Blind-Spot Collision Warning (BCW)*†7
The BCW system uses radar sensors to help alert the driver if it detects an
approaching vehicle in the driver’s blind spot before changing lanes. The light
on the BCW button A will illuminate when turned ON. The outside rearview
mirror warning lights will also illuminate for 3 seconds.
The system will become active when the vehicle is traveling more than
approximately 18 mph and will alert the driver if another vehicle is detected
by the radar sensor.
1st-stage alert: When another vehicle is detected within the BCW boundary B,
or when a vehicle is detected within the Lane Change Assist (LCA) boundary C,
a yellow indicator will illuminate on the outside rearview mirrors.
2nd-stage alert: When 1st-stage alert is on and the driver activates a turn signal,
a flashing yellow indicator will illuminate on the outside rearview mirrors and the
system will sound an alert.
Rear Cross-Traffic Collision Warning (RCCW)*†7
If the RCCW system sensors detect approaching vehicles from the left or right side D,
the system will sound an audible alert, the warning indicators on the outside rearview
mirror will illuminate, and a message will appear on the LCD screen, if the following
conditions are met:
•When Rotary Dial Shifter Knob is in Reverse
•When the vehicle is moving slower than 6 mph
•When the vehicle moves in reverse from a parked position
•If the approaching vehicle speed is between 2.5-22 mph within sensing range
REMINDERS:
•
The BCW system will not show a warning if the vehicle speed is 6 mph or more than the surrounding vehicles
•If the BCW is turned ON/OFF and the ignition is cycled, the BCW system returns to ON/OFF
•The RCCW feature can be turned OFF/ON in User Settings

Lane Keeping Assist Video
Lane Keeping Assist (LKA)*†7
Lane Keeping Assist (LK A) is designed to detect the lane markers on the road
with a front view camera on the windshield, and may assist the driver’s steering
to potentially help keep the vehicle in the lane. When turned on, the instrument
cluster indicator will initially illuminate white when turned on. It will remain white
when the vehicle is traveling slower than 40 mph or when the system does not
detect the lane markers. When the system detects the lane markers and can
assist the steering, the LK A icon will illuminate green.
If LK A detects that you are moving outside of your lane, the system may give an
audible warning and display a Lane Departure Warning on the instrument cluster.
If the vehicle continues to move outside of the lane, LK A may provide steering
inputs, trying to prevent the vehicle from moving outside its lane.
LK A is the operating mode by default when the Lane Safety button* A is depressed to ON.
There are three available modes:
•Active LK A – Provides more frequent steering inputs than standard LK A
•Lane Keeping Assist – Guides driver to keep vehicle within
lanes and provides steering inputs when vehicle is about to
deviate from the lane
•Lane Departure Warning – Alerts driver when the system
detects the vehicle leaving the lane. In this mode the system
will not provide steering inputs
All systems will operate under the following conditions:
•The vehicle speed exceeds approximately 40 mph
•The LK A system recognizes both sides of the lane
markers the vehicle is traveling in
•The vehicle is between the lane markers

COLLISION WARNING
EMERGENCY BRAKING
FCA is designed to detect and monitor a vehicle ahead or detect a pedestrian in the roadway through front
view camera recognition and front radar signals to warn the driver that a collision is imminent,
and if necessary, temporarily apply emergency braking. Initially, FCA provides Forward Collision Warning
(FCW ) when it detects a potential collision with a vehicle, pedestrian, or cyclist, emitting an audible
warning and visual alert on the instrument cluster A.
If the system detects that the collision risk has increased, Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist (FCA)
automatically applies the brakes to reduce your speed, potentially helping to reduce the effects of a
possible collision.
FCA User Settings:
• FCA is ON by default in most Kia models. FCA can be turned
ON/ OFF by going to the User Settings in the Instrument Cluster
• To go to User Settings , press the Mode button B on the Steering Wheel when the vehicle is at a
standstill, gear shift in Park and with the ignition on or the Engine Start /Stop button* in the ON position
• Press the OK button C up/down and select User Settings then Driver Assistance
– In some models, go to Driving Assist, then Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist or Forward Collision
Warning and press the OK button C
– In other models, go to Forward Safety and select Active Assist, Warning Only or Off
• Active Assist: Vehicle will provide a warning (audible & visual) and apply the brakes if needed
• Warning Only: Vehicle will provide a warning only (audible & visual)
• Off: System is off, no warnings or braking provided
• To adjust the FCA initial warning activation time, go to User Settings , Driver Assistance, Warning
Timing then select Normal, Early or Late, depending on your Kia model:
–
Early/Normal: Maximizes the amount of distance between the vehicles before the initial warning occurs
– Late: Reduces the amount of distance between the vehicles before the initial warning occurs
FCA/FCW will become active when the:
• Ignition is on or the Engine Start /Stop button* is ON
• Vehicle is traveling faster than 5 mph
• Electronic Stability Control (ESC) is ON
