Kia Optima: FCA warning message and system control / Collision Warning (1st warning)
This warning message appears on the LCD display with a warning chime. Additionally, some vehicle system intervention occurs by the engine management system to help decelerate the vehicle.
- Your vehicle speed may decelerate moderately.

a collision.
- It will operate if the vehicle speed is greater than 8 km/h (5 mph) and less than
or equal to 60 km/h (38 mph) on a forward vehicle. (Depending on the condition of
the vehicle ahead and the environment surrounding it, the possible maximum operating
speed may be reduced.)
