Driving your vehicle

Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist (FCA)

(Camera Type)

FCA may not recognize the vehicle in 
front even in the same lane.

The FCA system may produce the 
warning message and the warning 
alarm prematurely, or it may not 
produce the warning message or 
the warning alarm at all.

When driving on a curve, the driver 
must maintain a safe braking dis-
tance, and if necessary, depress the 
brake pedal to reduce your driving 
speed in order to maintain a safe 
distance.

While driving on a curve, the FCA 
may recognize the vehicle in front in 
the next lane.

If necessary, depress the brake 
pedal to reduce your driving speed 
in order to maintain a safe distance.

Also, when necessary depress the 
accelerator pedal to prevent the 
system from unnecessarily deceler-
ating your vehicle. Always check the 
traffic conditions around the vehicle.

Driving on a slope

The FCA performance may be lim-
ited while driving upward or down-
ward on a slope and may not 
recognize the vehicle in front in the 
same lane.

It may produce the warning mes-
sage and the warning alarm prema-
turely, or it may not produce the 
warning message and the warning 
alarm at all.

When the FCA suddenly recognizes 
the vehicle in front while passing 
over a slope, you may experience 
sharp deceleration.

Always keep your eyes forward 
while driving upward or downward 
on a slope, and, if necessary, 
depress the brake pedal.

Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist (FCA)

(Camera Type)

Changing lanes

When a vehicle changes lanes in 
front of you, the FCA system may 
not immediately detect the vehicle, 
especially if the vehicle changes 
lanes abruptly. In this case, you 
must maintain a safe braking dis-
tance, 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 
system may not immediately detect 
the new vehicle that is now in front 

of you. 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.

Recognizing the vehicle

If 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, 
additional special attention is 
required.

The FCA system may not be able to 
detect the cargo extending from the 
vehicle. In these instances, you must 
maintain a safe braking distance 
from the rearmost object, and if 
necessary, depress the brake pedal 
to reduce your driving speed in 
order to maintain distance.

WARNING

䳜 Do not use the Forward Collision-

Avoidance Assist (FCA) system 
when towing a vehicle. Application 
of the FCA system while towing 
may adversely affect the safety 
of your vehicle or the towing vehi-
cle.

䳜 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 clear-
ance.

䳜 The FCA system is designed to 

detect and monitor the vehicle 
ahead in the roadway through 
camera recognition. It is not 
designed to detect pedestrians, 
bicycles, motorcycles, or smaller 
wheeled objects such as luggage 
bags, shopping carts, or strollers.

fusion type (front Camera + front radar type)

Forward Collision-Avoidance 
Assist FCA Sensor fusion type 
(front Camera + front radar 
type) (if equipped)

The FCA system is designed to 
detect and monitor a vehicle ahead 
or detect a pedestrian in the road-
way through radar signals and cam-
era recognition to warn the driver 
that a collision is imminent, and if 
necessary, apply emergency brak-
ing.

WARNING

Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist 
(FCA) Limitations
The FCA system is a supplemental 
system and is not a substitute for 
safe driving practices.
It is the responsibility of the driver 
to always check the speed and dis-
tance to the vehicle ahead and to be 
prepared to apply the brakes.

WARNING

Take the following precautions 
when using the forward Collision-
Avoidance assist (FCA) system:
䳜 This system is only a supplemen-

tal system and it is not intended 
to, or does it replace the need for 
extreme care and attention of the 
driver. The sensing range and 
objects detectable by the sensors 

are limited. Pay attention to the 
road conditions at all times.

䳜 NEVER drive too fast in accor-

dance with the road conditions or 
while cornering.

䳜 Always drive cautiously to prevent 

unexpected and sudden situations 
from occurring. FCA does not stop 
the vehicle completely and does 
not avoid all collisions due to sys-
tem limitations.

Setting and activating the FCA

The driver can activate the FCA by 
placing the ignition switch or START/
STOP button to the ON position and 
by selecting:
䳜 Go to the 'User Settings in the 

cluster', 'Driver Assistance', and 
'Forward Collision-Avoidance 
Assist'.

