HDA malfunction and limitations

HDA malfunction

When HDA is not working properly, the warning message will appear, and the () warning light will appear on the cluster. Have HDA inspected by an authorized Kia dealer.

WARNING
  • You are responsible for controlling your vehicle.

  • Always have your hands on the steering wheel.

  • HDA is a supplemental function that assists you in driving your vehicle and is not a complete autonomous driving system. Always check road conditions, and if necessary, take appropriate actions to drive safely.

  • Always have your eyes on the road, and it is your responsibility to avoid violating traffic laws. Kia is not responsible for any traffic violation or accidents caused by you.

  • HDA may not be able to recognize all traffic situations. HDA may not detect possible collisions due to limitations of the function. Always be aware of the limitations of the function. Obstacles such as vehicles, motorcycles, bicycles, pedestrians, or unspecified objects or structures such as guardrails, tollgate, etc., that may collide with the vehicle may not be detected.

  • HDA will turn off automatically under the following situations:

    • Driving on roads that HDA does not operate, such as a service area, intersection, junction, etc.

    • The navigation system does not operate properly such as when the navigation is being updated or restarted

  • HDA may inadvertently operate or turn off depending on road conditions (navigation information) and surroundings.

  • LFA may be temporarily disabled when the front view camera cannot detect lanes properly or the hands-off warning is on.

  • You may not hear the warning sound of HDA if your surroundings are noisy.

  • If the vehicle is driven at high speed above a certain speed at a curve, your vehicle may drive to one side or may depart from the driving lane.

  • When you are towing a trailer or another vehicle, turn off HDA for safety reasons.

  • The hands–off warning message may appear early or late depending on how the steering wheel is held or road conditions. Always have your hands on the steering wheel while driving.

  • Read the owner's manual before using HDA.

  • HDA will not operate when the vehicle is started, or when the detecting sensors or navigation is being initialized.

Limitations of HDA

HDA may not operate properly, or it may not operate under the following circumstances:

  • The map information and the actual road is different because the navigation system is not updated

  • The map information and the actual road is different because of real-time GPS data or map information error

  • The infotainment system is overloaded by simultaneously performing functions such as route search, video playback, voice recognition, etc.

  • GPS signals are blocked in areas such as a tunnel

  • The driver goes off course, or reset the navigation route by changing the destination (including route change according to real-time road traffic information), or canceling the route to the destination

  • Your vehicle enters a service area or rest area

  • Android Auto or Apple Car Play is operating

  • The navigation system cannot detect your current vehicle position (for example, elevated roads including overpass adjacent to general roads or nearby roads exist in parallel)
