Detecting sensor
The sensors are located inside of the
rear bumper.
Always keep the rear bumper clean
for the system to work properly.
RCCW (Rear Cross-Traffic
Collision Warning)
When your vehicle moves backwards
from a parking position, the sensor
detects approaching vehicles to the
left or right side direction and gives
information to the driver.
Operating conditions
Select RCCW (Rear Cross-TrafficCollision Warning) in “User
Settings” under “Driving Assist” on
the instrument cluster. The system
will turn on and standby to activate.
Select RCCW again, to turn the system off.
If the vehicle is turned off, the RCCW system will remember the
last settings upon restart.
The system operates when the vehicle speed is below 6 mph
(10km/h) with the shift lever in R
(Reverse).
The RCCW (Rear Cross-Traffic Collision Warning) detecting range
is 1.6 feet ~ 65 feet (0.5 m ~ 20 m)
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.

vehicle, the warning is cancelled.
The system may not operate prop- erly due to other factors or circum-
stances. Always pay attention to
your surroundings.

The Blind-Spot Collision-Avoidance
Assist System (BCA) detects the
front lane through the camera
installed on the upper front wind-
shield and detects the side/rear
areas through radar sensors.
The Blind-Spot Collision-Avoidance
Assist System may activate the
Electronic Stability Control (ESC) in
accordance with a colliding possibili-
ty with an approaching vehicle while
changing lanes. It is to lower the col-
liding risk or mitigate the colliding
damage.Operating Conditions
The system enters the ready status,
when the 'Active assist' or 'Warning
only' is selected and following condi-
tions are satisfied:
Select the "Active assist"The Blind-Spot Collision-
Avoidance Assist System will acti-
vate when
- Vehicle speed is between 60km/h and 180 km/h (37 mph ~
112 mph).
- The system detects both of the lane lines.
- An approaching vehicle is detect- ed next to/behind your vehicle.
Blind-Spot Collision-Avoidance

Assist System (BCA) is automatical-
ly deactivated when :
- The vehicle drives a certain dis-
tance away
- The vehicle direction is changed against the possible-colliding point
- The steering wheel is abruptly moved
- The brake pedal is depressed
- After a certain period of time
The driver should drive the vehicle in
the middle of the vehicle lanes to
keep the system in the ready status.
When the vehicle drives too close to
one side of the vehicle lanes, the
system may not properly operate.
In addition, the system may not prop-
erly control your vehicle in accor-
dance with driving situations. Thus,
always pay close attention to road
situations. Check Blind-Spot Collision-Avoidance
Assist (BCA) system
If there is a problem with the BCA
system, a warning message will

matically. BCW will still operate even
if the BCA system turns off due to
malfunction. We recommend that you
have your vehicle inspected by an
authorized Kia dealer to use BCA
system.Limitations of the system
