Kia Forte: Forward Collision-avoidance Assist (FCA) / Brake operation
- In an emergency situation, the braking system enters in ready status for prompt reaction upon the driver depressing the brake pedal.
- The FCA system provides additional braking power for optimum braking performance when the driver depresses the brake pedal.
- The braking control is automatically deactivated when the driver sharply depresses the accelerator pedal or when the driver abruptly operates the steering wheel.
- The braking control is automatically cancelled when risk factors disappear.
CAUTION
The driver should always exercise great caution during vehicle operation, even though there is no warning message or warning alarm.
WARNING
The FCA system is a supplemental system and cannot completely stop the vehicle in all situations and avoid all collisions. It is the responsibility of the driver to drive safely and control the vehicle.
WARNING
The FCA system assesses the risk of a collision by monitoring several variables, such as the distance to the vehicle ahead, the speed of the vehicle ahead, and the driver's operation of the vehicle.
Certain conditions such as inclement weather, road conditions, and systems limitations may affect the operation of the FCA system.
WARNING
Never deliberately drive dangerously to activate the system as such conduct increases the risk of an accident.
The FCA system produces warning messages, warning alarms, and emergency braking based on the risk of a frontal collision, such as when a vehicle ahead suddenly brakes.
The sensor is designed to maintain a certain distance from the front end of the vehicle. However, a sensor covered or dirty with foreign substances, such as dirt or snow, adversely affects the sensing performance.
