[A] : Warning sound
Second stage alert
A warning chime to alert the driver will activate when:
1. A vehicle has been detected in the blind spot area by the radar system AND.
2. The turn signal is applied (same side as where the vehicle is being detected).
When this alert is activated, the warning light on the outside rearview mirror and
the head up display (if equipped) will also blink. And a warning chime will sound.
If you turn off the turn signal indicator, the second stage alert will be deactivated.
Once the detected vehicle is no longer within the blind spot area, the warn-
ing will turn off according to the driving conditions of the vehicle.
WARNING
The warning light on the out- side rearview mirror will illu-
minate whenever a vehicle is
detected at the rear side by
the system.
To avoid accidents, do not
focus only on the warning
light and neglect to see the
surrounding of the vehicle.
Drive safely even though the vehicle is equipped with a
Blind-Spot Collision Warning
System (BCW). Do not solely
rely on the system but check
your surrounding before
changing lanes or backing the
vehicle up.
The system may not alert the driver in some conditions so
always check your surround-
ings while driving.

Driving your vehicle
Blind-Spot Collision-AvoidanceAssist (BCA) system
The Blind-Spot Collision-Avoidance
Assist System (BCA) may apply
braking power, when an approaching
vehicle is detected within a certain
distance next to/behind your vehicle. It gently applies braking power on the
tire, which is located in the opposite
side of the possibly-colliding point.
The instrument cluster will inform the
driver of the system activation.
Blind-Spot Collision-Avoidance Assist
System (BCA) is automatically deacti-
vated when:
- The vehicle drives a certain dis-
tance away
- The vehicle direction is changed against the possible-colliding point
- The steering wheel is abruptly moved
- The brake pedal is depressed
- After a certain period of time
The driver should drive the vehicle in
the middle of the vehicle lanes to
keep the system in the ready status.
When the vehicle drives too close to
one side of the vehicle lanes, the
system may not properly operate.
In addition, the system may not prop-
erly control your vehicle in accor-
dance with driving situations. Thus,
always pay close attention to road
situations.
CAUTION
The driver should always use extreme caution while operat-ing the vehicle, whether or notthe warning light on the out-side rearview mirror illumi-nates or there is a warningalarm.
Playing the vehicle audio sys- tem at high volume may offsetthe Blind-Spot CollisionWarning System warningsounds.
The warning of the Blind-Spot Collision Warning System maynot sound while other sys-tem's warning sounds.

Detecting Sensor (Camera and
Radar)Front camera
The front camera is a sensor detect-
ing the lane. If the sensor is covered
with snow, rain or foreign substance,
the system may temporarily be can-
celled and not work properly until the
cancellation due to the degradation
of the sensor's detection perform-
ance. Always keep the sensor clean.
* Refer to Lane Keeping Assist (LKA) System for cautions for the front
camera sensor.
Rear Corner Radars
The Rear Corner Radars are the
sensors inside the rear bumper for
detecting the side/rear areas. Always
keep the rear bumper clean for prop-
er operation of the system.
WARNING
The driver is responsible for accurate steering.
Do not unnecessarily operate the steering wheel, when the
Blind-Spot Collision-Avoidance
Assist System is in operation.
Always pay extreme caution while driving. The Blind-Spot
Collision-Avoidance Assist
System may not operate or
unnecessarily operate in
accordance with your driving
situations.
The Blind-Spot Collision- Avoidance Assist System is
not a substitute for safe driv-
ing practices, but a conven-
ience function only. It is the
responsibility of the driver to
always drive cautiously to
prevent unexpected and sud-
den situations from occur-
ring. Pay attention to the road
conditions at all times.

system disabled.
Radar blocked
This warning message may appearwhen :
- One or both of the sensors on therear bumper is blocked by dirt or
snow or a foreign object.
- Driving in rural areas where the sensor does not detect another
vehicle for an extended period of
time.
- When there is inclement weather such as heavy snow or rain.
CAUTION
The system may not work properly when the bumper hasbeen damaged, or if the rearbumper has been replaced orrepaired.
The sensing range differs some- what according to the width ofthe road. When the road is nar-row, the system may detectother vehicles in the next lane.
The system may turn off due to strong electromagnetic waves.
Always keep the sensors clean. NEVER arbitrarily disassem- ble the sensor component norapply any impact on the sen-sor component.
Be careful not to apply unnec- essary force on the radar sen-sor or sensor cover. If the sen-sor is forcibly moved out ofproper alignment, the systemmay not operate correctly. Inthis case, a warning messagemay not be displayed.
(Continued)
(Continued)Have the vehicle inspected byan authorized K900 Kia dealer.
Do not apply foreign objects such as a bumper sticker or abumper guard near the radarsensor or apply paint to thesensor area. Doing so mayadversely affect the perform-ance of the sensor.
NEVER install any acces- sories or stickers on the frontwindshield, nor tint the frontwindshield.
Pay extreme caution to keep the camera sensor out of water.
NEVER locate any reflective objects (i.e. white paper, mir-ror) over the crash pad. Anylight reflection may cause amalfunction of the system.

System setting and activation
System setting
The driver can activate the sys-
tems by placing the ignition switch
to the ON position and by selecting
'AVN →Settings →Vehicle →
Driving Assist → Blind-spot safety
→ Rear Cross-Traffic Safety'. The
RCCA and RCCW turn on and get
ready to be activated when 'Rear
Cross-Traffic safety' is selected.
When the engine is turned off then on again, the systems always get
ready to be activated.
When the system is initially turned on and when the engine is turned
off then on again, the warning light
will illuminate for 3 seconds on the
outside side view mirror.
The driver can select the initial warn-
ing activation time in the AVN by
selecting "AVN → Settings →Vehicle
→ Driver assistance → Warning tim-
ing". The options for the initial Rear
Cross-Traffic Collision Warning
includes the following: - Normal:
When this condition is selected, the
initial Rear Cross-Traffic Collision
Warning is activated normally. If this
setting feels too sensitive change the
option to 'late'.
The warning activation time may feel
late if the side/rear vehicle abruptly
accelerates.
- Later:
Select this warning activation time
when the traffic is light and you are
driving in a low speed. However, if
you change the warning activation
time, the warning activation time of
vehicle's other system may also
change. Check the warning activa-
tion time before changing it.
The driver can select the warning
volume of the Rear Cross-Traffic
Collision Warning by selecting "AVN
→
Settings →Vehicle →Driver
assistance →Warning volume →
High/Medium/Low". However, if you
change the warning volume, the
