Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist setting

Forward Safety

With the ignition switch or ENGINE START/STOP button in the ON position, select 'Driver Assistance → Forward Safety' from the 'User Settings (LCD display) or Setup → Vehicle (Infotainment System screen)' menu to set whether to use each function.

If ‘Active Assist’ is selected, Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist will warn the driver with a warning message, an audible warning depending on the collision risk levels. Braking assist will be applied depending on the collision risk.
If ‘Warning Only’ is selected, Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist will warn the driver with a warning message, an audible warning depending on the collision risk levels. Braking will not be assisted. The driver must apply the brake pedal if necessary.
If ‘Off’ is selected, Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist will be off. The warning light will illuminate on the cluster.

The driver can monitor Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist On/Off status from the settings menu. If the warning light remains on when Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist is on, have the vehicle inspected by an authorized Kia dealer.

WARNING

When the engine is restarted, Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist will always turn on.
If 'Off' is selected from the settings menu, Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist will not operate so the driver should always be aware of the surroundings and drive safely.

CAUTION

If 'Warning Only' is selected, braking is not assisted.

NOTICE

Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist will turn off when ESC is turned off by pressing and holding the ESC OFF button and the warning light will illuminate.

Warning Timing

With the ignition switch or ENGINE START/STOP button in the ON position, select 'Driver Assistance → Warning Timing' from the 'User Settings (LCD display) or Setup → Vehicle (Infotainment System screen)' menu to change the initial warning activation time for Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist.

When the vehicle is first delivered, Warning Timing is set to ‘Normal’. If you change the Warning Timing, the Warning Timing of other Driver Assistance systems may change.

Warning Volume

With the ignition switch or ENGINE START/STOP button in the ON position, select 'Driver Assistance → Warning Volume' from the 'User Settings (LCD display) or Setup → Vehicle (Infotainment System screen)' menu to change the Warning Volume to 'High', 'Medium' or 'Low' for Forward Collision- Avoidance Assist.

If you change the Warning Volume, the Warning Volume of other Driver Assistance systems may change.

CAUTION

The setting of the Warning Timing and Warning Volume applies to all functions of Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist.
Even though ‘Normal’ is selected for Warning Timing, if the front vehicle suddenly stops, the warning may seem late.
Select ‘Late’ for Warning Timing when traffic is light and when driving speed is slow.
