Assist (BCA) system may apply brak-
ing power when an approaching
vehicle is detected within a certain
distance next to/behind your 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
(BCW) system. 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.
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 offsetBlind-Spot Collision Warning(BCW) system warningsounds.
If any other warning sound such as seat belt warningchime is already generated,the Blind-Spot CollisionWarning (BCW) system warn-ing may not sound.

Radar blocked
This warning message may appear
when :
- One or both of the sensors on therear bumper is blocked by dirt or
snow or a foreign object.
- When a trailer or carrier is installed.
- 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.
If any of these conditions occur, the
light on BCW/BCA switch and the
system will turn off automatically.
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

If you use BCW, BCA and RCCW
system, remove a trailer or carrier.
When BCW system canceled warn-
ing message is displayed in the clus-
ter, 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.(Continued) 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.

Driving your vehicle
After any dirt or debris is removed,
BCA system should operate normal-
ly after about 10 minutes of driving
the vehicle.
If the system still does not operate
normally have your vehicle inspected
by an authorized K900 Kia dealer.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 automat-
ically. BCA will not operate also if
BCW system turns off due to mal-
function. We recommend that you
have your vehicle inspected by an
authorized K900 Kia dealer.Check Blind-Spot Collision-Avoidance
Assist (BCA) system
If there is a problem with BCA sys-
tem, a warning message will appear.
The system will turn off automatical-
ly. BCW system will still operate even
if the BCA system turns off due to

NOTICE
Driver Attention Warning (DAW)
system utilizes the camera sensor on
the front windshield for its opera-
tion. To keep the camera sensor in
the best condition, you should
observe the followings:
- Do not disassemble the camera
when installing tint on the windows
or applying any type of coatings or
accessories. If you disassemble or
reassemble the camera, take your
vehicle to an authorized K900 Kia
dealer and have the system
checked.
- Do not locate any reflective objects (i.e. white paper, mirror)

- Do not disassemble the camera assembly, nor apply any impact on
the camera assembly.
• Playing the vehicle audio system at high volume may offset the
Driver Attention Warning system
warning sounds.CAUTION
Driver Attention Warning (DAW)
system may not properly oper-ate with limited alerting in thefollowing situations:
The lane detection perform- ance is limited. (For moreinformation, refer to "LaneKeeping Assist (LKA) system"in this chapter.)
The vehicle is violently driven or is abruptly turned for obsta-cle avoidance (e.g. construc-tion area, other vehicles, fallenobjects, bumpy road).
Forward drivability of the vehi- cle is severely undermined(possibly due to wide varia-tion in tire pressures, uneventire wear-out, toe-in/toe-outalignment).
The vehicle drives on a curvy road.
The vehicle drives on a bumpy road.
(Continued)
(Continued) The vehicle drives through a windy area.
The vehicle is controlled by the following driving assistsystems:
- Lane Keeping Assist (LKA) system

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.

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).
