With the vehicle on, select User settings → Driver assistance → Driving safety on the instrument cluster or Settings → Vehicle → Driver assistance → Driving safety on the infotainment system. The initial warning activation timing of Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist can be changed.

Kia recommends that you visit an authorised Kia dealer/service partner.
