FORWARD COLLISION-AVOIDANCE ASSIST (FCA) SYSTEM (IF EQUIPPED)
The FCA system is to reduce or to avoid
accident risk. It recognizes the distance
from the vehicle ahead or the pedes‐ trian through the sensors (i.e. radar
and camera), and, if necessary, warns
the driver of accident risk with the warning message or the warning
alarms.
WARNING
Take the following precautions whenusing the Forward Collision-Avoid‐ance Assist (FCA) System:•This system is only a supplemen‐tal system and it is not intendedto, nor does it replace the need forextreme care and attention of thedriver. The sensing range and ob‐jects detectable by the sensors arelimited. Pay attention to the roadconditions at all times.
•NEVER drive too fast in accordancewith the road conditions or whilecornering.
(Continued)
(Continued)
•Always drive cautiously to preventunexpected and sudden situationsfrom occurring. FCA does not stopthe vehicle completely and doesnot avoid collisions.
System setting and activation
System setting
The driver can activate the FCA by plac‐
ing the ignition switch to the ON posi‐
tion and by selecting 'User Settings', 'Driving Assist', and 'Forward Collision-
Avoidance Assist (FCA)'. The FCA deac‐
tivates, when the driver cancels the system setting.
The warning light illuminates on the LCD display, when youcancel the FCA system.
The driver can monitor the FCAON/OFF status on the LCD display.
When the warning light remains ON
with the FCA activated, have the sys‐tem checked by a professional work‐
shop. Kia recommends to visit an au‐
thorized Kia dealer/service partner. The driver can select the initial warning
activation time in the User Settings and Driving Assist in the instrument cluster
LCD display. The options for the initial
Forward Collision Warning include the following:
• EARLY - When this condition is se‐
lected, the initial Forward
Collision Warning is activa‐ted earlier than normal.This setting maximizesthe amount of distance
between the vehicle or
pedestrian ahead beforethe initial warning occurs.
• NORMAL - When this condition is se‐
lected, the initial Forward
Collision Warning is activa‐ted normally. This settingallows for a nominalamount of distance be‐
tween the vehicle or pe‐
destrian ahead before theinitial warning occurs.
• LATE - When this condition is se‐ lected, the initial Forward
Collision Warning is activa‐ted later than normal.
This setting reduces theamount of distance be‐

tween the vehicle or pe‐
destrian ahead before theinitial warning occurs.
Prerequisite for activation
The FCA gets ready to be activated,
when the FCA is selected on the LCD display, and when the following prereq‐
uisites are satisfied.
- The ESC is activated.
- The driving speed is over 10km/h.
(However, FCA is activated within cer‐ tain driving speed.)
- When recognizing the vehicle or the
pedestrian in front. (However, FCA
does not activate according to condi‐
tions in front and vehicle systems,
but it notices only certain warnings.)
WARNING
•The FCA automatically activatesupon placing the ignition switch tothe ON position. The driver can de‐activate the FCA by canceling thesystem setting on the LCD display.
(Continued)
(Continued)
•The FCA automatically deactivatesupon cancelling the ESC, even withthe FCA system ON, and the driverwill not be able to activate the FCAon the LCD display.
•Set or cancel FCA with controllingswitches on steering wheel afterstopping the vehicle in the safeplace for your safety.
FCA warning message and
system control
The FCA produces warning messages
and warning alarms in accordance with the collision risk levels of followings like
vehicle’s sudden braking in front or lack
of vehicle to vehicle distance or collision to pedestrians. Also, it controls the
brakes in accordance with the collision
risk levels.
Forward warning (1st warning)
The warning message appears on the
LCD display with the warning alarms.

Collision warning (2nd warning)
• The warning message appears on theLCD display with a warning alarm.
• 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 im‐
pact from a collision.
Emergency braking (3rd warning)
• The warning message appears on the LCD display with a warning alarm.
• The vehicle will reduce its speed to a certain limit.
- The brake control activates within an arranged limit to ease the im‐
pact from a collision. Maximum
brake control is activated just be‐
fore the collision.
Brake operation
• In an urgent situation, the braking system enters into the ready status
for prompt reaction against the driv‐ er’s depressing the brake pedal. • The FCA provides additional braking
power for optimum braking perform‐
ance, when the driver depresses the
brake pedal.
• The braking control is automatically deactivated, when the driver sharplydepresses the brake pedal, or when
the driver abruptly operates the
steering wheel.
• The braking control is automatically canceled, when risk factors disappear.
CAUTION
The driver should always pay greatcaution to vehicle operation, eventhough there is no warning messageor warning alarm.
WARNING
The FCA cannot avoid all collisions.The FCA might not completely stopthe vehicle before collision, due toambient, weather and road condi‐tions. The driver has the responsibili‐ty to drive safely and control the ve‐hicle.

