ADVANCED DRIVER ASSISTANCE SYSTEMS (ADAS)
ADASEMERGENCY BRAKING
COLLISION WARNINGFCA 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

Smart Cruise Control (SCC) with Stop & Go*†6 (continued)
REMINDERS: •
The cruise control system will not activate until the brake pedal has been depressed at least once after the ignition is ON or engine starting •
When following a vehicle, the system will automatically adjust your cruise speed based on the vehicle detected in front •
SCC is also canceled when the driver’s door is opened, gear shift is changed out of D (Drive), EPB is activated, and various other conditions. See the Owner’s Manual for other conditions •
If SCC is left on, it can be activated inadvertently. Keep the system off when not in use to avoid setting a speed which the driver is not aware of •
SCC is a supplemental system and is not a substitute for safe driving. It is the responsibility of the driver to always check the speed and distance to the vehicle ahead
•
•The speed setting for SCC can be adjusted under the following conditions:
•You must be traveling at a minimum speed of 20 mph (may vary on newer models)
•
When following a vehicle, there is no minimum speed requirement
•
When following a vehicle, the system can automatically adjust your cruise speed based on the vehicle detected ahead. If the vehicle detected ahead remains at a standstill and your vehicle is also stopped for longer than 3 seconds, the system will need to be reactivated by pressing the gas pedal or pressing the RES button
QUICK TIPS
REMINDERS:
• NSCC-C requires an active navigation subscription
• NSCC-C is only available on controlled access roads and highways
Navigation-based Smart Cruise Control - Curve (NSCC-C) can automatically adjust the vehicle speed when it detects a
curved road ahead and when it receives road information from the navigation system.
To turn on NSCC-C, go to User Settings in the instrument cluster or Vehicle Settings* in the audio head unit, by selecting
Driving Convenience*, Highway Auto Speed Change. When SCC is on and operating, driving on limited/controlled access
highways and NSCC-C is turned on, then NSCC-C is enabled and the AUTO icon A will illuminate white on the Instrument
C lu s t er.
When NSCC-C detects a curve ahead, activates and reduces the vehicle speed, the AUTO icon A will turn green. When
the vehicle passes the curved road, the vehicle may return to its previously set SCC speed.
Autoset (Automatic change of set speed): If the set speed is set to the current speed limit on the highway during NSCC-C
operation, the set speed is changed automatically whenever the speed limit changes.