The FCA deactivates, when the 
driver cancels the system setting.

The warning light illumi-
nates on the LCD display, 
when you cancel the FCA 

system. The driver can monitor the 
FCA ON/OFF status on the LCD dis-
play. Also, the warning light illumi-
nates when the ESC (Electronic 
Stability Control) is turned off (Trac-
tion & Stability control disabled.).

When the warning light remains ON 
with the FCA activated, take your 
vehicle to an authorized Kia dealer 
and have the system checked.

Setting the initial warning activa-
tion time

The driver can select the initial 
warning activation time in the User 
Settings in the instrument cluster 
LCD display.

The options for the initial Forward 
Collision Warning include the follow-
ing:
䳜 NORMAL: When this condition is 

selected, the initial Forward Colli-
sion Warning is activated nor-
mally.

䳜 LATE: When this condition is 

selected, the initial Forward Colli-
sion Warning is activated later 
than normal. This setting reduces 
the amount of distance between 
the vehicle or pedestrian ahead 
before the initial warning occurs. 
Select this condition only when 
traffic is light, and you are driving 
slowly.

Prerequisite for the FCA activation

The FCA will activate when the FCA 
is selected on the LCD display, and 
when the following prerequisites are 
satisfied:
䳜 The ESC (Electronic Stability Con-

trol) is activated.

䳜 The driving speed is over 10 km/h 

(6 mph). (The FCA only works 
within a certain range of vehicle 
speeds)

䳜 When the FCA recognizes a vehicle 

or the pedestrian in front.

WARNING

The FCA may not recognize every 
obstacle or provide warnings and 
braking in every situation, so do not 
rely on the FCA to stop the vehicle in 
instances where the driver sees an 
obstacle and has the ability to apply 
the brakes.

䳜 The FCA automatically activates 

upon placing the ignition switch or 
START/STOP button to the ON 
position. The driver can deactivate 
the FCA by canceling the system 
setting on the LCD display.

䳜 The FCA automatically deacti-

vates upon canceling the ESC. 
When the ESC is canceled, the FCA 
cannot be activated on the LCD 
display.
The FCA warning light will illumi-
nate.

䳜 To avoid driver distractions, do 

not attempt to set or cancel the 
FCA while operating the vehicle.

FCA warning message and brake 
control

The FCA system produces warning 
messages, warning alarms, and 
emergency braking based on the 
level of risk of a frontal collision, 
such as when a vehicle ahead sud-
denly brakes, or when the system 
detects that a collision with a 
pedestrian is imminent.

The driver can select the initial 
warning activation time in the User 
Settings in the LCD display. The 
options for the initial Forward Colli-
sion Warning include Early, Normal 
or Late initial warning time.

Collision Warning (1st warning)

䳜 The warning message appears on 

the LCD display with the warning 
alarms.

Additionally, some vehicle system 
intervention occurs by the engine 
management system to help decel-
erate the vehicle.

The Vehicle may slow down slightly.
䳜 It will operate if the vehicle speed 

is greater than 10 km/h (6 mph) 
and less than or equal to 160 km/
h (100 mph) on a forward vehicle. 
(Depending on the condition of 
the vehicle ahead and the envi-
ronment surrounding it, the pos-
sible maximum operating speed 
may be reduced.)

䳜 For pedestrians and cyclists, the 

vehicle speed is greater than or 
equal to 10 km/h (6 mph) and less 
than 90 km/h (56 mph). (Depend-
ing on the condition of pedestri-
ans and bike riders and the 
surrounding environment the 
possible maximum operating 
speed may be reduced.)
- If you select "Warning only", the 

FCA system activates and pro-
duces only warning alarms in 
accordance with the collision 
risk levels. You should control 
the brake directly because the 
FCA system do not control the 
brake.

Emergency braking (2nd warning)

䳜 The warning message appears on 

the LCD display with the warning 
alarms.

Additionally, some vehicle system 
intervention occurs by the engine 
management system to help decel-
erate the vehicle.

- If you select "Warning only", the 

FCA system activates and pro-
duces only warning alarms in 
accordance with the collision 
risk levels. You should control 
the brake directly because the 
FCA system do not control the 
brake.

