Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist (Fca); System Setting And Activation - Kia E-Soul Owner's Manual

Driving your vehicle
FORWARD COLLISION-AVOIDANCE ASSIST (FCA) (CAMERA+RADAR TYPE) (IF EQUIPPED)
The FCA system is to reduce or to avoid
accident risk. It recognizes the distance
from the vehicle ahead, the pedestrian
or the cyclist through the sensors (i.e.
radar and camera), and, if necessary,
warns the driver of accident risk with
the warning message or the warning
alarms.
❈ Camera+radar type FCA system
operates for the vehicle ahead, the
pedestrians or the cyclist in front.
WARNING
Take the following precautions when
using the forward collision-avoid‐
ance assist (FCA):
• This system is only a supplemen‐
tal system and it is not intended
to, nor does it replace the need for
extreme care and attention of the
driver. The sensing range and ob‐
jects detectable by the sensors are
limited. Pay attention to the road
conditions at all times.
• NEVER drive too fast in accordance
with the road conditions or while
cornering.

• Always drive cautiously to prevent
unexpected and sudden situations
from occurring. FCA does not stop
the vehicle completely and does
not avoid collisions.
