KIA OPTIMA PLUG-IN HYBRID 2017 Owners Manual

-The vehicle in front is a special vehi‐
cle, such as a heavily-loaded truck or
a trailer.
The vehicle in front does not turn ON the rear lights, does not have rear
lights, has asymmetric rear lights, or
has rear lights out of angle.
- The outside brightness is greatly
changed, such as entering/exiting the
tunnel.
- The vehicle driving is unstable.
- The radar/camera sensor recognition
is limited.
0+'
- Driving on a curve
The AEB performance decreases
while driving on a curve. The AEB
may not recognize the vehicle in front even in the same lane. It may unnec‐
essarily produce the warning mes‐
sage and the warning alarm, or it
may not produce the warning mes‐
sage and the warning alarm at all.
While driving on a curve, pay great
caution, and, if necessary, depress the brake pedal.
0+'
- While driving on a curve, the AEB may
recognize the vehicle in front in the
next lane. Pay great caution, and, if necessary, depress the brake pedal.
Or, depress the accelerator pedal to
maintain the driving speed. Always,
take a look around the vehicle for
your safety.
0+'
- Driving on a slope
The AEB performance decreases
while driving upward or downward on
a slope, not recognizing the vehicle in front in the same lane. It may unnec‐
essarily produce the warning mes‐
sage and the warning alarm, or it
may not produce the warning mes‐
sage and the warning alarm at all.
When the AEB suddenly recognizes the vehicle in front while passing over
a slope, you may experience sharp
deceleration.
Always keep your eyes forward while
driving upward or downward on a
slope, and, if necessary, depress the brake pedal.

-Changing lanes
Even though the vehicle in the next
lane enters into your lane, it may not
be recognized by the AEB, until it en‐ ters the AEB sensing range.
Especially when the vehicle in the
next lane abruptly enters into your
lane, it is more likely not to be recog‐
nized. Always pay great attention.
0+'
When the stopped vehicle in front
gets out of the lane, it may not be
recognized by your AEB. Always pay great attention.
0+'
- Recognizing the vehicle
When the vehicle in front has heavy
loading extended rearward, or when
the vehicle in front has higher ground clearance, it may induce a hazardous
situation.
Recognizing pedestrians
- The pedestrian is not fully captured
by the camera sensor, or the pedes‐
trian does not walk in the upright po‐ sition.
- The pedestrian moves very fast.
- The pedestrian abruptly appears in
front.
- The pedestrian wears clothes in the
color similar to the background.
- The outside is too bright or too dark.
- The vehicle drives at night or in the
darkness.
- There is an item similar to a person’s
body structure.
- The pedestrian is small.
- The pedestrian has impaired mobility.
- It is difficult to distinguish the pedes‐
trian from the surroundings.
- The sensor recognition is limited.

WARNING
•Cancel the AEB in the User Set‐tings on the LCD display, beforetowing another vehicle. While tow‐ing, the brake application may ad‐versely affect your vehicle safety.
•Pay great caution to the vehicle infront, when it has heavy loadingextended rearward, or when it hashigher ground clearance.
•The sensor only detects pedes‐trians, not carts, bicycles, motor‐cycles, luggage bags, or strollers.
•The AEB does not operate in a cer‐tain situation. Thus, never test-operate the AEB against a personor an object. It may cause a severeinjury or even death.
NOTICE
The system may temporarily cancel
due to the strong electric waves.

1. Cruise indicator
2. Cruise set indicator
The cruise control system allows you to
program the vehicle to maintain a con‐
stant speed without pressing the accel‐ erator pedal. This system is designed to function
above approximately 30 km/h
(20 mph).
WARNING
•If the cruise control is left on(cruise indicator light is illumina‐ted), the cruise control can beswitched on accidentally. Keep thecruise control system off whenthe cruise control is not in use, toavoid inadvertently setting aspeed.
•Use the cruise control system onlywhen traveling on open highwaysin good weather.
•Do not use the cruise control whenit may not be safe to keep the ve‐hicle at a constant speed, for in‐stance, driving in heavy or varyingtraffic, or on slippery (rainy, icy orsnow covered) or winding roads orover 6% up-hill or down-hill roads.
•Pay particular attention to thedriving conditions whenever usingthe cruise control system.

•Be careful when driving downhillusing the cruise control system,which may increase the vehiclespeed.
CAUTION
During cruise-speed driving of amanual transaxle vehicle, do notshift into neutral without depressingthe clutch pedal, since the enginewill be over revved. If this happens,depress the clutch pedal or releasethe cruise control ON-OFF switch.
NOTICE
•During normal cruise control oper‐
ation, when the SET switch is acti‐
vated or reactivated after applying
the brakes, the cruise control will
energize after approximately 3
seconds. This delay is normal.

the most recent set speed will auto‐ matically resume when the RES+ switch is pushed.
It will not resume, however, if the vehi‐
cle speed has dropped below approxi‐
mately 30 km/h (20 mph).
To turn cruise control off, do
one of the following:
• Press the CRUISE/ button (the
cruise indicator light will be turned off).
• If your vehicle equipped the speed limit system, press the CRUISE/
button twice. (The cruise indicator
light will be turned off.)
