Kia Soul (SK3) 2020-2025 Owners Manual / Driving your vehicle / 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.
