vehicles before the initial warning occurs
FCA/FCW will become active when the:
• Ignition is on or the Engine Start /Stop button* is ON
• Vehicle is traveling faster than 5 mph
• Electronic Stability Control (ESC) is ON

Highway Driving Assist (HDA)*†7
Highway Driving Assist (HDA) is designed to adjust the speed of the vehicle when driving on limited/
controlled access highways/freeways. The system can adjust the vehicle’s speed based on available
highway speed information. The automatic speed setting mode is designed to set the speed
automatically by adjusting to the current speed limits of the highway the vehicle is traveling on.
To activate HDA, turn Smart Cruise Control (SCC) on by pressing the Driving Assist CRUISE /
Driving Assist Mode button* A on the Steering Wheel. When HDA is activated and the
conditions are met, the Instrument Cluster indicator B will illuminate green. If the conditions are
not met, HDA will be in standby mode and the indicator light B will illuminate white. When in
operation, and if both lanes are recognized, the Instrument Cluster will show the lanes illuminated
white and the HDA indicator illuminated green B.
If HDA is activated, conditions are met and the SCC speed is set by the driver (at the posted
highway speed limit or slower), HDA will enter the automatic speed setting mode. The set speed
and AUTO will be displayed C in green and an audible alert will sound.
HDA will operate only when these conditions are met:
• The vehicle is traveling slower than 95 mph or the highway speed limit
• When driving on limited/controlled access highways/freeways
• When the SCC is on and operating
• When the SCC speed is set to current posted highway speed or slower
HDA User Settings:
To enable HDA, press the Mode button D on the Steering Wheel and go to User Settings
in the Instrument Cluster. Press the Move (OK ) button E up/down and press to Driver Assistance,
then Driving Assist, Highway Driving Assist. Then press the OK button E to enable.
Some models access settings through the Vehicle Settings in the audio head unit. Press the Setup
hard key on the audio head unit, then press VEHICLE on the screen to enter Vehicle Settings.
Highway Driving Assist is not a substitute for safe driving, may not detect all objects around the vehicle, and only functions on certain federal highways. Always drive safely and use caution.
