CRUISE CONTROL SYSTEM (IF EQUIPPED)
The cruise control system allows you to
program the vehicle to maintain a con‐
stant speed without pressing the accel‐ erator pedal.
This system is designed to function
above approximately 30 km/h (20
mph).
WARNING
•If the cruise control is left on,(CRUISE indicator light in the in‐strument cluster illuminated) thecruise control can be switched onaccidentally. Keep the cruise con‐trol system off (CRUISE indicatorlight OFF) when the cruise controlis not in use, to avoid inadvertent‐ly setting a speed.
•Use the cruise control system onlywhen traveling on open highwaysin good weather.
(Continued)
(Continued)
•Do not use the cruise control whenit may not be safe to keep the carat a constant speed, for instance,driving in heavy or varying traffic,or on slippery (rainy, icy or snow-covered) or winding roads or over6% uphill or down-hill roads.
•Pay particular attention to thedriving conditions whenever usingthe cruise control system.
CAUTION
During cruise-speed driving of amanual transaxle vehicle, do notshift into neutral without depressingthe clutch pedal, since the enginewill be over-revved. If this happens,depress the clutch pedal or releasethe cruise control ON-OFF switch.
NOTICE
During normal cruise control opera‐
tion, when the SET switch is activa‐
ted or reactivated after applying the
brakes, the cruise control will ener‐
gize after approximately 3 seconds.
This delay is normal.
NOTICE
To activate cruise control, depress
the brake pedal at least once after
turning the ignition switch to the ON
position or starting the engine. This
is to check if the brake switch which
is important part to cancel cruise
control is in normal condition.

FORWARD COLLISION-AVOIDANCE ASSIST (FCA) SYSTEM (IF EQUIPPED)
The FCA system is to reduce or to avoid
accident risk. It recognizes the distance
from the vehicle ahead or the pedes‐ trian through the sensors (i.e. radar
and camera), and, if necessary, warns
the driver of accident risk with the warning message or the warning
alarms.
WARNING
Take the following precautions whenusing the Forward Collision-Avoid‐ance Assist (FCA) System:•This system is only a supplemen‐tal system and it is not intendedto, nor does it replace the need forextreme care and attention of thedriver. The sensing range and ob‐jects detectable by the sensors arelimited. Pay attention to the roadconditions at all times.
•NEVER drive too fast in accordancewith the road conditions or whilecornering.
(Continued)
(Continued)
•Always drive cautiously to preventunexpected and sudden situationsfrom occurring. FCA does not stopthe vehicle completely and doesnot avoid collisions.
System setting and activation
System setting
The driver can activate the FCA by plac‐
ing the ignition switch to the ON posi‐
tion and by selecting 'User Settings', 'Driving Assist', and 'Forward Collision-
Avoidance Assist (FCA)'. The FCA deac‐
tivates, when the driver cancels the system setting.
The warning light illuminates on the LCD display, when youcancel the FCA system.
The driver can monitor the FCAON/OFF status on the LCD display.
When the warning light remains ON
with the FCA activated, have the sys‐tem checked by a professional work‐
shop. Kia recommends to visit an au‐
thorized Kia dealer/service partner. The driver can select the initial warning
activation time in the User Settings and Driving Assist in the instrument cluster
LCD display. The options for the initial
Forward Collision Warning include the following:
• EARLY - When this condition is se‐
lected, the initial Forward
Collision Warning is activa‐ted earlier than normal.This setting maximizesthe amount of distance
between the vehicle or
pedestrian ahead beforethe initial warning occurs.
• NORMAL - When this condition is se‐
lected, the initial Forward
Collision Warning is activa‐ted normally. This settingallows for a nominalamount of distance be‐
tween the vehicle or pe‐
destrian ahead before theinitial warning occurs.
• LATE - When this condition is se‐ lected, the initial Forward
Collision Warning is activa‐ted later than normal.
This setting reduces theamount of distance be‐

