• When the AEB is not working proper‐
ly, the AEB warning light ( ) will illu‐
minate and the warning message will
appear for a few seconds. After the
message disappears, the master
warning light ( ) will illuminate. In
this case, we recommend you to have
the vehicle inspected by an author‐
ized Kia dealer.
• The AEB warning message may ap‐
pear along with the illumination of
the ESC warning light.
WARNING
• The AEB is only a supplemental
system for the driver’s conven‐
ience. The driver should hold the
responsibility to control the vehicle
operation. Do not solely depend on
the AEB system. Rather, maintain
a safe braking distance, and, if
necessary, depress the brake ped‐
al to lower the driving speed.
(Continued)
(Continued)
• The AEB may unnecessarily pro‐
duce the warning message and the
warning alarms. Also, due to the
sensing limitation, the AEB may
not produce the warning message
and the warning alarm at all.
• When there is a malfunction with
the AEB, the braking control does
not operate upon detecting a colli‐
sion risk even with other braking
systems normally operating.
• The AEB operates only for the ve‐
hicle / pedestrian in front, while
driving forward. It does not oper‐
ate for any animals or vehicles in
the opposite direction.
• The AEB does not recognize the
vehicle, which horizontally drives
across the crossroad, or the vehi‐
cle, which is parked in the horizon‐
tal direction.
Limitation of the system
The AEB is an assistant system for a
driver in a certain risky driving condition
and it does not take every responsibili‐
ty for all risks from driving condition.
The AEB monitors the driving situations
through the radar and the camera sen‐
sor. Thus, for a situation out of the
sensing range, the AEB may not nor‐
mally operate. The driver should pay
great caution in the following situa‐
tions. The AEB operation may be limi‐
ted.
Recognizing vehicles
-
The radar or the camera is contami‐
nated with foreign substances.
-
It heavily rains or snows.
-
There is interruption by electric
waves.
-
There is severe irregular reflection
from the radar.
-
The vehicle in front has a narrow
body. (i.e. motor cycle and bicycle)
-
The driver’s view is unclear due to
the backlight, the reflected light, or
darkness.
-
The camera cannot contain the full
image of the vehicle in front.
