FORWARD COLLISION-AVOIDANCE ASSIST (FCA) (IF EQUIPPED)
The FCA system (if equipped) 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 necessary, 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.
WARNING - Forward
Collision-Avoidance assist
(FCA) Limitations
The FCA system is a supple-
mental system and is not a sub-
stitute for safe driving prac-
tices. It is the responsibility of
the driver to always check the
speed and distance to the vehi-
cle ahead and to be prepared to
apply the brakes.
WARNING
Take the following precautions
when using the forward colli-
sion-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 driv-
er. The sensing range and
objects detectable by the sen-
sors 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.

Brake operation
• In an urgent situation, the braking
system enters into the ready status
for prompt reaction against the dri-
ver’s depressing the brake pedal.
The FCA provides additional brak- ing power for optimum braking per-
formance when the driver depress-
es the brake pedal.
The braking control is automatical- ly deactivated, when the driver
sharply depresses the accelerator
pedal, or when the driver abruptly
operates the steering wheel.
The braking control is automatical- ly canceled when risk factors dis-
appear.
The driver should always exercise
caution when operating the vehicle,
even though there is no warning
message or warning alarm.
✽ ✽ 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.
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
lens may adversely affect the sens-
ing performance of the sensor.
WARNING
Never deliberately drive danger-
ously to activate the system as
such conduct increases the risk
of an accident.

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.

Driving your vehicle

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
message will appear for a few sec-
onds. After the message disap-
pears, the master warning light
( ) will illuminate. In this case,
have the vehicle inspected by an
authorized Kia dealer.
The FCA warning message may appear along with the illumination
of the ESC warning light.

WARNING
The FCA is only a supplemental
system for the driver’s conven-
ience.
It is the driver's responsibility to
control the vehicle. Do not sole-
ly depend on the FCA system.
Rather, maintain a safe braking
distance, and, if necessary,
depress the brake pedal to
lower the driving speed.

Always keep your eyes forward while
driving upward or downward on a
slope, and, if necessary, depress the
brake pedal to reduce your driving
speed in order to maintain a safe dis-
tance.
- 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.

cles)
- Road sign, shadow on the road, tunnel entrance, toll gate, partial
pavement
- If the moist on the front windshield is not entirely removed or it is
frozen
- The weather is foggy
- The radar/camera sensor recogni- tion is limited.
WARNING
The FCA cannot avoid all colli-
sions. The FCA might not com-
pletely stop the vehicle before a
collision, due to ambient weath-
er and road conditions. The
driver has the responsibility to
drive safely and control the
vehicle.
WARNING
Do not use the FCA systemwhen towing a vehicle. Cancel
the FCA in the User Settings
on the LCD display before
towing. Brake application by
the FCA system while towing
may adversely affect your
safety.
Use extreme caution when 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.
The FCA system is designed to detect and monitor the
vehicle ahead or detect a
pedestrian in the roadway
through radar signals and
camera recognition. It is not
designed to detect bicycles,
motorcycles, or smaller
wheeled objects such as lug-
gage bags, shopping carts, or
strollers.

The Lane Keeping Assist (LKA) sys-
tem is designed to detect the lane
markers on the road with a front view
camera at the front windshield, and
assists the driver's steering to help
keep the vehicle in the lanes. When the system detects the vehicle
straying from its lane, it alerts the
driver with a visual and audible warn-
ing, while applying a slight counter-
steering torque, trying to prevent the
vehicle from moving out of its lane.
