Your vehicle may be equipped with
the ISG system, which reduces fuel
consumption by automatically shut-
ting down the engine, when the vehi-
cle is at a standstill. (For example :
red light, stop sign and traffic jam)
The engine starts automatically as
soon as the starting conditions are
met.
The ISG system is ON whenever the
engine is running.
✽ ✽
NOTICE
When the engine automatically
starts by the ISG system, some
warning lights (ABS, ESC, ESC
OFF, EPS or Parking brake warn-
ing light) may turn on for a few sec-
onds.
This happens because of low battery
voltage. It does not mean the system
has malfunctioned.
Auto stop
To stop the engine in idle stop
mode
Stop the vehicle completely by
pressing the brake pedal when the
shift lever is in the D (Drive) or N
(Neutral) position.
The engine will stop and the green
AUTO STOP( ) indicator on the
instrument cluster will illuminate.
✽ ✽ NOTICE
If you open the engine hood in auto
stop mode, the following will hap-
pen:
• The ISG system will deactivate
(the light on the ISG OFF button
will illuminate).
• A message will appear on the LCD display. (Continued)

Do not disassemble LFA sys-
tem camera temporarily to tint
the window or attach any
types of coatings and acces-
sories. If you disassemble the
camera and assemble it again,
we recommend that you take
your vehicle to an authorized
retailer of Kia products and
have the system checked for
calibration.
When you replace the wind- shield glass, LFA system cam-
era or related parts of the
steering wheel, take your
vehicle to an authorized retail-
er of Kia products and have
the system checked for cali-
bration.
The system helps detect lane markers and controls the
steering wheel by a camera,
therefore, if the lane markers
are hard to detect, the system
may not work properly.
(Continued)(Continued)Please refer to “Limitations of
the System”.
Do not remove or damage the related parts of LFA system.
You may not hear a warning sound of LFA system if the
audio volume is high.
Do not place objects on the dashboard that reflects light
such as mirrors, white paper,
etc. This may prevent LFA sys-
tem from functioning proper-
ly.
Always have your hands on the steering wheel while LFA
system is activated.
The steering wheel is not con- tinuously controlled so if the
vehicle speed is at a higher
rate when leaving a lane the
vehicle may not be controlled
by the system. The driver
must always follow the speed
limit when using the system.
(Continued)(Continued)
If you attach objects to thesteering wheel, the system
may not assist steering or the
hands off alarm may not work
properly.

LFA system operation
With the ignition [ON], select or
release the setting from “AVN →
Setup → Vehicle →Driver
Assistance →Driving Assist → LFA
(Lane Following Assist)”.
Select the LFA system in the AVN
and meet the following conditions,
the system will operate.
- The Smart Cruise Control is oper- ating
- Vehicle speed is lower than 95 mph (153 km/h)
When the system is activated, the
indicator ( ) on the cluster will illu-
minate. The color of the indicator will
change depending on the condition
of the LFA system.
- Green : Steering assist mode is
ON
- White : Steering assist mode is
OFF
LFA system activation
If the vehicle is inside the lane with
both lanes detected by the system
(lane color changes from gray to
white), and there is no abrupt steer-
ing made by the driver, LFA system
changes to steering assist mode.
The indicator light will come on
green, and the system helps the
vehicle stay in line by controlling the
steering wheel.
When the steering wheel is not con-
trolled temporarily, the indicator light
will flash green and changes to
white.
LFA system ensures the vehicle
stays in its lane. LFA system does
not guarantee 100% safety. Make
sure you make decisions on the road
after checking the road conditions
and safety matters while driving.
Never completely rely on your LFA
system.
Warning
Keep hands on steering wheel
If the driver takes their hands off the
steering wheel for several seconds
while LFA system is activated, the
system will warn the driver.
✽ ✽
NOTICE
Hold the steering wheel tight.
Otherwise, LFA system could mis-
judge that the driver's hands are off
the steering wheel, and the above
warning may occur.

Steering control
If both lanes are recognized properly
(lane color: white), the steering
wheel indicator ( ) lights up in
green and then the steering control
is initiated. When the system cannot provide
temporary steering inputs, the indi-
cator flashes green and then
changes to white. Even when HDA
system cannot provide temporary
steering inputs, it still controls the
distance from other vehicles.
(For information on non-operating
conditions of steering wheel control,
please refer to “Limitations of LFA
system” on page 5-140.)
Warning related to steering
wheel
The hands-off warning appears

sensitive change the option to ‘Later’.
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

If any of these conditions occur, the
light on the BCW switch and the sys-
tem will turn off automatically.
When the BCW canceled warning
message is displayed in the cluster,
check to make sure that the rear
bumper is free from any dirt or snow
in the areas where the sensor is
located. Remove any dirt, snow, or
foreign material that could interfere
with the radar sensors.
After any dirt or debris is removed,
RCCA system should operate nor-
mally after about 10 minutes of driv-
ing the vehicle.
If the system still does not operate
normally, have your vehicle inspect-
ed by an authorized K900 Kia dealer. Turn off the BCW, BCA and RCCW
system (if equipped) when a trailer or
carrier is installed.
- Press the BCW/BCA button (the
indicator on the button extinguish)
- Deactivate the RCCW system by deselecting
“AVN →Setup →Vehicle →Driver
Assistance →Blind-Spot Safety →
Rear Cross-Traffic Collision
Warning” (if equipped)
If you use BCW, BCA and RCCW
system, remove a trailer or carrier. Check Blind-Spot Collision Warning
(BCW) system
If there is a problem with BCW sys-
tem, a warning message will appear
and the light on the switch will turn off.
The system will turn off automatically.
RCCW and RCCA system will not
operate also if BCW system turns off
due to malfunction. We recommend
that you have your vehicle inspected
by an authorized K900 Kia dealer.

WARNING - Engine off
during motion
Never turn the engine off to
coast down hills or anytime the
vehicle is in motion. The power
steering and power brakes will
not function properly without the
engine running. In addition, turn-
ing off the ignition while driving
could lead to out of working
power driven steering wheel and
hard to control steering wheel.
Keep the engine on and down-
shift to an appropriate gear for
an engine braking effect.
Remember, your vehicle does not require extended warm-up. After
the engine has started, allow the
engine to run for 10 to 20 seconds
prior to placing the vehicle in gear.
In very cold weather, however, give
your engine a slightly longer warm-
up period.
Don't "lug" or "over-rev" the engine. Lugging is driving too slowly in a
very high gear resulting in engine
bucking. If this happens, shift to a
lower gear. Over-revving is racing
the engine beyond its safe limit.
This can be avoided by shifting at
the recommended speed. Use your air conditioning sparingly.
The air conditioning system is
operated by engine power so your
fuel economy is reduced when you
use it.
Open windows at high speeds can reduce fuel economy.
Fuel economy is decreases in crosswinds and headwinds. To help
offset some of this loss, slow down
when driving in these conditions.
Keeping a vehicle in good operating
condition is important both for econ-
omy and safety. Therefore, have an
authorized K900 Kia dealer perform
scheduled inspections and mainte-
nance.
