Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist (FCA)*†6
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, apply
emergency braking. Initially, FCA provides Forward Collision Warning when it detects a potential collision with a
vehicle in front, emitting an audible warning and visual alert on the Instrument Cluster LCD A. Adjust the Warning
Time (Early, Normal, Late) in the User Settings menu on the Instrument Cluster display. FCA is ON by default and can
be turned OFF in the User Settings, selecting Driving Assist, then Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist.
If the system detects that the collision risk has increased, the FCA automatically applies the brakes to reduce your
speed, potentially helping to avoid or reduce the effects of a possible collision.
FCA will become active when the:
•Engine Start /Stop button is ON
•Vehicle is traveling more than 6 mph
•Electronic Stability Control (ESC) is ON
Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist* is not a substitute for safe and proper driving. Always drive safely and use caution. FCA may not always alert the driver when the vehicle is approaching another vehicle.
For illustrative purposes only. Your actual display, buttons and/or features may vary.
Refer to section 5 in the Owner’s Manual for more information.
REMINDERS:
• FCA will be activated by default when vehicle power is cycled on, even when previous setting is off
• If FCA is operating and the ESC (Electronic Stability Control) is turned off, FCA is automatically turned off
• When FCA is off, FCA warning indicator is on in the instrument cluster
• The warning sound can be adjusted in the User Settings

Hill-Start Assist Control (HAC)†7
HAC is designed to prevent the vehicle from rolling backward when
accelerating from a stop while on a steep incline. The HAC automatically
activates whether the ESC is OFF or ON, but does NOT activate when the ESC
has malfunctioned.
•
•HAC provides a two-second delay before the vehicle may start rolling backwards
•When HAC is active (e.g., accelerating from a stop on an incline), you may notice that the brakes will momentarily remain engaged after you depress the accelerator

Idle, Stop & Go (ISG) System*
The ISG system is designed to help reduce fuel consumption by automatically
shutting down the engine when the vehicle is at a standstill.
When the ISG system is ON, the vehicle is at a standstill, and all preconditions
have been met, the engine will stop and the green AUTO STOP indicator
on the instrument cluster will illuminate.
The engine will restart when the brake pedal is released or the shift lever is
moved from D (Drive) to the R (Reverse) position or to Manual Shift mode*.
When engine restarts, the green AUTO STOP indicator on the instrument
cluster will turn off.
To deactivate the ISG System, press the ISG OFF button A (LED lit). If you
press again, the system will be activated.
For more information on Idle, Stop and Go System, refer to section 2 in the Owner’s Manual or contact your local dealership.
REMINDERS:
•
When the AUTO STOP indicator illuminates solid yellow, the system is activated without faults, but will not operate until all the conditions are met
•
ISG is active by default at vehicle start-up. When ignition is cycled, ISG will turn ON again
•
Under certain conditions, the engine will restart automatically even if the brake pedal is still depressed

Refer to section 5 in the Owner’s Manual for more information.Dual Clutch Transmission (DCT)*
Some Kia vehicles are equipped with Dual Clutch Transmission (DCT ) for both automatic and manual transmissions.
The following are unique driving tips of the Dual Clutch Transmission:
• To hold the vehicle stationary on an incline, the service brake or parking brake MUST be used or the gear shift MUST be in the (P) Park position.
If the vehicle is held stationary by applying the accelerator pedal on a slope, the clutch/transmission may overheat, resulting in damage
• Avoid aggressive launches on steep grades as this may result in an overheated clutch and transmission
• A slight time lag may be experienced at takeoff from standstill during aggressive acceleration maneuvers
If the clutch is overheating an amber-colored warning light will be displayed on the instrument cluster. Should this condition occur,
pull over and place the vehicle in Park and idle the engine.
Refer to the Owner’s Manual for additional information on DCT operation or call Kia Consumer Affairs for additional information.
