To return to the set speed, take your
foot off the accelerator.
To cancel cruise control, do
one of the following:
Depress the brake pedal.
Shift into N (Neutral) with an Automatic Transaxle.

Each of these actions will cancelcruise control operation (the SETindicator light in the instrument clus-ter will go off), but it will not turn thesystem off. If you wish to resumecruise control operation, move thelever up (to RES+). You will return toyour previously preset speed.To resume cruising speed at
more than approximately 20
mph (30 km/h):
If any method other than the
CRUISE ON-OFF switch was used
to cancel cruising speed and the sys-
tem is still activated, the most recent
set speed will automatically resume
when you move the lever up.
It will not resume, however, if the
vehicle speed has dropped below
approximately 20 mph (30 km/h).
To turn cruise control off, do
one of the following:
Press the CRUISE button (the CRUISE indicator light in the
instrument cluster will go off).
Turn the engine start/stop button off.

ADVANCED SMART CRUISE CONTROL SYSTEM (ASCC) (IF EQUIPPED)
➀ Cruise indicator
➁ Set speed
➂ Vehicle-to-vehicle distance
The ASCC 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 vehi-
cle will slow down to maintain a set
distance behind traffic without
depressing the accelerator or brake
pedal.

WARNING - Advanced
Smart Cruise Control
Inadvertent Activation
If the advanced smart cruise
control is left on (CRUISE indi-
cator in the instrument cluster
illuminated), it can be activated
inadvertently. Keep the
advanced smart cruise control
system off (CRUISE indicator
turn off) when the advanced
smart cruise control is not in
use to avoid setting a speed
which the driver is not aware of.WARNING
- Advanced Smart Cruise Control Limitations
The advanced smart cruise control is a supplemental sys-
tem and is not a substitute for
safe driving practices. It is the
responsibility 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, driv-
ing in heavy or varying traffic,
or on slippery (rainy, icy or
snow-covered) or winding
roads or over 6% uphill or
down-hill roads.
The advanced smart cruise control system cannot recog-
nize a stopped vehicle, pedes-
trians or an oncoming vehicle.
Always look ahead cautiously
to prevent unexpected and
sudden situations from occur-
ring.

front 3. Move the lever down (to SET-),
and release it at the desired
speed. The set speed and vehicle
to vehicle distance on the LDC
screen will illuminate.
4. Release the accelerator pedal. The desired speed will automati-
cally be maintained.
If there is a vehicle in front of you, thespeed may decrease to maintain thedistance to the vehicle ahead.
On a steep grade, the vehicle mayslow down or speed up slightly whilegoing uphill or downhill.

ways in good weather condi-
tions.

If you move the lever down (to SET-)
at increased speed, the cruising
speed will be set again.
✽ ✽ NOTICE
Be careful when accelerating tem-
porarily, because the speed is not
regulated automatically at this time
even if there is a vehicle in front of
you.
ASCC will be temporarily can-
celed when:
Cancelled manually
The advanced smart cruise control is
temporarily canceled when the brake

The accelerator pedal is continu- ously depressed for long time.
Pull over on steep uphill
When activating the AEB (Autonomous Emergency Braking)
Each of these actions will cancel the
ASCC operation. (The set speed
and vehicle-to-vehicle distance on
the LCD display will go off.)
If the ASCC is cancelled automati-
cally, the ASCC will not resume
even though the RES+ or SET-
lever is moved. Also, the EPB (elec-
tronic parking brake) will be applied
when the vehicle is stopped.
If the ASCC is cancelled by a reason
not mentioned, have the system
checked by an authorized Kia dealer.
✽ ✽ NOTICE
If the system is automatically can-
celled, the warning chime will sound
and a message will appear for a few
seconds.
You must adjust the vehicle speed by
depressing the accelerator or brake
pedal according to the road condi-
tions ahead and driving condition.
Always check the road conditions.
Do not rely on the warning chime.
To resume cruise control set
speed:
If any method other than the
CRUISE button was used to cancel
cruising speed and the system is still
activated, the cruising speed will
automatically 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. It will not resume if the
vehicle speed has dropped below
approximately 20 mph (30 km/h).

Vehicle to vehicle distance
setting (ASCC)
To set vehicle to vehicle distance:
This function allows you to program
the vehicle to maintain relative dis-
tance to the vehicle ahead without
depressing the accelerator pedal or
brake pedal. The vehicle to vehicle distance will
automatically activate when the
ASCC is on.
Select the appropriate distance
according to road conditions and
vehicle speed.
Each time the button is pressed, the
vehicle to vehicle distance changes
as follows:
For example, if you drive at 56 mph
(90 km/h), the distance is maintained
as follows;
Distance 4 - approximately 172 feet
(52.5 m)
Distance 3 - approximately 130 feet (40 m)
Distance 2 - approximately 106 feet (32.5 m)
Distance 1 - approximately 82 feet
(25 m)
✽ ✽
NOTICE
The advanced smart cruise control
system remember the last vehicle to
vehicle distance which the driver
used in the vehicle with AEB.

Driving your vehicle
In heavy traffic
In traffic, your vehicle will stop if the
vehicle ahead of you stops. Also, if
the vehicle ahead of you starts mov-
ing, your vehicle will start as well.
However, if the vehicle stops for
more than 3 seconds, you must
depress the accelerator pedal or
move up/down the lever (to RES+ or
SET-) to start driving.
Radar to detect distance to thevehicle ahead
The sensor detects distance to the
vehicle ahead.
If the sensor is covered with dirt or
other foreign matter, the vehicle to
vehicle distance control may not
operate correctly.
Always keep the sensor clean. Radar check message
If the radar or cover is dirty or
obscured with foreign matter such as
snow, this message will appear and it
will disappear after for a while. In this
case, the system may not function
temporarily, but it does not indicate a
malfunction of the Advanced Smart
Cruise Control System. Clean the
radar or cover by using a soft cloth
and it will operate normally.
