Kia Picanto: Rear Cross-Traffic Collision-Avoidance Assist (RCCA): (if equipped) / Rear Cross-Traffic Collision-Avoidance Assist operation

• When the operating conditions are met, the system may warn you about a vehicle approaching from behind even if the Kia Picanto is stationary.

• Instrument cluster graphics and colours may vary depending on the cluster type or selected theme.

Brake control ends when any of the following conditions involving the vehicle approaching from the rear left or right is met:

• The approaching vehicle moves outside the detection range.

• The approaching vehicle passes behind the Kia Picanto.

• The approaching vehicle is no longer moving towards your vehicle.

• The approaching vehicle slows down.

• The driver presses the brake pedal firmly enough to provide sufficient braking force.

• For safety, change the system settings only after parking the Kia Picanto in a safe location.

• If another function displays a warning message or sounds an alert, the Rear Cross-Traffic Collision-Avoidance Assist message or audible warning may not appear or sound.

• Noise around the vehicle may make the system’s audible warning difficult to hear.

• Rear Cross-Traffic Collision-Avoidance Assist may not operate if the driver presses the brake pedal to avoid a collision.

• The system may stop the vehicle suddenly. This could injure occupants or cause unsecured items to move. Wear your seat belt and secure loose objects inside the Kia Picanto.

• If Rear Cross-Traffic Collision-Avoidance Assist has a fault, the vehicle’s basic braking system will continue to operate.

• While the system is providing braking assistance, it automatically cancels braking control if the driver presses the accelerator pedal excessively.

• Rear Cross-Traffic Collision-Avoidance Assist cannot operate in every situation or prevent every collision.

• Depending on road and driving conditions, the system may warn you late or may not issue a warning.

• The driver remains responsible for controlling the Kia Picanto. Do not rely solely on this system. Maintain a safe braking distance and, when needed, press the brake pedal to slow down or stop.

• Never deliberately attempt to activate Rear Cross-Traffic Collision-Avoidance Assist near people, animals or objects. Doing so could cause serious injury or death.

Brake assistance may not work correctly, depending on the status of ESC (Electronic Stability Control). In the following situations, the system provides a warning only:

• The ESC warning light is illuminated.

• ESC is operating to control the vehicle through another function.

• If Rear Cross-Traffic Collision-Avoidance Assist applies the brakes, press the brake pedal immediately and check the area around the vehicle.

• After shifting into R (Reverse), braking assistance operates once for an approaching vehicle on each side.
