Driving your vehicle
Lane Keeping Assist (LKA) system is
designed to detect the lane markers
on the road with a front view camera
at the front windshield, and assists
the driver's steering to help keep the
vehicle in the lanes.When the system detects the vehicle
straying from its lane, it alerts the
driver with a visual and audible warn-
ing, while applying a slight counter-
steering torque, trying to prevent the
vehicle from moving out of its lane.

NOTICE
Driver is responsible for being
aware of surroundings and steering
the vehicle, and safe driving prac-
tices.

Do not disassemble the front view
camera temporarily for tinted win-
dows or attaching any types of
coatings and accessories. If you
disassemble the camera and
assemble it again, take your vehi-
cle to an authorized Kia dealer and
have the system checked.
When you replace the windshield
glass, front view camera or sys-
tem, take your vehicle to an author-
ized Kia dealer and have the sys-
tem checked.
The system is designed to detect
lane markers using a front view
camera. If the lane markers are
hard to detect, then the system
may be limited. Always be cautious
when using the system.
When the lane markers are hard to
detect, please refer to “Driver’s
Attention”.
Do not remove or damage the
related parts of LKA system.
Do not place objects on the dash-
board that reflect light such as mir-
rors, white paper, etc. This may
prevent the system from function-
ing. You may not hear warning sound of
LKA system because of excessive
audio sound.
If you drive with your hands off the
steering wheel, LKA system will
stop controlling the steering wheel
after the hands off alarm.
Afterwards, if you drive with your
hands on the steering wheel, the
control will be activated again.✽ ✽

NOTICE
• If the vehicle speed is high, steer-
ing torque for assistance will not
be enough to keep your vehicle
within the lane. If so, the vehicle
may move out of its lane. Obey
speed limit when using LKA sys-
tem.
• If you attach objects to the steer-
ing wheel, the system may not
assist steering.
• If you attach objects to the steer-
ing wheel, hands off alarm may
not work properly.

Driving your vehicle
If the vehicle moves out its lane
because steering torque for assis-
tance is not enough, the line indi-
cator will blink.
If all the conditions to activate LKA
system are not satisfied, the sys-
tem will convert to Lane Departure
Warning (LDW) system and only
warn the driver when the driver
crosses the lane lines. In this sce-
nario, LDW system does not pro-
vide any steering inputs into the
vehicle for you. Accordingly, you
must take the necessary steps to
maintain control of the vehicle and
keep it within the lanes.
If the driver takes hands off the steer-
ing wheel for several seconds while
LKA is activated, the system will
warn the driver.✽ ✽

NOTICE
• Always keep your hands on the
steering wheel while driving.
• If you hold the steering wheel with
a light grip, the system may also
generate the hands off warning.
If the driver still does not have their
hands on the steering wheel after
several seconds, the system will only
warn the driver when the driver
crosses the lane lines. In this sce-
nario, the system does not provide
any steering inputs into the vehicle
for you. Accordingly, you must take
the necessary steps to maintain con-
trol of the vehicle and keep it within
the lanes.
However, if the driver has their hands
on the steering wheel again, the sys-
tem will again provide steering inputs
if it detects the vehicle leaving the
lane.

Lane Departure
LDW alerts the driver with a visual
and acoustic warning when the sys-
tem detects the vehicle leaving the
lane. In this mode, the system will not
provide steering inputs. When the
vehicle’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 provides inputs to the steer-
ing when the vehicle is about to devi-
ate from the lanes.
Active LKA
The active inputs to LKA mode pro-
vides more frequent steering in com-
parison with the Standard LKA
mode.

System description
Blind-Spot Collision Warning
(BCW)
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
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
BCW will alert you when it
detects a vehicle 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.
