1. Press the Driving Assist button, to turn Smart Cruise Control on.

   The CRUISE indicator in the instrument cluster will illuminate.

2. Accelerate to the desired speed. The Smart Cruise Control speed can be set as follows:

   • 10 km/h (5 mph) ~ 180 km/h (110 mph): when there is no vehicle in front

   • 0 km/h (0 mph) ~ 180 km/h (110 mph): when there is a vehicle in front

   

3. Push the SET- switch down and release it at the desired speed.

   The set speed and vehicle distance on the LCD screen will illuminate.

4. Release the accelerator pedal. The desired speed will automatically be maintained.

If there is a vehicle in front of you, the speed may decrease to maintain the distance to the vehicle ahead.

On a steep grade, the vehicle may slow down or speed up slightly whilst going uphill or downhill vehicle speed may decrease on an upward slope and increase on a downward slope.

The speed will be set to 30 km/h when there is a vehicle ahead and your vehicle speed is 0~30 km/h.

Also, the speed will be set to 30 km/h when there is no vehicles ahead and your vehicle speed is 10~30 km/h.

• The vehicle will maintain the set speed, when the lane ahead is clear.

• The vehicle will slow down or speed up to maintain the selected distance, when there is a vehicle ahead of you in the lane. (A vehicle will appear in front of your vehicle in the LCD display only when there is an actual vehicle in front of you.)

• If the vehicle ahead speeds up, your vehicle will travel at a steady cruising speed after accelerating to the selected speed.

• If distance from the front vehicle has been changed due to accelerating or decelerating of front vehicle, the distance on the LCD may be changed.

Follow either of these procedures:

• Push the RES+ switch up and hold it.

  Your vehicle set speed will increase by 10 km/h (5 mph).

  Release the switch at the speed you want.

• Push the RES+ switch up and release it immediately.

  The set speed will increase by 1 km/h (1 mph) each time you push the RES+ switch up in this manner.

• You can set the speed to 180 km/h (110 mph).

CAUTION

Check the driving condition before using the RES+ switch. Driving speed sharply increases, when you push up and hold the RES+ switch.

Follow either of these procedures:

• Push the SET- switch down and hold it.

  Your vehicle set speed will decrease by 10 km/h (5 mph).

  Release the switch at the speed you want.

• Push the SET- switch down and release it immediately.

  The set speed will decrease by 1 km/h (1 mph) each time you push the SET- switch down in this manner.

• You can set the speed to 30 km/h (20 mph).

If you want to speed up temporarily when Cruise Control is on, depress the accelerator pedal. Increased speed will not interfere with Cruise Control operation or change the set speed.

To return to the set speed:

• Take your foot off the accelerator.

  If you push the SET- switch down at increased speed, the increased cruising speed will be set again.

NOTICE

Be careful when accelerating temporarily, because the speed is not controlled automatically at this time even if there is a vehicle in front of you.

Smart Cruise Control is temporarily cancelled when the brake pedal is depressed or the O button is pressed. Depress the brake pedal and press the O button at the same time, when the vehicle is at a standstill. The speed and vehicle to vehicle distance indicator on the cluster is disappeared and the CRUISE indicator is illuminated continuously.

• The vehicle speed is over 190 km/ h (120 mph).

• The driver starts driving by pushing the RES+ switch up/SET- switch down after the vehicle is stopped by Smart Cruise Control with no other vehicle ahead.

Each of these actions will cancel the smart cruise control operation. (the set speed and vehicle to vehicle distance on the LCD display will go off.)

In a condition the smart cruise control is cancelled automatically, Smart Cruise Control will not resume even though the RES+ or SET- switch is moved.

In a condition Smart Cruise Control is cancelled automatically when the vehicle stops, the EPB will activate and the parking brake will be locked.

CAUTION

If Smart Cruise Control is cancelled by other than the reasons mentioned, have the function checked by a professional workshop. Kia recommends to visit an authorised Kia dealer/service partner.

CAUTION

If the function is automatically cancelled, the warning chime will sound and a message will appear for a few seconds. You must adjust the vehicle speed by depressing the accelerator or brake pedal according to the road condition ahead and driving condition. Always check the road conditions. Do not rely on the warning chime.

If any method other than the Driving Assist button was used to cancel cruising speed and the function is still activated, the cruising speed will automatically resume when you push the RES+ switch up.

If you push the RES+ switch up, the speed will resume to the recently set speed. However, if vehicle speed drops below 10 km/h (5 mph), it will resume when there is a vehicle in front of your vehicle.

NOTICE

To reduce the risk of an accident, always check the road conditions when reactivating Smart Cruise Control using the RES+ switch to ensure the road conditions permit safe use of Cruise Control.

• Press the Driving Assist button. (the Driving Assist indicator in the instrument cluster will go off). When Smart Cruise Control is not needed, press the Driving Assist button and deactivate Smart Cruise Control.

NOTICE

The mode changes, as below, whenever the Driving Assist button is pressed.
