cornering maneuvers . It is a good idea to keep the ESC turned ON for
daily driving whenever possible .

REMINDERS:

ESC is active by default at vehicle startup . When ignition is cycled, ESC will turn ON again

The ESC Indicator Light in the instrument cluster will be lit momentarily whenever the ESC is active
For more information on Electronic Stability Control (ESC) and its specific features and operation, please refer to your Owner’s Manual.For illustrative purposes only. Your actual display, buttons and/or features may vary.
Hill-Start Assist Control (HAC)†7
HAC can help to prevent the vehicle from rolling backwards when
accelerating from a stop while on a steep incline .
The HAC automatically activates whether the ESC is OFF or ON but
does NOT activate when the ESC has malfunctioned .
REMINDERS:

The HAC does not operate when the gear shift is in the P (Park) or the N (Neutral) position
•HAC does not replace the need to apply brakes while the vehicle is stopped on an incline
•In the event of HAC system malfunction, see an authorized Kia dealer for service
• When HAC is active (e .g ., during initial acceleration from a stop on an incline), you may notice that the brakes will momentarily remain engaged after you depress the accelerator – this is normal HAC operation
• HAC provides a 2-second delay before the vehicle may start rolling backwards

Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist (FCA)*†6
The FCA system is designed to detect slowing or stopped traffic ahead and, under certain conditions, can apply the brakes
in order to help avoid or reduce the effects of a potential collision . Initially, FCA provides Forward Collision Warning (FCW )
when it detects a potential collision with a vehicle in front, emitting an audible warning and visual alert on the instrument
cluster A .
Adjust the alert settings (Early, Normal, Late) in the User Settings . FCA is ON by default
and can be turned OFF in the User Settings menu on the Instrument Cluster display .
If the system detects that the collision risk has increased, FCA automatically applies
the brakes to reduce your speed, potentially helping to avoid or reduce the effects of a
possible collision .
The FCA /FCW systems will become active when the:
• Engine Start /Stop button is ON
• Vehicle is traveling faster than 5 mph
• Electronic Stability Control (ESC) is ON
REMINDERS:
•The FCA /FCW systems will be activated by default when the ignition is cycled ON, even when previous set to OFF

If FCA /FCW is operating and the ESC (Electronic Stability Control) is turned off, the systems are automatically turned off
•When the FCA /FCW systems are off, the FCA /FCW systems warning indicator is on in the instrument cluster
The Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist (FCA) / Forward Collision Warning (FCW) systems are not substitutes for safe driving and may not detect all objects in front of the vehicle. Always drive safely and use caution.
For illustrative purposes only. Your actual display, buttons and/or features may vary.
