NOTICE
•Do not wait for the engine to
warm up while the vehicle remains
stationary.
Start driving at moderate engine
speeds. (Steep accelerating and
decelerating should be avoided.)
•Always start the vehicle with your
foot on the brake pedal. Do not
depress the accelerator while
starting the vehicle. Do not race
the engine while warming it up.
•If ambient temperature is low, the
"" indicator may remain illumi‐
nated longer than the normal
amount of time.

•If the "" indicator turns off
while you are in motion, do not at‐
tempt to move the shift lever to
the P (Park) position.
If traffic and road conditions per‐
mit, you may put the shift lever in
the N (Neutral) position while the
vehicle is still moving and press
the Engine Start/Stop button in an
attempt to restart the hybrid sys‐
tem.
•Do not push or tow your vehicle to
start the hybrid system.
NOTICE
•If the battery is weak or the smart
key does not work correctly, you
can start the hybrid system by
pressing the engine start/stop
button with the smart key.
The side with the lock button
should be contacted directly.
When you press the engine start/
stop button directly with the
smart key, the smart key should
contact the button at a right an‐
gle.
•When the stop lamp fuse is blown,
you cannot start the hybrid sys‐
tem normally.
Replace the fuse with a new one.
If it is not possible, you can start
the hybrid system by pressing the
engine start/stop button for 10
seconds while it is in the ACC posi‐
tion. The engine can start without
depressing the brake pedal. But
for your safety always depress
the brake pedal before starting
the engine.

Also, the EPB is applied automatically if
the Auto Hold button is on when the engine is turned off.
NOTICE
On a steep incline or when pulling a
trailer if the vehicle does not stand
still, do as follows:
1.Apply the EPB.
2.Pull up the EPB switch for more
than 3 seconds.
CAUTION
Do not operate the parking brakewhile the vehicle is moving except inan emergency situation. It coulddamage the vehicle system and en‐danger driving safety.
Releasing the parking brake
0+'
To release the EPB (Electronic ParkingBrake), press the EPB switch in the fol‐lowing condition:
• Have the engine start/stop button in the ON position.
• Depress the brake pedal.
Make sure the brake warning light goes
off.
To release EPB (Electronic ParkingBrake) automatically:
• Shift lever in P (Park) With the engine running depress thebrake pedal and shift out of P (Park)
to R (Reverse) or D (Drive).
• Shift lever in N (Neutral) With the engine running depress the
brake pedal and shift out of N (Neu‐
tral) to R (Reverse) or D (Drive). 1. Start the engine.
2. Fasten the driver's seat belt.
3. Close the driver's door, engine hood and trunk.
4. Depress the accelerator pedal while the shift lever is in R (Rear),
D (Drive) or manual mode.
Make sure the brake warning light goes
off.
NOTICE
•For your safety, you can engage
the EPB even though the engine
stop/start button is in the OFF po‐
sition, but you cannot release it.

Advanced smart cruise control will
be temporarily canceled when:
0+'-
Cancelled manually
The advanced smart cruise control is
temporarily canceled when the brake pedal is depressed or the CANCEL but‐
ton is pressed. The speed and vehicle to
vehicle distance indicator on the cluster is disappeared and the CRUISE indicator
is illuminated continuously.
Cancelled automatically
• The driver's door is opened.
• The shift lever is shifted to N (Neu‐ tral), R (Reverse) or P (Parking). • The EPB (electronic parking brake) is
applied.
• The vehicle speed is over 190 km/h (120 mph).
• The ESC, ABS or TCS is operating.
• The ESC is turned off.
• The sensor or the cover is dirty or blocked with foreign matter.
• When the vehicle is stopped for over 5 minutes.
• The driver starts driving by pushing the lever up (RES +) or down (SET -)
or depressing the accelerator pedal approximately 3 seconds after the
vehicle is stopped by the advanced
smart cruise control system with no
other vehicle ahead or a vehicle stop‐
ped far away in front.
• The accelerator pedal is continuously depressed for a long time.
• The engine RPM is in dangerous range.
• The SCC system has malfunctioned.
Each of these actions will cancel the
advanced smart cruise control opera‐
tion. (the set speed and vehicle to vehi‐
cle distance on the LCD display will go
off.) In a condition the advanced smart
cruise control is cancelled automatical‐
ly, the advanced smart cruise control
will not resume even though the RES+ or SET- lever is moved. Also, the EPB
(electronic parking brake) will be ap‐
plied when the vehicle is stopped. • When activating the ISG mode.
• When activating the AEB (Autono‐ mous Emergency Braking).
CAUTION
If the advanced smart cruise controlis cancelled by other than the rea‐sons mentioned, we recommendhave the system checked by an au‐thorized Kia dealer.

