Blind-Spot Collision-Avoidance
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.

It gently applies braking power on the
tire which is located in the opposite
side of the possibly-colliding point.
The instrument cluster will inform the
driver of the system activation.
Blind-Spot Collision-Avoidance Assist
(BCA) system is automatically deacti-
vated when:
- The vehicle drives a certain dis-
tance away
- The vehicle direction is changed against the possible-colliding point
- The steering wheel is abruptly moved
- The brake pedal is depressed
- After a certain period of time
The driver should drive the vehicle in
the middle of the vehicle lanes to
keep the system in the ready status.
When the vehicle drives too close to
one side of the vehicle lanes, the
system may not properly operate.
In addition, the system may not prop-
erly control your vehicle in accor-
dance with driving situations. Thus,
always pay close attention to road
situations.Detecting Sensor (Front View Camera / Rear Corner Radars)
WARNING
The driver is responsible for accurate steering.
Do not unnecessarily operate the steering wheel when Blind-
Spot Collision-Avoidance
Assist (BCA) system is in oper-
ation.
Always pay extreme caution while driving. Blind-Spot
Collision-Avoidance Assist
(BCA) system may not oper-
ate or unnecessarily operate
in accordance with your driv-
ing situations.
Blind-Spot Collision- Avoidance Assist (BCA) sys-
tem is not a substitute for safe
driving practices, but a con-
venience function only. It is
the responsibility of the driver
to always drive cautiously to
prevent unexpected and sud-
den situations from occur-
ring. Pay attention to the road
conditions at all times.

Driving your vehicle
Front Camera
The Front Camera is a sensor
detecting the lane. If the sensor is
covered with snow, rain or foreign
substance, the system may tem-
porarily be cancelled and not work
properly until the cancellation due to
the degradation of the sensor's
detection performance. Always keep
the sensor clean.
* Refer to Lane Keeping Assist (LKA)system for cautions for the front
camera sensor.
Rear Corner Radars
The Rear Corner Radars are the
sensors inside the rear bumper for
detecting the side/rear areas. Always
keep the rear bumper clean for prop-
er operation of the system.CAUTION
The system may not work properly when the bumper hasbeen damaged, or if the rearbumper has been replaced orrepaired.
The sensing range differs some- what according to the width ofthe road. When the road is nar-row, the system may detectother vehicles in the next lane.
On the other hand, when the road is wide, the system maynot detect vehicles on bothlanes and may not warn.
The system may turn off if inter- fered by electromagnetic waves.
Always keep the sensors clean. NEVER arbitrarily disassem- ble the sensor component norapply any impact on the sen-sor component.
(Continued)
(Continued) Be careful not to apply unnec- essary force on the radar sen-sor or sensor cover. If the sen-sor is forcibly moved out ofproper alignment, the systemmay not operate correctly. Ifthis occurs, a warning mes-sage may not be displayed.Have the vehicle inspected byan authorized K900 Kia dealer.
Do not apply foreign objects such as a bumper sticker or abumper guard near the radarsensor or apply paint to thesensor area. Doing so mayadversely affect the perform-ance of the sensor.
NEVER install any acces- sories or stickers on the frontwindshield, nor tint the frontwindshield.

Blind-Spot Collision Warning (BCW)
system disabled.
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
Assistance →Blind-Spot Safety
→ Rear Cross-Traffic Collision
Warning” (if equipped)
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
malfunction. We recommend that you
have your vehicle inspected by an
authorized K900 Kia dealer to use
BCA system.
