Kia Soul (SK3) 2020-2021 Owners Manual / Driving your vehicle / Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist (FCA) system (Camera type) / Brake operation

In an urgent situation, the braking system enters into the ready status for prompt reaction to assist the driver in depressing the brake pedal.
FCA provides additional braking power for optimum braking performance, when the driver depresses the brake pedal during FCA operation.
