Smart Cruise Control system will
be temporarily canceled when:
Canceled manually
Smart Cruise Control system is tem-
porarily canceled when the brake
pedal is depressed or the CANCEL
button is pressed. The speed and
vehicle to vehicle distance indicator
on the cluster is disappeared and the
cruise indicator ( CRUISE) is illu-
minated continuously. Canceled automatically
SCC system will automatically can-
cel in the following situations:
The driver's door is opened.
The shift lever is shifted to N
(Neutral), R (Reverse) or P (Paking).
The EPB (Electronic Parking Brake) is applied.
The vehicle speed is over 120 mph (190 km/h)
The ESC, ABS or TCS is operating.
The ESC is turned off.
The sensor or the cover is dirty or blocked with foreign matter.
The accelerator pedal is continu- ously depressed for long time.
The engine speed is in dangerous range.
SCC system has malfunctioned.
When the braking control is operat- ed for Forward Collision-Avoidance
Assist system
The vehicle stops and goes repeat- edly for a long period of time. When the parking brake is locked
Speed of the vehicle has been
decreased to less than 5 mph (10
km/h)
Engine has some problems
Each of these actions will cancel SCC
system operation. (The set speed of
the cluster is displayed in gray shades
and the distance indicator with the
vehicle ahead is disappeared.)
In a condition the smart cruise con-
trol is cancelled automatically, Smart
Cruise Control system will not oper-
ate even though the RES+ or SET-
switch is moved.
The EPB (Electronic Parking Brake)
is applied when SCC auto release
condition occurs while SCC is in use.

Hazardous driving conditions
When hazardous driving conditions
are encountered such as water,
snow, ice, mud, sand, or similar haz-
ards, follow these suggestions:
Drive cautiously and allow extradistance for braking.
Avoid sudden braking or steering.
When braking with non-ABS brakes pump the brake pedal with
a light up-and-down motion until
the vehicle is stopped.
Do not pump the brake pedal on a
vehicle equipped with ABS. If stalled in snow, mud, or sand,
use the second gear. Accelerate
slowly to avoid spinning the drive
wheels.
Use sand, rock salt, or other non- slip material under the drive
wheels to provide traction when
stalled in ice, snow, or mud.
Reducing the risk of a rollover
This multi-purpose passenger vehi-
cle is defined as a Sports Utility
Vehicle (SUV). Utility vehicles have a
significantly higher rollover rate than
other types of vehicles. SUV's have
higher ground clearance and a nar-
rower track to make them capable of
performing in a wide variety of off-
road applications. Specific design
characteristics give them a higher
center of gravity than ordinary vehi-
cles. An advantage of the higher
ground clearance is a better view of
the road, which allows you to antici-
pate problems. They are not
designed for cornering at the same
speeds as conventional passenger
vehicles, any more than low-slung
sports vehicles are designed to per-
form satisfactorily in off-road condi-
tions. Due to this risk, driver and pas-
sengers are strongly recommended
to buckle their seat belts. In a rollover
crash, an unbelted person is signifi-
cantly more likely to die than a per-
son wearing a seat belt. There are
steps that a driver can make to
reduce the risk of a rollover.
SPECIAL DRIVING CONDITIONS
WARNING- Downshifting
Do not downshift with a dual
clutch transmission while driv-
ing on slippery surfaces. The
sudden change in tire speed
could cause the tires to skid
and result in an accident.

What to do in an emergency

7. Place the jack at the front (1) or
rear (2) jacking position closest to
the tire you are changing. Place
the jack at the designated loca-
tions under the frame. The jacking
positions are plates welded to the
frame with two tabs and a raised
dot to line up with the jack. 8. Insert the wheel lug nut wrench
into the jack and turn it clockwise,
raising the vehicle until the tire just
clears the ground. This measure-
ment is approximately 1 in. (30
mm).
Before removing the wheel lug
nuts, make sure the vehicle is sta-
ble and that there is no chance for
movement or slippage. 9. Loosen the wheel nuts and
remove them with your fingers.
Slide the wheel off the studs and
lay it flat so it cannot roll away. To
put the wheel on the hub, pick up
the spare tire, line up the holes
with the studs and slide the wheel
onto them. If this is difficult, tip the
wheel slightly and get the top hole
in the wheel lined up with the top
stud. Jiggle the wheel back and
forth until the wheel can slide over
the other studs.

CAUTION
To maintain your vehicle’s bestbrake and ABS/ESC perform-ance, use Kia genuine brakefluid as in the specification.(Classification : SAE J1704 DOT-4 LV, ISO4925 CLASS-6,FMVSS116 DOT-4)

Tire replacement
If the tire is worn evenly, a tread wear
Indicator (A) will appear as a solid
band across the tread. This shows
there is less than 1/16 inch (1.6 mm)
of tread left on the tire. Replace the
tire when this happens.
Do not wait for the band to appear
across the entire tread before replac-
ing the tire. The ABS works by comparing the
speed of the wheels. The tire size
affects wheel speed. When replacing
tires, all 4 tires must use the same
size originally supplied with the vehi-
cle. Using tires of a different size can
cause the ABS (Anti-lock Brake
System) and ESC (Electronic
Stability Control) to work irregularly.
✽ ✽

NOTICE
• We recommend that when replac-
ing tires, use the same which were
originally supplied with the vehi-
cle. If not, driving performance
could be altered.
• When replacing tires (or wheels), it is recommended to replace the
two front or two rear tires (or
wheels) as a pair.
Replacing just one tire can serious-
ly affect your vehicle's handling.
Wheel replacement
When replacing the metal wheels for
any reason, make sure the new
wheels are equivalent to the original
factory units in diameter, rim width
and offset.
A wheel that is not the correct size
may adversely affect wheel and
bearing life, braking and stopping
abilities, handling characteristics,
ground clearance, body-to-tire clear-
ance, snow chain clearance,
speedometer and odometer calibra-
tion, headlight aim and bumper
height.

Always handle them carefully,and avoid scratches and abra-
sions. If the bulbs are lit, avoid
contact with liquids. Never
touch the glass with bare
hands. Residual oil may cause
the bulb to overheat and burst
when lit.
A bulb should be operated
only when installed in a head-
light.
If a bulb becomes damaged or cracked, replace it immediate-
ly and carefully dispose of it.
Wear eye protection when changing a bulb. Allow the bulb
to cool down before handling it.

(LED type) bulb replacement
(Headlamp type B)
If the headlamp (LED type) (1) does
not operate, have the vehicle
checked by an authorized Kia dealer.
The LED lamp cannot be replaced
as a single component because it is
an integrated unit. The LED lamp has
to be replaced with the unit.
A skilled technician should check or
repair the headlamp (LED type), for it
may damage related parts of the
vehicle.
