Rear Cross-Traffic Collision Avoidance Assist (RCCA)*†6
REMINDERS:
•
The RCCA feature can be turned OFF/ON in User Settings, under Driver Assistance, Parking Safety
•
When vehicle power is cycled, RCCA will remain in the previous state
•
When a vehicle is approaching within the sensing range, and traveling faster than 3 mph, the RCCA system will show a warning
•
The RCCA systems is a supplemental system. Do not solely rely on this system and always pay attention to the road and its conditions
Rear Cross-Traffic Collision-Avoidance Assist (RCCA) is designed to warn the driver, under certain
conditions, may activate the Electronic Stability Control (ESC) and temporarily apply braking if it
detects cross traffic approaching the vehicle, when vehicle is in reverse.
Initially, RCCA provides Rear Cross-Traffic Collision Warning (RCCW ) when the system sensors
detect approaching vehicles or pedestrians from the rear left or rear right side of the vehicle A.
RCCA will sound a warning, the warning indicators on the outside rearview mirror will illuminate
and a message will appear on the Instrument Cluster LCD B. If RCCA detects that the collision
risk has increased, the system automatically applies the brakes to reduce your speed, potentially
helping to minimize the effects of a possible collision.
RCCA is designed to operate under the following conditions:
• When the gear shift is in Reverse
• When the vehicle is moving slower than 6 mph
RCCA User Settings:
• To go to the User Settings menu in the Instrument Cluster, press the Mode button C
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, and select User Settings
• To turn RCCA on when in User Settings , press the Move (OK ) button D up/down, select
Driver Assistance, Parking Safety, Rear Cross-Traffic Safety and then press OK D
• To set the initial warning activation time, go to User Settings , press the Move (OK ) button D
up/down, then go to Driver Assistance, Warning Time and press the OK button D
• There are two settings:
– 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
• Some models access settings through the Vehicle Settings in the
audio head unit. Press the Setup hard key on the audio head unit,
then VEHICLE on the screen to enter Vehicle Settings
Refer to section 4 in the Owner’s Manual for more information.

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

Highway Driving Assist (HDA)*†6
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 CRUISE 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.
