Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist (FCA)†9 / Forward Collision Warning (FCW)†9
The FCA is designed to help alert the driver and, under certain conditions if necessary, apply emergency braking when rapidly approaching a vehicle
that is slowing down, braking or stopped . Initially, the Forward Collision Warning (FCW ) will provide a warning when it detects a potential collision with a
vehicle in front and emits an audible warning and visual alert on the instrument cluster . Adjust the alert settings (Early, Normal, Late) in the User Settings .
To turn the FCA /FCW off, go to User Settings again and turn off .
If the system detects that the collision risk increases, the Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist (FCA)
automatically applies the brakes to reduce your speed, helping to minimize the effects of a possible
collision . FCA can be turned ON in the User Settings menu on the Instrument Cluster display .
The FCA /FCW will become active when the:
• Engine Start /Stop button is ON
• Vehicle is traveling faster than 5 mph
• Electronic Stability Control (ESC) is ON
The Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist (FCA)* / Forward Collision Warning (FCW)* are not substitutes for safe and proper driving. Always drive safely and use caution. FCA and FCW may not always alert the driver when the vehicle is approaching another vehicle.REMINDERS:
• The FCA will be activated by default when vehicle power is cycled on, even when previously set to off
• The FCW will not operate when the vehicle is traveling faster than approximately 50 mph
• If the FCA is operating and the ESC (Electronic Stability Control) is turned off, the FCA system is automatically turned off .
• When FCA system is off, the FCA warning indicator is on in the Instrument Cluster

Dual Clutch Transmission*
Some Kia vehicles are equipped with Dual Clutch
Transmission (DCT ) for automatic transmissions .
The following are unique driving tips of the Dual Clutch
Transmission:
• To hold the vehicle stationary on an incline, the service
brake or parking brake MUST be used or the gear shift
MUST be in the (P) Park position . If the vehicle is held
stationary by applying the accelerator pedal on a slope, the
clutch/transmission may overheat, resulting in damage
• Avoid aggressive launches on steep grades as this may
result in an overheated clutch and transmission
• A slight time lag may be experienced at takeoff from stand
still during aggressive acceleration maneuvers
If the clutch is overheating an amber warning light will
be displayed in the instrument cluster . Should this condition
occur, pull over and place the vehicle in Park and idle
the engine.
Refer to the Owner’s Manual for additional information on DCT operation or call Kia Consumer Affairs for additional information.
