 Rear Cross-Traffic Collision-Avoidance Assist operation

Warning and control
Rear Cross-Traffic Collision-Avoidance Assist will warning and control the vehicle depending on collision level: ‘Collision warning’, ‘Emergency braking’ and ‘Stopping vehicle and ending brake control’.

Collision warning

•  To warn the driver of an approaching vehicle from the rear left/right side of your vehicle, the warning light on the side view mirror (outside mirror) will blink and a warning will appear on the cluster. At the same time, an audible warning will sound.
•  The function will operate when the following conditions are satisfied:
  • Your vehicle gear is shifted to R (Reverse)
  • Your driving speed is below 5 mph (8 km/h)
  • The approaching vehicle is within approximately 82 ft. (25 m) from the left and right side of your vehicle
  • The speed of the vehicle approaching from the left and right is above 3 mph (5 km/h)

NOTICE
If the operating conditions are satisfied, there will be a warning whenever the vehicle approaches from the left or right side even though your driving speed is 0 mph (0 km/h).

Emergency Brakin

• Your vehicle, the warning light on the side view mirror (outside mirror) will blink and a warning message will appear on the cluster. At the same time, an audible warning will sound.
•  The function will operate when the following conditions are satisfied: – Your vehicle gear is shifted to R (Reverse)
  • Your driving speed is below 5 mph (8 km/h)
  •  The approaching vehicle is within approximately 5 ft. (1.5 m) from the left and right side of your vehicle
  • The speed of the vehicle approaching from the left and right is above 3 mph (5 km/h)
•  Emergency braking will be assisted to help prevent collision with approaching vehicles from the left and right.

WARNING

• Brake control will end when:
  •  The approaching vehicle is out of the detecting range
  • The approaching vehicle passes behind your vehicle
  • The approaching vehicle does not drive toward your vehicle
  • The approaching vehicle speed slows down
  • The driver depresses the brake pedal with sufficient power

Stopping vehicle and ending brake control

• When the vehicle is stopped due to emergency braking, the ‘Drive care-fully’ warning message will appear on the cluster.
•  For your safety, the driver should depress the brake pedal immediately and check the surroundings.
•  Brake control will end after the vehicle is stopped by emergency braking for approximately 2 seconds.
• During emergency braking, braking control by the function will automatically cancel when the driver excessively depresses the brake pedal.

WARNING

•  For your safety, change the settings after parking the vehicle at a safe location.
•  If any other function’s warning message is displayed or audible warning is generated, Rear Cross-Traffic Collision-Avoidance Assist warning message may not be displayed and audible warning may not be generated.
• You may not hear the warning sound of Rear Cross-Traffic Collision-Avoidance Assist if the surrounding is noisy.
•  Rear Cross-Traffic Collision-Avoidance Assist may not operate if the driver applies the brake pedal to avoid collision.
•  During Rear Cross-Traffic Collision Avoidance Assist operation, the vehicle may stop suddenly injuring passengers and shifting loose objects. Always have the seat belt on and keep loose objects secured.
•  Even if there is a problem with Rear Cross-Traffic Collision-Avoidance Assist, the vehicle’s basic braking performance will operate normally.

WARNING

• During emergency braking, braking control by the function will automatically cancel when the driver excessively depresses the accelerator pedal.
•  Rear Cross-Traffic Collision Avoidance Assist does not operate in all situations or cannot avoid all collisions.
• Rear Cross-Traffic Collision Avoidance Assist may warn the driver late or may not warn the driver depending on the road and driving conditions.
• The driver should hold the responsibility to control the vehicle. Do not solely depend on Rear Cross-Traffic Collision-Avoidance Assist. Rather, maintain a safe braking distance, and if necessary, depress the brake pedal to reduce driving speed or to stop the vehicle.
  Never deliberately operate Rear Cross-Traffic Collision-Avoidance Assist on people, animal, objects, etc. It may cause serious injury or death.

CAUTION

The brake control may not operate properly depending on the status of ESC (Electronic Stability Control). There will only be a warning when:

• The ESC (Electronic Stability Control) warning light is on
• ESC (Electronic Stability Control) is engaged in a different function

NOTICE

The driver must immediately depress the brake pedal and check vehicle’s surroundings.

• Brake control will end when the driver depresses the brake pedal with sufficient power.
• After shifting the gear to R (Reverse), braking control will operate once for left and right vehicle approach.

 Rear Cross-Traffic Collision-Avoidance Assist malfunction and limitations

When Rear Cross-Traffic Collision-Avoidance Assist is not working properly, the ‘Check Rear Cross-Traffic Safety system’ warning message will appear on the cluster, and the function will turn off automatically or the function will be limited. In this case, have your vehicle inspected by an authorized Kia dealer.

When the side view mirror (outside mirror) warning light is not working properly, the ‘Check side view mirror warning light’ warning message will appear on the cluster. In this case, have your vehicle inspected by an authorized Kia dealer.

Rear Cross-Traffic Collision-Avoidance Assist disabled

When the rear bumper around the rear corner radar or sensor is covered with foreign matters, such as snow or rain, or installing a trailer or carrier, it can reduce the detecting performance and temporarily limit or disable Rear Cross-Traffic Collision-Avoidance Assist. If this occurs, the ‘Rear Cross-Traffic Safety disabled. Radar blocked’ warning message will appear on the cluster. It is not a malfunction. The function will operate normally when such foreign matters or trailer, etc. is removed.
Always keep the rear bumper around the rear corner radar clean.
If the function does not operate normally after it is removed, have the function be inspected by an authorized Kia dealer.

WARNING

• Even though the warning message does not appear on the cluster, Rear Cross-Traffic Collision-Avoidance Assist may not properly operate.
• Rear Cross-Traffic Collision-Avoidance Assist may not properly operate in an area (e.g. open terrain), where any substance are not detected after turning ON the engine.

CAUTION
Turn off Rear Cross-Traffic Collision-Avoidance Assist to install a trailer, carrier, etc., and remove the trailer, carrier, etc. to use Rear Cross-Traffic Collision-Avoidance Assist.
