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)' menu to set whether or not to use each function.

  • If 'Active Assist' is selected, the function will warn the driver with a warning message, an audible warning and steering wheel vibration (if equipped) depending on the collision risk levels. Braking assist will be applied depending on the collision risk.

  • If 'Warning Only' is selected, the function will warn the driver with a warning message, an audible warning and steering wheel vibration (if equipped) depending on the collision risk levels. Braking will not be assisted.

  • If 'Off' is selected, the function will be turned 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, we recommend that the function be inspected by an authorized 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, the Forward Collision 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 on the cluster.

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)' 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.

CAUTION
  • The setting of the Warning Timing 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 seem late.

  • Select 'Late' for Warning Timing when traffic is light and when driving speed is slow.

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)' 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 functions 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 initial warning activation time 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.
