Lane Keeping Assist (LKA)†6
With the Engine Start /Stop button in the ON position, press
the LK A button A to turn system ON . The instrument cluster
indicator will initially illuminate white . It will remain
white when the vehicle is traveling less than 40 mph or the
system does not detect the lane markers . When the LK A
system detects the lane markers and can assist the steering,
the LK A icon will illuminate green .
If the LK A detects that you are moving outside of your lane,
the system may give an audible warning and display a LDW
(Lane Departure Warning) alert on the instrument cluster .
If the vehicle continues to move outside of the lane, the
LK A will apply a slight adjustment to the steering, trying to
prevent the vehicle from moving outside its lane .
Standard LK A is the operating mode by default when the
LK A button is depressed to ON . To switch between modes
(Standard LK A, Active LK A and Lane Departure), go to User
Settings in the Instrument Cluster .
All systems will operate under the following conditions:
•The vehicle exceeds approximately 40 mph
•The LK A system recognizes both sides of the lane markers
the vehicle is traveling in
•The vehicle is between the lane markers
REMINDERS:
• LK A will not issue a warning if the turn signal or hazard signal is activated
• LK A will stay on when the ignition is cycled
Lane Keeping Assist is not a substitute for safe driving, and may not always alert the driver if the vehicle is moving outside of its lane. Always drive safely and use caution.
Your vehicle’s instrument cluster & indicator light locations may differ from those in the illustrations. For more information on the instrument cluster, please refer to the Owner’s Manual.
These illustrations are for demonstration purposes only. Some indicators and warning lights may not appear in illustration. On the vehicle, they may appear in the LCD.
When the LK A sensor detects the lane traveled in, both lanes are illuminatedWhen the LK A sensor does not detect the lane traveled in the lanes are not illuminated
When the LK A sensor detects the vehicle moving outside of the lane being traveled in, a yellow indicator will illuminate either on the left or right lane (shown in both images above)

Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist (FCA) / Forward Collision Warning (FCW)†6
The FCA is designed to help alert the driver, and under certain conditions, apply emergency braking, when rapidly
approaching a vehicle that is slowing down, braking or stopped . Initially, the FCA provides Forward Collision Warning
(FCW ) when it detects a potential collision with a vehicle in front, emitting an audible warning and visual alert on the
instrument cluster .
Adjust the alert settings (Early, Normal, Late) in the User Settings . To turn the FCA /FCW off, go to User Settings again
and turn it off .
If the collision risk increases, the Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist (FCA) automatically applies the brakes to reduce
your speed, helping to minimize the effects of a possible collision . FCA can be turned ON in the User Settings menu on
the Instrument Cluster display .
The FCA /FCW will become active when the:
• Engine Start /Stop button is ON
• Vehicle is traveling more than 5 mph
• Electronic Stability Control (ESC) is ON
The Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist (FCA) / Forward Collision Warning (FCW)* are not substitutes for safe and proper driving. Always drive safely and use caution. FCA/FCW may not always alert the driver when the vehicle is approaching another vehicle.
REMINDERS:
• The FCA will be activated by default when vehicle power is cycled on, even when previously set to off
• The FCW will not operate when the vehicle is traveling faster than approximately 50 mph
• If the FCA is operating and the ESC (Electronic Stability Control) is turned off, the FCA system is automatically turned off
• When FCA system is off, the FCA warning indicator is on in the Instrument Cluster

The HAC automatically activates whether the ESC is OFF or ON but does
NOT activate when the ESC has malfunctioned .
REMINDERS:
•The HAC does not operate when the gear shift is in the P (Park) or the N (Neutral) position
•In the event of HAC system malfunction, see 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 2-second delay before the vehicle may start rolling backward

Smart Cruise Control (SCC)†6,20
The Smart Cruise Control (SCC) system allows you to set the vehicle to maintain a speed so long as
it is not limited by traffic . When traffic is encountered, the vehicle may be slowed to help maintain
a set distance behind traffic detected ahead without the driver depressing the brake pedal .
To set/adjust the SCC speed:
•Push the CRUISE button A to turn system ON . The CRUISE indicator will illuminate
on the instrument cluster
•Accelerate/decelerate to the desired speed
•Press button B down to set the speed . Press the RES+/SET- button B up/down to
increase/decrease the set speed
To adjust the vehicle-to-vehicle distance setting C: Press the SCC button D on the steering
wheel . The images on the LCD screen E and the Instrument Cluster F will change when scrolling
through the settings . Each time the button is pressed, the vehicle-to-vehicle distance changes .
To cancel SCC operation: Press the CANCEL button G or press the brake pedal . The LCD
screen will display a message that the SCC operation is canceled H .
To turn SCC system OFF: Press the CRUISE button A . The CRUISE indicator on the instrument
cluster will turn OFF .
• To change the Cruise Control mode from SCC to standard Cruise Control, press and hold button D . Repeat to switch modes again ( The SCC system must not be activated to change modes) .
• For the SCC System to operate, you must be traveling at a minimum speed of 20 mph, when no vehicle is in front .
• The Smart Cruise Control System (SCC) is deactivated when driving under the speed of 6 .0 mph
• When following a vehicle, the system will automatically adjust your cruise speed based on the vehicle detected in front .
QUICK TIPSREMINDERS:
•
In standard Cruise Control, the driver needs to manually assess the distance from other vehicles as the system will not apply brakes to slow down automatically in order to turn SCC ON/OFF
•
SCC system is activated when ignition is turned on . Speed will need to be reset when ignition is cycled on
•
The distance settings are approximations and may vary depending on factory settings at the time . See owner’s manual for more information
•
The SCC is also canceled when the driver’s door is opened, gear shift is changed out of D (Drive) and various other conditions . See owner’s manual for other conditions .
•
If the SCC system is left on, it can be activated inadvertently . Keep the system off when not in use to avoid setting a speed which the driver is not aware of .

Dual Clutch Transmission*
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 of 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 stand still during aggressive acceleration maneuvers
If the clutch is over-heating, an amber-colored warning light will be displayed in the instrument cluster . Should this condition occur,
pull over and place the vehicle in Park and idle the engine.
Refer to the Owner’s Manual for additional information on DCT operation or call Kia Consumer Affairs for additional information.
