System description
Rear Cross-Traffic CollisionWarning (RCCW) system
Rear Cross-Traffic Collision Warning
(RCCW) system uses radar sensors
to monitor the approaching cross
traffic from the left and right side of
the vehicle when your vehicle is in
reverse.
The blind spot detection range varies
relative to the approaching vehicle
speed.
Rear Cross-Traffic Collision-Avoidance Assist (RCCA) system
Rear Cross-Traffic Collision-
Avoidance Assist (RCCA) system
monitors approaching cross traffic
from the left and right side of the
vehicle when your vehicle is
approaching.
Rear Cross-Traffic Collision-
Avoidance Assist (RCCA) system
may activate the Electronic Stability
Control (ESC) in accordance with a
colliding possibility with an

Warning (RCCW) system is activat-
ed normally. If this setting feels too
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
vehicle's other system may also
change. Check the warning activa-
tion time before changing it.
The driver can select the warning vol-
ume of the Rear Cross-Traffic
Collision Warning (RCCW) system by
selecting “AVN

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.
