✽ ✽
NOTICE
• Be careful not to apply unneces-
sary force on the frontal sensor
area. When the sensor moves out
of the correct position due to
external force, Forward Collision-
Avoidance Assist may not normal-
ly operate even without the warn-
ing light or message. In this case,
have your vehicle inspected by an
authorized Kia dealer.
• Keep the sensor and sensor area clean.
• Be careful not to force to shock on sensor or area. If the sensor is out
of the position by the shock,
Forward Collision-Avoidance
Assist may not normally operate
even without the warning light ON
or message. In this case, have your
vehicle inspected by an authorized
Kia dealer.
• Do not tint the window or install stickers, accessories around the
inside mirror where the front view
camera is installed.
• Make sure the front view camera installation point does not get wet. (Continued)(Continued)
• Do not impact or arbitrarily
remove any front view camera
components.
• Do not place reflective objects(white paper or mirror etc.)
on the crash pad.
Forward Collision-Avoidance
Assist may activate unnecessarily
due to reflect of the sunlight.
• For more cautions for the camera sensor, refer to Lane Keeping
Assist (LKA) in this chapter.
Warning message and warning
light
If the front view camera is covered by
bad weather or foreign objects, dust,
etc., Forward Collision-Avoidance
Assist operation may stop temporari-
ly. If this occurs, a warning message
will appear on the LCD display.
Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist
will operate normally when debris is
removed.

(Continued)
If there is a malfunction with
Forward Collision-Avoidance
Assist, the autonomous emer-
gency braking may not be
applied even through the
braking system is operating
normally.
If the vehicle in front stops suddenly, you may have less
control of the brake system.
Therefore, always keep a safe
distance between your vehicle
and the vehicle in front of you.
Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist may activate during
braking and the vehicle may
stop, suddenly shifting loose
objects toward the passen-
gers. Always keep loose
objects secured.
Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist may not activate if the
driver applies the brake pedal
to avoid a collision.
(Continued)(Continued)
Even if there is any problemwith the brake control function
of Forward Collision-Avoidance
Assist, the vehicle's basic brak-
ing performance will operate
normally. However, brake con-
trol function for avoiding colli-
sions may not activate.
Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist operates only to detect
vehicles, pedestrian in front of
the vehicle.
Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist does not operate when
the vehicle is in reverse.
Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist is not designed to
detect other objects on the
road such as animals.
Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist does not detect vehi-
cles in the opposite lane.
Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist does not detect cross
traffic vehicles that are
approaching.
(Continued)(Continued)
Forward Collision-AvoidanceAssist cannot detect the driv-
er approaching the side view
of a parked vehicle (for exam-
ple on a dead end street.) In
these situations, you must
maintain a safe braking dis-
tance, and if necessary,
depress the brake pedal to
reduce the driving speed in
order to maintain a safe dis-
tance.
Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist may not activate as a
result of the road conditions,
inclement weather, driving
conditions or traffic condi-
tions.
Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist does not operate for all
vehicles and pedestrian.

Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist
may recognize a vehicle or pedestrian
in the next lane or outside the lane
when driving on a curved road. If this
occurs, the function may unnecessar-
ily alarm the driver and apply the
brake. Always pay attention to road
and driving conditions, while driving. - Driving on a slope
The performance of Forward
Collision-Avoidance Assist may be
decreased while driving upward or
downward on a slope. The front view
camera recognition may not detect
the vehicle or pedestrian in front.This may result in unnecessary
alarm and braking or no alarm and
braking when necessary. When the
function suddenly recognizes the
vehicle or pedestrian in front while
passing over a slope, you may expe-
rience sharp deceleration. Always
keep your eyes forward while driving
upward or downward on a slope,
and, if necessary, depress the brake
pedal to reduce your driving speed in
order to maintain distance.

- Changing lanes
When a vehicle changes lanes in
front of you, Forward Collision-
Avoidance Assist may not immedi-
ately detect the vehicle, especially if
the vehicle changes lanes abruptly.
In this case, you must maintain a
safe braking distance, and if neces-
sary, depress the brake pedal to
reduce your driving speed in order to
maintain a safe distance.When driving in stop-and-go traffic,
and a stopped vehicle in front of you
merges out of the lane, Forward
Collision-Avoidance Assist may not
immediately detect the new vehicle
that is now in front of you. In this
case, you must maintain a safe brak-
ing distance, 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.

In bad weather conditions such as
heavy rain, heavy snow, and fog, or
when sensor is covered by foreign
material, dust, etc., the sensors will
be degraded and the function will be
temporarily disabled.
Always keep the sensor clean.✽ ✽
NOTICE
• Do not install any accessories,
such as license plate molding or
sticker, on the sensor area. Nor
arbitrarily replace the bumper.
Those may adversely affect the
sensing performance.
• Always keep the sensor/bumper area clean.
• Use only soft cloths to wash the vehicle. Also, do not spray highly-
pressurized water on the sensor
installed on the bumper.
• Be careful not to apply unneces- sary force on the frontal sensor
area. When the sensor moves out
of the correct position due to
external force, the function may
not normally operate even without
the warning light or message. In
this case, have your vehicle
inspected by an authorized Kia
dealer.
• Use only the genuine Kia sensor cover. Do not arbitrarily apply
paint on the sensor cover. (Continued)(Continued)
• Do not tint the window or install
stickers, accessories around the
inside mirror where the camera is
installed.
• Make sure the front view camera installation point does not get wet.
• Do not impact or arbitrarily remove any front radar compo-
nents.
• Do not place reflective objects(white paper or mirror etc.)
on the crash pad.
The function may activate unnec-
essarily due to reflect of the sun-
light.
• Excessive audio volume may dis- turb the sound of the function
warning alarm.
• For more cautions for the front view camera sensor, refer to the
“Lane Keeping Assist (LKA)” in
this chapter.

- Driving on a curved road
The performance of Forward
Collision-Avoidance Assist may be
limited when driving on a curved
road.
The front view camera or front radar
sensor recognition function may not
detect the vehicle, pedestrian or
cyclist 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. Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist
may recognize a vehicle or pedestri-
an or cyclist in the next lane or out-
side the lane when driving on a
curved road.
If this occurs, the function may
unnecessarily alarm the driver and
apply the brake. Always pay attention
to road and driving conditions, while
driving.

- Driving on a sloped road
The performance of Forward
Collision-Avoidance Assist may be
decreased while driving upward or
downward on a sloped road. The
front view camera or front radar sen-
sor recognition may not detect the
vehicle, pedestrian or cyclist in front.
This may result in unnecessary
alarm and braking or no alarm and
braking when necessary.
When the function suddenly recog-
nizes the vehicle, pedestrian or
cyclist in front while passing over a
slope, you may experience sharp
deceleration.
Always keep your eyes forward while
driving upward or downward on a
sloped road, and, if necessary,
depress the brake pedal to reduce
your driving speed in order to main-
tain distance.- Changing lanes
