Driving your vehicle
The warning light illumi-
nates on the LCD display,
when you cancel Forward
Collision-Avoidance
Assist. The driver can
monitor Forward
Collision-Avoidance
Assist ON/OFF status on
the LCD display. Also, the
warning light illuminates
when the ESC (Electronic
Stability Control) is turned
off (Traction & Stability control dis-
abled.).
When the warning light remains ON
with Forward Collision-Avoidance
Assist activated, have your vehicle
inspected by an authorized Kia deal-
er.Warning Timing
The driver can select the initial warn-
ing activation time in the User
Settings in the instrument cluster
LCD display.
The options for the initial Forward
Collision Warning include the follow-
ing:
 Normal: When this condition is selected, the initial Forward
Collision Warning is activated nor-
mally.  Late: When this condition is select-
ed, the initial Forward Collision
Warning is activated later than nor-
mal. This setting reduces the
amount of distance between the
vehicle or pedestrian ahead before
the initial warning occurs. Select
this condition only when traffic is
light, and you are driving slowly.

Prerequisite for activation
Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist
will activate when Forward Collision-
Avoidance Assist is selected on the
LCD display, and when the following
prerequisites are satisfied:
 The ESC (Electronic Stability
Control) is activated.
 When Forward Collision- Avoidance Assist recognizes a
vehicle or the pedestrian in front.
Forward Collision-Avoidance
Assist warning message and
function control
Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist
produces warning messages, warn-
ing alarms, and emergency braking
based on the level of risk of a frontal
collision, such as when a vehicle
ahead suddenly brakes, or when the
function detects that a collision with
a pedestrian is imminent.
The driver can select the initial warn-
ing activation time in the User
Settings in the LCD display. The
options for the initial Forward
Collision Warning include Normal or
Late initial warning time.
WARNING
Forward Collision-Avoidance
Assist may not recognize every
obstacle or provide warnings
and braking in every situation, so
do not rely on Forward Collision-
Avoidance Assist to stop the
vehicle in instances where the
driver sees an obstacle and has
the ability to apply the brakes.
 Forward Collision-AvoidanceAssist automatically activates
upon placing the ignition
switch or ENGINE START/STOP
button to the ON position. The
driver can deactivate Forward
Collision-Avoidance Assist by
canceling the function setting
on the LCD display.
 Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist automatically deacti-
vates upon canceling the ESC.
When the ESC is canceled,
Forward Collision-Avoidance
Assist cannot be activated on
the LCD display. Forward
Collision-Avoidance Assist
warning light will illuminate.

Collision Warning
Additionally, some vehicle function
intervention occurs by the engine
management function to help decel-
erate the vehicle.
The vehicle may slow down slightly.
 It will operate if the vehicle speed isgreater than 3 mph (5 km/h) and
less than or equal to 110 mph (180
km/h) on a forward vehicle.
(Depending on the condition of the
vehicle ahead and the environment
surrounding it, the possible maxi-
mum operating speed may be
reduced.)  For the pedestrian, the vehicle
speed is greater than or equal to 3
mph (5 km/h) and less than 50
mph (80 km/h). (Depending on the
condition of pedestrian and the
surrounding environment the pos-
sible maximum operating speed
may be reduced.)
- If you select "Warning Only",Forward Collision-Avoidance
Assist activates and produces
only warning alarms in accor-
dance with the collision risk lev-
els. You should control the brake
directly because Forward
Collision-Avoidance Assist do not
control the brake.
Emergency Braking
Additionally, some vehicle function
intervention occurs by the engine
management function to help decel-
erate the vehicle.
The vehicle may slow down slightly.
 It will operate if the vehicle speed is greater than 3 mph (5 km/h) and
less than or equal to 37 mph (60
km/h) on a forward vehicle.
(Depending on the condition of the
vehicle ahead and the environment
surrounding it, the possible maxi-
mum operating speed may be
reduced.)

✽ ✽NOTICE
Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist
assesses the risk of a collision by
monitoring several variables such as
the distance to the vehicle/pedestri-
an 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
Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist.
For the function operation, do not
attempt risky driving.
✽ ✽NOTICE
• Use only soft clothes to wash the
vehicle. Do not spray pressurized
water directly on the sensor or
sensor cover.
• Use only genuine parts to repair or replace a damaged sensor or sen-
sor cover. Do not apply paint to
the sensor cover.
• Do not tint the window or install stickers or 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 remove any front view camera components.
• Do not place reflective objects (white paper or mirror etc.) on the
dashboard. The function may acti-
vate unnecessarily due to reflec-
tion of the sunlight.
Warning message and warning
light
In this case, a warning message will
appear to notify the driver. Remove
the foreign substances to allow
Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist
to function normally.
Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist
may not properly operate in an area
(e.g. open terrain), where any vehi-
cles or objects are not detected after
turning ON the vehicle.
WARNING
Never deliberately drive danger-
ously to activate the function as
such conduct increases the risk
of an accident.

