Limitations of the system
The Automatic Emergency Braking
(AEB) system is designed to monitor
the vehicle ahead or a pedestrian on
the roadway through radar signals\
and camera recognition to warn the
driver that a collision is imminent,
and if necessary, apply emergency
braking.
In certain situations, the radar sen-
sor or the camera may not be able to
detect the vehicle or pedestrian
ahead. In these cases, the AEB sys-
tem may not operate normally. The
driver must pay careful attention in
the following situations where the
AEB operation may be limited.
Recognizing vehicles
The sensor may be limited when:
The radar sensor or camera is
blocked with a foreign object or
debris
Inclement weather such as heavy rain or snow obscures the field of
view of the radar sensor or camera
There is interference by electro- magnetic waves
There is severe irregular reflection from the radar sensor
The radar/camera sensor recogni- tion is limited
The vehicle in front is too small to be detected (for example a motor-
cycle or a bicycle, etc.)
The camera cannot fit the full out- line of a vehicle in front
The vehicle in front is an oversize vehicle or trailer that is too big to
be detected by the camera recog-
nition system (for example a tractor
trailer, etc.)
The driver's field of view is not well illuminated (either too dark or too
much reflection or too much back-
light that obscures the field of view)(Continued)
The AEB system cannotdetect the driver approaching
the side view of a parked vehi-
cle (for example on a dead
end street.)
In these cases, you must
maintain a safe braking dis-
tance, and if necessary,
depress the brake pedal to
reduce the driving speed in
order to maintain a safe dis-
tance.

Driving your vehicle
The vehicle in front does not havetheir rear lights properly turned ON
The outside brightness changes suddenly, for example when enter-
ing or exiting a tunnel
Light coming from a street light or an oncoming vehicle is reflected on
a wet road surface such as a pud-
dle in the road
The field of view in front is obstructed by sun glare
The windshield glass is fogged up; a clear view of the road is obstruct-
ed
The vehicle in front is driving errat- ically
The vehicle drives through a con- struction area, on an unpaved
road, or above metal materials,
such as a railway
The vehicle drives inside a build- ing, such as a basement parking
lot
The adverse road conditions cause excessive vehicle vibrations while
driving
The vehicle in front is moving verti- cally to the driving direction The vehicle in front is stopped ver-
tically
The vehicle in front is driving towards your vehicle or reversing
Sensor recognition changes rapid- ly when driving over the bump
When the vehicle vibrates heavily
When the vehicle in front drives in circles, such as on a roundabout
Window tint on the front wind- shield, film, water repellent coat-
ing, damaged glass, camera lens
contaminated with foreign objects
(e.g. a sticker, insect, etc.)
When the radar or camera/camera lens is damaged
When the headlights are off or weak at night or in a tunnel
Light such as street light, sunlight or oncoming vehicle light reflects
from water on the road
Driving with the sun in front of you (including headlights of a vehicle
coming from the opposite direc-
tion)
Signs, shadow on the road, tunnel entrance, toll gate, partially paved
roads The windshield is fogged by humid
air in the vehicle or frosted over
In foggy weather

- Recognizing the vehicle
If the vehicle in front of you has cargo
that extends rearward from the cab,
or when the vehicle in front of you
has higher ground clearance, addi-
tional special attention is required.
The AEB system may not be able to
recognize the cargo extending from
the vehicle. In these instances, you
must maintain a safe braking dis-
tance from the rearmost object, and
if necessary, depress the brake
pedal to reduce your driving speed in
order to maintain distance.
Recognizing pedestrians
The sensor may be limited when:
The pedestrian is not fully detected
by the camera recognition system,
for example, if the pedestrian is
leaning over or is not fully walking
upright
The pedestrian is moving very quickly or appears abruptly in the
camera detection area
The pedestrian is wearing clothing that easily blends into the back-
ground, making it difficult to be
detected by the camera recogni-
tion system
The outside lighting is too bright (e.g. when driving in bright sunlight
or in sun glare) or too dark (e.g.
when driving on a dark rural road
at night)
There is an item similar to a per- son's body structure
The pedestrian is small
The pedestrian has impaired mobility
The sensor recognition is limited It is difficult to detect and distin-
guish the pedestrian from other
objects in the surroundings, for
example, when there is a group of
pedestrians or a large crowd
Sensor recognition changes rapid- ly when driving over the bump
When the vehicle vibrates heavily
When the vehicle in front drives in circles, such as on a roundabout
Window tint on the front wind- shield, film, water repellent coat-
ing, damaged glass, camera lens
contaminated with foreign objects
(e.g. a sticker, insect, etc.)
When the radar or camera/camera lens is damaged
When the headlights are off or weak at night or in a tunnel
Light such as street light, sunlight or oncoming vehicle light reflects
from water on the road

