System Setting and Activation

System Settings

The driver can activate AEB by turning the ignition switch to the ON position and selecting "User Settings", "Driver Assistance" and "Autonomous Emergency Braking". AEB is deactivated when the driver cancels the system setting.

The warning light illuminates on the LCD display when you cancel the AEB system.

It illuminates even with the ESC (Electronic Stability Control) status OFF. The driver can check the AEB ON/OFF status on the LCD display. If the warning light remains illuminated with AEB activated, have the system inspected by a qualified workshop. Kia recommends visiting an authorized Kia dealer/service partner.

The driver can select the initial warning timing in the user settings and Driver Assistance on the LCD display of the instrument cluster. Options for the initial forward collision warning include the following:

• EARLY - When this setting is selected, the initial forward collision warning is activated earlier than normal. If the "EARLY" warning seems too sensitive, change it to "NORMAL". If the vehicle ahead suddenly stops, the warning may seem late even if the "EARLY" setting has been selected.
• NORMAL - When this setting is selected, the initial forward collision warning is activated at the normal timing.
• LATE - When this setting is selected, the initial forward collision warning is activated later than normal. Select this setting only when traffic is light and you are driving at low speed.

Activation Conditions

AEB is ready to activate when AEB is selected on the LCD display and the following conditions are met.

- ESC is activated.
- Vehicle speed exceeds 10 km/h. (However, AEB is activated within a specific driving speed range.)
- A vehicle ahead is detected. (However, AEB does not activate depending on the conditions of the vehicle ahead and the system, but only issues certain warnings.)

WARNING

• AEB is automatically activated when the ignition switch is turned to the ON position. The driver can turn AEB off by changing the system settings on the LCD display.
• AEB is automatically deactivated when ESC is turned off, even if the AEB system is on, and the driver will not be able to activate AEB on the LCD display. In this case, the AEB warning light illuminates, but this does not indicate a malfunction.
• Set or cancel AEB using the steering wheel controls after stopping the vehicle in a safe place for your safety.
