Kia Stinger: Forward Collision-avoidance Assist (FCA) / System malfunction

• When the FCA is not working properly, the FCA warning light () will illuminate and the warning message will appear for a few seconds. After the message disappears, the master warning light () will illuminate. In this case, have the vehicle inspected by an authorized Kia dealer.
• The FCA warning message may appear along with the illumination of the ESC warning light.

WARNING

The FCA is only a supplemental system for the driver’s convenience. It is the driver's responsibility to control the vehicle. Do not solely depend on the FCA system. Rather, maintain a safe braking distance, and, if necessary, depress the brake pedal to lower the driving speed.

• Due to sensing limitation, the FCA may not produce warning messages or warning alarms in certain situations. Read the section "Limitation of the system" for more information.
• When there is a malfunction with the FCA, the automatic braking control does not operate even with other braking systems normally operating.
• The FCA only recognizes vehicles and pedestrians in front of it while driving forward. It does not identify any animals or vehicles in the opposite direction.
• The FCA can not recognize crosstraffic or parked vehicles presenting a sideprofile.
• The FCA system may not activate if the driver applies the brake pedal to avoid the risk of a collision.
• The FCA system does not operate when the vehicle is in reverse. In these cases, you must maintain a safe braking distance, and if necessary, depress the brake pedal to reduce the driving speed.