WARNING
The FCA operates in accordance withthe risk levels, such as the distancefrom the vehicle/passer-by in front,the speed of the vehicle/passer-byin front, and the driver's vehicle op‐eration.
Sensor to detect the distance
from the vehicle in front (front
radar)
0:#%
The sensor is to maintain a certain dis‐
tance from the vehicle in front. Howev‐ er, the smudged sensor lens with for‐
eign substances, such as snow and rain,
adversely affects the sensing perform‐ ance. It may even temporarily cancel
the FCA. Always keep the sensor lens
clean.
Warning message and warning light
0:#-
When the sensor cover or the sensor
lens is smudged with the foreign sub‐ stances, such as snow or rain, the FCA
operation may temporarily stop. In this
case, the warning message appears to warn the driver.
This is not a malfunction with the FCA.
To operate the FCA again, remove the
foreign substances.
If the sensor is smudged entirely or no object is sensed (in an open terrain
etc.), The FCA might not operate nor‐
mally.

NOTICE
•Do not install any accessories,
such as license plate molding or
sticker, on the sensor area. Nor ar‐
bitrarily replace the bumper.
Those may adversely affect the
sensing performance.
•Always keep the sensor/bumper
area clean.
•Use only soft clothes to wash the
vehicle. Also, do not spray highly-
pressurized water on the sensor
installed on the bumper.
•Be careful not to apply unnecessa‐
ry force on the frontal sensor
area. When the sensor moves out
of the correct position due to ex‐
ternal force, the system may not
normally operate even without the
warning light or message. In this
case, have the vehicle inspected by
a professional workshop. Kia rec‐
ommends to visit an authorized
Kia dealer/service partner.

nate. In this case, have the vehicle in‐
spected by a professional workshop.
Kia recommends to visit an author‐
ized Kia dealer/service partner. • The FCA warning message may ap‐
pear along with the illumination of
the ESC warning light.
WARNING
•The FCA is only a supplementalsystem for the driver’s conven‐ience. The driver should hold theresponsibility to control the vehicleoperation. Do not solely depend onthe FCA system. Rather, maintaina safe braking distance, and, ifnecessary, depress the brake ped‐al to lower the driving speed.
•The FCA may unnecessarily pro‐duce the warning message and thewarning alarms. Also, due to thesensing limitation, the FCA maynot produce the warning messageand the warning alarm at all.
•When there is a malfunction withthe FCA, the braking control doesnot operate upon detecting a colli‐sion risk even with other brakingsystems normally operating.

•The FCA operates only for the ve‐hicle / pedestrian in front, whiledriving forward. It does not oper‐ate for any animals or vehicles inthe opposite direction.
•The FCA does not recognize thevehicle, which horizontally drivesacross the crossroad, or the vehi‐cle, which is parked in the horizon‐tal direction.
Limitation of the system
The FCA is an assistant system for a
driver in a certain risky driving condition
and it does not take every responsibili‐ ty for all risks from driving condition.
The FCA monitors the driving situations
through the radar and the camera sen‐
sor. Thus, for a situation out of the sensing range, the FCA may not nor‐
mally operate. The driver should pay
great caution in the following situa‐ tions. The FCA operation may be limi‐
ted.
Recognizing vehicles
- The radar or the camera is contami‐
nated with foreign substances.
- It heavily rains or snows. -
There is interruption by electric
waves.
- There is severe irregular reflection
from the radar.
- The vehicle in front has a narrow
body. (i.e. motor cycle and bicycle)
- The driver’s view is unclear due to
the backlight, the reflected light, or
darkness.
- The camera cannot contain the full
image of the vehicle in front.
- The vehicle in front is a special vehi‐
cle, such as a heavily-loaded truck or
a trailer.
The vehicle in front does not turn ON
the rear lights, does not have rear
lights, has asymmetric rear lights, or
has rear lights out of angle.
- The outside brightness is greatly
changed, such as entering/exiting the tunnel.
- The vehicle driving is unstable.
- The radar/camera sensor recognition
is limited.
- Driving on unpaved and uneven road
surfaces, or through sudden gradient changes. -
In construction zones or on railroad
tracks, or there are metallic objects
on the road.
- Driving indoors such as in an under‐
ground parking lot.
- Driving on a curve
The FCA performance decreases
while driving on a curve. The FCA may
not recognize the vehicle in front even in the same lane. It may unnec‐
essarily produce the warning mes‐
sage and the warning alarm, or it
may not produce the warning mes‐
sage and the warning alarm at all.
While driving on a curve, pay great caution, and, if necessary, depress
the brake pedal.
