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)
over the dashboard. Any light
reflection may cause a mal-func-
tion of Driver Attention Warning
(DAW) system.
- Use extreme caution to keep the camera sensor out of water.
- 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
- Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist (FCA) system
- Blind-Spot Collision- Avoidance Assist (BCA) sys-tem
- Lane Following Assist (LFA) system
- Smart Cruise Control (SCC) system
- Highway Driving Assist (HDA) system

(Continued)
Do not disassemble LFA sys-
tem camera temporarily to tint
the window or attach any
types of coatings and acces-
sories. If you disassemble the
camera and assemble it again,
we recommend that you take
your vehicle to an authorized
retailer of Kia products and
have the system checked for
calibration.
When you replace the wind- shield glass, LFA system cam-
era or related parts of the
steering wheel, take your
vehicle to an authorized retail-
er of Kia products and have
the system checked for cali-
bration.
The system helps detect lane markers and controls the
steering wheel by a camera,
therefore, if the lane markers
are hard to detect, the system
may not work properly.
(Continued)(Continued)Please refer to “Limitations of
the System”.
Do not remove or damage the related parts of LFA system.
You may not hear a warning sound of LFA system if the
audio volume is high.
Do not place objects on the dashboard that reflects light
such as mirrors, white paper,
etc. This may prevent LFA sys-
tem from functioning proper-
ly.
Always have your hands on the steering wheel while LFA
system is activated.
The steering wheel is not con- tinuously controlled so if the
vehicle speed is at a higher
rate when leaving a lane the
vehicle may not be controlled
by the system. The driver
must always follow the speed
limit when using the system.
(Continued)(Continued)
If you attach objects to thesteering wheel, the system
may not assist steering or the
hands off alarm may not work
properly.

Driving your vehicle
Adjust your mirrors to reduce theglare from other driver's head-
lights.
Keep your headlights clean and properly aimed. (On vehicles not
equipped with the automatic head-
light aiming feature.) Dirty or
improperly aimed headlights will
make it much more difficult to see
at night.
Avoid staring directly at the head- lights of oncoming vehicles. You
could be temporarily blinded, and it
will take several seconds for your
eyes to readjust to the darkness.Driving in the rain
Rain and wet roads can make driving
dangerous, especially if you’re not
prepared for the slick pavement.
Here are a few things to consider
when driving in the rain:
A heavy rainfall will make it harderto see and will increase the dis-
tance needed to stop your vehicle,
so slow down.
Keep your windshield wiping equipment in good shape. Replace
your windshield wiper blades when
they show signs of streaking or
missing areas on the windshield.
If your tires are not in good condi- tion, making a quick stop on wet
pavement can cause a skid and
possibly lead to an accident. Be
sure your tires are in good shape.
Turn on your headlights to make it easier for others to see you. Driving too fast through large pud-
dles can affect your brakes. If you
must go through puddles, try to
drive through them slowly.
If you believe you may have gotten your brakes wet, apply them lightly
while driving until normal braking
operation returns.
