NOTICE
• Do not apply license plate molding
or foreign objects such as a
bumper sticker or a bumper guard
licence plate molding near the
radar sensor. Doing so may
adversely affect the sensing per-
formance of the radar.
• Always keep the radar sensor and the radar cover clean and free of
dirt and debris.
• Use only a soft cloth to wash the vehicle. Do not spray pressurized
water directly on the sensor or
sensor cover.
• Be careful not to apply unneces- sary force on the radar sensor or
sensor cover. If the sensor is
forcibly moved out of proper
alignment, FCA may not operate
correctly. In this case, a warning
message may not be displayed. In
this case, we recommend you have
the vehicle inspected by an
authorized Kia dealer. (Continued)(Continued)
• If the front bumper becomes dam-
aged in the area around the radar
sensor, FCA system may not oper-
ate properly. In this case, we rec-
ommend you have the vehicle
inspected by an authorized Kia
dealer.
• Use only genuine parts to repair or replace a damaged sensor or sen-
sor cover. Do not paint to the sen-
sor cover.
• Never install any accessories or stickers on the front windshield,
or tint the front windshield.
• Never place any reflective objects (i.e. white paper, mirror) over the
dashboard. Any light reflection
may cause a malfunction of the
system.
• Make sure the frontal camera does not get wet.
• Never disassemble the camera assembly, or apply any impact on
the camera assembly.
• Playing the vehicle audio system at high volume may prevent occu-
pants from hearing FCA warn-
ings. (Continued)(Continued)
• Be careful not to apply unneces-
sary force on the sensor. If the sen-
sor is forcibly moved out of proper
alignment, the system may not
operate correctly. In this case, a
warning message may not be dis-
played. In this case, we recom-
mend you have the vehicle inspect-
ed by an authorized Kia dealer.

Warning message and warninglight
When the cover is covered with dirt,
snow, or debris, FCA system opera-
tion may stop temporarily.
If this occurs, a warning message will
appear on the LCD display.
Remove any dirt, snow, or debris and
clean the sensor before operating
FCA. The system will operate normally
when such dirt, snow or debris is
removed.
However, FCA may not properly
operate in an area (e.g. open ter-
rain), where any objects are not
detected after turning ON the engine.
Although a warning message will not
appear on the LCD display, FCA may
not properly operate.
System malfunction
When FCA is not working properly,
the FCA warning light ( ) will illu-
minate and the warning message
will appear for a few seconds. After
the message disappears, the mas-
ter warning light ( ) will illuminate.
In this case, have the vehicle
inspected by an authorized Kia
dealer.
The FCA warning message may appear along with the illumination
of the ESC warning light.

If the vehicle in front stops
suddenly, you may have less
control of the brake system.
Therefore, always keep safe
distance between your vehicle
and the vehicle in front of you.
FCA may activate during brak- ing and the vehicle may stop
suddenly. And the load in the
vehicle may endanger passen-
gers. Therefore, always be
mindful of the load volume in
the vehicle.
FCA may not activate if the driver applies the brake pedal
to avoid risk of collision.
FCA does not operate when the vehicle is in reverse. In
these circumstances, you
must maintain a safe braking
distance, and if necessary,
depress the brake pedal to
reduce the driving speed in
order to maintain a safe dis
tance.
(Continued)WARNING
FCA is only a supplementalsystem for the driver’s con-
venience. The driver has the
ultimate responsibility to con-
trol and operate the vehicle
safely. Do not solely depend
on FCA. Rather, maintain a
safe braking distance, and, if
necessary, depress the brake
pedal to lower the driving
speed.
In certain instances and under certain driving condi-
tions, FCA may activate unin-
tentionally. This initial warning
message appears on the LCD
display with a warning chime.
Also, in certain instances the
front radar sensor or camera
recognition system may not
detect the vehicle or pedestri-
an ahead. FCA may not acti-
vate and the warning mes-
sage will not be displayed.
(Continued)
(Continued)
FCA may unnecessarily pro-duce the warning message
and the warning alarms. Also,
due to the sensing limitation,
FCA may not produce the
warning message and the
warning alarm at all.
When there is a malfunction with FCA, the braking control
does not operate upon detect-
ing a collision risk even with
other braking systems nor-
mally operating.
FCA operates only for the vehicle/pedestrian in front,
while driving forward. It does
not operate for any animals or
vehicles in the opposite direc-
tion.
FCA does not recognize the vehicle, which transversally
drives across the crossroad,
or the vehicle, which is parked
in the transversal direction.

steering wheel indicator will illumi-
nate.
Warning
If the vehicle leaves a lane, the lane
marker you cross will blink on the
LCD display.
If the vehicle moves out its lane
because steering torque for assis-
tance is not enough, the line indica-
tor will blink.
WARNING
The Lane Keeping Assist is a
system to help prevent the driv-
er from leaving the lane.
However, the driver should not
solely rely on the system but

When there is a problem with the sys-
tem do one of the following:
Turn the system on after turning
the engine off and on again.
Check if the ignition switch is in the ON position.
Check if the system is affected by the weather. (ex: fog, heavy rain,
etc.)
Check if there is foreign matter covering the camera lens
If the problem is not solved, take your
vehicle to an authorized Kia dealer
and have the system checked.LKA system Function Change
The driver can change LKA to Lane
Departure Warning System (LDW
system) or change LKA mode
between Standard LKA and Active
LKA from the User Settings Mode on
the LCD display.
The driver can choose them by plac-
ing the ignition switch to the ON posi-
tion and by selecting ‘User Settings’,
‘Driver Assistance’, and ‘Lane
Keeping Assist’.
The system is automatically set to
Standard LKA.
Lane Departure
LDW alerts the driver with a visual
and acoustic warning when the sys-
tem detects the vehicle leaving the
lane. In this mode, the system will not
provide steering inputs. When the
vehicle’s front wheel contacts the
inside edge of lane line, LKA issues
the lane departure warning.
Standard LKA
The Standard LKA mode guides the
driver to keep the vehicle within the
lanes. It provides steering inputs
when the vehicle is about to deviate
from the lanes.
Active LKA
The active LKA mode provides more
frequent steering inputs in compari-
son with the Standard LKA mode.
