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 Stability
Control) is activated.
- The driving speed is over 6 mph. (The FCA only works within a cer-
tain range of vehicle speeds)
- When the FCA recognizes a vehi- cle or the pedestrian in front. (The
FCA may not recognize every
obstacle or provide warnings and
braking in every situation, so do
not rely on the FCA to stop the
vehicle in instances where the driv-
er sees an obstacle and has the
ability to apply the brakes) The FCA automatically activates
upon placing the ignition switch to
the ON position. The driver can
deactivate the FCA by canceling the
system setting on the LCD display.
The FCA automatically deactivates upon canceled, the ESC. When the
ESC is cancelind, the FCA cannot
be activated on the LCD display.
In this situation, the FCA warning
light will illuminate.
FCA warning message and
system control
The FCA system produces warning
messages, warning alarms, and
emergency braking based on the level
of risk of a frontal collision, such as
when a vehicle ahead suddenly
brakes, or when the system detects
that a collision with a pedestrian is
imminent.
WARNING
Set or cancel FCA with control-
ling switches on steering wheel
after stopping the vehicle in the
safe place for your safety.
Do not attempt to set or cancel
the FCA while your vehicle is
moving.

✽ ✽
NOTICE
The FCA system assesses the risk of
a collision by monitoring several
variables such as the distance to the
vehicle/pedestrian ahead, the speed
of the vehicle/pedestrian ahead, and
the driver's operation of the vehicle.
Certain conditions such as
inclement weather and road condi-
tions may affect the operation of the
FCA system.
FCA front radar
In order for the FCA system to oper-
ate properly, always make sure the
sensor or sensor cover is clean and
free of dirt, snow, and debris. Dirt,
snow, or foreign substances on the
lens may adversely affect the sens-
ing performance of the sensor.
✽ ✽NOTICE
• Do not install any accessories, such
as a license plate bracket or
bumper sticker near the sensor
area. Do not replace the bumper
by yourself. Doing so may adverse-
ly affect the sensing performance.
• Always keep the sensor/bumper area clean.
• Use only a soft cloth to wash the vehicle. Also, do not spray highly
pressurized water on the sensor
installed on the bumper.
• Be careful not to apply unneces- sary force on the frontal sensor
area. When the sensor moves out
of the correct position due to
external force, the system may not
operate correctly and may not
provide a warning light or mes-
sage. In this case, we recommend
you have the vehicle inspected by
an authorized Kia dealer.
• Use only the genuine Kia sensor cover. Do not arbitrarily apply
paint on the sensor cover. (Continued)WARNING
The FCA is a supplemental sys-
tem and cannot completely stop
the vehicle in all situations or
avoid all collisions. It is the
responsibility of the driver to
safely drive and control the
vehicle.

(Continued)
• Do not tint the window or installstickers or accessories around the
inside mirror where the camera is
installed.
• Make sure the frontal camera installation point does not get wet.
• Do not impact or remove any radar/camera components.
• Do not place reflective objects(white paper or mirror etc.)
on the dashboard. The system may
activate unnecessarily due to
reflect of the sunlight.
• Excessive audio system volume may prevent occupants from
hearins the FCA.Warning message and warning
light
When the sensor is covered or the
sensor lens is dirty with foreign sub-
stances, such as snow or rain, the
FCA system may not be able to
detect vehicles or pedestrians. In this
case, a warning message
(“Forward Collision Avoidance Assist
(FCA) system disabled. Radar
blocked”) will appear to notify the
driver. Remove the foreign sub-
stances to allow the FCA system to
function. Remove any dirt, snow, or debris and
clean the radar sensor cover before
operating the FCA system.
The FCA may not properly operate in
an area (e.g. open terrain), where
any substances are not detected
after turning ON the engine.

System malfunction
When the FCA is not working prop-
erly, the FCA warning light ( )
will illuminate and the warning
message will appear for a few sec-
onds. After the message disap-
pears, the master warning light
( ) will illuminate. In this case,
have the vehicle inspected by an
authorized Kia dealer.
The FCA warning message may appear along with the illumination
of the ESC warning light. Due to sensing limitation, the FCA
may not produce warning mes-
sages or warning alarms in certain
situations. Read the section
“Limitation of the system” for more
information.
When there is a malfunction with the FCA, the automatic braking
control does not operate even with
other braking systems normally
operating.
The FCA only in front of it while driving forward. It does not identify
any animals or vehicles in the
opposite direction.
The FCA can not recognize cross- traffic or parked vehicles present-
ing a sideprofile.
The FCA system may not activate if the driver applies the brake pedal
to avoid the risk of a collision.
The FCA system does not operate when the vehicle is in reverse. In
these cases, you must maintain a
safe braking distance, and if nec-
essary, depress the brake pedal to
reduce the driving speed.
OYG058235N
WARNING
The FCA is only a supplemental
system for the driver’s conven-
ience.
It is the driver's responsibility to
control the vehicle. Do not sole-
ly depend on the FCA system.
Rather, maintain a safe braking
distance, and, if necessary,
depress the brake pedal to
lower the driving speed.

- If a sudden change in the sensor
recognition takes place while driv-
ing over a speed bump,
- When the vehicle is severely shaken,
- When driving around a circular intersection with a vehicle or object
in front
- If the front of the camera lens is contaminated by front glass tinting,
film, water repellent coating, dam-
age on glass or foreign matter
(sticker, insect, etc.)
- The radar or camera or camera lens is damaged.
- If the headlights of the vehicle are not used at night or in a tunnel sec-
tion, or the light is too weak
- If street light or the light of the vehi- cle coming from the opposite direc-
tion is reflected or when sunlight is
reflected by water on the road sur-
face - When the back light is projected in
the direction of the vehicle's motion
(including the headlights of vehi-
cles)
- Road sign, shadow on the road, tunnel entrance, toll gate, partial
pavement
- Driving on a curve
The FCA performance maybe limited
while driving on a curve. The FCA
may not recognize the vehicle in front
even if in the same lane. It may pro-
duce the warning message and the
warning alarm prematurely, or it may
not produce the warning message or
the warning alarm at all. When driv-
ing on a curve, exercise caution,
maintain a safe braking distance,
and if necessary, depress the brake
pedal to reduce your driving speed in
order to maintain a safe distance.

The cruise control system allows you
to program the vehicle to maintain a
constant speed without depressing
the accelerator pedal.
This system is designed to function
above approximately 20 mph (30
km/h).
If the cruise control is left on,
(CRUISE indicator light in the instru-
ment cluster illuminated) the cruise
control can be switched on acciden-
tally. Keep the cruise control system
off (CRUISE indicator light OFF)
when the cruise control is not in use,
to avoid inadvertently setting a speed.Use the cruise control system only
when traveling on open highways in
good weather.
Do not use the cruise control when
driving in heavy or varying traffic, or
on slippery (rainy, icy or snow-cov-
ered) or winding roads or over 6%
up-hill or down-hill roads.
✽ ✽
NOTICE
• During normal cruise control oper-
ation, when the SET switch is acti-
vated or reactivated after applying
