The vehicle drives through a toll- gate.
The windshield glass is fogged up; a clear view of the road is obstruct-
ed.
The rear part of the vehicle in front is not normally visible. (the vehicle
turns in other direction or the vehi-
cle is overturned.)

If not using headlamp or usingweak light in the night or in a tun-
nel.
Backlight is shining in the driving direction of the vehicle. (Including
oncoming vehicle headlights.)
When the rear part of the front vehicle is small or low.

- Driving on a curve
The performance of Forward
Collision-Avoidance Assist may be
limited when driving on a curved
road. The front camera or radar sensor
recognition system may not detect
the vehicle or pedestrian 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 pedestrian
in the next lane or outside the lane
when driving on a curved road. If this occurs, the system may unnec-
essarily alarm the driver and apply the
brake.
Always pay attention to road and driv-
ing 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 cam-
era or front radar sensor recognition
may not detect the vehicle or pedes-
trian in front.

Driving your vehicle
This may result in unnecessary
alarm and braking or no alarm and
braking when necessary.
When the system suddenly recog-
nizes the vehicle or pedestrian in
front while passing over a slope, you
may experience 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, FCA 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, FCA 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.
Detecting pedestrians
The sensor may be limited when:
The pedestrian is not fully detected
by the camera recognition system,
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 system
The outside lighting is too bright (e.g. when driving in bright sunlight
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 radar sensor or camera is cov- ered with a foreign object or debris
Inclement weather such as heavy rain or snow obscures the field of
view of the radar sensor or 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.
Adverse road conditions cause excessive vehicle vibrations while
driving
When the pedestrian suddenly appears in front of the vehicle
When there is any other electro- magnetic interference
When a construction area, rail or other metal object is near the
pedestrian.

In some instances, FCA may be can-
celled when subjected to electro-
magnetic interference.

wheeled objects such as lug-
gage bags, shopping carts, or
strollers.
Never try to test the operation of FCA. Doing so may cause
severe injury or death.
When front bumper or wind- shield glass is replaced or
repaired, have the vehicle
inspected by an authorized
Kia dealer.WARNING
Do not use Forward Collision -Avoidance Assist when tow-
ing a vehicle. Application of
FCA while towing may
adversely affect the safety of
your vehicle or the towing
vehicle.
Use extreme caution when the vehicle in front of you has
cargo that extends rearward
from the cab, or when the
vehicle in front of you has
higher ground clearance.
FCA is designed to detect and monitor the vehicle ahead in
the roadway through radar
signals and camera recogni-
tion. It is not designed to
detect bicycles, motorcycles,
or smaller

Lane Keeping Assist 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.
LANE KEEPING ASSIST (LKA)
OQL058203L
OQL048057L
WARNING
Driver is responsible for being
aware of surroundings and
steering the vehicle for safe
driving practices.
Do not turn the steering wheel suddenly when the steering
wheel is being assisted by the
system.
WARNING
Lane Keeping Assist is a supple-
mental system and is not a sub-
stitute for safe driving practices.
It is the responsibility of the driv-
er to always pay attention and
drive safely.

Driving your vehicle
✽ ✽NOTICE
• The operation of the LKA can be
canceled or not work properly
according to road condition and
surroundings. Always be cautious
when driving.
• Do not disassemble the front view camera temporarily for tinting
windows or attaching any types of
coatings and accessories.
Do not disassemble the camera.
take your vehicle to an authorized
Kia dealer and have the system
checked to need a calibration.
• When you replace the windshield glass, front view camera or parts
of the steering, take your vehicle
to an authorized Kia dealer and
have the system checked to need a
calibration. (Continued)(Continued)
• 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 cau-
tious 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.
• Do not place objects on the dash- board that reflects light such as
mirrors, white paper, etc. It may
cause malfunction of LKA if the
sunlight is reflected.
• You may not hear warning sound of LKA if the audio volume is
high. (Continued)(Continued)
• If you drive with your hands off
the steering wheel, LKA will stop
controlling the steering wheel
after the hands off alarm. If you
drive with your hands on the
steering wheel again, the control
will be activated again.
• 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.
• 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.
