Below is an excerpt from the Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) Reference Guide. Continuing this week, Kia University wants you to get comfortable with the ADAS technology that will help your customers avoid collisions.
FORWARD COLLISION WARNING* (FCW)
Designed to detect a vehicle in front and in certain conditions, can calculate the distance and closing speed, and issues an alert to warn the driver if it senses a potential frontal collision.
FORWARD COLLISION-AVOIDANCE ASSIST* (FCA)
Builds on FCW* by assisting the driver in braking to help prevent a collision or lessen the effects in certain conditions if a vehicle or pedestrian is detected in front.
SMART CRUISE CONTROL* (SCC)
Designed to adapt to the driving environment by automatically applying the brakes, or accelerator, to help maintain a predetermined distance from a vehicle it detects in front
SMART CRUISE CONTROL WITH STOP & GO* (SCC W/ S&G)
Builds on SCC* by being able to bring the vehicle to a full stop and resuming when traffic resumes within 3 seconds of stopping.
