FCA malfunction
When the FCA is not working prop
-
erly, the FCA warning light ()
will illuminate and the warning mes
-
sage will appear for a few seconds.
After the message disappears, the
master warning light () will illu
-
minate. In this case, take your vehi
-
cle to an authorized Kia dealer and
have the system checked.
The FCA warning message may
appear along with the illumination
of the Electronic Stability Control
(ESC) warning light.
The FCA is only a supplemental
system for the driver's conve
-
nience. The driver should hold the
responsibility to control the vehi
-
cle operation. Do not solely
depend on the FCA system.
Rather, maintain a safe braking
distance, and, if necessary, utilize
the brake pedal to reduce the
driving speed.
In certain instances and under
certain driving conditions, the FCA
system may activate uninten
-
tionally. This initial warning mes
-
sage appears on the LCD display
with a warning chime. Also, in cer
-
tain instances the front radar
sensor or camera recognition sys
-
tem may not detect the vehicle,
pedestrian or cyclist (if equipped)
ahead. The FCA system may not
activate and the warning mes
-
sage will not be displayed.
Even if there is any problem with
the brake control function of the
FCA system, the vehicle's basic
braking performance will operate
normally. However, brake control
function for avoiding collision will
not activate.
If the vehicle in front stops sud
-
denly, you may have less control
of the brake system. Therefore,
always keep a safe distance
between your vehicle and the
vehicle in front of you.
