Kia Optima: Forward Collision-avoidance Assist (FCA) system / Brake operation
- In an urgent situation, the FCA system applies the brakes.
- The FCA provides additional braking power for optimum braking performance, when the driver depresses the brake pedal.
- The braking control is automatically deactivated, when the driver sharply depresses the accelerator pedal, or when the driver abruptly operates the steering wheel.
- The FCA brake control is automatically canceled, when risk factors disappear.
CAUTION
The driver should always pay great caution to vehicle operation, even though there is no warning message or warning alarm. The warning of the FCA system may not sound while other system warning sounds.
WARNING
The FCA cannot avoid all collisions. The braking control cannot completely stop the vehicle. The driver is responsible to safely drive and control the vehicle.
WARNING
The FCA system logic assesses the risk of a collision by monitoring several variables, such as the distance from the vehicle ahead, the speed of the vehicle ahead, and the driver's vehicle speed. Certain conditions, such as inclement weather and road conditions, may affect the operation of the FCA system.
WARNING
Never deliberately drive dangerously to activate the system.
