Kia Soul: 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.

before collision, due to ambient, weather and road conditions. The driver has the
responsibility to drive safely and control the vehicle.

the vehicle/passer-by in front, the speed of the vehicle/passer-by in front, and
