Driving your vehicle

The warning light illumi-
nates on the LCD display,
when you cancel the FCA
system. The driver can

monitor the FCA ON/OFF status on
the LCD display. Also, the warning
light illuminates when the
ESC(Electronic Stability Control) is
turned off (Traction & Stability control
disabled.). When the warning light
remains ON with the FCA activated,
have the system checked by an
authorized Kia dealer.

The driver can select the initial warn-
ing activation time in the User
Settings in the instrument cluster
LCD display. The options for the ini-
tial Forward Collision Warning
include the following:

•

EARLY

-

When this condition is
selected, the initial
Forward Collision Warning
is activated earlier than
normal. This setting maxi-
mizes the amount of dis-
tance between the vehicle
or pedestrian ahead before
the initial warning occurs. If
the ‘EARLY’ condition feels
too sensitive, change it into
‘NORMAL’. When the vehi-
cle ahead suddenly stops,
the warning may seem to
activate later even if the
‘EARLY’

condition was

selected.

• NORMAL - When this condition is

selected, the initial
Forward Collision
Warning is activated nor-
mally. This setting allows
for a smaller amount of
distance between the
vehicle or pedestrian
ahead before the initial
warning occurs than
EARLY mode.

•

LATE

-

When this condition is

selected, the initial Forward
Collision Warning is activat-
ed later than normal. 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

The FCA will activate when the FCA
is selected on the LCD display, and
when the following prerequisites are
satisfied:
- The ESC (Electronic Stability

Control) is activated.

- The driving speed is over 6 mph.

(The FCA only works within a cer-
tain range of vehicle speeds)

- When the FCA recognizes a vehi-

cle or the pedestrian in front. (The
FCA may not recognize every
obstacle or provide warnings and
braking in every situation, so do
not rely on the FCA to stop the
vehicle in instances where the driv-
er sees an obstacle and has the
ability to apply the brakes)

• The FCA automatically activates

upon placing the ignition switch to
the ON position. The driver can
deactivate the FCA by canceling the
system setting on the LCD display.

• The FCA automatically deactivates

upon canceled, the ESC. When the
ESC is cancelind, the FCA cannot
be activated on the LCD display.
In this situation, the FCA warning
light will illuminate.

FCA warning message and
system control

The FCA system produces warning
messages, warning 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 system detects
that a collision with a pedestrian is
imminent.

WARNING

Set or cancel FCA with control-
ling switches on steering wheel
after stopping the vehicle in the
safe place for your safety.
Do not attempt to set or cancel
the FCA while your vehicle is
moving.

Driving your vehicle

Collision Warning (1st warning)

• The warning message appears on

the LCD display with the warning
alarms.

• The FCA controls the brakes within

certain limit, to reduce the impact
from the collision.

Emergency braking (2nd warning)

• The warning message appears on

the LCD display with the warning
alarms.

• The FCA controls the brakes with-

in certain limit to reduce the impact
from the collision.
The FCA controls the maximum
brakes just before the collision.

Brake operation

• In an urgent situation, the braking

system enters into the ready status
for prompt reaction against the dri-
ver’s depressing the brake pedal.

• The FCA system provides addi-

tional braking power for optimum
braking performance when the
driver depresses the brake pedal.

• The braking control is automatical-

ly deactivated when the driver
sharply depresses the brake pedal,
or when the driver abruptly turns
the steering wheel.

• The braking control is automatical-

ly canceled when risk factors dis-
appear.

The driver should always exercise
caution when operating the vehicle,
even though there is no warning
message or warning alarm.

✽

✽

NOTICE

The FCA system assesses the risk of
a collision by monitoring several
variables such as the distance to the
vehicle/pedestrian 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 the
FCA system.

FCA front radar

In order for the FCA system to oper-
ate properly, always make sure the
sensor or sensor cover is clean and
free of dirt, snow, and debris. Dirt,
snow, or foreign substances on the
lens may adversely affect the sens-
ing performance of the sensor.

✽

✽

NOTICE

• Do not install any accessories, such

as a license plate bracket or
bumper sticker near the sensor
area. Do not replace the bumper
by yourself. Doing so may adverse-
ly affect the sensing performance.

• Always keep the sensor/bumper

area clean.

• Use only a soft cloth 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 system may not
operate correctly and may not
provide a warning light or mes-
sage. In this case, we recommend
you have the vehicle inspected by
an authorized Kia dealer.

• Use only the genuine Kia sensor

cover. Do not arbitrarily apply
paint on the sensor cover.

(Continued)

WARNING

The FCA is a supplemental sys-
tem and cannot completely stop
the vehicle in all situations or
avoid all collisions. It is the
responsibility of the driver to
safely drive and control the
vehicle.

(Continued)
• Do not tint the window or install

stickers or accessories around the
inside mirror where the camera is
installed.

• Make sure the frontal camera

installation point does not get wet.

• Do not impact or remove any

radar/camera components.

• Do not place reflective

objects(white paper or mirror etc.)
on the dashboard. The system may
activate unnecessarily due to
reflect of the sunlight.

• Excessive audio system volume

may prevent occupants from
hearins the FCA.

Warning message and warning
light

When the sensor is covered or the
sensor lens is dirty with foreign sub-
stances, such as snow or rain, the
FCA system may not be able to
detect vehicles or pedestrians. In this
case, a warning message
(“Forward Collision Avoidance Assist
(FCA) system disabled.

Radar

blocked”) will appear to notify the
driver. Remove the foreign sub-
stances to allow the FCA system to
function.

Remove any dirt, snow, or debris and
clean the radar sensor cover before
operating the FCA system.
The FCA may not properly operate in
an area (e.g. open terrain), where
any substances are not detected
after turning ON the engine.

