LKA malfunction
• If there is a problem with the sys-tem a message will appear. If the
problem continues LKA fail indica-
tor will illuminate.
LKA fail indicator
LKA failure indicator (yel-
low) will illuminate with an
audible warning if LKA is
not working properly. In
this case, have the sys-
tem checked by an
authorized Kia dealer.WARNING
• It is the responsibility of the driver to safely steer the vehi-
cle and to maintain it in its
lane.
• Even though the steering is assisted by the system, the
driver may control the steer-
ing wheel.
• Turn off LKA and drive with- out using the system in the
following situations:
- In bad weather
- In bad road conditions
- When the steering wheelneeds to be controlled by the
driver frequently.
- When towing a vehicle or trailer
• The steering wheel may feel heavier when the steering
wheel is assisted by the sys-
tem than when it is not.

When there is a problem with the sys-
tem do one of the following:
• Turn the system on after turningthe engine off and on again.
• Check if the ignition switch is in the ON position.
• Check if the system is affected by the weather. (ex: fog, heavy rain,
etc.)
• Check if there is foreign matter covering the camera lens
If the problem is not solved, take your
vehicle to an authorized Kia dealer
and have the system checked.LKA system Function Change
The driver can change LKA to Lane
Departure Warning System (LDW
system) or change LKA mode
between Standard LKA and Active
LKA from the User Settings Mode on
the LCD display.
The driver can choose them by plac-
ing the ignition switch to the ON posi-
tion and by selecting ‘User Settings’,
‘Driver Assistance’, and ‘Lane
Keeping Assist’.
The system is automatically set to
Standard LKA.
Lane Departure
LDW alerts the driver with a visual
and acoustic warning when the sys-
tem detects the vehicle leaving the
lane. In this mode, the system will not
provide steering inputs. When the
vehicle’s front wheel contacts the
inside edge of lane line, LKA issues
the lane departure warning.
Standard LKA
The Standard LKA mode guides the
driver to keep the vehicle within the
lanes. It provides steering inputs
when the vehicle is about to deviate
from the lanes.
Active LKA
The active LKA mode provides more
frequent steering inputs in compari-
son with the Standard LKA mode.

The system will be cancelled when:
• You change lanes with the turn sig-nal.
- Using the turn signal to changelanes.
- If you change lanes without the turn signal on, the steering wheel
might be controlled.
• LKA can transit to steering assist mode when the car is near to mid-
dle of the lane after system on or
the lane was changed. LKA cannot
assist steering if the vehicle follows
a lane marker too closely.
• The control of ESC (Electronic Stability Control) or VSM (Vehicle
Stability Management) is activated.
• The steering will not be assisted when you drive fast on a sharp
curve. • The steering will not be assisted
when vehicle speed is below 40
mph (64 km/h) and over 110 mph
(177 km/h). Always obey all traffic
laws and drive safely.
• The steering will not be assisted when you change lanes quickly.
• The steering will not be assisted when you brake suddenly.
• The steering will not be assisted when the lane is very wide or nar-
r ow.
• The steering will not be assisted when only one side lane marker is
detected.
• There are more than two lane markers such as a construction
area.
• Radius of a curve is too small.
• When you turn steering wheel sud- denly, the LKA will be disabled
temporarily.
• Driving on a steep slope or hill.DRIVER’S ATTENTION
The driver must be cautious in the
following situations because the sys-
tem may be limited when recogni-
tion of the lane marker is poor or
limited :

When lane and road condition is poor
• It is difficult to distinguish the lane marker from road when the lane
marker is covered with dust or
sand.
• It is difficult to distinguish the color of the lane marker from
road.
• There is something that resembles a lane marker.
• The lane marker is indistinct or damaged.
• The number of lanes increases/ decreases or the lane lines are
crossing (Driving through a toll
plaza/toll gate, merged/divided
lane).
• There are more than two lane markers.
• The lane marker is very thick or thin. (Continued)

If there is a high risk of collision due
to sudden braking of the front vehicle
or lack of safety distance with the
vehicle ahead during SCC driving, so
that if the driver's brake or steering
wheel operation is required, the
Distance Step with the vehicle ahead
will blink on the cluster and a colli-
sion warning will sound.
In this case, immediately reduce the
speed.
CAUTION
If the vehicle ahead (vehiclespeed: less than 20 mph (30km/h) moves to the next lane,the warning chime will soundand a message will appear.Adjust your vehicle speed forvehicles or objects that cansuddenly appear in front of youby depressing the brake pedalaccording to the road conditionahead and driving condition.

