Driving your vehicle
If the speed of the vehicle is over 40
mph (64 km/h) and the system
detects the lane markers, the color
changes from gray to white
When the conditions below are met,
LKA will be enable to assist steering.
• Vehicle speed is above 40 mph (64km/h).
• Lane marker (one or both side) is detected by LKA.
If LKA can assist steering, a green
steering wheel indicator will illumi-
nate.
Warning
If the vehicle leaves a lane, the lane
marker you cross will blink on the
LCD display.
If the vehicle moves out its lane
because steering torque for assis-
tance is not enough, the line indica-
tor will blink.
WARNING
The Lane Keeping Assist is a
system to help prevent the driv-
er from leaving the lane.
However, the driver should not
solely rely on the system but
always check the road condi-
tions when driving.

• If all the conditions to activate LKAare not satisfied, the system will
convert to the Lane Departure
Warning (LDW) and warn the driv-
er only when the driver crosses the
lane markers. In this scenario,
LDW does not provide any steering
inputs into the vehicle for you.
Accordingly, you must take the
necessary steps to maintain con-
trol of the vehicle and keep it with-
in the lanes.
If the driver takes hands off the steer-
ing wheel for several seconds while
LKA is activated, the system will
warn the driver. If the driver still does not have their
hands on the steering wheel after
several seconds, the system will not
control the steering wheel and warn
the driver only when the driver cross-
es the lane markers.
However, if the driver has their hands
on the steering wheel again, the sys-
tem will start providing steering
inputs.

WARNING
• Always have your hands on the
steering wheel while driving.
• If you hold the steering wheel with a light grip, the system
may generate a hands off
warning.

When there is a problem with the sys-
tem do one of the following:
• Turn the system on after turningthe engine off and on again.
• Check if the ignition switch is in the ON position.
• Check if the system is affected by the weather. (ex: fog, heavy rain,
etc.)
• Check if there is foreign matter covering the camera lens
If the problem is not solved, take your
vehicle to an authorized Kia dealer
and have the system checked.LKA system Function Change
The driver can change LKA to Lane
Departure Warning System (LDW
system) or change LKA mode
between Standard LKA and Active
LKA from the User Settings Mode on
the LCD display.
The driver can choose them by plac-
ing the ignition switch to the ON posi-
tion and by selecting ‘User Settings’,
‘Driver Assistance’, and ‘Lane
Keeping Assist’.
The system is automatically set to
Standard LKA.
Lane Departure
LDW alerts the driver with a visual
and acoustic warning when the sys-
tem detects the vehicle leaving the
lane. In this mode, the system will not
provide steering inputs. When the
vehicle’s front wheel contacts the
inside edge of lane line, LKA issues
the lane departure warning.
Standard LKA
The Standard LKA mode guides the
driver to keep the vehicle within the
lanes. It provides steering inputs
when the vehicle is about to deviate
from the lanes.
Active LKA
The active LKA mode provides more
frequent steering inputs in compari-
son with the Standard LKA mode.

Your vehicle's fuel economy depends
mainly on your style of driving, where
you drive and when you drive.
Each of these factors affects how
many miles (kilometers) you can get
from a gallon (liter) of fuel. To operate
your vehicle as economically as pos-
sible, use the following driving sug-
gestions to help save money in both
fuel and repairs:
• Drive smoothly. Accelerate at amoderate rate. Don't make "jack-
rabbit" starts or full-throttle shifts
and maintain a steady cruising
speed. Don't race between stop-
lights. Try to adjust your speed to
the traffic so you don't have to
change speeds unnecessarily.
Avoid heavy traffic whenever pos-
sible. Always maintain a safe dis-
tance from other vehicles so you
can avoid unnecessary braking.
This also reduces brake wear.
• Drive at a moderate speed. The faster you drive, the more fuel your
vehicle uses. Driving at a moderate
speed, especially on the highway,
is one of the most effective ways to
reduce fuel consumption. • Don't "ride" the brake pedal. This
can increase fuel consumption and
also increase wear on these com-
ponents. In addition, driving with
your foot resting on the brake pedal
may cause the brakes to overheat,
which reduces their effectiveness
and may lead to more serious con-
sequences.
• Take care of your tires. Keep them inflated to the recommended pres-
sure. Incorrect inflation, either too
much or too little, results in unnec-
essary tire wear. Check the tire
pressures at least once a month.
• Be sure that the wheels are aligned correctly. Improper align-
ment can result from hitting curbs
or driving too fast over irregular
surfaces. Poor alignment causes
faster tire wear and may also result
in other problems as well as
greater fuel consumption. • Keep your vehicle in good condi-
tion. For better fuel economy and
reduced maintenance costs, main-
tain your vehicle in accordance
with the maintenance schedule in
chapter 7. If you drive your vehicle
in severe conditions, more frequent
maintenance is required (see
chapter 7 for details).
• Keep your vehicle clean. For maxi- mum service, your vehicle should
be kept clean and free of corrosive
materials. It is especially important
that mud, dirt, ice, etc. not be
allowed to accumulate on the
underside of the vehicle. This extra
weight can result in increased fuel
consumption and also contribute to
corrosion.
• Travel lightly. Don't carry unneces- sary weight in your vehicle. Weight
reduces fuel economy.
• Don't let the engine idle longer than necessary. If you are waiting
(and not in traffic), turn off your
engine and restart only when
you're ready to go.
