Limitation of Active ECO operation:
If the following conditions occur while
Active ECO is operating, the system
operation is limited even though
there is no change in the ECO indi-
cator.
• When the coolant temperature is

low:
The system will be limited until
engine performance becomes nor-
mal.

• When driving up a hill:

The system will be limited to gain
power when driving uphill because
the engine torque is restricted.

• When using manual mode:

The system will be limited accord-
ing to the shift location.

• When the accelerator pedal is

deeply depressed for a few sec-
onds:
The system will be limited, judging
that the driver wants to speed up.

Comfort mode

The steering wheel
becomes lighter.

The

comfort mode is usually
used when driving in the
city or when parking the
vehicle.
• For your safety, if you

press the steering mode
button while operating
the steering wheel, but
the steering effort will
not change immediately.
After operating the
steering wheel, the
steering effort will
change automatically to
the selected mode.

•

Use caution when
changing the steering
mode while driving.

•

When the electronic

power steering is not
operating properly, the
flex steering wheel will
not work.

The Blind-Spot Collision Warning
(BCW) system uses radar sensors in
the rear bumper to monitor and warn
the driver of an approaching vehicle
in the driver's blind spot area.
The system monitors the rear area of
the vehicle and provides information
to the driver with an audible alert and
a indicator on the outside rearview
mirrors

(1) Blind spot area

The BCW range varies relative to

vehicle speed. Note that if your
vehicle is traveling much faster
than the vehicles around you, the
warning will not occur.

(2) Closing at high speed

The BCW-Closing at high speed

feature will alert you when a vehi-
cle is approaching in an adjacent
lane at a high rate of speed. If the
driver activates the turn signal
when the system detects an
oncoming vehicle, the system
sounds an audible alert. Distance
from approaching vehicle can be
seen differently according to the
relative speed.

(3) RCCW (Rear Cross-Traffic

Collision Warning)
The RCCW feature monitors

approaching cross traffic from the
left and right side of the vehicle
when your vehicle is in reverse.
The feature will operate when the
vehicle is moving in reverse
below about 6 mph (10 km/h). If
oncoming cross traffic is detected
a warning chime will sound.
Distance from approaching vehi-
cle can be seen differently
according to the relative speed.

(10km/h) with the shift lever in R
(Reverse).

• The RCCW (Rear Cross-Traffic

Collision Warning) detecting range
is 1.6 feet ~ 65 feet based on the
side direction. If the approaching
vehicle speed is
2.5 mph (4 km/h) ~ 22 mph (36
km/h) within sensing range, it is
detected. However, the system
sensing range can vary based on
conditions. Always pay attention to
your surroundings.

the opposite direction or moving
slow, or if the vehicle is right
behind your vehicle, if the direction
of the other vehicle is not heading
towards your vehicle, the warning
is cancelled.

Driving your vehicle

❈ If your vehicle's left or right side

bumper is blinded by a barrier or
vehicles, the system sensing abili-
ty may be deteriorated.

When the BCW system is being acti-
vated, the warning light on the out-
side rearview mirror will illuminate
whenever a vehicle is detected at the
rear side by the system. To avoid
accidents, do not focus only on the
warning light and neglect to see the
surrounding of the vehicle.

✽

✽

NOTICE

• The system may not work proper-

ly if the bumper has been replaced
or if repair work has been done
near the sensor.

• The detection area differs accord-

ing to the road's width. If the road
is narrow the system may detect
other vehicles in the next lane.

• If the road is very wide the system

may not detect other vehicles.

• The system may turn off due to

strong electromagnetic interfer-
ence.

WARNING

• The Blind-Spot Collision

Warning System and Rear
Cross-Traffic Collision
Warning is not a substitute for
proper and safe lane chang-
ing procedures. Always drive
safely and use caution when
changing lanes. The Blind-
Spot Collision Warning
System may not detect every
object alongside the vehicle.

(Continued)

(Continued)
• Drive safely even though the

vehicle is equipped with a BCW
(Blind-Spot Collision Warning)
system. Do not solely rely on
the system but check for your-
self before changing lanes.
The system may not alert the
driver in some conditions so
always check the surround-
ings while driving.

Warning message

The message will appear to notify
the driver if there are foreign sub-
stances on the surface or inside the
rear bumper or it is hot near the rear
bumper. The light on the switch and
the system will be turned off auto-
matically.
Remove the foreign substance on
the rear bumper.
After the foreign substance is
removed, if you drive for approxi-
mately 10 minutes, the system will
work normally.

If the system does not work normally
even though the foreign substance,
trailer or carrier, or other equipment
is removed, take your vehicle to a
professional workshop and have the
system checked. We recommend
that the system be checked by an
authorized Kia dealer.
It is possible to get the message with
no foreign substance on the rear
bumper, for example, when driving in
sparse rural or open area, such as
desert, where there is insufficient
data for operation.
This message may also activate dur-
ing heavy rain or due to road spray.
In this case, the vehicle does not
need service.
When the cargo area or other equip-
ment is being used, turn all functions
of the system [OFF].

If the system does not work properly,
a warning message will appear and
the light on the switch will turn off. The
system will turn off automatically.

We recommend that the system be
checked by an authorized Kia dealer.

suddenly if the LDW warns
that your vehicle is leaving the
lane.

• If the a front view camera can-

not detect the lane or if the
vehicle speed does not
exceed 40 mph (64 kph), the
LDW will not be able to notify
you if the vehicle leaves the
lane.
