Kia Soul (SK3): Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist (FCA) system (Camera +Radar 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.
  • The braking control is automatically deactivated, when the driver sharply depresses the accelerator pedal, or when the driver abruptly operates the steering wheel.
  • The braking control is automatically canceled, when risk factors disappear.

CAUTION

The driver should always pay great caution to vehicle operation, even though there is no warning message or warning alarm.

WARNING

FCA cannot avoid all collisions. FCA might not completely stop the vehicle before collision, due to ambient, weather and road conditions. The driver has the responsibility to drive safely and control the vehicle.

WARNING

FCA operates in accordance with the risk levels, such as the distance from the vehicle/passer-by in front, the speed of the vehicle/passer-by in front, and the driver's vehicle operation.

For the system to activate, do not attempt risky driving.

    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 vehicle to vehicle distance or collision to pedestrians or cyclist.

    In order for FCA system to operate properly, always make sure the sensor cover or sensor is clean and free of dirt, snow, and debris. Dirt, snow, or foreign substances on the lens may adversely affect the sensing performance of the sensor.
