Kia Soul (SK3): Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist (FCA) system (Camera 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. Also, it controls the brakes in accordance with the collision risk levels.

Collision Warning (1st warning)

The warning message appears on the LCD display with the warning chime. Additionally, some vehicle system intervention occurs by the engine management system to help decelerate the vehicle.

• 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.)
- If you select "Warning only", the 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.

Emergency braking (2nd warning)

The warning message appears on the LCD display with the warning chime. Additionally, some vehicle system intervention occurs by the engine management system to help decelerate the vehicle.

The brake control is maximized just before a collision, reducing impact when it strikes a forward vehicle.

• 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 70 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.)

- 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.