NOTICE
•Do not install any accessories,
such as license plate molding or
sticker, on the sensor area. Nor ar‐
bitrarily replace the bumper.
Those may adversely affect the
sensing performance.
•Always keep the sensor/bumper
area clean.
•Use only soft clothes to wash the
vehicle. Also, do not spray highly-
pressurized water on the sensor
installed on the bumper.
•Be careful not to apply unnecessa‐
ry force on the frontal sensor
area. When the sensor moves out
of the correct position due to ex‐
ternal force, the system may not
normally operate even without the
warning light or message. In this
case, have the vehicle inspected by
a professional workshop. Kia rec‐
ommends to visit an authorized
Kia dealer/service partner.
(Continued)
(Continued)
•Use only the genuine Kia sensor
cover. Do not arbitrarily apply
paint on the sensor cover.
System malfunction
0:#-
• When the FCA is not working proper‐ly, the FCA warning light () will illu‐
minate and the warning message will
appear for a few seconds.
After the message disappears, the
master warning light (
) will illumi‐
nate. In this case, have the vehicle in‐
spected by a professional workshop.
Kia recommends to visit an author‐
ized Kia dealer/service partner. • The FCA warning message may ap‐
pear along with the illumination of
the ESC warning light.
WARNING
•The FCA is only a supplementalsystem for the driver’s conven‐ience. The driver should hold theresponsibility to control the vehicleoperation. Do not solely depend onthe FCA system. Rather, maintaina safe braking distance, and, ifnecessary, depress the brake ped‐al to lower the driving speed.
•The FCA may unnecessarily pro‐duce the warning message and thewarning alarms. Also, due to thesensing limitation, the FCA maynot produce the warning messageand the warning alarm at all.
•When there is a malfunction withthe FCA, the braking control doesnot operate upon detecting a colli‐sion risk even with other brakingsystems normally operating.

•The FCA operates only for the ve‐hicle / pedestrian in front, whiledriving forward. It does not oper‐ate for any animals or vehicles inthe opposite direction.
•The FCA does not recognize thevehicle, which horizontally drivesacross the crossroad, or the vehi‐cle, which is parked in the horizon‐tal direction.
Limitation of the system
The FCA is an assistant system for a
driver in a certain risky driving condition
and it does not take every responsibili‐ ty for all risks from driving condition.
The FCA monitors the driving situations
through the radar and the camera sen‐
sor. Thus, for a situation out of the sensing range, the FCA may not nor‐
mally operate. The driver should pay
great caution in the following situa‐ tions. The FCA operation may be limi‐
ted.
Recognizing vehicles
- The radar or the camera is contami‐
nated with foreign substances.
- It heavily rains or snows. -
There is interruption by electric
waves.
- There is severe irregular reflection
from the radar.
- The vehicle in front has a narrow
body. (i.e. motor cycle and bicycle)
- The driver’s view is unclear due to
the backlight, the reflected light, or
darkness.
- The camera cannot contain the full
image of the vehicle in front.
- The vehicle in front is a special vehi‐
cle, such as a heavily-loaded truck or
a trailer.
The vehicle in front does not turn ON
the rear lights, does not have rear
lights, has asymmetric rear lights, or
has rear lights out of angle.
- The outside brightness is greatly
changed, such as entering/exiting the tunnel.
- The vehicle driving is unstable.
- The radar/camera sensor recognition
is limited.
- Driving on unpaved and uneven road
surfaces, or through sudden gradient changes. -
In construction zones or on railroad
tracks, or there are metallic objects
on the road.
- Driving indoors such as in an under‐
ground parking lot.
- Driving on a curve
The FCA performance decreases
while driving on a curve. The FCA may
not recognize the vehicle in front even 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.
While driving on a curve, pay great caution, and, if necessary, depress
the brake pedal.
