USING THIS FEATURES & FUNCTIONS GUIDE
The information contained in this guide is a brief overview of the operation and features of your new Kia vehicle.
This Features & Functions Guide and the specific operational and safety information it provides are not a substitute for your Owner’s Manual. In the interest of your safety and that of the vehicle’s occupants, and to help you avoid risks that may result in death or serious injury, Kia reminds you to carefully read the Owner’s Manual in order to fully familiarize yourself with the important information and safety warnings it contains.
While Kia endeavors to ensure that the information contained in this guide is accurate at the time of printing, Kia may change vehicle specifications without notice in advance of or after the fact and assumes no liability in connection with such changes.
VIDEOS AND QR CODES
Kia provides a number of video resources to assist you with becoming familiar with the features and functions found in your Kia vehicle. You can access these resources by snapping the QR Codes with your mobile device using the built-in QR Code Reader or a downloaded QR Code Reader App.
After opening the QR Code Reader App on your mobile device, the app will utilize your device’s camera. Center the code in the camera viewing area — with some apps, as soon as the app recognizes the code, it will launch the corresponding video.
With other apps, you will have to snap or “take a picture” of the code. The app will then launch the corresponding video.
For operation specifics, refer to the instructions that come with your QR Code Reader App. You can also view the videos  by visiting the following website: www.youtube.com/KiaFeatureVideos
 
If you’re having trouble scanning codes, check the following:
 •  
The code should be centered and focused in your mobile  device’s camera screen
 • 
Consider moving your device closer to or far ther away from  the code
 • 
The code should be well lit, without significant shadow
 •Avoid scanning from a significant angle
 • 
Confirm that the device’s app suppor ts 2D QR Code scanning  
 • 
Tr y another QR Code Reader App; not all apps are created equal
 
After scanning, you may experience a “connection error ” message or a “connecting” message with no subsequent response. These messages t ypically indicate that your device is having trouble connecting to the Internet

Navigation-based Smart Cruise Control will help automatically adjust vehicle speed when driving on highways with posted speed 
limits by using road information from the navigation system, while Smart Cruise Control is operating 
Smart Cruise Control (SCC) is designed to maintain a predetermined distance from vehicles detected ahead by automatically 
adjusting the driving speed as needed  When traffic is detected, the vehicle will slow down to maintain a set distance behind traffic 
without depressing the accelerator or brake pedal  
Highway Curve Zone Auto Slowdown: NSCC can automatically adjust the vehicle speed when it detects a curved road ahead and 
when it receives road information from the navigation system   When NSCC detects a curve ahead, NSCC activates and reduces the 
vehicle speed, and the NAV icon changes to AUTO and turns green A in the instrument cluster  When the vehicle passes the curved 
road, the vehicle may return to its previously set speed  
Highway Auto Speed Change: If the set speed is set to the current posted speed limit on the highway during NSCC operation,  
the set speed is changed automatically whenever the posted speed limit changes and when it receives information from the 
navigation system 
SCC Operation: With SCC turned on and activated, the vehicle distance set, and the system detects a vehicle slowing or stopping, 
the system can bring the vehicle to a complete stop   When the vehicle ahead starts to move forward, SCC re-engages   If the vehicle 
ahead stops for more than 3 seconds, the accelerator pedal or the  button B must be pressed to start moving the vehicle  
SCC will adjust acceleration based on the drive mode selected in the Drive Mode Integrated Control system  
NSCC Settings:
 •NSCC can be turned on/off by going to the Vehicle Settings*  
in the Infotainment System
 •Only adjust settings when the vehicle is at a standstill, gear 
shift is in Park and the ignition is on or the Engine Start/Stop  
button* in the on position
 •To access Vehicle settings* in the Infotainment System  -
