Driving your vehicle
Each of these actions will cancel the
smart cruise control system operation.
(The set speed and vehicle-to-vehicle
distance on the LCD display will go
off.)
If the smart cruise control system is
cancelled automatically, the smart
cruise control system will not resume
even though the RES+ or SET- lever
is moved.
If the smart cruise control system is
cancelled by a reason not described
above, have the system checked by
an authorized Kia dealer.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 and driv-
ing conditions ahead.
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 activat-
ed, the cruising speed will automati-
cally 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 only resume below
approximately 30 km/h (20 mph)
when a vehicle is in the front.

CAUTION
Always keep the sensor and
bumper clean.
Use only a genuine Kia sensor cover for your vehicle.
Do not install accessories around the sensor and do notreplace the bumper by your-self. It may interfere with thesensor performance.
Impact damage to the sensor or sensor area may cause thesensor to move slightly offposition and result in thesmart cruise control systemnot operating correctly with-out any warning or indicatorfrom the cluster. If this occurs,have your vehicle checked byan authorized Kia dealer assoon as possible.
Do not paint anything on the sensor cover.
If the front bumper becomes damaged in the area aroundthe radar sensor, the SmartCruise Control System maynot operate properly.

Driving your vehicle
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 (SCC) mode" and "Cruise
control (CC) mode".
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
mode will turn on.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
The Smart Cruise Control system may not immediately detect a mov-
ing 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.
OUM054040L
WARNING
When using the cruise control
mode, you must manually
assess the distance to other
vehicles as the system will not
automatically brake to slow
down for other vehicles.

579
Driving your vehicle
Always be cautious for vehicles that
are taller with higher clearance, or
vehicles carrying loads that stick out
of the back of the vehicle.
OYP054151N
WARNING - Inclines &Towing
Do not use smart cruise control
system on steep inclines or
when towing another vehicle or
trailer since such extreme load-
ing can interfere with your vehi-
cle's ability to maintain the
selected speed.WARNING
- Safe Use of smart cruise control system
The smart cruise control system
is a supplemental system. You
must maintain careful observa-
tion of the roadway in front and
around you and maintain control
of your vehicle and distance
around other vehicles as you
normally would. For example,
this will require you to apply the
brakes as needed when coming
upon a slower moving vehicle, or
when a vehicle from another lane
drives quickly in front of you.

(Continued)
Always be aware of the select-
ed speed and vehicle to vehi-
cle distance.
Always maintain sufficient braking distance and deceler-
ate your vehicle by applying
the brakes if necessary.(Continued)
If an emergency stop is nec-
essary, you must apply the
brakes.
Keep a safe distance accord- ing to road conditions and
vehicle speed. If the vehicle to
vehicle distance is too close
during a high-speed driving, a
serious collision may result.
The smart cruise control sys- tem cannot recognize a
stopped vehicle, pedestrians
or an oncoming vehicle.
Always look ahead cautiously
to prevent unexpected and
suddensituations from occur-
ring.
When other vehicles are changing lanes in front of you
frequently, the smart cruise
control system may not oper-
ate appropriately. Always look
ahead cautiously to prevent
unexpected and sudden situa-
tions from occurring.
(Continued)WARNING
After starting the engine,please stop for several sec-
onds. If system initialization is
not completed, the smart
cruise control system does
not normally operate.
After starting the engine, if any objects are not detected
or the sensor cover is
obscured with foreign sub-
stances, there is a possibility
that the smart cruise control
system may not work.
The following conditions may cause a malfunction: over-
loading the liftgate, suspen-
sion modification, tire
replacement with unautho-
rized tires or tires with differ-
ent tread wear and pressure
levels.
The Smart Cruise Control sys- tem may not be able to com-
pletely stop the vehicle or
avoid a collision in every situ-
ation.

The Blind-Spot Collision Warning
(BCW) system uses radar sensors in
the rear bumper to monitor and warn
the driver of an approaching vehicle
in the driver's blind spot area.
The system monitors the rear area of
the vehicle and provides information
to the driver with an audible alert and
a indicator on the outside rearview
mirrors.(1) Blind spot area
The warning range is dependenton your vehicle speed. Note that if
your vehicle is traveling much
faster than other nearby vehicles,
the warning will not occur.
(2) Closing at high speed The BCW-Closing at high speedfeature will alert you when a vehi-
cle is approaching in an adjacent
lane at a high rate of speed. If the
driver activates the turn signal
when the system detects an
oncoming vehicle, the system
sounds an audible alert. (3) Rear Cross-Traffic Collision
Warning (RCCW)
The RCCW feature monitors approaching cross traffic from the
left and right side of the vehicle
when your vehicle is in reverse.
The feature will operate when the
vehicle is moving in reverse
below about 10 km/h (6 mph). If
oncoming cross traffic is detected
a warning chime will sound.
