Brake operation
In an urgent situation, the braking
system enters into the ready status
for prompt reaction against the dri-
ver’s depressing the brake pedal.
FCA provides additional braking
power for optimum braking per-
formance when the driver depress-
es the brake pedal.
The braking control is automatical-
ly deactivated, when the driver
sharply depresses the accelerator
pedal, or when the driver abruptly
operates the steering wheel.
The braking control is automatical-
ly canceled when risk factors dis-
appear.
✽ ✽
NOTICE
FCA system assesses the risk of a
collision by monitoring several vari-
ables such as the distance to the
vehicle/pedestrian ahead, the speed
of the vehicle/pedestrian ahead, and
the driver's operation of the vehicle.
Certain conditions such as
inclement weather and road condi-
tions may affect the operation of
FCA system.
WARNING
Never deliberately drive danger-
ously to activate the system as
such conduct increases the risk
of an accident.
WARNING
FCA is a supplemental system
and cannot completely stop the
vehicle in all situations or avoid
all collisions. It is the responsi-
bility of the driver to safely drive
and control the vehicle.
CAUTION
The driver should always exer-
cise caution when operating the
vehicle, even though there is no
warning message or warning
alarm. While other beeps such
as the seat belt warning sound
are in operation and override
FCA alarming system, FCA
beeps may not occur.

Various drive situations, which you
may encounter in SMART mode
The drive mode automatically
changes to ECO mode after a cer-
tain period of time, when you gen-
tly depress the accelerator pedal
(Your drive is categorized to be
mild.).
The drive mode automatically
changes from SMART ECO mode
to SMART COMFORT mode after
a certain period of time, when you
sharply or repetitively depress the
accelerator pedal.
The drive mode automatically
changes to SMART COMFORT
mode with the same driving pat-
terns, when the vehicle starts to
drive on an upward slope of a cer-
tain angle. The drive mode auto-
matically returns to SMART ECO
mode, when the vehicle enters a
leveled road. The drive mode automatically
changes to SMART SPORT, when
you abruptly accelerate the vehicle
or repetitively operate the steering
wheel (Your driving is categorized
to be sporty.). In this mode, your
vehicle drives in a lower gear for
abrupt accelerating/decelerating
and increases the engine brake
performance.
You may still sense the engine
brake performance, even when you
release the accelerator pedal in
SMART SPORT mode. It is
because your vehicle remains in a
lower gear over a certain period of
time.
The drive mode automatically
changes to SMART SPORT mode
only in dynamic driving situations.
In most of the normal driving situa-
tions, the drive mode sets to be
either in SMART ECO mode or in
SMART COMFORT mode.Limitation of SMART mode
The SMART mode may be limited in
following situations. (The OFF indica-
tor illuminates in those situations.)
The driver manually moves the
shift lever : It deactivates SMART
mode.
The cruise control is activated :
The cruise system may deactivate
the SMART mode. (SMART mode
is not automatically deactivated
just by activing the cruise system.)
The transmission oil temperature is
either extremely low or extremely
high : The SMART mode can be
active in most of the normal driving
situations. However, an extremely
high/ low transmission oil tempera-
ture may temporarily deactivate the
SMART mode, because the trans-
mission condition is out of normal
operation condition.

Lane Keeping Assist (LKA) system 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.
✽ ✽

NOTICE
Driver is responsible for being
aware of surroundings and steering
the vehicle, and safe driving prac-
tices.
LANE KEEPING ASSIST (LKA) SYSTEM (IF EQUIPPED)

Do not disassemble the front view
camera temporarily for tinted win-
dows or attaching any types of
coatings and accessories. If you
disassemble the camera and
assemble it again, take your vehi-
cle to an authorized Kia dealer and
have the system checked.
When you replace the windshield
glass, front view camera or sys-
tem, take your vehicle to an author-
ized Kia dealer and have the sys-
tem checked.
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 cautious
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 system.
Do not place objects on the dash-
board that reflect light such as mir-
rors, white paper, etc. This may
prevent the system from function-
ing. You may not hear warning sound of
LKA system because of excessive
audio sound.
If you drive with your hands off the
steering wheel, LKA system will
stop controlling the steering wheel
after the hands off alarm.
Afterwards, if you drive with your
hands on the steering wheel, the
control will be activated again.✽ ✽

NOTICE
• 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 sys-
tem.
• 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.
