sensor, refer to the “Lane Keeping
Assist (LKA)” in this chapter.Warning message and warning
light
If the sensor or sensor cover is cov-
ered by bad weather or foreign
objects, dust, etc., FCA operation
may temporarily stop. In this case,
the warning message appears to
warn the driver.
This is not a malfunction with FCA. To
operate FCA again, remove the for-
eign substances.
FCA may not properly operate when
the front radar is contaminated or an
object such as an open area is not
existed after engine start.
WARNING
FCA may not activate without
any warning messages accord-
ing to driving condition, traffic
on the road, weather, road con-
dition, etc.

System malfunction
When FCA is not working properly,
the FCA warning light ( ) will illu-
minate and the warning message
will appear for a few seconds. After
the message disappears, the mas-
ter warning light ( ) will illuminate.
In this case, have your vehicle
inspected by an authorized Kia
dealer.
The FCA warning message may
appear along with the illumination
of the ESC warning light.
WARNING
FCA is only a supplemental
system for the driver’s con-
venience. The driver has the
ultimate responsibility to con-
trol and operate the vehicle
safely. Do not solely depend
on FCA. Rather, maintain a
safe braking distance, and, if
necessary, depress the brake
pedal to lower the driving
speed.
In certain instances and
under certain driving condi-
tions, FCA may activate unin-
tentionally. This initial warning
message appears on the LCD
display with a warning chime.

Also, in certain instances the
front radar sensor or camera
recognition system may not
detect the vehicle, pedestrian
or cyclist ahead. FCA may not
activate and the warning mes-
sage will not be displayed.
FCA may unnecessarily pro-
duce the warning message
and the warning alarms. Also,
due to the sensing limitation,
FCA may not produce the
warning message and the
warning alarm at all.
When there is a malfunction
with FCA, the braking control
does not operate upon detect-
ing a collision risk even with
other braking systems nor-
mally operating.

When a pedestrian or cyclist sud-
denly interrupts in front of the vehi-
cle.
When there are many pedestrians
or cyclists.
When there is an object that
reflects radar well. (such as a
guardrail or a nearby vehicle)
✽ ✽
NOTICE
In some instances, FCA may be can-
celled when subjected to electro-
magnetic interference.
(Continued)
Never try to test the operation
of FCA. Doing so may cause
severe injury or death.
If the front bumper, front glass,
front view camera or front
radar have been replaced or
repaired, have your vehicle
inspected by an authorized Kia
dealer.
If the system detects an
object that has a similar
shape or characteristics of a
vehicle or a pedestrian, FCA
may operate.WARNING
Do not use Forward Collision
avoidance Assist when tow-
ing a vehicle. Application of
FCA while towing may
adversely affect the safety of
your vehicle or the towing
vehicle.
Use extreme caution when the
vehicle in front of you has
cargo that extends rearward
from the cab, or when the
vehicle in front of you has
higher ground clearance.
FCA is designed to detect and
monitor the vehicle ahead or
detect a pedestrian or cyclist
in the roadway through front
view camera recognition and
front radar signals. It may not
always detect bicycles, motor-
cycles, or smaller wheeled
objects such as luggage
bags, shopping carts, or
strollers.

Lane Keeping Assist detects 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 stray-
ing from its lane, it alerts the driver
with a visual and audible warning,
while applying a slight counter-steer-
ing torque, trying to prevent the vehi-
cle from moving out of its lane.
LKA helps prevent the driver from
moving out of the lane unintentional-
ly by assisting the driver’s steering. If
the driver intentionally drives on one
side of the driving lane, a continuous
steering force may occur.However, the system is just a con-
venience function and the steering
wheel is not always controlled.
While driving, the driver should pay
attention to the steering wheel.
✽ ✽
NOTICE
• The operation of LKA system can
be canceled or not work properly
depending on road condition and
surroundings. Always be cautious
when driving.
• Do not disassemble the front view
camera or attached any type of
coating or accessories to it. If you
disassemble the front view cam-
era, take your vehicle to an
authorized Kia dealer to check if
the system needs a calibration.
• When you replace the windshield
glass, front view camera or related
parts of the steering, take your
vehicle to an authorized Kia deal-
er to check if the system needs a
calibration.
LANE KEEPING ASSIST (LKA)
OYG059052
WARNING
Driver is responsible for being
aware of surroundings and
steering the vehicle safely.
Do not steer the steering
wheel suddenly when the
steering wheel is being assist-
ed by the system.

Driving your vehicle
The system detects lane markers
and controls the steering wheel by
a front view camera, therefore, if
the lane markers are hard to
detect, the system may not work
properly. 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 the front view cam-
era system.
Do not place objects on the crash
pad that reflect light such as mir-
rors, white paper, etc. it may cause
malfunction of LKA if sunlight is
reflected.
You may not hear warning sound of
LKA because of the excessive
audio sound.
If other beeps such as the seat belt
warning sound are in operation
and override LKA alarming, LKA
beeps may not occur. At high vehicle speeds, the steer-
ing torque needed for assistance
may not be sufficient to keep your
vehicle within the lane. If so, the
vehicle may move out of its lane.
Always obey the speed limit when
using LKA.
If you attach objects to the steering
wheel, the system may not assist
steering.
If you attach objects to the steering
wheel, hands off alarm may not
work properly.LKA operation
To activate/deactivate LKA :
With the ENGINE START/STOP but-
ton in the ON position, press the
Lane Safety button located on the
instrument panel on the lower left
hand side of the driver.
The indicator ( )in the cluster dis-
play will initially illuminate white.
When the indicator(white) was acti-
vated in the previous ignition cycle,
the system turns on without any con-
trol. If you press the Lane Safety but-
ton again, the indicator on the cluster
display will go off.

marker and system is
able to control the steer-
ing.System setting
The driver can change LKA to Lane
Departure Warning (LDW) or change
the LKA mode Selecting “Settings 
Vehicle Driver Assistance Lane
Safety Lane Keeping Assist/Lane
Departure Warning/Off ” in the
Infotainment System screen.
Lane Keeping Assist
LKA mode guides the driver to keep
the vehicle within the lanes. It rarely
controls the steering wheel, when
the vehicle drives well inside the
lanes. However, it starts to control
the steering wheel, when the vehicle
is about to deviate from the lanes.
Lane Departure Warning
LDW alerts the driver with a visual
and acoustic warning when the sys-
tem detects the vehicle leaving the
lane. In this mode, the steering wheel
will not be controlled. When the vehi-
cle’s front wheel contacts the inside
edge of lane line, the contacted line
will be displayed on the LCD display.
Off
If you select ‘Off’, it is the same with
pressing the Lane Safety ( ) but-
ton to release.

System description
Blind-Spot Collision Warning
Blind-Spot Collision Warning uses
radar sensors in the rear bumper to
monitor and warn the driver of an
approaching vehicle in the driver's
blind spot area.
1) Blind-Spot Area
It warns by detecting the vehicles in
the blind spots. The blind spot detec-
tion 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 feature will alert you when 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 audi-
ble alert.
Blind-Spot Collision-Avoidance
Assist
Blind-Spot Collision-Avoidance
Assist detects the front lane through
the camera installed on the upper
front windshield and detects the
side/rear areas through rear corner
radars.
BCA may activate the Electronic
Stability Control (ESC) in accor-
dance with a colliding possibility with
an approaching vehicle while chang-
ing lanes. It is to lower the colliding
risk or mitigate the colliding damage.
