Detecting pedestrian
The sensor may be limited when:
The pedestrian is not fully detected
by the front view camera recogni-
tion function, for example, if the
pedestrian is leaning over or is not
fully walking upright.
The pedestrian is moving very
quickly or appears abruptly in the
front view camera detection area.
The pedestrian is wearing clothing
that easily blends into the back-
ground, making it difficult to be
detected by the front view camera
recognition function.
The outside lighting is too bright
(e.g. when driving in bright sunlight
or in sun glare) or too dark (e.g.
when driving on a dark rural road
at night).
It is difficult to detect and distin-
guish the pedestrian from other
objects in the surroundings, for
example, when there is a group of
pedestrian, or a large crowd. There is an item similar to a per-
son's body structure.
The pedestrian is small.
The pedestrian has impaired
mobility.
In case of front view camera sen-
sor recognition is in a marginal
state.
When the pedestrian suddenly
interrupts in front of the vehicle.
When there is any other electro-
magnetic interference.
When the construction area, rail or
other metal object is near the
pedestrian.
In case of a large number of
pedestrian are gathered.
When it is difficult to distinguish
between surroundings and pedes-
trian.
When it is at night or in dark sur-
roundings.WARNING
Do not use Forward Collision-
Avoidance Assist when tow-
ing a vehicle. Application of
FCA while towing may
adversely affect the safety of
your vehicle or the towing
vehicle.
Use extreme caution when the
vehicle in front of you has
cargo that extends rearward
from the cab, or when the
vehicle in front of you has
higher ground clearance.
FCA is designed to detect and
monitor the vehicle ahead in
the roadway through front

FCA warning message and
function control
FCA produces warning messages
and warning alarms in accordance
with the collision risk levels of follow-
ings like vehicle’s sudden braking in
front or lack of vehicle distance or
collision to pedestrian or cyclist.
Also, it controls the brakes in accor-
dance with the collision risk levels.
The driver can select the initial warn-
ing activation time in the User set-
tings in the LCD display. The
options for the initial Forward
Collision Warning include Normal or
Late initial warning time.
Collision Warning (1st warning)
The warning message appears on
the LCD display with the warning
alarms.
The Vehicle may slow down slightly
- It will operate if the vehicle speed
is greater than 5 mph (8 km/h)
and less than or equal to 110
mph (180 km/h) on a forward
vehicle. (Depending on the condi-
tion of the vehicle ahead and the
environment surrounding it, the
possible maximum operating
speed may be reduced.)

Brake operation
In an urgent situation, the braking
system enters into the ready status
for prompt reaction to assist the driv-
er in depressing the brake pedal.
FCA provides additional braking
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 braking control is automatical-
ly canceled, when risk factors dis-
appear.
Detecting sensors (Front view
camera/Front radar)
The sensors are that detecting the
distance to vehicles ahead, pedestri-
an or cyclist.
CAUTION
The driver should always pay
great caution to vehicle opera-
tion, even though there is no
warning message or warning
alarm.
WARNING
FCA cannot avoid all collisions.
FCA might not completely stop
the vehicle before a collision,
due to ambient, weather and
road conditions. The driver has
the responsibility to drive safely
and control the vehicle.
WARNING
FCA operates in accordance
with certain risk factors, such as
the distance from the
vehicle/passer-by in front, the
speed of the vehicle/passer-by in
front, and the driver's vehicle
operation.ODEP059029

Lane Keeping Assist detects 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 function detects the vehicle stray-
ing from its lane, it warns the driver
with a visual and audible warning,
while applying a slight counter-steer-
ing torque, trying to prevent the vehi-
cle from moving out of its lane.
LANE KEEPING ASSIST (LKA) (IF EQUIPPED)
WARNING
Driver is responsible for being
aware of surroundings and
steering the vehicle safely.
Do not steer the steering
wheel suddenly when the
steering wheel is being assist-
ed by the function.
LKA helps prevent the driver
from moving out of the lane
unintentionally by assisting
the driver’s steering. If the
driver intentionally drives on
one side of the driving lane, a
continuous steering force
may occur. However, the func-
tion is just a convenience
function and the steering
wheel is not always con-
trolled. While driving, the driv-
er should pay attention to the
steering wheel.
(Continued)
(Continued)
The operation of LKA can be
canceled or not work properly
depending on road condition
and surroundings. Always be
cautious when driving.
Do not disassemble the front
view camera or attached any
type of coating or accessories
to it. If you disassemble the
front view camera, take your
vehicle to an authorized Kia
dealer to check if the function
needs a calibration.
When you replace the wind-
shield glass, front view cam-
era or related parts of the
steering, take your vehicle to
an authorized Kia dealer to
check if the function needs a
calibration.

LKA operation
To activate/deactivate LKA :
With the ignition switch or ENGINE
START/STOP button in the ON posi-
tion, press the Lane Safety button
located on the instrument panel on
the lower left hand side of the driver.
The indicator ( )in the cluster dis-
play will initially illuminate white.
When the indicator(white) was acti-
vated in the previous ignition cycle,
the function turns on without any
control. If you press the Lane Safety
button again, the indicator on the
cluster display will go off.
(Continued)
The function detects lane
markers and controls the
steering wheel by a front view
camera, therefore, if the lane
markers are hard to detect,
the function may not work
properly. Always be cautious
when using the function.
When the lane markers are
hard to detect, please refer to
“DRIVER’S ATTENTION”.
Do not remove or damage the
related parts of the front view
camera function.
Do not place objects on the
crash pad that reflect light
such as mirrors, white paper,
etc. it may cause malfunction
of LKA if sunlight is reflected.
You may not hear warning
sound of LKA because of the
excessive audio sound.
(Continued)(Continued)
If other beeps such as the
seat belt warning sound are in
operation and override LKA
alarming function, LKA beeps
may not occur.
At high vehicle speeds, the
steering torque needed for
assistance may not be suffi-
cient to keep your vehicle
within the lane. If so, the vehi-
cle may move out of its lane.
Always obey the speed limit
when using LKA.
If you attach objects to the
steering wheel, the function
may not assist steering.
If you attach objects to the
steering wheel, hands off
alarm may not work properly.

Lane Keeping Assist
LKA mode guides the driver to keep
the vehicle within the lanes. It rarely
controls the steering wheel, when
the vehicle drives well inside the
lanes. However, it starts to control
the steering wheel, when the vehicle
is about to deviate from the lanes.
Lane Departure Warning
LDW warns the driver with a visual
and acoustic warning when the func-
tion detects the vehicle leaving the
lane. In this mode, the steering wheel
will not be controlled. When the vehi-
cle’s front wheel contacts the inside
edge of lane line, the contacted line
will be displayed on the LCD display.
Off
If you select ‘Off’, it is the same with
pressing Lane Safety ( ) button
to release.
