EQUIPPED) (IF EQUIPPED)
The FCA system is designed to
detect and monitor a vehicle ahead
or detect a pedestrian in the roadway
through radar signals and camera
recognition to warn the driver that a
collision is imminent, and if neces-
sary, apply emergency braking.System setting and activation
System setting
The driver can activate the FCA by
placing the ignition switch to the ON
position and by selecting 'User
Settings', 'Driver Assistance', and
'forward collision-avoidance assist'.
The FCA deactivates, when the driv-
er cancels the system setting.
FORWARD COLLISION-AVOIDANCE ASSIST (FCA) (SMART CRUISE CONTROL SYSTEM
WARNING
Take the following precautions
with respect to the forward col-
lision-avoidance assist (FCA)
system:
This system is only a supple-
mental system and it is not
intended to, nor does it replace
the need for extreme care and
attention of the driver. The
sensing range and objects
detectable by the sensors are
limited. Pay attention to the
road conditions at all times.
NEVER drive too fast in accor- dance with the road condi-
tions or while cornering.
Always drive cautiously to prevent unexpected and sud-
den situations from occur-
ring. FCA does not stop the
vehicle completely and does
not avoid collisions.
WARNING- Forward
Collision-Avoidance assist
(FCA) Limitations
The FCA system is a supplemen-
tal system and is not a substitute
for safe driving practices.
It is the responsibility of the driv-
er to always check the speed and
distance to the vehicle ahead
and to be prepared to apply the
brakes.

✽ ✽
NOTICE
The FCA system assesses the risk of
a collision by monitoring several
variables such as the distance to the
vehicle/pedestrian ahead, the speed
of the vehicle/pedestrian ahead, and
the driver's operation of the vehicle.
Certain conditions such as
inclement weather and road condi-
tions may affect the operation of the
FCA system.
For the system operation, do not
attempt risky driving.
FCA front radar/Camera sensor
In order for the FCA system to oper-
ate properly, always make sure the
sensor or sensor cover is clean and
free of dirt, snow, and debris. Dirt,
snow, or foreign substances on the
sensor or its external parts may
adversely affect the sensing perform-
ance of the sensor.
WARNING
The FCA cannot avoid all colli-
sions. The FCA might not com-
pletely stop the vehicle before
collision, due to ambient,
weather and road conditions.
The driver has the responsibili-
ty to drive safely and control the
vehicle.
WARNING
The FCA is a supplemental sys-
tem and cannot completely stop
the vehicle in all situations or
avoid all collisions. It is the
responsibility of the driver to
safely drive and control the
vehicle.
WARNING
Never deliberately drive danger-
ously to activate the system as
such conduct increases the risk
of an accident.

Remove any dirt, snow, or debris and
clean the radar sensor cover before
operating the FCA system.
The FCA may not properly operate in
an area (e.g. open terrain), where
any substances are not detected
after turning ON the engine.System malfunction
When the FCA is not working prop-
erly, the FCA warning light ( ) will
illuminate and the warning mes-
sage will appear for a few seconds.
After the message disappears, the
master warning light ( ) will illu-
minate. In this case, take your vehi-
cle to an authorized Kia dealer and
have the system checked.
The FCA system will get deactivat- ed for the sake of driver's safety
when the ESC warning light comes
on. The FCA warning message will
appear at the same time, too. But
that doesn't necessarily mean the
malfunction of the FCA system. Both FCA warning light and warn-
ing message will disappear once
the ESC warning light issue is
resolved.

WARNING
The FCA is only a supplemen-
tal system for the driver’s con-
venience. The driver should
hold the responsibility to con-
trol the vehicle operation. Do
not solely depend on the FCA
system. Rather, maintain a safe
braking distance, and, if neces-
sary, depress the brake pedal
to lower the driving speed.
In certain instances and under certain driving condi-
tions, the FCA system may
activate unintentionally. This
initial warning message
appears on the LCD display
with a warning chime.

Limitation of the system
The FCA is an assistant system for a
driver in a certain risky driving condi-
tion and it does not take every
responsibility for all risks from driving
condition.
The FCA monitors the driving situa-
tions through the radar and the cam-
era sensor. Thus, for a situation out
of the sensing range, the FCA may
not normally operate. The driver
should pay great caution in the fol-
lowing situations. The FCA operation
may be limited.
Recognizing vehicles
The sensor may be limited when:
The radar sensor or camera is
blocked with a foreign object or
debris
The camera lens is contaminated due to tinted, filmed or coated
windshield, damaged glass, or
stuck of foreign matter (sticker,
bug, etc.) on the glass
Inclement weather such as heavy rain or snow obscures the field of
view of the radar sensor or camera
There is interference by electro- magnetic waves
There is severe irregular reflection from the radar sensor
The radar/camera sensor recogni- tion is limited
The vehicle in front is too small to be detected (for example a motor-
cycle etc.)
The vehicle in front is an oversize vehicle or trailer that is too big to
be detected by the camera recog-
nition system (for example a tractor
trailer, etc.)(Continued)
The FCA system does notdetect cross traffic vehicles
that are approaching.
The FCA system cannot detect the driver approaching
the side view of a parked vehi-
cle (for example on a dead
end street.) In these cases,
you must maintain a safe
braking distance, and if nec-
essary, depress the brake
pedal to reduce the driving
speed in order to maintain a
safe distance.
The regular braking function will operate normally even if
There is a problem with the
FCA brake control system or
other functions. In this case,
the braking control will not
operate in the risk of a collision.
The FCA system may not acti- vate according to driving con-
dition, traffic on the road,
weather, road condition, etc.
The FCA system may not acti- vate to all types of vehicles.

Driving your vehicle
- Changing lanes
When a vehicle changes lanes in
front of you, the FCA system may not
immediately detect the vehicle, espe-
cially if the vehicle changes lanes
abruptly. In this case, you must main-
tain a safe braking distance, and if
necessary, depress the brake pedal
to reduce your driving speed in order
to maintain a safe distance.When driving in stop-and-go traffic,
and a stopped vehicle in front of you
merges out of the lane, the FCA sys-
tem may not immediately detect the
new vehicle that is now in front of
you. In this case, you must maintain
a safe braking distance, and if nec-
essary, depress the brake pedal to
reduce your driving speed in order to
maintain a safe distance.
- Recognizing the vehicle
Detecting the vehicle in front of you If
the vehicle in front of you has cargo
that extends rearward from the cab,
or when the vehicle in front of you
has higher ground clearance, addi-
tional special attention is required.
The FCA system may not be able to
detect the cargo extending from the
vehicle. In these instances, you must
maintain a safe braking distance
from the rearmost object, and if nec-
essary, depress the brake pedal to
reduce your driving speed in order to
maintain distance.
