The driver can activate FCA by placing the ignition switch or ENGINE START/STOP button to the ON position and by selecting on the LCD display 'User Settings → Driver Assistance → Forward Safety’. If your vehicle is equipped with an infotainment system, you can learn how to setup on the website via QR code in the infotainment quick reference guide.:

• If you select "Active Assist", FCA system activates. FCA produces warning messages and warning alarms in accordance with the collision risk levels. Also, it controls the brakes in accordance with the collision risk levels.

• If you select "Warning Only", FCA system activates and produces only warning alarms in accordance with the collision risk levels. You should control the brake directly because FCA system do not control the brake.

• If you select "Off", FCA system deactivates.

The warning light illuminates on the LCD display, when you cancel FCA system. The driver can monitor FCA ON/OFF status on the LCD display. Also, the warning light illuminates when the ESC (Electronic Stability Control) is turned off. If the warning light remains ON when FCA is activated, we recommend that you have the system checked by an authorized Kia dealer/service partner.

The driver can select the initial warning activation time on the LCD display or infotainment system display.

Go to the 'User Settings → Driver Assistance → Warning Timing → Normal/Late'.

The options for the initial Forward Collision Warning includes the following:

• Normal: When this condition is selected, the initial Forward Collision Warning is activated sensitively. If you feel the warning activates too early, set Forward Collision Warning to 'Late'.

  Even though, 'Normal' is selected if the front vehicle suddenly stops the initial warning activation time may not seem fast.

• Late: When this condition is selected, the initial Forward Collision 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 'Late' when traffic is light and when driving speed is slow.

The driver can select the warning volume of Forward Collision Warning in the User Settings in the LCD display by selecting 'User Settings → Driver Assistance → Warning Volume → High/Medium/Low'.

FCA gets ready to be activated, when FCA is selected on the LCD display or infotainment system display, and when the following prerequisites are satisfied.

• The ESC (Electronic Stability Control) is on.

• Vehicle speed is over 6 mph (10 km/h). (FCA is only activated within a certain speed range.)

• The system detects a vehicle, a pedestrian or a cyclist in front, which may collide with your vehicle. (FCA may not be activated or may sound a warning alarm in accordance with the driving situation or vehicle condition.)
