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 when
using the Forward Collision-Avoid‐
ance Assist (FCA) System:
• This system is only a supplemen‐
tal system and it is not intended
to, nor does it replace the need for
extreme care and attention of the
driver. The sensing range and ob‐
jects detectable by the sensors are
limited. Pay attention to the road
conditions at all times.
• NEVER drive too fast in accordance
with the road conditions or while
cornering.

• Always drive cautiously to prevent
unexpected and sudden situations
from occurring. FCA does not stop
the vehicle completely and does
not 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 you
cancel the FCA system.
The driver can monitor the FCA
ON/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 maximizes
the amount of distance
between the vehicle or
pedestrian ahead before
the initial warning occurs.
• NORMAL -
When this condition is se‐
lected, the initial Forward
Collision Warning is activa‐
ted normally. This setting
allows for a nominal
amount of distance be‐
tween the vehicle or pe‐
destrian ahead before the
initial warning occurs.
• LATE - When this condition is se‐
lected, the initial Forward
Collision Warning is activa‐
ted later than normal.
This setting reduces the
amount of distance be‐
