The warning light illumi-
nates on the LCD display,
when you cancel FCA. The
driver can monitor the
FCA ON/OFF status on the LCD dis-
play. Also, the warning light illumi-
nates when the ESC (Electronic
Stability Control) is turned off. When
the warning light remains ON with
FCA activated, have the system
checked by an authorized Kia dealer.
Setting the initial warning activa-
tion time
The driver can select the initial warn-
ing activation time on the LCD dis-
play. Go to the 'User Settings 
Driver Assistance  Forward
Collision Warning 
Early/Normal/Late'.
The options for the initial Forward
Collision Warning includes the fol-
lowing: • Early - When this condition is select-
ed, the initial Forward
Collision Warning is activat-
ed earlier than normal. This
setting maximizes the
amount of distance between
the vehicle or pedestrian
ahead before the initial warn-
ing occurs. If the ‘Early’ con-
dition feels too sensitive,
change it into ‘Normal’. When
the vehicle ahead suddenly
stops, the warning may
seem to activate later even if
the ‘Early’ condition was
selected.
• Normal - When this condition is selected, the initial Forward
Collision Warning is acti-
vated normally. This setting
allows for a nominal
amount of distance
between the vehicle or
pedestrian ahead before
the initial warning occurs. • Late -
When this condition is
selected, the initial Forward
Collision Warning is activat-
ed later than normal. This
setting reduces the amount
of distance between the
vehicle or pedestrians ahead
before the initial warning
occurs. Select this condition
only when traffic is light, and
you are driving slowly.

FCA gets ready to be activated,
when FCA is selected on the LCD
display, and when the following pre-
requisites are satisfied.
- The ESC (Electronic StabilityControl) is activated.
- Vehicle speed is over 8 km/h (5 mph). (FCA is only activated within

canceling the ESC (Electronic
Stability Control). When the ESC is
canceled, FCA cannot be activated
on the LCD display. FCA warning
light will illuminate, but it does not
indicate a malfunction of the system.
FCA warning message and
system control
FCA produces warning messages,
warning alarms, alarms in accor-
dance with the collision risk levels,
such as abrupt stopping of the vehi-
cle in front, insufficient braking dis-
tance detection. Also, it controls the
brakes in accordance with the colli-
sion risk levels.
The driver can select the initial warn-
ing activation time in the User
Settings in the LCD display. The
options for the initial Forward
Collision Warning include Early,
Normal or Late initial warning time.
WARNING
• Completely stop the vehicle
on a safe location before
operating the switch on the
steering wheel to activate/
deactivate FCA.
• FCA automatically activates upon placing the Engine
Start/Stop button to the ON
position. The driver can deac-
tivate FCA by canceling the
system setting on the LCD
display. To avoid driver dis-
tractions, do not attempt to
set or cancel FCA while driv-
ing the vehicle.

(Depending on the condition of the
vehicle ahead and the environment
surrounding it, the possible maxi-
mum operating speed may be
reduced.) - For pedestrians, the vehicle
speed is greater than or equal to 5
mph (8 km/h) and less than 40
mph (60 km/h). (Depending on the

alarms.
• The brake control is maximized just before a collision, reducing
impact when it strikes a forward
vehicle.

✽NOTICE
• FCA is only a supplemental sys-tem for the driver’s convenience.
The driver has the ultimate
responsibility to control and oper-
ate the vehicle safely. Do not solely
depend on FCA. Rather, maintain
a safe braking distance, and, if
necessary, depress the brake pedal
to lower the driving speed.
• In certain instances and under certain driving conditions, FCA
may activate unintentionally. This
initial warning message appears
on the LCD display with a warn-
ing chime.
Also, in certain instances the front
view camera may not detect the
vehicle or pedestrian ahead. FCA
may not activate and the warning
message will not be displayed.
• FCA may unnecessarily produce the warning message and the
warning alarms. Also, due to the
sensing limitation, FCA may not
produce the warning message and
the warning alarm at all.
(Continued)(Continued)
• When there is a malfunction with
FCA, the braking control does not
operate upon detecting a collision
risk even with other braking sys-
tems normally operating.
• FCA operates only for the vehi- cle/pedestrian in front, while driv-
ing forward. It does not operate
for any animals or vehicles in the
opposite direction.
• FCA does not recognize the vehi- cle, which transversally drives
across the crossroad, or the vehi-
cle, which is parked in the trans-
versal direction.
• If the vehicle in front stops sud- denly, you may have less control of
the brake system. Therefore,
always keep safe distance between
your vehicle and the vehicle in
front of you.
• FCA may activate during braking and the vehicle may stop suddenly.
And the load in the vehicle may
endanger passengers. Therefore,
always be mindful of the load vol-
ume in the vehicle. (Continued)(Continued)
• FCA may not activate if the driver
applies the brake pedal to avoid
risk of collision.
• FCA does not operate when the vehicle is in reverse. In these cir-
cumstances, 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 dis tance.
• The regular braking function will operate normally even if There is a
problem with the FCA brake con-
trol system or other functions. In
this case, the braking control will
not operate in an imminent colli-
sion.
• FCA may not activate according to driving condition, traffic on the
road, weather, road condition, etc.
• FCA may not activate in response to all types of vehicles.
