■ 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.