Brake operation

In an urgent situation, the braking 
system enters into the ready status 
for prompt reaction to assist the 
driver in depressing the brake pedal.
䳜 The FCA provides additional brak-

ing power for optimum braking 
performance when the driver 

depresses the brake pedal during 
warning.

䳜 The braking control is automati-

cally deactivated when the driver 
sharply depresses the accelera-
tor pedal, or when the driver 
abruptly operates the steering 
wheel.

䳜 The braking control is automati-

cally canceled when risk factors 
disappear.

The driver should always exercise 
caution when operating the vehicle, 
even though there is no warning 
message or warning alarm.

WARNING

The FCA cannot avoid all collisions 
nor completely stop the vehicle 
before collision. The driver has the 
responsibility to drive safely and 
control the vehicle.

WARNING

The FCA is a supplemental system 
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.

fusion type (front Camera + front radar type)

WARNING

Never deliberately drive dangerously 
to activate the system as such con-
duct increases the risk of an acci-
dent.

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 conditions may 
affect the operation of the FCA sys-
tem.
For the system operation, do not 
attempt risky driving.

FCA front radar / Camera sensor

In order for the FCA system to 
operate 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 sensor or its external parts may 
adversely affect the sensing perfor-
mance of the sensor.

NOTICE

䳜 Do not apply foreign objects such 

as a bumper sticker or a bumper 
guard near the radar sensor.
Doing so may adversely affect the 
sensing performance of the radar.

䳜 Always keep the radar sensor and 

over clean and free of dirt and 
debris.

䳜 Use only soft clothes to wash the 

vehicle. Do not spray pressurized 
water directly on the sensor or 
sensor cover.

䳜 Be careful not to apply unneces-

sary force on the radar sensor or 
sensor cover. If the sensor is forc-

ibly moved out of proper align-
ment, the FCA system may not 
operate correctly. In this case, a 
warning message may not be dis-
played. Have the vehicle inspected 
by an authorized Kia dealer.

䳜 If the front bumper becomes 

damaged in the area around the 
radar sensor, the FCA system 
may not operate properly. In this 
case, have your vehicle inspected 
by an authorized Kia dealer.

䳜 Use only genuine parts to repair 

or replace a damaged sensor or 
sensor cover. Do not apply paint 
to the sensor cover.

䳜 Do not tint the window or install 

stickers or accessories around the 
inside mirror where the camera is 
installed.

䳜 Make sure the frontal camera 

installation point does not get 
wet.

䳜 Do not impact or remove any 

radar/camera components.

䳜 Do not place reflective objects 

(white paper or mirror etc.) on the 
dashboard. The system may acti-
vate unnecessarily due to reflec-
tion of the sunlight.

䳜 Excessive audio system volume 

may prevent occupants from 
hearing the FCA system warning 
alarm.

Warning message and warning light

When the sensor is covered or the 
sensor lens is dirty with foreign 
substances, such as snow or rain, 
the FCA system may not be able to 
detect vehicles or pedestrians.

In this case, a warning message 
("Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist 
(FCA) system disabled. Radar 
blocked") will appear to notify the 
driver. Remove the foreign sub-
stances to allow the FCA system to 
function normally.

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 vehicles or objects are not 
detected after turning ON the vehi-
cle.

FCA malfunction

When the FCA is not working prop-

erly, the FCA warning light (

) 

will illuminate and the warning mes-
sage will appear for a few seconds.

Type A

Type B

After the message disappears, the 

master warning light (

) will illu-

minate. In this case, take your vehi-
cle to an authorized Kia dealer and 
have the system checked.

The FCA system will also be deacti-
vated for the sake of driver's safety 

when the ESC warning light comes 
on. The FCA warning message will 
appear at the same time, too. But 
that doesn't necessarily mean the 
malfunction of the FCA system.

Both FCA warning light and warning 
message will disappear once the ESC 
warning light issue is resolved.

WARNING

䳜 The FCA is only a supplemental 

system for the driver's conve-
nience. It is the driver's responsi-
bility to control the vehicle 
operation. Do not solely depend 
on the FCA system. Rather, main-
tain a safe braking distance, and, 
if necessary, depress the brake 
pedal to reduce the driving speed 
or stop the vehicle.

