ADVANCED DRIVER ASSISTANCE SYSTEMS (ADAS)
Highway Driving Assist is not a substitute for safe driving, may not detect all objects around the vehicle, and only functions on certain federal highways.
Always drive safely and use caution. See section 5 in the Owner’s Manual for more detailed information, limitations and conditions. Images are for illustrative purposes only and may not reflect actual feature or operation.
Highway Driving Assist (HDA)*
Highway Driving Assist (HDA) is designed to adjust the speed of the vehicle
when driving on federal highways. The system can adjust the vehicle’s speed
based on available highway speed information. The automatic speed setting
mode is designed to set the speed automatically by adjusting to the current
speed limits of the highway the vehicle is traveling on.
To turn HDA on, go to User Settings in the Instrument Cluster or the Vehicle
Settings* in the audio head unit. Go to Drive Assistance > Driving Assist >
Highway Driving Assist and press the OK button B on the Steering Wheel.
HDA will operate only when these conditions are met:
•The vehicle is traveling slower than 95 mph
•
When driving on federal highways
•
When the SCC is on and operating
•
When the SCC speed is set to current federal
highway speed
To activate HDA, turn Smart Cruise Control (SCC) on by pressing the Driving Assist CRUISE button C on the
Steering Wheel. When HDA is activated and the conditions are met, the Instrument Cluster indicator light D
will illuminate green. If the conditions are not met, HDA will be in standby mode and the indicator light D will
illuminate white.
When in operation, and if both lanes are recognized, a display E will show the
lanes illuminated white and the steering wheel indicator illuminated green.
If HDA is activated, conditions are met and the SCC speed is set by the
driver (at the posted highway speed limit or slower), HDA will enter the
automatic speed setting mode. The set speed and AUTO will be displayed F in green and an audible alert will sound.
Safe Exit Assist (SEA) System*†6
Safe Exit Assist (SE A) can help prevent
passengers from opening their door by
displaying a warning message on the
Instrument Cluster A and sounding an
audible warning when a vehicle is detected,
approaching from behind, and after your
vehicle has stopped.
To turn on SE A, go to User Settings in the
Instrument Cluster or the Vehicle Settings* in
the audio head unit, select Driver Assistance,
then Blind-Spot Safety, and select Safe Exit
Assistance.
Images are for illustrative purposes only and may not reflect actual feature or operation.

Hill-Start Assist Control (HAC)†8
HAC is designed to help prevent the vehicle from rolling backward when
accelerating from a stop while on a steep incline.
The HAC automatically activates whether the ESC is OFF or ON but does
NOT activate when the ESC has malfunctioned.
REMINDERS:
•
The HAC does not operate when the gear shift is in the P (Park) or the N (Neutral) position
•
HAC does not replace the need to apply brakes while the vehicle is stopped on an incline
•In the event of HAC system malfunction, see an Authorized Kia Dealer for service
•
•When HAC is active (e.g., during initial acceleration from a stop on an incline), you may notice that the brakes will momentarily remain engaged after you depress the accelerator – this is normal operation
•HAC provides a two-second delay before the vehicle may start rolling backward
