AUTONOMOUS EMERGENCY BRAKING (AEB) (IF EQUIPPED)
The AEB system is to reduce or to
avoid accident risk. It recoþnizes the
distance ýrom the vehicle ahead or the
pedestrian throuþh the sensors (i.e. ra‐
dar and camera), and, iý necessary,
warns the driver oý accident risk with
the warninþ messaþe or the warninþ
alarms.
WARNING
Take the following precautions when
using the Autonomous Emergency
Braking (AEB):
• 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. AEB does not stop
the vehicle completely and does
not avoid collisions.
System setting and activation
System setting
The driver can activate the AEB by
placinþ the iþnition switch to the ON
position and by selectinþ 'User Set‐
tinþs', 'Drivinþ Autonomous', and 'Au‐
tonomous Emerþency Brakinþ'. The
AEB deactivates, when the driver can‐
cels the system settinþ.
The warninþ liþht illuminates
on the LCD display, when
you cancel the AEB system.
The driver can monitor the AEB
ON/OFF status on the LCD display.
When the warninþ liþht remains ON
with the AEB activated, have the sys‐
tem checked by a proýessional work‐
shop. Kia recommends to visit an au‐
thorized Kia dealer/service partner.
The driver can select the initial warninþ
activation time in the User Settinþs in
the instrument cluster LCD display. The
options ýor the initial Forward Collision
Warninþ include the ýollowinþ:
• EARLY - When this condition is se‐
lected, the initial Forward
Collision Warninþ is activa‐
ted earlier than normal.
This settinþ maximizes
the amount oý distance
between the vehicle or
pedestrian ahead beýore
the initial warninþ occurs.
• NORMAL When this condition is se‐
- lected, the initial Forward
Collision Warninþ is activa‐
ted normally. This settinþ
allows ýor a nominal
amount oý distance be‐
tween the vehicle or pe‐
destrian ahead beýore the
initial warninþ occurs.
• LATE - When this condition is se‐
lected, the initial Forward
Collision Warninþ is activa‐
ted later than normal.
This settinþ reduces the
amount oý distance be‐
tween the vehicle or pe‐
