VOICE RECOGNITION
1
AND BLUETOOTH
®2
Using Voice Recognition
Improve Bluetooth
®
Voice Recognition (VR) performance
by making a few simple changes to your phone contacts:
• Use full names (first and last names) vs. short
or single syllable names (“John Smith” vs. “Dad,”
“Smith Residence” vs. “Home”).
• Avoid using special characters, emojis, and hyphenated
names (@, &, #, /, -, *, +, etc.).
• Avoid using acronyms (“Emergency” vs. “ICE” or “In
Case of Emergency”) or words with all capital letters.
• Spell words completely; system will not recognize
abbreviations (“Doctor Smith” vs. “Dr. Smith”).
• Always wait for the beep before speaking
any commands.
• When using VR to place a call, speak in a natural,
moderate tone, with clear pronunciation. The system
may have trouble recognizing commands if you speak
too softly or too loudly.
• Open windows, sunroof, weather (wind/rain), or an
A/C fan operating at higher speeds can interfere with
VR accuracy.
• Your VR system may have difficulty understanding
some accents or uncommon names.
• Press the talk button and say “Help” to get a list of
available commands.
Pairing or Connecting Your Phone with Bluetooth
®2
• Press the Phone hard key (if equipped) or “Call” button
on the steering wheel to begin the pairing process if
no phone has previously been paired.
• During the pairing process, please make sure you
accept all requests for phonebook download and
future auto-connection on your phone.
• To pair a second phone or subsequent phones, reference
the manuals and guides supplied with your K900 as
steps vary by radio.
• If you experience any issues with auto-connection, try
the following:
• Reboot your phone (turn the phone off and then on).
• Update the phone operating system to the most
recently released version.
• Delete the phone from the list of Bluetooth
®
devices
on the UVO display
1
and delete UVO from the list of
Bluetooth
®
devices on your phone, and re-pair.
• Ensure the phone has the Bluetooth
®
feature
activated.
• If some contacts are not downloading to the UVO
display, check to confirm that the contact has been
entered correctly and that it has been stored under
the categories (HOME, MOBILE, WORK, iPhone
®3
)
that are supported by the UVO display. Some
contact categories (MAIN, PAGER, OTHER) may not
be supported. If the number of contacts exceeds
the maximum number allowed on the UVO display,
contacts will be partially downloaded. Ensure that
only the “phone contact list” is selected for contact
download on your phone (not social media or email
contact lists as these contacts may not download to
the UVO display).
• Phone operating systems change frequently and some
phones may have varying compatibility levels with the
Bluetooth
®
system. For any questions regarding the
features of your vehicle, please contact your preferred
Kia dealer or contact Kia Consumer Assistance at
1-800-333-4542.
Other Bluetooth
®2
Tips
• Bluetooth
®
reception is affected by carrier coverage
and is dependent on the phone.
• If streaming audio through Bluetooth
®
from a device,
ensure the listening volume on the device is turned up.

HEAD-UP DISPLAY (HUD)
5
The Head-Up Display (HUD) is a transparent display that projects a snippet of information
from the instrument cluster and navigation onto the windshield glass. To turn HUD ON or
OFF, go to User Settings in the Audio head unit.
HUD information may display:
• Turn By Turn (TBT)
navigation information
• Road signs
• Speedometer
• Cruise setting speed
• Smart Cruise Control (SCC) information
6
• A/V mode information
• Blind-Spot Collision Warning (BCW)
system information
6
• Warning lights (low fuel)
Reminder:
If Turn By Turn (TBT) navigation information is selected as HUD content, TBT information
will not be displayed on the LCD.
BLIND-SPOT COLLISION-AVOIDANCE ASSIST (BCA)
6
The BCA system uses radar sensors in the rear bumper to help monitor, and
can warn the driver if it detects an approaching vehicle in the driver’s blind spot
area. The light on the BCA button
A
will illuminate when turned ON.
The system will become active when the vehicle is traveling more than 20 mph
and will alert the driver if another vehicle is detected by the radar sensor.
1st-stage alert: When another vehicle is detected within the BCA System warning
boundary, a yellow indicator will illuminate on the outside rearview mirrors.
2nd-stage alert: When the 1st-stage alert is on and the driver activates a turn
signal, a flashing yellow indicator will illuminate on the outside rearview mirrors
and the system will sound an alert.
The BCA system may apply braking power if the vehicle is traveling more than
40 mph and the turn indicator is on when the approaching vehicle is detected
within a certain distance next to and/or behind your vehicle.
Reminder:
• The BCA system will not issue a warning if the vehicle speed is 6 mph or more above
the surrounding vehicles.
• When the BCA system is ON and the ignition is cycled, the BCA system returns to ON.
BLIND-SPOT VIEW MONITOR (BVM)
6
The Blind-Spot View Monitor (BVM) system displays the passenger-side rear areas in the
cluster when the system is activated. To turn the BVM system on, go to the User Settings
in the audio control unit. The BVM system is activated when the ignition switch is turned to
the ON position and the turn signal is activated.
To deactivate the BVM system:
• Deactivate the turn signal.
• Turn the ignition switch to the OFF position.
LANE KEEPING ASSIST (LKA)
6
/ LANE DEPARTURE WARNING (LDW)
6
With the Engine Start/Stop button in the ON position, press the LKA/LDW button
A
to turn
the system ON. The instrument cluster indicator will initially illuminate white. It will remain
white when the vehicle is traveling less than 40 mph and the system does not detect lane
markers. When the system detects lane markers and can assist the steering, the LKA icon
will illuminate green.
If the LKA detects that you are moving outside of your lane, the system may give an
audible warning and display an LDW alert on the instrument cluster. If the vehicle continues
to move outside of the lane, the LKA may apply a slight adjustment to the steering, trying
to prevent the vehicle from moving outside its lane.
LKA is the operating mode by default when the LKA button is depressed to ON. To switch
between modes (Active LKA and Lane Departure), go to User Settings in the audio control unit.
All systems will operate under the following conditions:
• The vehicle exceeds approximately 40 mph.
• The LKA system recognizes both sides of the lane markers the vehicle is traveling in.
• The vehicle is between the lane markers.
DRIVER ATTENTION WARNING (DAW)
7
The DAW system is designed to help detect certain inattentive driving practices and, in
certain situations, can give a warning signal to the driver to take a break from driving. The
DAW system is set to ON by default. To turn the DAW System OFF, go to Vehicle Settings
on the audio head unit. Select Vehicle > Driver Assistance > Driver Attention Warning. Set
the DAW System to Normal, High Sensitivity or Off.
Driver Attention Warning (DAW) system modes:
Off: The Driver Attention Warning system is deactivated.
Normal Sensitivity: The Driver Attention Warning system alerts the driver if it detects
inattentive driving practices.
High Sensitivity: The Driver Attention Warning system alerts the driver faster than Normal
mode if it detects inattentive driving practices.
If the DAW system is activated, the DAW information will appear on the LCD Display
when you select the ASSIST mode. When the driver’s attention level is below one bar, the
message “Consider taking a break” appears on the LCD display and a warning sounds to
suggest the driver take a break.
REAR CROSS-TRAFFIC COLLISION AVOIDANCE ASSIST (RCCA)
6
If the RCCA system sensors detect vehicles approaching from the left or right side, the
system will sound an audible alert, the warning indicators on the outside rearview mirror
will illuminate, and a message will appear on the LCD screen under these conditions:
• When the vehicle is in Reverse
• When the vehicle is moving less than 6 mph
The RCCA system can be deactivated/reactivated through the audio head unit screen.
For illustration purposes only.
Your actual display may vary.
