Kia Soul (SK3): Rear Cross-traffic Collision Warning (RCCW) system / Rear Cross-traffic Collision-avoidance Assist (RCCA) system / System setting and activation

System setting

  • The driver can activate the systems by placing the ignition switch to the ON position and by selecting "User Settings Driver assistance Blind-spot safety Rear Cross- Traffic Safety'. RCCA and RCCW turn on and get ready to be activated when 'Rear Cross-Traffic safety' is selected.
  • When the engine is turned off then on again, the systems always get ready to be activated.
  • When the system is initially turned on and when the engine is turned off then on again, the warning light will illuminate for 3 seconds on the outside rearview mirror.

The driver can select the initial warning activation time in the AVN by selecting "User Settings Driver assistance Warning timing". The options for the initial Rear Cross-Traffic Collision Warning includes the following:

- Normal:

When this condition is selected, the initial Rear Cross-Traffic Collision Warning is activated normally. If this setting feels too sensitive change the option to 'late'.

The warning activation time may feel late if the side/rear vehicle abruptly accelerates.

- Later:

Select this warning activation time when the traffic is light and you are driving in a low speed. However, if you change the warning activation time, the warning activation time of vehicle's other system may also change. Check the warning activation time before changing it.

The driver can select the warning volume of the Rear Cross-Traffic Collision Warning by selecting "User Settings Driver assistance Warning volume High/Medium/ Low". However, if you change the warning volume, the warning volume of vehicle's other system may also change.
