Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist setting

Setting features

Forward safety

With the ignition switch or ENGINE START/STOP button in the On position, select “User settings → Driver assistance → Forward safety” at the LCD display or infotainment system 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 and steering wheel vibration (if equipped) depending on the collision risk levels.
If ‘Warning only’ is selected, Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist will warn the driver with a warning message, an audible warning and steering wheel vibration (if equipped) depending on the collision risk levels.
If ‘Off’ is selected, Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist 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 Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist is On, have the function checked by a professional workshop. Kia recommends to visit an authorised Kia dealer/service partner.

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.
Steering wheel vibration (if equipped) can be turned on or off from the settings menu.

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 “User settings → Driver assistance → Warning timing” at the LCD display or infotainment system to change the initial warning activation time for Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist.

Warning volume

With the ignition switch or ENGINE START/STOP button in the On position, select “User settings → Driver assistance → Warning volume” at the LCD display or infotainment system to change the Warning Volume to ‘High’, ‘Medium, ‘Low’ or 'Off' (if steering wheel vibration equipped) for Forward Collision- Avoidance Assist.

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.

NOTICE

If the engine is restarted, Warning timing and Warning volume will maintain the last setting.
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 timing, the Warning timing of other Driver Assistance system may change.
