WARNING
FCA is only a supplementalsystem for the driver's con-
venience. The driver should
hold the responsibility to con-
trol the vehicle operation. Do
not solely depend on FCA
system. Rather, maintain a
safe braking distance, and, if
necessary, depress the brake
pedal to reduce the driving
speed.
In certain instances and under certain driving condi-
tions, FCA system may acti-
vate unintentionally. This ini-
tial 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 system
may not activate and the
warning message may not be
displayed.

WARNING
FCA System may not activate
according to the road condi-
tions, inclement weather, driv-
ing conditions or traffic condi-
tions.

Driving your vehicle
The vehicle in front is an oversizevehicle 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.
The outside brightness changes suddenly, for example when enter-
ing or exiting a tunnel.
When light coming from a street light or an oncoming vehicle is
reflected on a wet road surface
such as a puddle in the road.
The field of view in front is obstructed by sun glare or head
light of oncoming vehicle.
The windshield glass is fogged up; a clear view of the road is obstructed.
The vehicle in front is driving erratically. The vehicle is on unpaved or
uneven rough surfaces, or road
with sudden gradient changes.
The vehicle is driven near areas containing metal substances as a
construction zone, railroad, etc.
The vehicle drives inside a build- ing, such as a basement parking
lot.
The camera does not recognize the entire vehicle in front.
The camera is damaged.
The brightness outside is too low such as when the headlamps are
not on at night or the vehicle is
going through a tunnel.
A shadow is on the road by a medi- an strip, trees, etc.
The vehicle drives through a toll- gate.
The rear part of the vehicle in front is not normally visible. (the vehicle
turns in other direction or the vehi-
cle is overturned.).
Adverse road conditions cause excessive vehicle vibrations while
driving. The sensor recognition changes
suddenly when passing over a
speed bump.
The vehicle in front is moving verti- cally to the driving direction.
The vehicle in front is stopped ver- tically.
The vehicle in front is driving towards your vehicle or reversing.
You are on a roundabout and the vehicle in front circles.

When driving in stop-and-go traffic,
and a stopped vehicle in front of you
merges out of the lane, FCA system
may not immediately detect the new
vehicle that is now in front of you. In
this situation, you must maintain a
safe braking distance, and if neces-
sary, depress the brake pedal to
reduce your driving speed in order to
maintain a safe distance. - Detecting the vehicle in front of you
If 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, addi-
tional special attention is required.
FCA system may not be able to
detect the cargo extending from the
vehicle. In these instances, you must
maintain a safe braking distance
from the rearmost object, and if nec-
essary, depress the brake pedal to
reduce your driving speed in order to
maintain a safe distance.
Recognizing pedestrians or
cyclists
The sensor may be limited when:
The pedestrian or cyclist is not fully
detected by the camera recogni-
tion system, for example, if the
pedestrian is leaning over or is not
fully walking upright
The pedestrian or cyclist is moving very quickly or appears abruptly in
the camera detection area
The pedestrian or cyclist is wear- ing clothing that easily blends into
the background, making it difficult
to be detected by the camera
recognition system
The outside lighting is too bright (e.g. when driving in bright sunlight
or in sun glare) or too dark (e.g.
when driving on a dark rural road
at night)
It is difficult to detect and distin- guish the pedestrian or cyclist from
other objects in the surroundings,
for example, when there is a group
of pedestrians, cyclists or a large
crowd

Forward Collision-AvoidanceAssist (FCA) system system
when towing a vehicle.
Application of FCA system
while towing may adversely
affect the safety of your vehi-
cle 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 system is designed to detect and monitor the vehicle
ahead or detect a pedestrian or
cyclist in the roadway through
radar signals and camera
recognition. It is not designed
to detect bicycles, motorcy-
cles, or smaller wheeled
objects such as luggage bags,
shopping carts, or strollers.

Do not disassemble the front
view camera for window tint-
ing or installing any forms of
coatings or accessories.
If you disassemble and
reassemble the camera, take
your vehicle to an authorized
K900 Kia dealer and have the
system checked to see if a
calibration is needed.
When you replace the wind- shield glass, front view cam-
era or related parts of the
steering, take your vehicle to
an authorized K900 Kia dealer
and have the system checked
to see if a calibration is need-
ed.
The system is designed to detect lane markers using a
front view camera. If the lane
markers are hard to detect,
then the system may be limit-
ed. Always be cautious when
using the system.
(Continued)(Continued)
When the lane markers arehard to detect, please refer to
“Driver’s Attention”.
Do not remove or damage the related parts of LKA system.
Do not place objects on the dashboard that reflect light
such as mirrors, white paper,
etc. It may cause malfunction
of LKA system if the sunlight
is reflected.
You may not hear the warning sound of LKA system because
of excessive audio sound.
When other beeps such as the seat belt warning sound are in
operation and override LKA
alarming system, LKA beeps
may not occur.
At high vehicle speeds, the steering torque assistance
may not be enough to keep
your vehicle within the lane,
and the vehicle may move out
of its lane. Obey all speed lim-
its when using LKA system.

When the conditions below are met,
LKA system will be enable to assist
steering.
Vehicle speed is above 40 mph (64km/h).
Both lane markers are detected by LKA system.
The vehicle is between the lane markers.
If LKA system can assist steering, a
green LKA system indicator will illu-
minate.
If the vehicle moves out its lane
because steering torque for assis-
tance is not enough, the line indica-
tor of deviation direction will blink
and the warning sound or steering
wheel vibration warning is provided.
If the driver takes hands off the steer-
ing wheel for several seconds while
LKA is activated, the system will
warn the driver.
WARNING
The warning message may bedelayed according to road
conditions. Therefore, always
have your hands on the steer-
ing wheel while driving.
If you hold the steering wheel too lightly, the system could
generate the hands off warn-
ing because LKA system may
think you are not grabbing the
wheel.
