lines.
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.

✽ ✽
NOTICE
• Even though the steering is assist-
ed by the system, the driver may
control the steering.
• The steering wheel may feel heav- ier when the steering wheel is
assisted by the system than when it
is not.
The system will be canceled when:
You change lanes with the turn sig-
nal.
- Using the turn signal to changelanes.
- If you change lanes without the turn signal on, the steering wheel
might be controlled.
LKA can transition to steering assist mode when the car is near
the middle of the lane after the sys-
tem is turned on or the lane was
changed. LKA can not assist steer-
ing if the vehicle follows lane mark-
er too close continuously before
transition to steering assist mode.
The control of ESC (Electronic Stability Control) or VSM (Vehicle
Stability Management) is activated.
The steering will not be assisted when you drive fast on a sharp
curve.
WARNING
The LKA system is a supple-mental system only. It is the
responsibility of the driver to
safely steer the vehicle and to
maintain it in its lane.
Even though the steering is assisted by the system, the
driver may control the steer-
ing wheel.
Turn off the LKA system and drive without using the sys-
tem in the following situa-
tions:
- In bad weather
- In bad road conditions
- When the steering wheelneeds to be controlled by the
driver frequently.
- When towing a vehicle or trailer.
The steering wheel may feel heavier when the steering
wheel is assisted by the sys-
tem than when it is not.

• The lane marker is very thick or thin. (Continued)(Continued)
• The lane marker is not visible due
to snow, rain, stain, a puddle or
other factors.
• A shadow is on the lane marker because of a median strip,
guardrail, noise barriers and etc.
• When the lane markers are com- plicated or a structure substitutes
for the lines such as in a construc-
tion area.
• There are crosswalk signs or other symbols on the road.
• The lane suddenly disappears such as in a construction.

the roadway.
• Light from the street, sun, oncom- ing vehicles, etc. reflects from
water on the road.
• When light shines brightly in the reverse direction you drive.
• Road surface is not even.
• The distance from the vehicle ahead is very short or the vehicle
ahead is covering the lane line or
road edge.
• You drive on a steep grade or a sharp curve.
• The vehicle vibrates heavily.
• The temperature near the inside mirror is very high due to direct
sun light and etc.
  When front visibility is poor
• The lens or windshield is covered by strange materials.
• The sensor cannot detect the lane because of fog, heavy rain or snow.
• The windshield is fogged by humid air in the vehicle.
• Putting something on the crash pad and etc.LKA system malfunction
If there is a problem with the sys-
tem a message will appear. If the
problem continues the LKA system
fail indicator will illuminate.
WARNING
The Lane Keeping Assist
System is a system to help pre-
vent the driver from leaving the
lane. However, the driver should
not solely rely on the system
and always take necessary
actions to ensure safe driving
practices are followed.

Driving your vehicle
LKA system fail indicator
The LKA system fail indicator (yel-
low) will illuminate if the LKA system
is not working properly. If this occurs,
have the system checked by an
authorized K900 Kia dealer.
LKA system function change
The driver can change LKA to Lane
Departure Warning (LDW) or change
the LKA mode from the AVN.
Lane Keeping Assist
The LKA mode guides the driver to
keep the vehicle within the lanes. It
rarely controls the steering wheel
when the vehicle drives well inside
the lanes. However, it starts to con-
trol the steering wheel when the
vehicle is about to deviate from the
lanes.
Lane Departure Warning
LDW alerts the driver with a visual
and acoustic warning when the sys-
tem detects the vehicle leaving the
lane. In this mode, the system will not
provide steering inputs. When the
vehicle’s front wheel contacts the
inside edge of lane line, LKA issues
the lane departure warning.

System description
Blind-Spot Collision Warning (BCW)
Blind-Spot Collision Warning (BCW)
system uses radar sensors in the
rear bumper to monitor and warn the
driver of an approaching vehicle in
the driver's blind spot area.
1) Blind-Spot Area
The blind spot detection range varies
relative to vehicle speed.
Note that if your vehicle is traveling
much faster than the vehicles around
you, the warning will not occur. 2) Closing at high speed
BCW system feature will alert you
when a vehicle is approaching in an
adjacent lane at a high rate of speed.
If the driver activates the turn signal
when the system detects an oncom-
ing vehicle, the system sounds an
audible alert.
Blind-Spot Collision-Avoidance
Assist (BCA)
Blind-Spot Collision-Avoidance
Assist (BCA) system detects the
front lane through the camera
installed on the upper front wind-
shield and detects the side/rear
areas through radar sensors.
BCA system may activate the
Electronic Stability Control (ESC) in
accordance with a colliding possibili-
ty with an approaching vehicle while
changing lanes. It is to lower the col-
liding risk or mitigate the colliding
damage.
