Blind-Spot Collision Warning (BCW)†6
Blind-Spot Collision Warning uses rear corner radar sensors in the rear bumper
to monitor and warn the driver if it detects an approaching vehicle in the driver’s
blind spot area and before changing lanes.
The system will activate when the vehicle is traveling
more than 20 mph and will alert the driver if another
vehicle is detected by the radar sensor.
With the Engine Start /Stop button in the ON position,
press the BCW button A to turn the system ON. The
button light will illuminate. The outside rearview mirror
warning lights will also illuminate for 3 seconds.
1st-stage warning: When another vehicle is detected within the BCW warning
boundary B, a yellow indicator will illuminate on the outside rearview mirrors C.
2nd-stage warning: When 1st stage warning is on and the driver activates a
turn signal, a flashing yellow indicator will illuminate on the outside rearview
mirrors and the system will sound an alert.
REMINDERS:
§ BCW will not issue a warning if the vehicle speed is 6 mph or more above the surrounding vehicles
§ When BCW is ON and the ignition is cycled, BCW returns to its previous state
§
BCW and RCCW are supplemental systems. Do not solely rely on these systems and always pay attention the road and its conditions and drive safely.
See section 5 in the Owner’s Manual for more information.
REMINDERS:
§ The RCCA Warning sound can be adjusted in the User Settings* or the Vehicle Settings* on the audio head unit
§ When vehicle power is cycled, RCCA will remain in the previous state RCCA can be turned OFF/ON in User Settings
§ RCCA will show a warning if the approaching vehicle speed is between 2.5-22 mph within sensing range. See owner’s manual for other conditions
§ RCCA 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 Warning (RCCW)†6
If Rear Cross-Traffic Collision Warning (RCCW ) sensors detect vehicles approaching from the rear left or rear
right side D, the system will sound an audible alert, the warning indicators on the outside rearview mirror will
illuminate and a message will appear on the LCD screen. RCCA may activate the Electronic Stability Control
(ESC) to help avoid an imminent collision. RCCA may temporarily apply braking power when an approaching
vehicle is detected within a certain distance next to or behind the vehicle.
RCCW is designed to operate under these conditions:
§ When the vehicle is in Reverse
§ When the vehicle is moving less than 6 mph

Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist (FCA)*† 10
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 a Forward Collision Warning when it
detects a potential collision with a vehicle or a pedestrian in front, emitting an
audible warning and visual alert on the instrument cluster A.
Adjust the Warning Time (Early, Normal, Late) in the User Settings. 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, Forward Collision-
Avoidance Assist (FCA) automatically applies the brakes to reduce your speed,
potentially helping to reduce the effects of a possible collision.
FCA will become active when the:
§ Engine Start /Stop button is ON
§ Vehicle is traveling more than 5 mph
§ Electronic Stability Control (ESC) is ON
REMINDERS:
§ FCA will be activated by default when the ignition is cycled ON, even when previous setting was OFF
§ FCA will not operate when the vehicle is traveling more than approximately 45/50 mph, respectively
§ If FCA is operating and the ESC (Electronic Stability Control) is turned off, FCA is automatically turned off
§ When FCA is turned off, the FCA warning indicator illuminates on in the Instrument Cluster

Lane Keeping Assist (LKA)*†6
With the Engine Start /Stop button in the ON position, press the Lane Safety
button A to turn system ON. The instrument cluster indicator will initially
illuminate white. It will remain white when the vehicle is traveling less than
40 mph and the system does not detect lane markers. When LK A detects the lane
markers and can assist the steering, the Lane Safety icon will illuminate green.
If LK A detects that you are moving outside of your lane, the system may give
an audible warning and display a Lane Departure Warning on the instrument
cluster. If the vehicle continues to move outside of the lane, LK A will provide
steering inputs, trying to prevent the vehicle from moving outside its lane.
LK A is the operating mode by default when the Lane Safety button is
depressed to ON. To switch between modes (Active LK A, LK A and Lane
Departure Warning), go to User Settings in the Instrument Cluster.
The three available modes are:
Active LK A - Provides more frequent steering inputs than standard LK A
Lane Keeping Assist - Guides driver to keep vehicle within lanes and provides
steering inputs when vehicle is about to deviate from the lane
Lane Departure Warning - Alerts driver when the system detects
the vehicle leaving the lane. In this mode the system will not
provide steering inputs
All systems will activate under the following conditions:
§ The vehicle exceeds approximately 40 mph
§ LK A recognizes both sides of the lane markers the vehicle is
traveling in
§ The vehicle is between the lane markers
REMINDERS:
§
LK A will not issue a warning if the turn signal or hazard signal is activated
§
LK A will return to its previous state when the ignition is cycled
§ LK A is not a substitute for safe and proper driving. Always drive safely and use caution
§ LK A may not always alert the driver if the vehicle is about to be driven outside of its lane
When the front view camera detects the lane the vehicle’s traveling in, both lanes are illuminated
When the front view camera does not detect the lane the vehicle’s traveling in the lanes are not illuminated
When the front camera detects the vehicle moving outside of the lane the vehicle’s traveling in, a vehicle crossing lane indicator will blink, either on the left or right lane (as shown in both images above)

Driver Attention Warning (DAW)†7
DAW is designed to alert the driver if it detects certain inattentive
driving and, in certain situations, can give a warning signal to take
a break from driving.
DAW is set to OFF by default. To turn DAW ON, turn the ignition on
and then select User Settings in the LCD Display on the Instrument
Cluster. Then go to Driving Assist and select Driver Attention
Warning. Set the DAW System to Normal or High Sensitivity.
Driver Attention Warning modes:
Off: Driver Attention Warning is deactivated A.
Normal Sensitivity: Driver Attention Warning warns the driver if it
detects driver of his/her inattentive driving practices.
High Sensitivity: Driver Attention Warning warns the driver if it
detects driver of his/her inattentive driving practices faster than
Normal mode.
If DAW is activated, the DAW information will appear on the LCD
Display B when you select the Driving Assist mode .
A message, “Consider taking a break,” appears on the LCD display
and a warning sounds to suggest the driver take a break when the
driver’s attention level is below one bar C.
REMINDERS:
§ The set-up of DAW will be maintained, as selected, when the ignition is cycled
§ When activated, DAW does not display the “Consider taking a break” message when the total trip driving time is less than 10 minutes
§ DAW will enter a standby mode if the camera does not detect the lanes and/or the driving speed remains under 40 mph

Electronic Stability Control (ESC)†8 / Traction Control System (TCS)†8
Electronic Stability Control (ESC) is designed to help stabilize the vehicle
during certain cornering maneuvers. Traction Control System ( TCS) can help
improve traction. It is a good idea to keep both ESC and TCS turned on
for daily driving whenever possible.
Press the ESC button A to turn Traction Control System OFF/ON.
To turn both Electronic Stability Control and Traction Control System OFF, press
and hold the ESC button for more than 3 seconds. Press again to turn ON.
Hill-start Assist Control (HAC)†8
Hill-start Assist Control (HAC) is designed to prevent the vehicle from rolling backwards when accelerating from
a stop while on a steep incline.
HAC automatically activates whether ESC is OFF or ON but does NOT activate when ESC has
malfunctioned.
REMINDERS:
§ HAC does not operate when the gear shift is in P (Park) or N (Neutral) position
§
HAC does not replace the need to apply brakes while the vehicle is stopped on an incline
§ In the event of HAC system malfunction, see an Authorized Kia Dealer for service
