Brake operation
In an urgent situation, the braking
system enters into the ready status
for prompt reaction to assist the driv-
er in depressing the brake pedal.
FCA provides additional braking
power for optimum braking per-
formance, when the driver
depresses the brake pedal.
The braking control is automatical-
ly deactivated, when the driver
sharply depresses the accelerator
pedal, or when the driver abruptly
operates the steering wheel.
The braking control is automatical-
ly canceled, when risk factors dis-
appear.WARNING
FCA cannot avoid all collisions.
FCA might not completely stop
the vehicle before a collision,
due to ambient, weather and
road conditions. The driver has
the responsibility to drive safely
and control the vehicle.
WARNING
FCA operates in accordance
with the risk levels, such as the
distance from the vehicle in
front, the speed of the vehicle in
front, and the driver's vehicle
operation. For the system to
activate, do not attempt risky
driving.
CAUTION
The driver should always pay
great caution to vehicle opera-
tion, even though there is no
warning message or warning
alarm.
If any other warning sound
such as seat belt warning
chime is already generated,
Forward Collision-Avoidance
Assist warning may not
sound.
Excessive audio volume may
disturb the sound of the sys-
tem warning alarm.

Detecting sensors (front view
camera/front radar)
The sensors are that detecting the
distance to vehicles ahead, pedestri-
an or cyclist.In bad weather conditions such as
heavy rain, heavy snow, and fog, or
when sensor is covered by foreign
material, dust, tec., the sensors will
be degraded and the system will be
temporarily disabled.
Always keep the sensor clean.
✽ ✽
NOTICE
• Do not install any accessories,
such as license plate molding or
sticker, on the sensor area. Nor
arbitrarily replace the bumper.
Those may adversely affect the
sensing performance.
• Always keep the sensor/bumper
area clean.
• Use only soft cloths 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
normally operate even without the
warning light or message. In this
case, have your vehicle inspected
by an authorized Kia dealer.
• Use only the genuine Kia sensor
cover. Do not arbitrarily apply
paint on the sensor cover.

• Do not tint the window or install
stickers, 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 arbitrarily
remove any radar/camera compo-
nents.
• Do not place reflective
objects(white paper or mirror etc.)
on the crash pad.
The system may activate unneces-
sarily due to reflect of the sunlight.
• Excessive audio volume may dis-
turb the sound of the system warn-
ing alarm.
• For more cautions for the camera
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.
(Continued)
OJF058394L
(Continued)
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.
(Continued)

553
Driving your vehicle
(Continued)
FCA operates only for the
vehicle/pedestrian in front,
while driving forward. It does
not operate for any animals or
vehicles in the opposite direc-
tion.
FCA does not recognize the
vehicle, which transversally
drives across the crossroad,
or the vehicle, which is parked
in the transversal direction.
If the vehicle in front stops
suddenly, you may have less
control of the brake system.
Therefore, always keep safe
distance between your vehicle
and the vehicle in front of you.
FCA may activate during brak-
ing and the vehicle may stop
suddenly. And the load in the
vehicle may endanger passen-
gers. Therefore, always be
mindful of the load volume in
the vehicle.
(Continued)(Continued)
FCA may not activate if the
driver applies the brake pedal
to avoid risk of collision.
FCA does not operate when
the vehicle is in reverse. In
these circumstances, you
must maintain a safe braking
distance, and if necessary,
depress the brake pedal to
reduce the driving speed in
order to maintain a safe dis
tance.
The regular braking function
will operate normally even if
There is a problem with the
FCA brake control system or
other functions. In this case,
the braking control will not
operate in an imminent colli-
sion.
(Continued)(Continued)
FCA may not activate accord-
ing to driving condition, traffic
on the road, weather, road
condition, etc.
FCA may not activate in
response to all types of vehi-
cles.

Limitation of the system
FCA is an assistant system for a driv-
er in a certain risky driving condition
and it does not take every responsi-
bility for all risks from driving condi-
tion.
FCA monitors the driving situations
through the radar and the camera
sensor. Thus, for a situation out of
the sensing range, FCA may not nor-
mally operate. The driver should pay
great caution in the following situa-
tions. FCA operation may be limited.
Recognizing vehicles
The sensor may be limited when:
The front view camera or front
radar sensor is blocked with a for-
eign object or debris
The camera lens is contaminated
due to tinted, filmed or coated
windshield, damaged glass, or
stuck of foreign matter (sticker,
bug, etc.) on the glass
Inclement weather such as heavy
rain or snow obscures the field of
view of the radar sensor or camera
There is interference by electro-
magnetic waves
There is severe irregular reflection
from the radar sensor
The front view camera/front radar
sensor recognition is limited
The vehicle in front is too small to
be detected (for example a motor-
cycle etc.)
The vehicle in front is an oversize
vehicle or trailer that is too big to
be detected by the camera recog-
nition system (for example a tractor
trailer, etc.) The camera's field of view is not
well illuminated (either too dark or
too much reflection or too much
backlight that obscures the field of
view)
The vehicle in front does not have
their rear lights or their rear lights
does not turned ON or their rear
lights are located unusually.

view of the front view camera such
as backlight, reflected light, and
darkness.
When the front view camera is
blocked by continuous washer
spray and wiper operation.
The vehicle in front is a special
purpose vehicle, a trailer, or a truck
loading with unusual shape of lug-
gage.
The ambient light is too high or low.
The front view camera is contami-
nated by front glass tinting, attach-
ing film, water proof coating, dam-
aged, foreign material such as a
sticker, worm, etc.
When the front view camera
(including lens) or front radar is
damaged. If not using headlamp or using

- Driving on a curve
The performance of Forward
Collision-Avoidance Assist may be
limited when driving on a curved
road.
The front view camera or front radar
sensor recognition system may not
detect the vehicle, pedestrian or
cyclist traveling in front on a curved
road.
This may result in no alarm and brak-
ing when necessary.
Always pay attention to road and
driving conditions, and if necessary,
depress the brake pedal to reduce
your driving speed in order to main-
tain a safe distance.

Driving your vehicle
Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist
may recognize a vehicle or pedestri-
an or cyclist in the next lane or out-
side the lane when driving on a
curved road.
If this occurs, the system may unnec-
essarily alarm the driver and apply
the brake. Always pay attention to
road and driving conditions, while
driving.- Driving on a slope
The performance of Forward
Collision-Avoidance Assist may be
decreased while driving upward or
downward on a slope. The front view
camera or front radar sensor recog-
nition may not detect the vehicle,
pedestrian or cyclist in front.
This may result in unnecessary
alarm and braking or no alarm and
braking when necessary.
When the system suddenly recog-
nizes the vehicle, pedestrian or
cyclist 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 to reduce your driving
speed in order to maintain distance.
