Kia Rio: Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist (FCA) system (Radar type) / System setting and activation

System setting

The driver can activate FCA system by placing the ignition switch to the ON position and by selecting 'User Settings' → 'Driver Assistance' → 'Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist (FCA) system'.

FCA system deactivates when the driver cancels the system setting.

The warning light illuminates on the LCD display, when you cancel FCA system. It illuminates even with the ESC (Electronic Stability Control) OFF. The driver can monitor the FCA ON/OFF status on the LCD display. When the warning light remains ON with FCA system activated, have the system checked by an authorized Kia dealer.

The driver can select the initial warning activation time in the User Settings in the instrument cluster LCD display. The options for the initial Forward Collision Warning system include the following:

• Early : When this condition is selected, the initial Forward Collision Warning system is activated earlier than normal. This setting maximizes the amount of distance between the vehicle ahead before the initial warning occurs. If the 'Early' condition feels too sensitive, select 'Normal' condition. Even though, 'Early' is selected if the front vehicle suddenly stops the initial warning activation time may not seem fast.
• Normal: When this condition is selected, the initial Forward Collision Warning is activated normally. This setting allows for a nominal amount of distance between the vehicle ahead before the initial warning occurs.
• Late: When this condition is selected, the initial Forward Collision Warning is activated later than normal. This setting reduces the amount of distance between the vehicle ahead before the initial warning occurs. Select 'Late' when traffic is light and when driving speed is slow.
