Kia Sorento: Basic function

Basic functions designed to empower the Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist architecture on your Kia Sorento include:

• Collision Warning

• Emergency Braking

• Stopping vehicle and ending brake control

Collision Warning

(A) Collision Warning

Collision Warning can alert you with Forward Safety warning light blinking (), a warning message, an audible warning, and steering wheel vibration to keep you fully aware of potential hazards on the road ahead.

Collision Warning operates when the vehicle ahead moves within the following speed ranges:

• The vehicle or motorcyclist speed is approximately 6-124 mph (10-200 km/h).

• The pedestrian or cyclist speed is approximately 6-53 mph (10-85 km/h).

Emergency Braking

(A) Emergency Braking

Emergency Braking can alert you with Forward Safety warning light blinking (), a warning message, an audible warning, and steering wheel vibration.

Emergency Braking can be activated according to oncoming objects and danger levels under the following conditions:

• Vehicle or motorcyclist *:

  -	Driving target	Stopped target
  Weak braking power	6-124 mph (10-200 km/h)
  Strong braking power	6-80 mph (10-130 km/h)	6-47 mph (10-75 km/h) (6-62 mph (10-100 km/h))*

  *: If Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist determines that the driver finds it difficult to avoid a collision by changing lanes due to surrounding vehicles, it provides braking assistance sooner (if equipped).

  • The function can apply strong braking power even when driving at 10-100 km/h (6-62 mph) towards a stopped target.

• Pedestrian or cyclist: 6-40 mph (10-65 km/h)

CAUTION

• The function’s operational range may decrease due to the traffic ahead of or the surroundings of the vehicle.

• When driving at night, the ability to detect motorcycles is decreased. Thus, the Forward Collision- Avoidance Assist system may temporarily be limited or not work.

Stopping vehicle and ending brake control

(A) Drive carefully

If Emergency Braking stops your vehicle, a warning message appears on the instrument cluster.

For safety purposes, you should immediately engage the brake pedal and check the vehicle’s surroundings.

Brake control ends approximately 2 seconds after Emergency Braking stops your vehicle.

TIP

Press the hazard lights button to turn OFF the warning sound during collision warning and emergency braking.
