Rear Cross-Traffic Collision Avoidance Assist (RCCA)*†4
REMINDERS:
•
The RCCA feature can be turned OFF/ON in User Set tings, under Driver Assistance, Parking Safet y
•
When vehicle power is cycled, RCCA will remain in the previous state
•
When a vehicle is approaching within the sensing range, and traveling faster than 3 mph, the RCCA system will show a warning
•
RCCA is a supplemental system . It is not a substitute for safe driving, and may not detect all objects around or behind the vehicle . Do not solely rely on this system and always pay at tention to the road and its conditions
Rear Cross-Traffic Collision-Avoidance Assist (RCCA) is designed, under certain conditions, to warn the driver and potentially activate the Electronic Stability Control (ESC) and temporarily apply braking, if it detects cross traffic approaching the vehicle, when vehicle is in reverse .
When the RCCA rear-corner radar sensors detect approaching vehicles from the rear left or rear right side of the vehicle A .
RCCA will sound a warning, the warning indicators on the outside rearview mirror will illuminate and a message will appear on the Instrument Cluster LCD B . If RCCA detects that the collision risk has increased, the system automatically applies the brakes to reduce your speed, potentially helping to minimize the effects of a possible collision .
RCCA is designed to operate under the following conditions:
•
When the gear shift is in Reverse
•When the vehicle is moving slower than 6 mph
RCCA User Settings:
•To go to the User Settings menu in the Instrument Cluster, press the Mode button C 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, and select User Settings
•
To turn RCCA on when in User Settings , press the Move (OK) button D up/down, select Driver Assistance, Parking Safety, Rear Cross-Traffic Safety and then press OK D
•
To set the warning timing, go to User Settings , press the Move (OK) button D up/down, then go to Driver Assistance, Warning Time and press the OK button D . There are two settings:
– Early: Maximizes the amount of distance between the vehicles before the initial warning occurs
– Normal: This setting allows for a nominal amount of distance between the vehicles before
the initial warning occurs
•
Some models access settings through the Vehicle Settings in the audio head unit . Press the Setup hard key on the audio head unit, then VEHICLE on the screen to enter Vehicle Settings
•The default Warning Timing is set to Normal . If the Warning Timing is changed, the warning time of other Driver Assistance systems may also change

Dual Clutch Transmission (DCT)*
Some Kia vehicles are equipped with Dual Clutch Transmission (DCT) for automatic transmissions .
The following are unique driving tips for 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 standstill 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 section 5 in the Owner ’s Manual for additional information on Automatic Gear Shift or DCT operation or call Kia Consumer Affairs for additional information .
