Kia Cadenza: Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist (FCA) / FCA warning message and control

FCA produces warning messages and warning alarms in accordance with the collision risk levels of followings like vehicle’s sudden braking in front or lack of headway or collision to pedestrians or cyclist. Also, it controls the brakes in accordance with the collision risk levels.

The driver can select the initial warning activation time in the Settings menu in the Infotainment System screen. The options for the initial Forward Collision Warning include Normal or Late initial warning time.

Collision Warning (1st warning)

• The warning message appears on the LCD display with the warning alarms.
• The Vehicle may slow down slightly
  - It will operate if the vehicle speed is greater than 6 mph (10 km/h) and less than or equal to 110 mph (180 km/h) on a forward vehicle. (Depending on the condition of the vehicle ahead and the environment surrounding it, the possible maximum operating speed may be reduced.)
  - For pedestrians and cyclists, the vehicle speed is greater than or equal to 6 mph (10 km/h) and less than 45 mph (70 km/h). (Depending on the condition of pedestrians and bike riders and the surrounding environment the possible maximum operating speed may be reduced.)
• FCA controls the brakes within certain limit to release shock from the collision.
  - If you select “Warning Only”, FCA activates and produces only warning alarms in accordance with the collision risk levels. You should control the brake directly because FCA do not control the brake.

Emergency Braking (2nd warning)

• The warning message appears on the LCD display with the warning alarms.
• The brake control is maximized just before a collision, reducing impact when it strikes a forward vehicle.
  - It will operate if the vehicle speed is greater than 6 mph (10 km/h) and less than or equal to 50 mph (80 km/h) on a forward vehicle. (Depending on the condition of the vehicle ahead and the environment surrounding it, the possible maximum operating speed may be reduced.)
  - For pedestrians and cyclists, the vehicle speed is greater than or equal to 6 mph (10 km/h) and less than 45 mph (70 km/h). (Depending on the condition of pedestrians and bike riders and the surrounding environment the possible maximum operating speed may be reduced.)
• FCA controls the brakes within certain limit to release shock from the collision.
  FCA controls the maximum brakes just before the collision.
  - If you select “Warning Only”, FCA activates and produces only warning alarms in accordance with the collision risk levels. You should control the brake directly because FCA do not control the brake.