The driver may choose to only use the
cruise control mode (speed control function) by doing as follows: 1. Turn the advanced smart cruise control system on (the cruise indi‐
cator light will be on but the sys‐
tem will not be activated).
2. Push the distance to distance switch for more than 2 seconds.
3. Choose between "Advanced smart cruise control (SCC) mode" and
"Cruise control (CC) mode".
WARNING
When using the cruise control mode,you must manually access the dis‐tance to other vehicles as the sys‐tem will not automatically brake toslow down for other vehicles.
Limitations of the system
0+'
The advanced smart cruise control sys‐
tem may have limits to its ability to de‐ tect distance to the vehicle ahead due
to road and traffic conditions.
On curves
• On curves, the advanced smart cruise control system may not detect a
moving vehicle in your lane, and then your vehicle could accelerate to the
set speed. Also, the vehicle speed will
rapidly down when the vehicle ahead
is recognized suddenly. • Select the appropriate set speed on
curves and adjust your vehicle speedby depressing the accelerator or
brake pedal according to the road
condition ahead and driving condition.
0+'
• Your vehicle speed can be reduced due to a vehicle in the adjacent lane.
Adjust your vehicle speed by depress‐ ing the brake pedal according to the
road condition ahead and driving con‐
dition. Apply the accelerator pedal
and select the appropriate set speed.
Check to be sure that the road condi‐ tions permit safe operation of the
advanced smart cruise control.

The drive mode may be selected ac‐
cording to the driver’s preference or road condition. The system resets to be in the ECO
mode, when the hybrid system is re‐

ECO mode (Active ECO)
ECO
Active ECO helps
improve fuel effi‐
ciency by control‐ling certain en‐gine and trans‐axle system op‐erating parame‐ters. Fuel effi‐ciency depends
on the driver'sdriving habit and
road condition. • When the DRIVE MODE button is
pressed and the ECO mode is selec‐
ted, the ECO indicator (green) will illu‐ minate to show that the Active ECO
is operating.
• When the Active ECO is activated, it does not turn off even though the
engine is restarted again. To turn off
the system, press the DRIVE MODE button again.
When Active ECO is activated:
• The acceleration may slightly be re‐ duced even though you depress the
accelerator fully.
• The air conditioner performance may be limited.
• The shift pattern of the automatic transaxle may change.
• The engine noise may get louder.
The above situations are normal condi‐
tions when the active eco system is ac‐
tivated to improve fuel efficiency.
Limitation of Active ECO operation:
If the following conditions occur while Active ECO is operating, the system op‐
eration is limited even though there is
no change in the ECO indicator.

• When the coolant temperature is low:The system will be limited until en‐
gine performance becomes normal.
• When driving up a hill: The system will be limited to gain
power when driving uphill because the engine torque is restricted.
• When using manual mode: The system will be limited according
to the shift location.
• When the accelerator pedal is deeply depressed for a few seconds:
The system will be limited, judging
that the driver wants to speed up.
SPORT mode
SPORT
SPORT mode focu‐ ses on dynamic driv‐ing by automatically
controlling thesteering wheel, en‐gine and transaxlesystem.
• When the DRIVE MODE button is pressed and the SPORT mode is se‐
lected, the SPORT indicator (yellow) will illuminate. • Whenever the hybrid system is re‐
started, the Drive Mode will revert
back to ECO mode. If SPORT mode is
desired, re-select SPORT mode from
the DRIVE MODE button
• If the system is activated: - After speeding, it maintains the gear and RPM for some time even
though the accelerator pedal is not depressed.
- Up-shifting is delayed.
NOTICE
In Sport drive mode, the fuel effi‐
ciency may decrease.
