Highway Driving Assist (HDA)*†7
Highway Driving Assist (HDA) is designed to adjust the speed of the vehicle when driving on limited/
controlled access highways/freeways. 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 the vehicle is traveling on.
To activate HDA, turn Smart Cruise Control (SCC) on by pressing the Driving Assist CRUISE /
Driving Assist Mode button* A on the Steering Wheel. When HDA is activated and the
conditions are met, the Instrument Cluster indicator 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, the Instrument Cluster will show the lanes illuminated
white and the HDA indicator illuminated green B.
If HDA is activated, conditions are met and the SCC speed is set by the driver (at the posted
highway speed limit or slower), HDA will enter the automatic speed setting mode. The set speed
and AUTO will be displayed C in green and an audible alert will sound.
HDA will operate only when these conditions are met:
• The vehicle is traveling slower than 95 mph or the highway speed limit
• When driving on limited/controlled access highways/freeways
• When the SCC is on and operating
• When the SCC speed is set to current posted highway speed or slower
HDA User Settings:
To enable HDA, press the Mode button D on the Steering Wheel and go to User Settings
in the Instrument Cluster. Press the Move (OK ) button E up/down and press to Driver Assistance,
then Driving Assist, Highway Driving Assist. Then press the OK button E to enable.
Some models access settings through the Vehicle Settings in the audio head unit. Press the Setup
hard key on the audio head unit, then press VEHICLE on the screen to enter Vehicle Settings.
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 section 5 in the Owner’s Manual for more detailed information, limitations and conditions.

Driver Attention Warning (DAW) Video
Driver Attention Warning is not a substitute for safe driving and may not detect all instances of inattentive driving practices. Failure to pay attention to travel conditions and vehicle operation could result in loss of vehicle control. Always drive safely and use caution.
Refer to section 5 in the Owner’s Manual for more information.
Driver Attention Warning is designed to alert the driver if it detects inattentive driving practices and, in certain situations, can give
a warning signal to take a break from driving. There are three modes:
• Normal Sensitivity: Driver Attention Warning warns the driver of his/her inattentive driving practices
• High Sensitivity: Driver Attention Warning warns the driver of his/her inattentive driving practices faster than Normal mode
• Off: Driver Attention Warning is deactivated
If DAW is activated, the DAW information A will appear on the Instrument Cluster LCD when you select the Driving Assist menu
in User Settings . A message, “Consider taking a break,” B appears on the LCD and a warning sounds to suggest the driver to
take a break when the driver’s attention level becomes low.
DAW User Settings:
To turn DAW on/off, with the ignition on, press the Mode button C on the Steering Wheel and go to User Settings in the
Instrument Cluster. Then go to Driver Assistance and select Driver Attention Warning. Set DAW to Normal Sensitivity, High
Sensitivity of Off.
• Some models access settings through the Vehicle Settings in the audio head unit. Press
the Setup hard key on the audio head unit, then press VEHICLE on the screen to enter
Vehicle Settings
REMINDERS:
•
The setup of DAW will be maintained, as selected, when the ignition is cycled
•
When activated, DAW does not display “Consider taking a break” message when the total trip driving time is less than 10 minutes
•
DAW will enter a standby mode if the camera does not detect the lanes and/or the driving speed remains under 40 mph

does NOT activate when the ESC has malfunctioned.
REMINDERS:
•
The HAC system does not operate when the Rotary Dial Shifter Knob is in the P (Park) or the N (Neutral) position
•In the event of an HAC system malfunction, see an Authorized Kia Dealer for service
•
•When HAC is active (e.g., accelerating from a stop on an incline), you may notice that the brakes will momentarily remain engaged after you depress the accelerator. This is normal HAC operation
•HAC provides a two-second delay before the vehicle may start rolling backward

The Smart Cruise Control with Stop & Go* system 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 automatically slow to maintain a
set distance between traffic without depressing the accelerator or brake pedal.
When SCC is 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, the SCC system re-engages. If the vehicle ahead
stops for more than 3 seconds, the accelerator pedal or the RES+ button must be pressed to start moving the vehicle.
On some models, press the Driving Assist Mode button* on the Steering Wheel to activate and the speed will be set to the
current vehicle speed. SCC may decrease the speed to maintain the distance with the vehicle in front.
To set/adjust the SCC speed:
•Push the Driving Assist CRUISE / Driving Assist Mode button* A to turn the system ON & set the current speed
(One-Touch Set). The cruise indicator will illuminate on the instrument cluster
•Accelerate/decelerate to the desired speed and press lever B down to set the speed
•Press the RES+/SET- (+/-) button* B up/down to increase/decrease the set speed
•The SET indicator light, set speed and vehicle distance will illuminate on the instrument cluster’s LCD screen C
To set the vehicle distance: Press the Vehicle Distance button D on the steering wheel. The image on the LCD screen C will change when scrolling through
the settings. Each time the button is pressed, the vehicle distance changes.
To cancel or pause SCC operation: Press the CANCEL* or pause button* B. The cruise indicator on the instrument cluster will turn OFF.
To turn SCC OFF: Press the Driving Assist CRUISE / Driving Assist Mode button A. The cruise indicator on the instrument cluster will turn OFF.
To adjust the sensitivity of the SCC system: Press the mode
button E on the Steering Wheel. With the OK button F, select
Driver Assistance, then SCC Response. Then select Fast, Normal or Slow.
To change the cruise control mode from SCC to standard cruise
control, press and hold button A. Repeat to switch back to SCC
mode ( The SCC system must not be activated to change modes.
Some Kia models use the CRUISE button).
The SCC system is a supplemental system and is not a substitute for safe driving. It is the responsibility of the driver to always check the speed and distance to the vehicle ahead.
See section 5 in the Owner’s Manual for more information. Images are for illustrative purposes only and may not reflect actual feature or operation.

Navigation-based Smart Cruise Control - Curve (NSCC-C)*†6a
Navigation-based Smart Cruise Control - Curve can automatically adjust the vehicle speed when it detects a curved road
ahead and when it receives road information from the navigation system.
To turn on NSCC-C, go to the User Settings in the instrument cluster or the Vehicle Settings* in the audio head unit, by
selecting Driving Convenience, Highway Auto Speed Change. When SCC is on and operating, the vehicle is driving on limited/
controlled access highways and NSCC-C is turned on, then NSCC-C is enabled and the AUTO icon A will illuminate white on
the Instrument Cluster.
When NSCC-C detects a curve ahead, activates and reduces the vehicle speed, the AUTO icon A will turn green. When
the vehicle passes the curved road, the vehicle may return to its previously set SCC speed.
Autoset (Automatic change of set speed): If the set speed is set to the current speed limit on the highway during NSCC-C
operation, the set speed is changed automatically whenever the speed limit changes.
REMINDERS: •NSCC-C requires an active navigation subscription •NSCC-C is only available on controlled access roads and highways
See section 5 in the Owner’s Manual for more information. For more setting information, refer to the Car Infotainment System Quick Reference Guide.
NSCC-C is a supplemental system and is not a substitute for safe driving. It is the responsibility of the driver to always check the speed and distance to the vehicle ahead.
