(Electronic Parking Brake))Radar to detect distance to the
vehicle ahead
The sensor detects the 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 area in front of the
sensor clean.
Warning message
When the sensor lens cover is cov-
ered with dirt, snow, or debris, the
Smart Cruise Control System opera-
tion may stop temporarily. If this
occurs, a warning message will
appear on the LCD display. Remove
any dirt, snow, or debris and clean the
radar sensor lens cover before operat-
ing the Smart Cruise Control System.
The Smart Cruise Control system may
not properly activate, if the radar is
totally blocked, or if any substance is
not detected after turning ON the
engine (e.g. in an open terrain).OJFHP058304L

SCC (smart cruise control) mal-
function message
The message will appear when the
vehicle to vehicle distance control
system is not functioning normally.
In this case, take your vehicle to an
authorized Kia dealer and have the
system checked.
CAUTION
Do not install accessories around the sensor and do notreplace the bumper by your-self. It may interfere with thesensor performance.
Always keep the sensor and bumper clean.
Use only a soft cloth to wash the vehicle. Do not spray pres-surized water directly on thesensor or sensor cover.
Be careful not to apply unnec- essary force on the radar sen-sor or sensor cover. If the sen-sor is forcibly moved out ofproper alignment, the SmartCruise Control System maynot operate correctly. In thiscase, a warning message maynot be displayed.
Have the vehicle inspected byan authorized Kia dealer.

(Continued) Do not damage the sensor or sensor area by a strongimpact. If the sensor movesslightly off position, the smartcruise control system will notoperate correctly without anywarning or indicator from thecluster. If this occurs, takeyour vehicle to an authorizedKia dealer and have the sys-tem checked.
Use only a genuine Kia sensor cover for your vehicle. Do notpaint anything on the sensorcover.
If the front bumper becomes damaged in the area aroundthe radar sensor, the SmartCruise Control System maynot operate properly.

To adjust the sensitivity of
smart cruise control
The sensitivity of vehicle speed when
following the front vehicle to maintain
the set distance can be adjusted. Go
to the User Settings Mode (Driver
Assistance) and select (SCC
Reaction). You may select one of the
three stages you prefer.
Slow:Vehicle speed to the vehicle ahead
to maintain the set distance to the
vehicle ahead is slower than nor-
mal speed.
Normal: Vehicle speed to the vehicle ahead
to maintain the set distance to the
vehicle ahead is normal
Fast: Vehicle speed to the vehicle ahead
to maintain the set distance to the
vehicle ahead is faster than normal
speed.
✽ ✽ NOTICE
The last selected mode remains in
the system.
To convert to cruise control
mode:
The driver may choose to only use
the cruise control mode (speed con-
trol function) by doing as follows: 1. Turn the smart cruise control sys-
tem on (the cruise indicator light
will be on but the system will not
be activated).
2. Push the distance to distance switch for more than 2 seconds.
3. Choose between "Smart Cruise Control" and "Cruise Control".
When the system is canceled using
the CRUISE button or the CRUISE
button is used after the engine is
turned on, the Smart Cruise Control

Limitations of the system
The smart cruise control system may
have limits to its ability to detect dis-
tance to the vehicle ahead due to
road and traffic conditions.
On curves
On curves, the smart cruise control
system may not immediately
detect a moving vehicle in your
lane, and then your vehicle could
accelerate to the set speed. Also,
the vehicle speed will rapidly
decrease when the vehicle ahead
is recognized suddenly.
Select the appropriate set speed on curves and adjust your vehicle
speed by depressing the accelera-
tor or brake pedal according to the
road and driving conditions ahead. Your vehicle speed can be reduced
due to a vehicle in the adjacent
lane. Adjust your vehicle speed by
depressing the brake pedal
according to the road and driving
conditions ahead. Apply the accel-
erator pedal and select the appro-
priate set speed. Check to be sure
that the road conditions permit safe
operation of the smart cruise con-
trol.

Driving your vehicle
On inclines
During uphill or downhill driving,the smart cruise control system
may not immediately detect a mov-
ing vehicle in your lane, and may
cause your vehicle to accelerate to
the set speed. Also, the vehicle
speed will rapidly down when the
vehicle ahead is recognized sud-
denly.
Select the appropriate set speed on inclines and adjust your vehicle
speed by depressing the accelera-
tor or brake pedal according to the
road and driving conditions ahead.
Lane changing
A vehicle which moves into yourlane from an adjacent lane cannot
be recognized by the sensor until it
is in the sensor's detection range.
The sensor may not detect imme- diately when a vehicle cuts in sud-
denly. Always pay attention to the
traffic, road and driving conditions.
If a vehicle which moves into your lane is slower than your vehicle,
your speed may decrease to main-
tain the distance to the vehicle
ahead. If a vehicle which moves into your
lane is faster than your vehicle,
your vehicle will accelerate to the
selected speed.

WARNING
When using the Smart Cruise
Control take the following pre-
cautions:
If an emergency stop is nec-
essary, you must apply the
brakes. The vehicle cannot be
stopped at every emergency
situation by using the Smart
Cruise Control system.
Keep a safe distance accord- ing to road conditions and
vehicle speed. If the vehicle to
vehicle distance is too close a
serious collision may result.
Always maintain sufficient braking distance and deceler-
ate your vehicle by applying
the brakes if necessary.
The Smart Cruise Control sys- tem cannot recognize a
stopped vehicle, pedestrians
or an oncoming vehicle.
(Continued)
(Continued)Always look ahead to prevent
unexpected and sudden situa-
tions from occurring.
Vehicles moving in front of you with a frequent lane
change may cause a delay in
the system's reaction or may
cause the system to react to a
vehicle actually in an adjacent
lane.
Always drive cautiously to
pre-vent unexpected and sud-
den situations from occur-
ring.
Always be aware of the select- ed speed and vehicle to vehi-
cle distance. The driver
should not solely rely on the
system but always pay atten-
tion to driving conditions and
control your vehicle speed.
(Continued)(Continued)
The Smart Cruise Control sys-tem may not recognize com-
plex driving situations so
always pay attention to driv-
ing conditions and control
your vehicle speed.
For safe operation, carefully read and follow the instruc-
tions in this manual before
use.

CAUTION
The Driver Attention Warningsystem may not provide alertsin the following situations:
The lane detection perform- ance is limited. (For moreinformation, refer to “LaneKeeping Assist (LKA) system”in this chapter.)
The vehicle is erratically driv- en or is abruptly turned forobstacle avoidance (e.g. con-struction area, other vehicles,fallen objects, bumpy road).
Forward drivability of the vehi- cle is severely undermined(possibly due to wide varia-tion in tire pressures, uneventire wear-out, toe-in/toe-outalignment).
(Continued)
(Continued) The vehicle drives on a curvy road.
The vehicle drives on a bumpy road.
The vehicle drives through a windy area.
The vehicle is controlled by the following driver assistancesystems:
