WARNING

• Do not use the FCA system when towing a vehicle. Cancel the FCA in the User Settings on the LCD display before towing. Brake application by the FCA system while towing may adversely affect your safety.
• Use extreme caution when the vehicle in front of you has cargo that extends rearward from the cab, or when the vehicle in front of you has higher ground clearance.
• The FCA system is designed to detect and monitor the vehicle ahead or detect a pedestrian in the roadway through radar signals and camera recognition. It is not designed to detect bicycles, motorcycles, or smaller wheeled objects such as luggage bags, shopping carts, or strollers.
• The FCA system may not operate in certain situations. Therefore, never test the operation of the FCA system using a person or object, as doing so may cause severe injury or even death.

✽ NOTICE

• When replacing or reinstalling the windscreen, front bumper or radar/camera after removal, have the vehicle inspected by an authorized Kia dealer.
• In some instances, the FCA system may be canceled when subjected to electromagnetic interference.
