Using a cellular phone or a two-way radio
When a cellular phone is used inside
the vehicle, noise may be produced
from the audio system. This does not
mean that something is wrong with
the audio equipment. In such a case,
try to operate mobile devices as far
from the audio equipment as possible.
When using a communication sys-
tem such as a cellular phone or a
radio set inside the vehicle, a sepa-
rate external antenna must be fitted.
When a cellular phone or a radio set
is used with an internal antenna
alone, it may interfere with the vehi-
cle's electrical system and adversely
affect safe operation of the vehicle.
WARNING- Cell phone use
Do not use a cellular phone
while driving. Stop at a safe
location to use a cellular phone.
WARNING- Distracted driving
Driving while distracted can
result in a loss of vehicle control
that may lead to an accident,
severe personal injury, and death.
The driver's primary responsibili-
ty is in the safe and legal opera-
tion of a vehicle, and use of any
handheld devices, other equip-
ment, or vehicle systems which
take the driver's eyes, attention
and focus away from the safe
operation of a vehicle or which
are not permissible by law should
never be used during operation
of the vehicle.

Detecting sensor (front view
camera)
It is a sensor that decide the risk of a
collision by detecting the distance to
vehicles ahead or pedestrians.
In bad weather conditions such as
heavy rain, heavy snow, and fog, or
when the front camera is covered by
foreign material, dust, tec., the front
view camera will be degraded and
the system will be temporarily dis-
abled.
Always keep the front view camera
sensor clean.
WARNING
FCA system cannot avoid all
collisions. FCA system might
not completely stop the vehicle
before a collision, due to ambi-
ent, weather and road condi-
tions. The driver has the
responsibility to drive safely
and control the vehicle.
WARNING
FCA system operates in accor-
dance with certain risk factors,
such as the distance from the
vehicle/pedestrians in front, the
speed of the vehicle/pedestri-
ans in front, and the driver's
vehicle operation.
CAUTION
The driver should always pay
great caution to vehicle opera-tion, even though there is nowarning message or warningalarm.
If any other warning sound such as seat belt warningchime is already generated,Forward Collision-AvoidanceAssist system warning maynot sound.
Excessive audio volume may disturb the sound of the sys-tem warning alarm.

sensing performance.
• Always keep the sensor/bumper area clean.
• Use only soft cloths to wash the vehicle. Also, do not spray highly-
pressurized water on the sensor
installed on the bumper.
• Be careful not to apply unneces- sary force on the frontal sensor
area. When the sensor moves out
of the correct position due to
external force, the system may not
normally operate even without the
warning light or message. In this
case, have your vehicle inspected
by an authorized Kia dealer.

The system detects lane
markers and controls the
steering wheel by a front view
camera, therefore, if the lane
markers are hard to detect,
the system may not work
properly. Always be cautious
when using the system.
When the lane markers are hard to detect, please refer to
“DRIVER’S ATTENTION”.
Do not remove or damage the related parts of the front view
camera system.
Do not place objects on the crash pad that reflect light
such as mirrors, white paper,
etc. it may cause malfunction
of LKA system if sunlight is
reflected.
(Continued)(Continued)
You may not hear warningsound of LKA system because
of the excessive audio sound.
If other beeps such as the seat belt warning sound are in
operation and override LKA
alarming system, LKA beeps
may not occur.
At high vehicle speeds, the steering torque needed for
assistance may not be suffi-
cient to keep your vehicle
within the lane. If so, the vehi-
cle may move out of its lane.
Always obey the speed limit
when using LKA system.
(Continued)(Continued)
If you attach objects to thesteering wheel, the system
may not assist steering.
If you attach objects to the steering wheel, hands off