WARNING
Forward Collision-Avoidance
Assist is only a supplemental
function. It is the driver's respon-
sibility to control the vehicle
operation. Do not solely depend
on Forward Collision-Avoidance
Assist. Rather, maintain a safe
braking distance, and, if neces-
sary, depress the brake pedal to
reduce the driving speed or stop
the vehicle.
 In certain instances and undercertain driving conditions,
Forward Collision-Avoidance
Assist may activate uninten-
tionally. This initial warning
message appears on the LCD
display with a warning chime.
Also, due to sensing limita-
tions, in certain situations, the
front view camera recognition
function may not detect the
vehicle or pedestrian ahead.

Limitations of Forward
Collision-Avoidance Assist
Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist
is designed to monitor the vehicle
ahead in the roadway through front
view camera recognition to warn the
driver that a collision is imminent,
and if necessary, apply emergency
braking.
In certain situations, the front view
camera may not be able to detect the
vehicle ahead. In these cases,
Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist
may not operate normally. The driver
must pay careful attention in the fol-
lowing situations where Forward
Collision-Avoidance Assist operation
may be limited. The sensor may be limited when:
 The function may not operate for
15 seconds after the vehicle is
started or the camera is initialized.
 Front view camera contaminated or blocked.
 The camera lens is contaminated due to tinted, filmed or coated
windshield, damaged glass, or
sticky foreign matter (sticker, bug,
etc.) on the glass.
 Inclement weather such as heavy rain or snow obscures the field of
view of the camera.
 There is interference by electro- magnetic waves.
 The camera sensor recognition is limited
 The vehicle in front is too small to be detected. (for example a motor-
cycle etc.)
 The vehicle in front is an oversize vehicle or trailer that is too big to
be detected by the camera recog-
nition function. (for example a trac-
tor trailer, etc.)  The camera's field of view is not
well illuminated (either too dark or
too much reflection or too much
backlight that obscures the field of
view).
 The vehicle in front does not have their rear lights or their rear lights
does not turned ON or their rear
lights are located unusually.
 The outside brightness changes suddenly, for example when enter-
ing or exiting a tunnel.
 Light coming from a street light or an oncoming traffic is reflected on
a wet road surface such as a pud-
dle in the road.
 The field of view in front is obstructed by sun glare or head
light of oncoming vehicle.
 The windshield glass is fogged up; a clear view of the road is obstruct-
ed.
 The vehicle in front is driving errat- ically.
 The vehicle is on unpaved or uneven rough. surfaces, or road
with sudden gradient changes.

Situation in which the function
may not detect pedestrian
properly
The sensor may be limited when:
 The pedestrian is not fully detectedby the camera recognition function,
for example, if the pedestrian is
leaning over or is not fully walking
upright.
 The pedestrian is moving very quickly or appears abruptly in the
camera detection area.
 The pedestrian is wearing clothing that easily blends into the back-
ground, making it difficult to be
detected by the camera recogni-
tion function.
 The outside lighting is too bright (e.g. when driving in bright sun-
light or in sun glare) or too dark.
(e.g. when driving on a dark rural
road at night)
 It is difficult to detect and distin- guish the pedestrian from other
objects in the surroundings, for
example, when there is a group of
pedestrians, or a large crowd.  There is an item similar to a per-
son's body structure
 The pedestrian is small.
 The pedestrian has impaired mobility.
 The sensor recognition is limited.
 The camera is blocked with a for- eign object or debris.
 Inclement weather such as heavy rain or snow obscures the field of
view of the camera.
 When light coming from a street light or an oncoming vehicle is
reflected on a wet road surface
such as a puddle in the road.
 The field of view in front is obstructed by sun glare.
 The windshield glass is fogged up; a clear view of the road is obstruct-
ed.
 The adverse road conditions cause excessive vehicle vibrations while
driving.
 The sensor recognition changes suddenly when passing over a
speed bump.  You are on a roundabout.
 The pedestrian suddenly appears
in front of the vehicle.
 There is any other electromagnetic interference.