䳜 In certain instances and under 

certain driving conditions, the FCA 
system may activate uninten-
tionally. This initial warning mes-
sage appears on the LCD display 
with a warning chime.
Also, due to sensing limitations, in 
certain situations, the front radar 
sensor or camera recognition sys-
tem may not detect the vehicle, 
pedestrian or cyclist (if equipped) 
ahead. The FCA system may not 
activate and the warning mes-
sage will not be displayed.

䳜 The FCA may unnecessarily pro-

duce the warning message and 
the warning alarms. Also, due to

the sensing limitation, the FCA 
may not produce the warning 
message and the warning alarm 
at all.

䳜 When there is a malfunction with 

the FCA, the autonomous emer-
gency braking does not operate 
upon detecting a collision risk 
even with other braking systems 
normally operating.

䳜 The FCA operates only for the 

vehicle/pedestrian in front, while 
driving forward. It does not oper-
ate for any animals or vehicles in 
the opposite direction.

䳜 The FCA system may not activate 

if the driver applies the brake 
pedal before warning to avoid risk 
of collision.

䳜 The FCA system does not operate 

when the vehicle is in reverse.

䳜 The FCA system is not designed 

to detect other objects on the 
road such as animals.

䳜 The FCA system does not detect 

vehicles in the opposite lane.

䳜 The FCA system does not detect 

cross traffic vehicles that are 
approaching.

䳜 The FCA system cannot detect 

the driver approaching the side 
view of a parked vehicle (for 
example on a dead end street). In 
these cases, you must maintain a 
safe braking distance, and if nec-
essary, depress the brake pedal 
to reduce the driving speed in 
order to maintain a safe distance.

䳜 The FCA system may not activate 

depending on road or driving con-
ditions.

䳜 The FCA system may not activate 

to all types of vehicles.

Limitations of the FCA

The FCA system is designed to 
monitor the vehicle ahead in the 
roadway through radar signals and 
camera recognition to warn the 
driver that a collision is imminent, 
and if necessary, apply emergency 
braking.

In certain situations, the radar sen-
sor or the camera may not be able 
to detect the vehicle ahead. In these 
cases, the FCA system may not 
operate normally. The driver must 
pay careful attention in the follow-
ing situations where the FCA opera-
tion may be limited.

Limitations of the sensors

The sensor may be limited when:
䳜 The radar sensor or camera is 

blocked with a foreign object or 
debris.

䳜 The camera lens is contaminated 

due to tinted, filmed or coated 
windshield, damaged glass, or 
stuck of foreign matter (sticker, 
bug, etc.) on the glass.

䳜 Inclement weather such as heavy 

rain or snow obscures the field of

view of the radar sensor or cam-
era.

䳜 There is interference by electro-

magnetic waves.

䳜 Something in the path of travel 

deflects the radar waves.

䳜 The radar/camera sensor recog-

nition is limited.

䳜 The vehicle in front is too small to 

be detected (for example a 
motorcycle etc.)

䳜 The vehicle in front is an oversize 

vehicle or trailer that is too big to 
be detected by the camera recog-
nition system (for example a 
tractor trailer, etc.)

䳜 The camera's field of view is not 

well illuminated (either too dark 
or too much reflection or too 
much backlight that obscures the 
field of view)

䳜 The vehicle in front does not have 

their rear lights on or their rear 
lights are located unusually.

䳜 The outside brightness changes 

suddenly, for example when 
entering or exiting a tunnel.

䳜 When light coming from a street 

light or an oncoming vehicle is 
reflected on a wet road surface 
such as a puddle in the road.

䳜 The field of view in front is 

obstructed by sun glare.

䳜 The windshield glass is fogged up.
䳜 The vehicle in front is driving 

erratically.

䳜 The vehicle is on unpaved or 

uneven rough surfaces, or road 
with sudden gradient changes.

䳜 The vehicle is driven near areas 

containing metal substances as a 
construction zone, railroad, etc.