WARNING
When using Smart Cruise
Control :
• The warning message appears and warning chime sounds, if
the vehicle is unable to main-
tain the selected distance
from the vehicle ahead.
• If the warning message appears and warning chime
sounds, depress the brake
pedal to actively adjust the
vehicle speed, and the dis-
tance to the vehicle ahead.
• Even if the warning message does not appear and warning
chime is does not sound,
always pay attention to the
driving conditions to prevent
dangerous situations from
occurring.
• Playing the vehicle audio sys- tem at high volume may cause
the vehicle occupants not to

Driving your vehicle
• Remember, your vehicle does notrequire extended warm-up. After
the engine has started, allow the
engine to run for 10 to 20 seconds
prior to placing the vehicle in gear.
In very cold weather, however, give
your engine a slightly longer warm-
up period.
• Don't "lug" or "over-rev" the engine. Lugging is driving too slowly in a
very high gear resulting in engine
bucking. If this happens, shift to a
lower gear. Over-revving is racing
the engine beyond its safe limit.
This can be avoided by shifting at
the recommended speed. • Use your air conditioning sparingly.
The air conditioning system is
operated by engine power so your
fuel economy is reduced when you
use it.
• Open windows at high speeds can reduce fuel economy.
• Fuel economy is less in crosswinds and headwinds. To help offset
some of this loss, slow down when
driving in these conditions.
Keeping a vehicle in good operating
condition is important both for econ-
omy and safety. Therefore, have an
authorized Kia dealer perform
scheduled inspections and mainte-
nance.
WARNING - Engine off
during motion
Never turn the engine off to
coast down hills or anytime the
vehicle is in motion. The power
steering and power brakes will
not function properly without
the engine running. In addition,
turning off the ignition while
driving could engage the steer-
ing wheel lock resulting in loss
of vehicle steering. Keep the
engine on and downshift to an
appropriate gear for an engine
braking effect.

Hazardous driving conditions
When hazardous driving conditions
are encountered such as water,
snow, ice, mud, sand, or similar haz-
ards, follow these suggestions:
• Drive cautiously and allow extradistance for braking.
• Avoid sudden braking or steering.
• When braking with non-ABS brakes pump the brake pedal with
a light up-and-down motion until
the vehicle is stopped.
Do not pump the brake pedal on a
vehicle equipped with ABS. • If stalled in snow, mud, or sand,
use the second gear. Accelerate
slowly to avoid spinning the drive
wheels.
• Use sand, rock salt, or other non- slip material under the drive
wheels to provide traction when
stalled in ice, snow, or mud.
Reducing the risk of a rollover
This multi-purpose passenger vehi-
cle is defined as a Sports Utility
Vehicle (SUV). Utility vehicles have a
significantly higher rollover rate than
other types of vehicles. SUV's have
higher ground clearance and a nar-
rower track to make them capable of
performing in a wide variety of off-
road applications. Specific design
characteristics give them a higher
center of gravity than ordinary vehi-
cles. An advantage of the higher
ground clearance is a better view of
the road, which allows you to antici-
pate problems. They are not
designed for cornering at the same
speeds as conventional passenger
vehicles, any more than low-slung
sports vehicles are designed to per-
form satisfactorily in off-road condi-
tions. Due to this risk, driver and pas-
sengers are strongly recommended
to buckle their seat belts. In a rollover
crash, an unbelted person is signifi-
cantly more likely to die than a per-
son wearing a seat belt. There are
steps that a driver can make to
reduce the risk of a rollover.
SPECIAL DRIVING CONDITIONS
WARNING- Downshifting
Do not downshift with an auto-
matic transmission while driv-
ing on slippery surfaces. The
sudden change in tire speed
could cause the tires to skid
and result in an accident.
