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.

Navigation-based Smart Cruise Control - Curve (NSCC-C)*†6a
Navigation-based Smart Cruise Control - Curve can automatically adjust the vehicle speed when it detects a curved road
ahead and when it receives road information from the navigation system.
To turn on NSCC-C, go to the User Settings in the instrument cluster or the Vehicle Settings* in the audio head unit, by
selecting Driving Convenience, Highway Auto Speed Change. When SCC is on and operating, the vehicle is driving on limited/
controlled access highways and NSCC-C is turned on, then NSCC-C is enabled and the AUTO icon A will illuminate white on
the Instrument Cluster.
When NSCC-C detects a curve ahead, activates and reduces the vehicle speed, the AUTO icon A will turn green. When
the vehicle passes the curved road, the vehicle may return to its previously set SCC speed.
Autoset (Automatic change of set speed): If the set speed is set to the current speed limit on the highway during NSCC-C
operation, the set speed is changed automatically whenever the speed limit changes.
REMINDERS: •NSCC-C requires an active navigation subscription •NSCC-C is only available on controlled access roads and highways
See section 5 in the Owner’s Manual for more information. For more setting information, refer to the Car Infotainment System Quick Reference Guide.
