Driving your vehicle
The cruise control system allows you
to program the vehicle to maintain a
constant speed without depressing
the accelerator pedal.
This system is designed to function
above approximately 30 km/h (20
mph).
If the cruise control is left on,
(CRUISE indicator light in the instru-
ment cluster illuminated) the cruise
control can be switched on acciden-
tally. Keep the cruise control system
off (CRUISE indicator light OFF)
when the cruise control is not in use,
to avoid inadvertently setting a speed.
Use the cruise control system only
when traveling on open highways in
good weather.
Do not use the cruise control when
driving in heavy or varying traffic, or
on slippery (rainy, icy or snow-cov-
ered) or winding roads or over 6%
up-hill or down-hill roads.✽ ✽NOTICE
• During normal cruise control
operation, when the SET switch is
activated or reactivated after
applying the brakes, the cruise
control will energize after approx-
imately 3 seconds. This delay is
normal.
• To activate cruise control, depress the brake pedal at least once after
turning the ignition switch to the
ON position or starting the engine.
This is to check if the brake switch
which is important part to cancel
cruise control is in normal condi-
tion.
To set cruise control speed:
1.Press the CRUISE button on the
steering wheel to turn the system
on. The CRUISE indicator light in the
instrument cluster will illuminate.
2.Accelerate to the desired speed, which must be more than 30 km/h
(20 mph).

Each of these actions will cancel the
smart cruise control system opera-
tion. (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 men-
tioned, have the system checked by
an authorized Kia dealer.
✽ ✽ NOTICE

Smart cruise control system mal-
function message
The message will appear when the
vehicle to vehicle distance control
system is not functioning normally.
Take your vehicle to an authorized
Kia dealer and have the system
checked. 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 not replace the
bumper by yourself. It may interfere
with the sensor performance.
Impact damage to the sensor or sensor area may cause the sensor
to move slightly off position and
result in the smart cruise control
system not operating correctly
without any warning or indicator
from the cluster. If this occurs, have
your vehicle checked by an author-
ized Kia dealer as soon as possi-
ble.
Use only a genuine Kia sensor cover for your vehicle. Do not paint
anything on the sensor cover.
If the front bumper becomes dam- aged in the area around the radar
sensor, the Smart Cruise Control
System may not operate properly.
CAUTION - Sensor
Damage
To prevent sensor cover dam-age from occurring, wash thecar with a soft cloth.

- After an engine start, please stop
for several seconds. If system ini-
tialization is not completed, the
smart cruise control system does
not normally operate.
- After an engine start, 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
system may not work.
- The following conditions may cause a malfunction: over-loading
the liftgate, suspension modifica-
tion, tire replacement with unau-
thorized tires or tires with different
tread wear and pressure levels.
- The smart cruise control system cannot guarantee the stop for
every emergency situation.
If an emergency stop is necessary,
you must apply the brakes.
- Keep a safe distance according to road conditions and vehicle speed.
If the vehicle to vehicle distance is
too close during a high-speed driv-
ing, a serious collision may result.
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
can provide you with an addition-
al level of safety and fatigue
reduction. However you must
maintain careful observation of
the roadway in front and around
you and maintain control of your
vehicle and spacing 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.

Driving your vehicle
The Lane Keeping Assist System
detects the lane markers on the road
with a front view camera at the front
windshield, and assists the driver’s
steering to help keep the vehicle in
the lanes.When the system detects the vehicle
straying from its lane, it alerts the
driver with a visual and audible warn-
ing, while applying a slight counter-
steering torque, trying to prevent the
vehicle from moving out of its lane.
✽ ✽

NOTICE
• Driver is responsible for being
aware of surroundings and steer-
ing the vehicle for safe driving
practices.
• LKA SYSTEM helps prevent the driver from moving out of the lane
unintentionally by assisting the
driver’s steering. However, the
system is just a convenience func-
tion and the steering wheel is not
always controlled. While driving,
the driver should pay attention to
the steering wheel.
• The operation of the LKA SYS- TEM can be cancelled or not work
properly according to road condi-
tion and surroundings. Always be
cautious when driving.

Do not disassemble a front view
camera temporarily for tinted win-
dow or attaching any types of coat-
ings and accessories. If you disas-
semble the camera and assemble
it again, take your vehicle to an
authorized Kia dealer and have the
system checked to need a calibra-
tion.
When you replace the windshield glass, front view camera or related
parts of the steering, take your
vehicle to an authorized Kia dealer
and have the system checked to
need a calibration.
The system detects lane markers and controls the steering wheel by
a front view camera, therefore, if
the lane markers are hard to
detect, the system may not work
properly. Always be cautious when
using the system. When the lane markers are hard to
detect, please refer to “Driver’s
Attention”.
Do not remove or damage the related parts of LKA SYSTEM.
Do not place objects on the crash pad that reflects light such as mir-
rors, white paper, etc. it may cause
malfunction of LKA SYSTEM if the
sunlight is reflected.
You may not hear warning sound of LKA SYSTEM because of the
excessive audio sound.
If you continue to drive with your hands off the steering wheel, the
LKA SYSTEM will stop controlling
the steering wheel after the hands
off alarm. After then, if you drive
with your hands on the steering
wheel, the control will be activated
again.✽ ✽
NOTICE
• If the vehicle speed is high, steer-
ing torque for assistance will not
be enough to keep your vehicle
within the lane. If so, the vehicle
may move out of its lane. Obey
speed limit when using LKA SYS-
TEM.
• If you attach objects to the steer- ing wheel, the system may not
assist steering.
• If you attach objects to the steer- ing wheel, hands off alarm may
not work properly.
