If ‘Active assist’ is selected, the function will warn the driver with a warning message, an audible warning and steering wheel vibration depending on the collision risk levels.

If ‘Warning only’ is selected, the function will warn the driver with a warning message, an audible warning and steering wheel vibration depending on the collision risk levels. Braking and steering (if equipped) will not be assisted. The driver must apply the brake pedal or steer the vehicle if necessary.

If ‘Off’ is selected, the function will 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 the function is ON, have the function checked by a professional workshop. Kia recommends to
visit an authorised Kia dealer/service partner.

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

If 'Warning only' is selected, braking is not assisted.
-
Steering wheel vibration can be turned on or off. Select or deselect ‘Driver assistance → Haptic Warning’ from the Settings menu.

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 time of other Driver Assistance functions 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’, ‘Low’ or ‘Off’ for Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist. However, even if ‘Off’ is selected, the Warning volume of Forward Collision Avoidance Assist will not turn off but the volume will sound as ‘Low’.
If you change the Warning volume, the Warning volume of other Driver Assistance functions may change.
-
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 initial warning activation time may not seem late.
-
Select ‘Late’ for Warning Timing when traffic is light and when driving speed is slow.
If the engine is restarted, Warning timing and Warning volume will maintain the last setting.
