COLLISION WARNING
EMERGENCY BRAKING
Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist (FCA) is not a substitute for safe driving and may not detect all objects in front of the vehicle . Always drive safely and use caution .
Actual User Settings steps may vary by model . For illustrative purposes only . Your actual display, buttons and/or features may vary . Refer to section 5 in the Owner’s Manual for more information .
Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist (FCA)†6
FCA is designed to detect and monitor a vehicle ahead or detect a pedestrian in the roadway through front view camera recognition and front radar signals to warn the driver that a collision is imminent, and if necessary,
temporarily apply emergency braking . If FCA detects a potential collision, FCA emits an audible warning and visual alert on the instrument cluster A .
If the system detects that the collision risk has increased, Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist (FCA) automatically applies the brakes to reduce your speed, potentially helping to reduce the effects of a possible collision .
FCA User Settings:
•FCA is ON by default in most Kia models . FCA can be activated or deactivated by going to the User Settings in the Instrument Cluster
•To go to User Settings , press the Mode button B on the Steering Wheel when the vehicle is at a standstill, gear shift in Park and the ignition on or the Engine Start/Stop button* in the ON position
•Press the OK button C up/down and select User Settings then Driver Assistance, go to Forward Safety and select Active Assist, Warning Only or Off
•Active Assist: Vehicle will provide a warning (audible & visual) and apply the brakes if needed
• Warning Only: Vehicle will provide a warning only (audible & visual)
• Off: FCA is off, no warnings or braking provided
•
To adjust FCA initial Warning Timing, go to User Settings , Driver Assistance, Warning Timing, then select an option:
–
Early/Normal/Standard: Maximizes the amount of distance between the vehicles before the initial warning occurs
– L a t e : Reduces the amount of distance between the vehicles before the initial warning occurs
The default settings for Warning Timing is set to Normal . If the Warning Timing is changed, the warning time of other Driver Assistance systems may also change .
FCA will become active when the:
•Ignition is on or the Engine Start/Stop button* is ON
•Vehicle is traveling faster than 5 mph
•Electronic Stability Control (ESC) is ONRESOKSET

Blind-Spot Collision-Avoidance Assist (BCA)†6
BCA uses rear corner radar sensors in the rear bumper to monitor and warn the driver in certain situations if it detects an approaching vehicle in the driver ’s blind spot area and before changing lanes . Initially, BCA provides
Blind-Spot Collision Warning (BCW) when it detects a potential collision with a vehicle, emitting an audible warning and visual alert on the outside rearview mirrors . If the system detects that the collision risk has increased, Blind-Spot Collision-Avoidance Assist (BCA) automatically applies the opposite side front brake to try and mitigate a potential collision .
•
1st-stage: When another vehicle is detected within BCW warning boundary A, an indicator will illuminate on the outside rearview mirrors B .
•
2nd-stage: When 1st stage warning is on and the driver activates a turn
signal, a flashing indicator will illuminate on the outside rearview mirrors and the system will sound a warning .
• 3 r d - s t a g e : When 1st stage warning is on and the 2nd stage warning has already occurred, and the collision risk has increased, braking is applied to the opposite side front wheel and a visual warning occurs .
BCA User Settings:
To turn BCA on, 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 switch or the Engine Start/Stop button* in the ON position, and select User Settings . Press the Move (OK) button D up/down and select Driver Assistance, Blind-Spot Safety and then press the OK button D .

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

To set BCA when in Blind-Spot Safety, select:
•Active Assist: BCA will provide a warning (audible & visual) and may activate Electronic Stability Control (ESC) and temporarily apply braking power
•Warning Only: Vehicle will provide a warning only (audible & visual)
•Off: System is off, no warnings provided

To set the initial warning activation time, go to User Settings , then Driver Assistance, Warning Time and press the OK button D . Adjust the warning timing:
•
Early/Normal: Maximizes the amount of distance between the vehicles before the initial warning occurs
• L a t e : Reduces the amount of distance between the vehicles before the initial warning occurs

Smart Cruise Control is designed to maintain a predetermined distance from vehicles detected ahead by automatically adjusting the driving speed as needed . When traffic is detected, the vehicle will slow down to maintain a
set distance behind traffic without depressing the accelerator or brake pedal .
With SCC on and activated, the vehicle distance set, and the system detects a vehicle slowing or stopping, the system can bring the vehicle to a complete stop . When the vehicle ahead starts to move forward, SCC re-engages . If the vehicle ahead stops for more than 3 seconds, the accelerator pedal or the RES+ button must be pressed to start moving the vehicle .
Smart Cruise Control will adjust acceleration based on the drive mode selected in the Drive Mode Integrated Control system .
Press the Driving Assist button* on the Steering Wheel A to activate and the speed will be set to the current vehicle speed . SCC may decrease the speed to maintain the distance with the vehicle in front .
To set/adjust the SCC speed:
•Press the Driving Assist button A to turn the system ON . The CRUISE indicator will illuminate on the instrument cluster
•Accelerate/decelerate to the desired speed
•Press the R E S + / S E T– button B to set the speed . Press the R E S + / S E T– button B up/down to increase/decrease the set speed
To set the vehicle distance:
•Press the Vehicle Distance button C on the steering wheel
•
Each time you press C the vehicle distance will change D, indicated by the number of bars that appear on the display E
To pause/resume SCC operation: Depress the brake pedal or press the Pause/Resume button* B . The
cruise indicator on the instrument cluster will change .
To turn SCC OFF: Press the Driving Assist button A . The CRUISE indicator on the instrument cluster will turn OFF .
To adjust the sensitivity of SCC: Press the mode button F on the Steering Wheel . With the OK button H, select Drive Assistance, then SCC Response . Then select Fast, Normal or Slow .

Rear Cross-Traffic Collision-Avoidance Assist (RCCA) is designed to warn the driver under certain conditions . It may activate the Electronic Stability Control (ESC) and temporarily apply braking if it detects cross traffic
approaching the vehicle when the 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 and the audio head unit .* If RCCA detects that the collision risk has increased, RCCA 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
