The Smart Cruise Control with Stop & Go* system is designed to maintain a predetermined distance from vehicles detected ahead
by automatically adjusting the driving speed as needed. When traffic is detected, the vehicle will automatically slow to maintain a
set distance between traffic without depressing the accelerator or brake pedal.
With the SCC on and activated, the vehicle distance set, and the system detects a vehicle slowing or stopping, the system can bring
the vehicle to a complete stop. When the vehicle ahead starts to move forward, the SCC system re-engages. If the vehicle ahead
stops for more than 3 seconds, the accelerator pedal or the RES+ button must be pressed to start moving the vehicle.
On some models, press the Driving Assist Mode CRUISE button* on the Steering Wheel to activate and the speed will be set to the
current vehicle speed. SCC may decrease the speed to maintain the distance with the vehicle in front.
To set/adjust the SCC speed:
•Push the Driving Assist CRUISE / Driving Assist Mode CRUISE button* A to turn the system ON & set the current speed
(One-Touch Set). The cruise indicator will illuminate on the instrument cluster
•Accelerate/decelerate to the desired speed and press lever B down to set the speed
•Press the RES+/SET- (+/-) button* B up/down to increase/decrease the set speed
•The SET indicator light, set speed and vehicle distance will illuminate on the instrument cluster’s LCD screen C
To set the vehicle distance: Press the Vehicle Distance button D on the steering wheel. The image on the LCD screen C
will change when scrolling through the settings. Each time the button is pressed, the vehicle distance changes.
To cancel or pause SCC operation: Press the CANCEL* or pause button* B. The cruise indicator on the instrument cluster will turn OFF.

REMINDERS:
•
If the driver door is opened, charging will be disabled
•
Wireless charging technology allows for a device to be charged using inductive charging. See your Owner’s Manual for more detailed information and the back page for legal disclaimers
•
Inductive charging systems are less ef ficient than conventional charging through a cable. As a result, higher device operating temperatures may be experienced during use
•
Charging Performance – Device position on the wireless charging system can affect charging performance. Other factor that may affect the charging rate includes foreign objects, such as coins or pens, and phone case thickness
Charge a compatible smartphone wirelessly by placing it on the tray B at the front of the console, near the Multimedia USB ports and the charging indicator, while the ignition is on.
1. Enable Wireless Charging in the User Settings
2. Slide open cover A. Place the smartphone on the center of the charging pad B
3. Indicator light C may change to amber once wireless charging begins
4. Once charging is complete, the amber light may change to green
•
•
The smartphone must be a compatible phone with QI function available
•Wireless charging must be enabled in user settings
•
If wireless charging does not work, move the smartphone around the pad until the charging indicator turns amber. Avoid placing other metal items in the bin while charging as to not impede the charging area
•
For wireless charging to occur, all doors (excluding the rear hatch) must be closed & the Smart Key Fob must be detected inside the vehicle

Dual Clutch Transmission (DCT)
Sorento HEV is equipped with Dual Clutch Transmission (DCT ). The
following are unique driving tips for the Dual Clutch Transmission:
• To hold the vehicle stationary on an incline, the service brake or parking brake MUST be used or the gear shift MUST be in
the (P) Park position. If the vehicle is held stationary by applying the accelerator pedal on a slope, the clutch/transmission
may overheat, resulting in damage
• Avoid aggressive launches on steep grades as this may result in an overheated clutch and transmission
• A slight time lag may be experienced at takeoff from standstill during aggressive acceleration maneuvers
If the clutch is overheating, an amber warning light* will be displayed in the instrument cluster.
Should this condition occur, pull over and place the vehicle in Park and idle the engine.
Refer to section 5 in the Owner’s Manual for additional information on Automatic Gear Shift or DCT operation or call Kia Consumer Affairs for additional information.
