- Driving on a curve
The performance of Forward
Collision-Avoidance Assist may be
limited when driving on a curved
road. The front camera or radar sensor
recognition system may not detect
the vehicle or pedestrian traveling in
front on a curved road.
This may result in no alarm and brak-
ing when necessary.
Always pay attention to road and
driving conditions, and if necessary,
depress the brake pedal to reduce
your driving speed in order to main-
tain a safe distance.

- Recognizing the vehicle
When the vehicle in front has heavy
loading extended rearward, or when
the vehicle in front has higher ground
clearance, it may induce a haz-
ardous situation. Always pay atten-
tion to road and driving conditions,
while driving and, if necessary,
depress the brake pedal to reduce
your driving speed in order to main-
tain distance.
Detecting pedestrians
The sensor may be limited when:
• The pedestrian is not fully detectedby the camera recognition system,
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
camera detection area
• The pedestrian is wearing clothing that easily blends into the back-
ground, making it difficult to be
detected by the camera recogni-
tion system
• 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
pedestrians, 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
• The sensor recognition is limited
• The radar sensor or camera is cov- ered with a foreign object or debris
• Inclement weather such as heavy rain or snow obscures the field of
view of the radar sensor or camera
• When light coming from a street light or an oncoming vehicle is
reflected on a wet road surface
such as a puddle in the road
• The field of view in front is obstructed by sun glare
• The windshield glass is fogged up.
• Adverse road conditions cause excessive vehicle vibrations while
driving
• When the pedestrian suddenly appears in front of the vehicle
• When there is any other electro- magnetic interference
• When a construction area, rail or other metal object is near the
pedestrian.

Lane Keeping Assist is designed to
detect 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 system detects the vehicle
straying from its lane, it alerts the
driver with a visual and audible warn-
ing, while applying a slight counter-
steering torque, trying to prevent the
vehicle from moving out of its lane.
LANE KEEPING ASSIST (LKA)
OQL058203L
OQL048057L
WARNING
• Driver is responsible for being
aware of surroundings and
steering the vehicle for safe
driving practices.
• Do not turn the steering wheel suddenly when the steering
wheel is being assisted by the
system.
WARNING
Lane Keeping Assist is a supple-
mental system and is not a sub-
stitute for safe driving practices.
It is the responsibility of the driv-
er to always pay attention and
drive safely.

✽NOTICE
• The operation of the LKA can becanceled or not work properly
according to road condition and
surroundings. Always be cautious
when driving.
• Do not disassemble the front view camera temporarily for tinting
windows or attaching any types of
coatings and accessories.
Do not disassemble the camera.
take your vehicle to an authorized
Kia dealer and have the system
checked to need a calibration.
• When you replace the windshield glass, front view camera or parts
of the steering, take your vehicle
to an authorized Kia dealer and
have the system checked to need a
calibration. (Continued)(Continued)
• The system is designed to detect
lane markers using a front view
camera. If the lane markers are
hard to detect, then the system
may be limited. Always be cau-
tious when using the system.
• When the lane markers are hard to detect, please refer to “Driver’s
Attention”.
• Do not remove or damage the related parts of LKA.
• Do not place objects on the dash- board that reflects light such as
mirrors, white paper, etc. It may
cause malfunction of LKA if the
sunlight is reflected.
• You may not hear warning sound of LKA if the audio volume is
high. (Continued)(Continued)
• If you drive with your hands off
the steering wheel, LKA will stop
controlling the steering wheel
after the hands off alarm. If you
drive with your hands on the
steering wheel again, the control
will be activated again.
• If the vehicle speed is high, steer- ing torque for assistance will not
be enough to keep your vehicle
within the lane. If so, the vehicle
may move out of its lane. Obey
speed limit when using LKA.
• If you attach objects to the steer- ing wheel, the system may not
assist steering.
• If you attach objects to the steer- ing wheel, hands off alarm may
not work properly.

Driving your vehicle

• If all the conditions to activate LKAare not satisfied, the system will
convert to the Lane Departure
Warning (LDW) and warn the driv-
er only when the driver crosses the
lane markers. In this scenario,
LDW does not provide any steering
inputs into the vehicle for you.
Accordingly, you must take the
necessary steps to maintain con-
trol of the vehicle and keep it with-
in the lanes.
If the driver takes hands off the steer-
ing wheel for several seconds while
LKA is activated, the system will
warn the driver. If the driver still does not have their
hands on the steering wheel after
several seconds, the system will not
control the steering wheel and warn
the driver only when the driver cross-
es the lane markers.
However, if the driver has their hands
on the steering wheel again, the sys-
tem will start providing steering
inputs.

WARNING
• Always have your hands on the
steering wheel while driving.
• If you hold the steering wheel with a light grip, the system
may generate a hands off
warning.
