Forward Safety

OMQ4AH050344

With the ignition switch or ENGINE START/STOP button in the On position, select 'Settings → Driver Assistance → Forward Safety' on the instrument cluster or 'Settings → Vehicle → Driver Assistance → Forward Safety' on the 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 and 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, Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist will warn the driver with a warning message and an audible warning and steering wheel vibration (if equipped) depending on the collision risk levels. Braking will not be assisted. The driver must apply the brake pedal if necessary.

  • If 'Off' is selected, Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist will be turned off. The warning light will appear 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, 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, 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.

NOTE

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 appear on the cluster.
