Highway Driving Assist is not a substitute for safe driving, may not detect all objects around the vehicle, and only functions on certain federal highways. Always drive safely and use caution. See the Owner’s Manual for more detailed information, limitations and conditions.
Highway Driving Assist (HDA)*†6a
Highway Driving Assist (HDA) is designed to adjust the speed of the vehicle when driving on limited/controlled access
highways. The system can adjust the vehicle’s speed based on available highway speed information. The automatic speed
setting mode is designed to set the speed automatically by adjusting to the current speed limits of the highway vehicle is
travelling on.
To enable HDA, go to User Settings in the Instrument cluster or the Vehicle Settings* in the audio head unit. Go to Driver
Assistance > Driving Assist > Highway Driving Assist.
To activate HDA, turn Smart Cruise Control (SCC) on by pressing the Driving Assist (Cruise) button A on the Steering
Wheel controls.
HDA will operate only when these conditions are met:
• When the SCC speed is set to current highway and controlled/limited access roads
•The vehicle is traveling slower than 110 mph

When driving on limited access highways, such as, Interstate, Federal and State freeways

When SCC is on and operating
When HDA is activated and the conditions are met, the Instrument Cluster indicator light B will illuminate green. If the
conditions are not met, HDA will be in standby mode and the indicator light B will illuminate white.
When in operation, and if both lanes are recognized, a display C will show the lanes illuminated white and the steering
wheel indicator illuminated green.
If HDA is activated, conditions are met and the SCC speed is set by the driver (at the posted highway speed limit), HDA
will enter the automatic speed setting mode. The set speed and AUTO will be displayed D in green and an audible alert
will sound.

Dual Clutch Transmission (DCT)*
Some Kia vehicles are equipped with Dual Clutch
Transmission (DCT ) for automatic transmissions.
The following are unique driving tips for the Dual
Clutch Transmission:
• To hold the vehicle stationary on an incline,
the service brake or parking brake MUST be
used or the gear shift MUST be in the (P) Park
position. If the vehicle is held stationary by
applying the accelerator pedal on a slope, the
clutch/transmission may overheat, resulting in
damage
• Avoid aggressive launches on steep grades
as this may result in an overheated clutch and
transmission
• A slight time lag may be experienced at takeoff
from standstill during aggressive acceleration
maneuvers
If the clutch is overheating, an amber warning
light* will be displayed in the instrument
clu s t er. Should this condition occur, pull over
and place the vehicle in Park and idle the
engine.
Refer to section 5 in the Owner’s Manual for additional information on DCT operation or call Kia Consumer Affairs for additional information.
