Kia Sportage: Autonomous emergency braking (AEB) / System malfunction

■ Type A

■ Type B

• When the AEB is not working properly, the AEB warning light () will illuminate 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 authorized Kia dealer.
• The AEB warning message may appear along with the illumination of the ESC warning light.

WARNING

The AEB is only a supplemental system for the driver’s convenience.

The driver still maintains responsibility to control the vehicle. Do not solely depend on the AEB system. Rather, maintain a safe braking distance, and, if necessary, depress the brake pedal to lower the driving speed.

• The AEB may unnecessarily produce warning messages and warning alarms. Due to the sensing limitation, the AEB may not produce warning messages or warning alarm at all.
• When there is a malfunction with the AEB, the braking control does not operate upon detecting a collision risk even with other braking systems normally operating.
• The AEB operates only for the vehicle / pedestrian in front, while driving forward. It does not operate for any animals or vehicles in the opposite direction.
• The AEB can not recognize crosstraffic or parked vehicles presenting a side-profile.
