QUICK TIP
Collision Warning
Emergency Braking
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, temporarily apply emergency braking . Initially, FCA provides Forward Collision Warning (FCW) when it detects a potential collision with a vehicle, pedestrian, or cyclist, emitting an audible warning and visual alert on the instrument cluster A .
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 User Settings:
•FCA is ON by default in most Kia models . FCA can be turned ON/ OFF by going to the User Settings in the Instrument Cluster
•To go to User Settings , press the Mode button B on the Steering Wheel when the vehicle is at a standstill, gear shift is in Park and with the ignition on or the Engine Start/Stop button* in the ON position
•Press the OK button C up/down and select User Settings then Driver Assistance
– In some models, go to Driving Assist, then Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist or Forward Collision Warning and press the OK button C
– In other models, go to Forward Safety and select Active Assist, Warning Only or Off
Then select one of the following modes:
– Active Assist: Vehicle will provide a warning (audible & visual) and may apply the brakes if needed
– Warning Only: Vehicle will provide a warning only (audible & visual)
– Off: System is off, no warnings or braking provided
•To adjust the FCA initial warning activation time, go to User Settings , Driver Assistance, Warning Timing then select Fast, Normal or Slow, depending on your Kia model:
– F a s t : When this condition is selected, the initial Forward Collision Warning is activated earlier than normal
– Normal: This setting allows for a nominal amount of distance between the vehicles before the initial warning occurs
– Slow: Reduces the amount of distance between the vehicles before the initial warning occurs
FCA/FCW will become active when the:
•Ignition is on or the Engine Start/Stop button* is ON
•Vehicle is traveling faster than 5 mph
•Electronic Stability Control (ESC) is ON
