Kia Soul: Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist (FCA) system (Camera +Radar type) / FCA warning message and system 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 vehicle
to vehicle distance 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 User Settings
in the LCD display. 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.
- FCA controls the brakes within certain limit to release shock from the
collision.
- If you select "Warning only", FCA system activates and produces only warning
alarms in accordance with the collision risk levels. You should control the
brake directly because FCA system do not control the brake.
- The Vehicle may slow down slightly - It will operate if the vehicle speed
is greater than 10 km/h and less than or equal to 160 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
10 km/h and less than 90 km/h. (Depending on the condition of pedestrians and
bike riders and the surrounding environment the possible maximum operating speed
may be reduced.)
Emergency braking (2nd warning)
- The warning message appears on the LCD display with the warning alarms.
- 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 system activates and produces only warning
alarms in accordance with the collision risk levels. You should control the brake
directly because FCA system do not control the brake.
• 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 10 km/h and less than
or equal to 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 10
km/h and less than 70 km/h. (Depending on the condition of pedestrians and bike
riders and the surrounding environment the possible maximum operating speed may
be reduced.)
