System Setting and Activation

System Settings

The driver can activate FCA by setting the ignition switch to the ON position and selecting:

"User Settings, Driver Assistance, Forward Safety"

- If you select "Active Assist," the FCA system is activated. FCA issues warning messages and alert signals according to collision risk levels. It also controls the brakes according to the collision risk level.
- If you select "Warning Only," the FCA system is activated and issues only alert signals according to collision risk levels. You must control the brake directly because the FCA system does not control the brake.
- If you select "Off," the FCA system is deactivated,

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

The driver can check the FCA ON/OFF status on the LCD display. In addition, the warning light illuminates when ESC (Electronic Stability Control) is turned off. If the warning light remains illuminated while FCA is activated, have the system checked by a professional workshop. Kia recommends visiting an authorized Kia Dealer/Service Partner.

The driver can select the timing of the initial warning on the LCD display.

Go to "User Settings, Driver Assistance, Warning Timing, Normal/Late."

The Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist (FCA) initial warning timing options are as follows:

- Normal:

When this condition is selected, the forward collision warning activates at the normal distance. This setting allows you to set the nominal distance between the vehicle and the vehicle ahead before the initial warning appears.

- Late:

When this condition is selected, the forward collision warning activates later than normal. This setting reduces the distance between the vehicle and the vehicle ahead before the initial warning appears.

Select Late when traffic is light and driving speed is low.

If the vehicle ahead accelerates, the driver may notice the warning earlier, even if the Late option is selected.

Activation Conditions

FCA is ready to be activated when Active Assist or Warning Only is selected under Forward Safety on the LCD display, and when the following prerequisites are met.

- ESC is activated.
- Vehicle speed exceeds 10 km/h. (However, FCA may be activated under certain driving conditions below this speed.)
- A vehicle ahead is detected. (However, FCA does not activate depending on the conditions ahead and vehicle systems, and only detects certain warnings.)
- FCA does not operate properly or only issues alert signals depending on the driving or vehicle conditions.
- If only Warning is selected under Forward Safety, FCA issues only warning signals according to collision risk levels.

WARNING

• FCA is automatically activated when the ignition switch is turned to the ON position. The driver can deactivate FCA by canceling the system setting on the LCD display.
• FCA is automatically deactivated when ESC is turned off. When ESC is turned off, FCA cannot be activated on the LCD display. The FCA warning light will illuminate, but this does not indicate a system malfunction.
• Activate or cancel FCA using the steering wheel switches after stopping the vehicle in a safe place for your safety.
