• If the vehicle moves out its lane

because steering torque for assis-
tance is not enough, the line indi-
cator of deviation direction will
blink.

• If all the conditions to activate LKA

SYSTEM are not satisfied, the sys-
tem will convert to LDW system
(Lane Departure Warning) and
warn the driver only when the driv-
er crosses the lane lines.

If the driver takes hands off the steer-
ing wheel for several seconds while
the LKA is activated, the system will
warn the driver.

✽

✽

NOTICE

• The warning message may appear

late according to road conditions.
Therefore, always have your
hands on the steering wheel while
driving.

• If you hold the steering wheel

lightly, the system would generate
hands off warning because LKAS
can treat the situation as you do
not grab the wheel.

If the driver still does not have their
hands on the steering wheel after
several seconds, the system will not
control the steering wheel and warn
the driver only when the driver cross-
es the lane markers.
However, if the driver has their hands
on the steering wheel again, the sys-
tem will start controlling the steering
wheel.

tem a message will appear. If the
problem continues the LKA system
fail indicator will illuminate.

WARNING

The Lane Keeping Assist
System is a system to help pre-
vent the driver from leaving the
lane. However, the driver should
not solely rely on the system
but always take the necessary
actions for safe driving prac-
tices.

LKA system fail indicator

The LKA system fail indicator (yel-
low) will illuminate with an audible
warning if the LKA system is not
working properly. In this case, have
the system checked by an authorized
Kia dealer.

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 on

the camera lens

If the problem is not solved, have the
system checked by an authorized
Kia dealer.

LKA SYSTEM Function
Change

The driver can change LKA to Lane
Departure Warning System (LDW
system) or change the LKA SYSTEM
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’,
‘Driving Assist’, and ‘Lane Keeping
Assist’.
The system is automatically set to
Standard LKA.

5 119

Driving your vehicle

Lane Departure

LDWS alerts the driver with a visual
and acoustic warning when the sys-
tem detects the vehicle leaving the
lane. In this mode, the steering wheel
will not be controlled. When the vehi-
cle’s front wheel contacts the inside
edge of lane line, LKA SYSTEM
issues the lane departure warning.

Standard LKA

The Standard LKA mode guides the
driver to keep the vehicle within the
lanes. It rarely controls the steering
wheel, when the vehicle drives well
inside the lanes. However, it starts to
control the steering wheel, when the
vehicle is about to deviate from the
lanes.

Active LKA

The active LKA mode provides more
frequent steering wheel control in
comparison with the Standard LKA
mode. Active LKA can reduce the dri-
ver’s fatigue to assist the steering for
maintaining the vehicle in the middle
of the lane.

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.
