Kia Sportage: Driving your vehicle / Autonomous emergency braking (AEB)

The AEB system is to reduce or to avoid accident risk. It recognizes the distance from the vehicle ahead or the pedestrian through the sensors (i.e. radar and camera), and, if necessary, warns the driver of accident risk with the warning message or the warning alarms.

WARNING - Autonomous Emergency Braking (AEB) Limitations

The AEB system is a supplemental system and is not a substitute for safe driving practices. It is the responsibility of the driver to always check the speed and distance to the vehicle ahead to ensure it is safety to use the AEB system.

✽ NOTICE

Take the following precautions when using the Autonomous Emergency Braking (AEB):

• This system is only a supplemental system and it is not intended to, nor does it replace the need for extreme care and attention of the driver. The sensing range and objects detectable by the sensors are limited. Pay attention to the road conditions at all times.
• NEVER drive too fast in accordance with the road conditions or while cornering.
• Always drive cautiously to prevent unexpected and sudden situations from occurring. AEB does not stop the vehicle completely and does not avoid collisions.

• System setting and activation
• AEB warning message and system control
• Brake operation
• Sensor to detect the distance from the vehicle in front (front radar)
• System malfunction
• Limitation of the system
• Recognizing pedestrians
• Downhill Brake Control (DBC)
• Good braking practices
