Safety features of your vehicle
❈The actual air bags in the vehicle may differ
from the illustration.
Side air bags
Side air bags (side and/or curtain air
bags) are designed to inflate when an
impact is detected by side collision
sensors depending on the severity of
impact resulting from a side impact
collision. Also, the side and/or curtain air bags
are designed to inflate when a rollover
is detected by a rollover sensor.
Although the front air bags (driver’s
and front passenger’s air bags) are
designed to inflate in frontal colli-
sions, they also may inflate in other
types of collisions if the front impact
sensors detect a sufficient frontal
force in another type of impact. Side
and curtain air bags are designed to
inflate in certain side impact colli-
sions. They may inflate in other types
of collisions where a side force is
detected by the sensors. Side air bag
and/or curtain air bags may also
inflate where rollover sensors indi-
cate the possibility of a rollover
occurring (even if none actually
occurs) or in other situations, includ-
ing when the vehicle is tilted while
being towed.
Even where side and/or curtain air
bags would not provide impact pro-
tection in a rollover, however, they
will deploy to prevent ejection of
occupants, especially those who are
restrained with seat belts.
If the vehicle chassis is impacted by
bumps or objects on unimproved
roads or sidewalks, air bags may
deploy. Drive carefully on unim-
proved roads or on surfaces not
designed for vehicle traffic to prevent
unintended air bag deployment.

Air bag non-inflation conditions
In certain low-speed collisions the
air bags may not deploy. The air
bags are designed not to deploy in
such cases because they may not
provide benefits beyond the pro-
tection of the seat belts in such col-
lisions. Air bags are not designed to inflate
in rear collisions, because occu-
pants are moved backward by the
force of the impact. In this case,
inflated air bags would not be able
to provide any additional benefit. Front air bags may not inflate in
side impact collisions, because
occupants move to the direction of
the collision, and thus in side
impacts, front air bag deployment
would not provide additional occu-
pant protection.

Safety features of your vehicle
In a slant or angled collision, theforce of impact may direct the
occupants in a direction where the
air bags would not be able to pro-
vide any additional benefit, and
thus the sensors may not deploy
any air bags. Just before impact, drivers often
brake heavily. Such heavy braking
lowers the front portion of the vehi-
cle causing it to “ride” under a vehi-
cle with a higher ground clearance.
Air bags may not inflate in this
“under-ride” situation because
deceleration forces that are detect-
ed by sensors may be significantly
replaced by such “under-ride” colli-
sions. Front air bags may not inflate in
rollover accidents because front air
bag deployment would not provide
additional occupant protection.
However, side and curtain air bags
may inflate when the vehicle is
rolled over.

Driving your vehicle
The FCA system is designed to
detect and monitor a vehicle ahead
in the roadway through sensors (i.e.,
radar) to warn the driver that a colli-
sion is imminent and, if necessary,
apply emergency braking.
❈Radar type FCA system does not
operate to detect pedestrians in
front.System setting and activation
System setting
The driver can activate the FCA by
placing the ignition switch to the ON
position and by selecting 'User
Settings' →'Driver Assistance' →
'Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist
(FCA) system'.
The FCA deactivates when the driv-
er cancels the system setting.
FORWARD COLLISION-AVOIDANCE ASSIST (FCA) SYSTEM (RADAR TYPE) (IF EQUIPPED)
WARNING
-
Forward Collision-
Avoidance Assist (FCA)
Limitations
The FCA system is a supple-
mental system and is not a sub-
stitute for safe driving prac-
tices. It is the responsibility of
the driver to always check the
speed and distance to the vehi-
cle ahead to ensure it is safety
to use the FCA system.
WARNING
Take the following precautions
when using the Forward
Collision-Avoidance Assist
(FCA) system:
This system is only a supple- mental system and it is not
intended to, nor does it
replace the need for extreme
care and attention of the driv-
er. The sensing range and
objects detectable by the sen-
sors are limited. Pay attention
to the road conditions at all
times.
NEVER drive too fast in accor- dance with the road condi-
tions or while cornering.
Always drive cautiously to prevent unexpected and sud-
den situations from occur-
ring. FCA does not stop the
vehicle completely and does
not avoid collisions.

The warning light illumi-
nates on the LCD display,
when you cancel the FCA
system. It illuminates even
with the ESC (Electronic Stability
Control) OFF. The driver can monitor
the FCA ON/OFF status on the LCD
display. 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 earli-
er than normal. If the
“EARLY” warning seems
to be too sensitive,
change it to “NORMAL”.
selected, the initial
Forward Collision
Warning is activated
normally.
selected, the initial Forward
Collision Warning is activat-
ed later than normal. Select
this condition only when
traffic is light and you are
driving at low speed.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 StabilityControl) is activated.
- The driving speed is over 10 km/h (6 mph). (The FCA only works
within a certain range of vehicle
speeds)
- When the FCA recognizes a vehi- cle in front.
WARNING
The FCA may not recognize
every obstacle or provide warn-
ings and braking in every situa-
tion, so do not rely on the FCA
to stop the vehicle in instances
where the driver sees an obsta-
cle and has the ability to apply
the brakes.

Driving your vehicle
The FCA automatically activateswhen you turn the vehicle on.
The driver can deactivate the FCA
by canceling the system setting on
the LCD display.
The FCA automatically deactivates when canceling the ESC. When the
ESC is canceled, the FCA cannot
be activated on the LCD display. In
this case, the FCA warning light
will illuminate, but it does not indi-
cate a malfunction.
FCA warning message and
system control
The FCA produces warning mes-
sages, warning alarms, and emer-
gency braking based on the level of
risk of a frontal collision, such as
when a vehicle ahead suddenly
brakes.
Forward Warning (1st warning)
The warning message appears on
the LCD display with the warning.
WARNING
Set or cancel FCA with control-
ling switches on steering wheel
after stopping the vehicle in a
safe place.

Collision Warning (2nd warning)
The warning message appears on
the LCD display with the warning
chime.
The vehicle will reduce its speed to a certain limit.
- The brake activates gradually for
vehicles ahead.
- The brake control activates within
an arranged limit to ease the
impact from a collision.
Emergency braking (3rdwarning)
The warning message appears onthe LCD display with the warning
chime.
The vehicle will reduce its speed to a certain limit.
- The brake control activates withinan arranged limit to ease the
impact from a collision. Maximum
brake control is activated 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 accelerator
pedal, or when the driver abruptly
turns the steering wheel.
The braking control is automatical- ly canceled when risk factors dis-
appear.

CAUTION
The driver should always exer-cise caution when operatingthe vehicle, even though there isno warning message or warningalarm.
