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.

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 or the Audio Head Unit*
• 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
