Low Battery Warning – When the high-voltage
battery level reaches 8% or less, this warning
message appears on the LCD and the warning
indicator light on the instrument cluster
illuminates. Charge the high-voltage battery
immediately.
Power limited due to low EV battery
temperature. Charge battery – When the outside
temperature is low and you turn the vehicle on
or off, this warning message may appear on the
LCD. If the battery level is low and the vehicle is
parked outside for a long time, vehicle power may
be limited. Charging battery before driving helps
increase power.
Stop vehicle and check power supply – When
there is a failure in the power supply system, this
warning message appears on the LCD. Park
the vehicle in a safe location and have it towed to
the nearest Kia dealer for inspection.
EV Battery Overheated! Stop Vehicle – When
the high-voltage battery temperature is too high,
this warning message will appear on the LCD.
Stop the vehicle and turn off the Power button so
that the battery temperature decreases.
Charge immediately. Power limited – When
the high-voltage battery level reaches 3% or
less, this warning message appears on the LCD,
the warning indicator light on the instrument
cluster illuminates and the power down warning
light turns ON simultaneously.
The vehicle’s power will be reduced to minimize
the energy consumption of the high-voltage
battery. Charge the high-voltage battery
immediately.
Power limited – This warning message appears
when the vehicle’s power is limited due to the
following reasons:
•When the high-voltage battery is below a
certain level, or voltage is decreasing
•When the temperature of the motor or high-
voltage battery is too high or too low
•When there is a problem with the cooling system
or a failure that may interrupt normal driving
Charge Warning Messages on LCD Display
REMINDERS:
•
When these warning messages are displayed, do not accelerate or start the vehicle suddenly
•

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

Leading Vehicle Departure Alert is designed to inform the driver when the vehicle in front starts
moving or departs from a stop. When LVDA is on, your vehicle is stopped and detects that the
leading vehicle is driving away, LVDA sounds an alert to let you know you can start driving. If
no action is taken after the vehicle in front drives away, then a message A will appear on the
Instrument Cluster LCD.

does NOT activate when the ESC has malfunctioned.
REMINDERS:
•
The HAC system does not operate when the Rotary Dial Shifter Knob is in the P (Park) or the N (Neutral) position
•In the event of an HAC system malfunction, see an Authorized Kia Dealer for service
•
•When HAC is active (e.g., accelerating from a stop on an incline), you may notice that the brakes will momentarily remain engaged after you depress the accelerator. This is normal HAC operation
•HAC provides a two-second delay before the vehicle may start rolling backward
