The warning light illumi-
nates on the LCD display,
when you cancel the AEB
system. The driver can
monitor the AEB ON/OFF status on
the LCD display. When the warning
light remains ON with the AEB acti-
vated, have your vehicle inspected
by an authorized Kia dealer.
The driver can select the initial warn-
ing activation time in the User
Settings in the instrument cluster
LCD display. The options for the ini-
tial Forward Collision Warning
include the following:
selected, the initial
Forward Collision Warning
is activated earlier than
normal. This setting maxi-
mizes the amount of dis-
tance between the vehicle
or pedestrian ahead before
the initial warning occurs.
The driver feels it is too
sensitive to activate than
expectation, change it to
Normal. If the vehicle in
front stops abruptly, the
driver can notice the warn-
ing alarm is late even
though the early option is
selected.
selected, the initial
Forward Collision
Warning is activated nor-
mally. This setting allows
for a nominal amount of
distance between the
vehicle or pedestrian
ahead before the initial
warning occurs.
selected, the initial Forward
Collision Warning is activat-
ed later than normal. This
setting reduces the amount
of distance between the
vehicle or pedestrian ahead

SMART CRUISE CONTROL SYSTEM (SCC) (IF EQUIPPED)
➀Cruise indicator
➁ Set speed
➂ Vehicle-to-vehicle distance
The SCC allows you to program the
vehicle to maintain a set speed so
long as it is not limited by traffic. When
traffic is encountered the vehicle will
slow down to maintain a set distance
behind traffic without depressing the
accelerator or brake pedal. Use the SCC only when traveling
on open highways in good weather.
Limited visibility (rain, snow, smog, etc)
Cruise function should not be used when the vehicle is being towed to
prevent any damage.
\bSCC is the abbreviation for Smart
Cruise Control.
WARNING
- Smart Cruise Control
Inadvertent Activation
If the smart cruise control is left
on (CRUISE indicator in the
instrument cluster illuminated),
it can be activated inadvertent-
ly. Keep the advanced smart
cruise control system off
(CRUISE indicator turn off)
when the smart cruise control is
not in use to avoid setting a
speed which the driver is not
aware of.ODE056095N
WARNING
The Smart Cruise Control System (SCC) is deactivated
when driving under the speed
of 6.0 mph (10 km/h). In this
case, the it will be unable to
maintain distance from the
vehicle ahead. It is the driver’s
responsibility to depress the
brake to maintain certain dis-
tance from the vehicle ahead.
For your safety, make sure to be well informed of the owner’s

WARNING
- Smart Cruise Control
Limitations
The smart cruise control is a supplemental system and is
not a substitute for safe driv-
ing practices. It is the respon-
sibility of the driver to always
check the speed and distance
to the vehicle ahead.
Do not use the smart cruise control when it may not be
safe to keep the car at a con-
stant speed. For instance.
- Highway interchange andtollgate
- Road surrounded by abnor- mally multiple steel con-
structions (subway con-
struction, steel tunnel, etc)
- Parking lot
- Lanes beside guard rail on a road

button was used to cancel cruising
speed and the system is still activat-
ed, the cruising speed will automati-
cally resume when you move the
lever up/down (to RES+ or SET-).
If you move the lever up (to RES+),
the speed will resume to the recently
set speed. When the speed of the
vehicle is greater than or equal to 6.2
mph (10 km/h) but less than 20 mph
(30 km/h), the smart cruise control
system will be reset only when there
is a vehicle in front.

IF THE ENGINE OVERHEATS
If your temperature gauge indicates
overheating, you will experience a
loss of power, or hear loud pinging or
knocking, the engine is probably too
hot. If this happens, you should:
1. Turn on the emergency warning
flasher and stop in a safe place.
Move the shift lever to P (Park)
and engage the parking brake.
2. If hot steam does not come out from the engine room, carefully
open the engine room and check
whether the water pump connec-
tor is properly engaged. If the con-
nector is not properly engaged,
stop the engine immediately and
properly engage the connector.
Then, turn the engine on.
3. Turn on the air conditioner. 4. If the “HEV Warning” light turns on
in the driver instrument cluster, or
engine coolant or hot steam emits
from the engine coolant filler, stop
the engine immediately. Then, call
the nearest authorized Kia dealer
for assistance. If the “Engine
Warning” light remains illuminated
or the engine coolant is not flowing
out, keep the engine running.
Open the engine hood for ventila-
tion to help cool down the engine. 5. Check whether the engine coolant
temperature is low enough by
checking its temperature. If the
engine coolant level is low, please
check the connecting parts
between the radiator hose, heater
hose, and water pump for any
signs of leakage. When there is no
sign of leakage, please refill the
engine coolant. If causes and
signs of engine overheating such
as warning light illumination,
engine coolant leakage, or cooling
fan malfunction are found, stop the
vehicle the earliest. Then, call the
nearest authorized Kia dealer for
assistance.
WARNING- Under the
Hood
While the engine is running,
keep hair, hands and clothing
away from moving parts such
as the fan and drive belts to pre-
vent injury.