䳜 The vehicle drives inside a build-

ing, such as a basement parking 
lot.

䳜 The camera does not recognize 

the entire vehicle in front.

䳜 The camera is damaged.
䳜 The brightness outside is too low 

such as when the headlamps are 
not on at night or the vehicle is 
going through a tunnel.

䳜 A shadow is on the road by a 

median strip, trees, etc.

䳜 The vehicle drives through a toll-

gate.

䳜 The rear part of the vehicle in 

front is not fully visible.

䳜 Adverse road conditions cause 

excessive vehicle vibrations while 
driving.

䳜 The sensor recognition changes 

suddenly when passing over a 
speed bump.

䳜 The vehicle in front is moving ver-

tically to the driving direction.

䳜 The vehicle in front is stopped 

vertically.

䳜 The vehicle in front is driving 

towards your vehicle or reversing.

䳜 You are on a roundabout and the 

vehicle in front circles.

Driving on a curve

The FCA performance may be lim-
ited while driving on a curve. The 
FCA may not recognize the vehicle in 
front even in the same lane. The 
FCA system may produce the warn-
ing message and the warning alarm 
prematurely, or it may not produce 
the warning message or the warn-
ing alarm at all.

Also, in certain instances the front 
radar sensor or camera recognition 
system may not detect the vehicle 
traveling on a curved road.

When driving on a curve, the driver 
must maintain a safe braking dis-
tance, and if necessary, depress the 
brake pedal to reduce your driving 
speed in order to maintain a safe 
distance.

The FCA system may recognize a 
vehicle in the next lane when driving 
on a curved road.

In this case, the system may alarm 
the driver and apply the brake. 
Always pay attention to road and 
driving conditions, while driving. If 
necessary, depress the brake pedal 
to reduce your driving speed in 
order to maintain a safe distance.

Also, when necessary depress the 
accelerator pedal to prevent the 
system from unnecessarily deceler-
ating your vehicle.

Always check the traffic conditions 
around the vehicle.

Driving on a slope

The FCA performance may be lim-
ited while driving upward or down-
ward on a slope, and may not 
recognize the vehicle in front in the 
same lane. It may produce the 
warning message and the warning 
alarm prematurely, or it may not 
produce the warning message and 
the warning alarm at all.

When the FCA suddenly recognizes 
the vehicle in front while passing 
over a slope, you may experience 
sharp deceleration.

Always keep your eyes forward 
while driving upward or downward 
on a slope, and, if necessary, 
depress the brake pedal.

Changing lanes

When a vehicle changes lanes in 
front of you, the FCA system may 
not immediately detect the vehicle, 
especially if the vehicle changes 
lanes abruptly. In this case, you 
must maintain a safe braking dis-
tance, 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 
system may not immediately detect 
the new vehicle that is now in front

of you. 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.

Recognizing the vehicle

If 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, 
additional special attention is 
required.

The FCA system may not be able to 
detect the cargo extending from the 
vehicle. In these instances, you must 
maintain a safe braking distance 
from the rearmost object, and if 
necessary, depress the brake pedal 
to reduce your driving speed in 
order to maintain distance.

Recognizing pedestrians

Be cautious in the following situa-
tions, as the pedestrian may not be 
detected by the system.
䳜 The pedestrian is not fully cap-

tured by the camera sensor, or 
the pedestrian does not walk in 
the upright position.

䳜 The pedestrian moves very fast.
䳜 The pedestrian abruptly appears 

in front.

䳜 The pedestrian wears clothes in 

the color similar to the back-
ground.

䳜 The outside is too bright or too 

dark.

䳜 The vehicle drives at night or in 

the darkness.

䳜 There is an item similar to a per-

son's body structure.

䳜 The pedestrian is small.
䳜 The pedestrian has impaired 

mobility.

䳜 It is difficult to distinguish the 

pedestrian from the surround-
ings.

䳜 The sensor recognition is limited 

due to weather conditions.

䳜 There is a group of pedestrians.
䳜 If a sudden change in the sensor 

recognition takes place while 
passing through the speed bump.

䳜 When the vehicle is severely 

shaken due to adverse road con-
ditions.
