KIA STONIC 2018 Owners Manual

-While driving on a curve, the FCA may
recognize the vehicle in front in the
next lane. Pay great caution, and, if necessary, depress the brake pedal.
Or, depress the accelerator pedal to
maintain the driving speed. Always,
take a look around the vehicle for
your safety.- Driving on a slope
The FCA performance decreases
while driving upward or downward on
a slope, not recognizing the vehicle in front in the same lane. It may unnec‐
essarily produce the warning mes‐
sage and the warning alarm, or it
may not produce the warning mes‐
sage and the warning alarm at all.
When the FCA suddenly recognizes the vehicle in front while passing over
a slope, you may experience sharp
deceleration.
Always keep your eyes forward while
driving upward or downward on a
slope, and, if necessary, depress the brake pedal.- Changing lanes
Even though the vehicle in the next
lane enters into your lane, it may not
be recognized by the FCA, until it en‐ ters the FCA sensing range.
Especially when the vehicle in the
next lane abruptly enters into your
lane, it is more likely not be recog‐
nized. Always pay great attention.
