Setting

Forward safety

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 you select "Active assist", FCA 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 activates and produces only warning alarms in accordance with the collision risk levels. You should control the brake directly because FCA do not control the brake.

  • If you select "Off", FCA deactivates.

The warning light illuminates on the LCD display, when you cancel FCA. 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 (Traction & Stability control disabled.).

When the warning light remains ON with FCA activated, have the function checked by a professional workshop. Kia recommends to visit an authorised Kia dealer/service partner.

Warning timing

The driver can select the initial warning activation time in the User Settings in the instrument cluster LCD display.

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

  • Normal: When this condition is selected, the initial Forward Collision Warning is activated normally.

  • 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 , pedestrian or cyclist ahead before the initial warning occurs. Select this condition only when traffic is light, and you are driving slowly.

Prerequisite for activation

FCA will activate when FCA is selected on the LCD display, and when the following prerequisites are satisfied:

  • ESC (Electronic Stability Control) is activated.

  • When FCA recognizes a vehicle or the pedestrian in front.

Warning

FCA may not recognize every obstacle or provide warnings and braking in every situation, so do not rely on FCA to stop the vehicle in instances where the driver sees an obstacle and has the ability to apply the brakes.

  • FCA automatically activates upon placing the ignition switch or ENGINE START/STOP button to the ON position. The driver can deactivate FCA by canceling the function setting on the LCD display.

  • FCA automatically deactivates upon canceling ESC. When ESC is cancelled, FCA cannot be activated on the LCD display.

    FCA warning light will illuminate.
