approaching vehicle in the driver’s blind spot before changing lanes. The light
on the BCW button A will illuminate when turned ON. The outside rearview
mirror warning lights will also illuminate for 3 seconds.
The system will become active when the vehicle is traveling more than
approximately 18 mph and will alert the driver if another vehicle is detected
by the radar sensor.
1st-stage alert: When another vehicle is detected within the BCW boundary B,
or when a vehicle is detected within the Lane Change Assist (LCA) boundary C,
a yellow indicator will illuminate on the outside rearview mirrors.
2nd-stage alert: When 1st-stage alert is on and the driver activates a turn signal,
a flashing yellow indicator will illuminate on the outside rearview mirrors and the
system will sound an alert.

If the RCCW system sensors detect approaching vehicles from the left or right side D,
the system will sound an audible alert, the warning indicators on the outside rearview
mirror will illuminate, and a message will appear on the LCD screen, if the following
conditions are met:
•When Rotary Dial Shifter Knob is in Reverse
•When the vehicle is moving slower than 6 mph
•When the vehicle moves in reverse from a parked position
•If the approaching vehicle speed is between 2.5-22 mph within sensing range
REMINDERS:
•
The BCW system will not show a warning if the vehicle speed is 6 mph or more than the surrounding vehicles
•If the BCW is turned ON/OFF and the ignition is cycled, the BCW system returns to ON/OFF
•The RCCW feature can be turned OFF/ON in User Settings
•The BCA and RCCW Warning Volume can be adjusted in the Vehicle Settings on the audio head unit

Highway Driving Assist (HDA) Video
REMINDERS:
•
Current highway speeds and controlled or limited access road information may vary. Future navigation updates may change this information
•
If the driver changes the speed while in automatic speed setting mode, it deactivates and enters a manual mode
•
When the ignition is cycled, the system returns to its previous state, on or off

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.

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.