System malfunction

• When the FCA is not working prop-

erly, the FCA warning light (

)

will illuminate and the warning
message will appear for a few sec-
onds. After the message disap-
pears, the master 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.

• Due to sensing limitation, the FCA

may not produce warning mes-
sages or warning alarms in certain
situations.

Read the section

“Limitation of the system” for more
information.

• When there is a malfunction with

the FCA, the automatic braking
control does not operate even with
other braking systems normally
operating.

• The FCA only in front of it while

driving forward. It does not identify
any animals or vehicles in the
opposite direction.

• The FCA can not recognize cross-

traffic or parked vehicles present-
ing a sideprofile.

• The FCA system may not activate

if the driver applies the brake pedal
to avoid the risk of a collision.

• The FCA system does not operate

when the vehicle is in reverse. In
these cases, you must maintain a
safe braking distance, and if nec-
essary, depress the brake pedal to
reduce the driving speed.

WARNING

The FCA is only a supplemental
system for the driver’s conven-
ience.
It is the driver's responsibility to
control the vehicle. Do not sole-
ly depend on the FCA system.
Rather, maintain a safe braking
distance, and, if necessary,
depress the brake pedal to
lower the driving speed.

Limitation of the system

The FCA system is designed to mon-
itor the vehicle ahead or a pedestrian
on the roadway through radar signals
and camera recognition to warn the
driver that a collision is imminent,
and if necessary, apply emergency
braking. In certain situations, the
radar sensor or the camera may not
be able to detect the vehicle or
pedestrian ahead. In these cases,
the FCA system may not operate.
The driver must pay careful attention
in the following situations where the
FCA operation may be limited.

Recognizing vehicles

The sensor may be limited when:
- The radar or the camera is con-

taminated with foreign substances.

- It heavily rains or snows.
- There is electromagnetic interfer-

ence

- Something in the path of travel

deflects the radar waves

- The vehicle in front has a narrow

body. (i.e. motor cycle and bicycle)

- The driver's view is not clear due to

backlight, reflected light, or dark-
ness

- The camera cannot contain the full

image of the vehicle in front.

- The vehicle in front is a special

vehicle, such as a heavily-loaded
truck or a trailer.

- The outside brightness is greatly

changed, such as entering/exiting
a tunnel.

- The vehicle driving is unstable.
- The radar/camera sensor recogni-

tion is limited.

- The vehicle in front is driving errat-

ically

- The vehicle is driven near areas

containing metal substances such
as a construction zone, railroad,
etc.

- Moisture on the windshield is not

completely removed or frozen.

- The weather is misty.
- The vehicle in front does not turn

ON the rear lights, does not have
rear lights, has asymmetric rear
lights, or has rear lights out of
angle.

- The vehicle is on unpaved or

uneven rough surfaces, or roads
with sudden gradient changes.

- The vehicle is moving under ground

level or inside a building.

- If a sudden change in the sensor

recognition takes place while driv-
ing over a speed bump,

- When the vehicle is severely shaken,
- When driving around a circular

intersection with a vehicle or object
in front

- If the front of the camera lens is

contaminated by front glass tinting,
film, water repellent coating, dam-
age on glass or foreign matter
(sticker, insect, etc.)

- The radar or camera or camera

lens is damaged.

- If the headlights of the vehicle are

not used at night or in a tunnel sec-
tion, or the light is too weak

- If street light or the light of the vehi-

cle coming from the opposite direc-
tion is reflected or when sunlight is
reflected by water on the road sur-
face

- When the back light is projected in

the direction of the vehicle's motion
(including the headlights of vehi-
cles)

- Road sign, shadow on the road,

tunnel entrance, toll gate, partial
pavement

- Driving on a curve
The FCA performance maybe limited
while driving on a curve. The FCA
may not recognize the vehicle in front
even if in the same lane. It may pro-
duce the warning message and the
warning alarm prematurely, or it may
not produce the warning message or
the warning alarm at all. When driv-
ing on a curve, exercise caution,
maintain a safe braking distance,
and if necessary, depress the brake
pedal to reduce your driving speed in
order to maintain a safe distance.

OYG056042

5 47

Driving your vehicle

The FCA system may recognize a
vehicle in an adjacent lane when
driving on a curved road. In this
case, the system may apply the
brake. Always pay attention to road
and driving conditions while driving.
If necessary, depress the brake
pedal to reduce your driving speed in
order to maintain a safe distance.
Also, when necessary, you may
depress the accelerator pedal to pre-
vent the system from unnecessarily
decelerating your vehicle. Always
check the traffic conditions around
the vehicle.

- Driving on a slope
The FCA performance maybe limited
while driving upward or downward on
a slope, and may not recognize the
vehicle in front in the same lane. It
may produce the warning message
and the warning alarm prematurely
or it may not produce the warning
message and the warning alarm at
all.
When the FCA suddenly recognizes
the vehicle 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 a safe dis-
tance.

- Changing lanes
When a vehicle changes lanes in
front of you, the FCA system may not
immediately detect the vehicle, espe-
cially if the vehicle changes lanes
abruptly. In this case, you must main-
tain a safe braking distance, and if
necessary, 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, the FCA sys-
tem may not immediately detect the
new vehicle that is now in front of
you. In this case, you must maintain
a safe braking distance, and if nec-
essary, depress the brake pedal to
reduce your driving speed in order to
maintain a safe distance.

- Recognizing the vehicle
If 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, addi-
tional special attention is required.
The FCA system may not be able to
recognize the cargo extending from
the vehicle. In these instances, you
must maintain a safe braking dis-
tance from the rearmost object, and
if necessary, depress the brake
pedal to reduce your driving speed in
order to maintain distance.

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)