1. Cruise indicator
2. Cruise set indicator
The cruise control system allows you
to program the vehicle to maintain a
constant speed without pressing the
accelerator pedal.
This system is designed to function
above approximately 20 mph (30
km/h). If the cruise control is left on
(CRUISE indicator light in the
instrument cluster illuminated), the
cruise control can be switched on
accidentally. Keep the cruise con-
trol 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 driv- ing 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 opera-
tion, when the SET switch is activat-
ed or reactivated after applying the
brakes, the cruise control will ener-
gize after approximately 3 seconds.
The 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 condition.

WARNING- Misuse of
Cruise Control
Do not use cruise control if the
traffic situation does not allow
you to drive safely at a constant
speed and with sufficient dis-
tance to the vehicle in front.

km/h).
Each of these actions will cancelcruise control operation (the SETindicator light in the instrument clus-ter will go off), but it will not turn thesystem off. If you wish to resumecruise control operation, push theRES + switch located on your steer-ing wheel. You will return to your pre-viously preset speed.To resume cruising speed at
more than approximately 20
mph (30 km/h):
If any method other than the
CRUISE button was used to cancel
cruising speed and the system is still
activated, the most recent set speed
will automatically resume when the
RES + switch is pushed.
It will not resume, however, if the
vehicle speed has dropped below
approximately 20 mph (30 km/h).

Radar check message
If the radar or cover is dirty or
obscured with foreign matter such as
snow, this message (“Smart Cruise
Control disabled temporarily”) will
appear and it will disappear after for
a while. In this case, the system may
not function temporarily, but it does
not indicate a malfunction of the
Smart Cruise Control System. Clean
the radar or cover by using a soft
cloth and it will operate normally.
SCC (Smart Cruise Control)
malfunction message
The message (“Check Smart Cruise
Control System”) 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 SCC not operating
correctly without any warning or
indicator from the cluster. If this
occurs, have your vehicle checked
by an authorized Kia dealer as
soon as possible. Do not apply license plate frame or
foreign objects such as a bumper
sticker or a bumper guard near the
radar sensor. Doing so may
adversely affect the sensing per-
formance of the radar.
Always keep the radar sensor and lens cover clean and free of dirt
and debris.
Use only a soft cloth to wash the vehicle. Do not spray pressurized
water directly on the sensor or sen-
sor cover.
Be careful not to apply unneces- sary force on the radar sensor or
sensor cover. If the sensor is
forcibly moved out of proper align-
ment, the Smart Cruise Control
System may not operate correctly.
In this case, a warning message
may not be displayed. Have the
vehicle inspected by an authorized
Kia dealer.
If the front bumper becomes dam- aged in the area around the radar
sensor, the Smart Cruise Control
System may not operate properly.
Have the vehicle inspected by an
authorized Kia dealer.
CAUTION - Sensor
Damage
To prevent sensor cover dam-age from occurring, wash thecar with a soft cloth.

677
Driving your vehicle
Use only genuine Kia parts torepair or replace a damaged sen-
sor or sensor cover. Do not apply
paint to the sensor cover.To adjust the sensitivity of
Smart Cruise Control
The sensitivity of vehicle speed when
following the front vehicle to maintain
the set distance can be adjusted. Go
to the User Settings Mode (Driving
Assist) and select SCC (Smart
Cruise Control). You may select one
of the three stages you prefer.
Slow:
Vehicle speed following the front
vehicle to maintain the set distance
is slower than normal speed.
Normal: Vehicle speed following the front
vehicle to maintain the set distance
is normal
Fast: Vehicle speed following the front
vehicle to maintain the set distance
is faster than normal speed.
✽ ✽ NOTICE
The system remembers the last
selected mode.
To convert to cruise control
mode:
The driver may choose to only use
the cruise control mode (speed con-
trol function) by doing as follows:
1.Turn the SCC on (the cruise indi-
cator 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”.
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.
