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
With the SCC on and activated and the vehicle distance set, when the system detects a vehicle slowing or stopping, it 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 CRUISE 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 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 pause SCC operation: Press the RES+/-SET button* B The cruise indicator on the instrument cluster will turn OFF
To turn SCC OFF: Press the Driving Assist CRUISE button A The cruise indicator on the instrument cluster will turn OFF
To adjust the sensitivity of the SCC system: Press the mode

Dual Clutch Transmission (DCT)
The Dual Clutch Transmission (DCT) gives the driving feel of a manual transmission, yet provides the ease of a fully automatic transmission
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, the first warning, an amber-colored warning light , will be displayed in the instrument cluster When indicator turns red, reduce speed, pull over and place the vehicle in Park until it cools
Refer to the Owner ’s Manual for additional information on DCT operation or call Kia Consumer Affairs for additional information
REMINDER: When in Manual / Spor t mode, pulling the left and right paddle shifters at the same time will NOT shift gears
Paddle Shifters*
When gear shift is in ECO mode (D - Drive position), the paddle shifters control the regenerative braking level When in Manual Sport mode (left gate), the paddle shifters shift the gears
Pull the [+] or [-] paddle shifter once to shift up or down one gear
