Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist (FCA)*†6
FCA is designed to detect and monitor a vehicle ahead or detect a pedestrian in the roadway through front view
camera recognition and front radar signals to warn the driver that a collision is imminent, and if necessary, apply
emergency braking. Initially, FCA provides Forward Collision Warning when it detects a potential collision with a
vehicle in front, emitting an audible warning and visual alert on the Instrument Cluster LCD A. Adjust the Warning
Time (Early, Normal, Late) in the User Settings menu on the Instrument Cluster display. FCA is ON by default and can
be turned OFF in the User Settings, selecting Driving Assist, then Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist.
If the system detects that the collision risk has increased, the FCA automatically applies the brakes to reduce your
speed, potentially helping to avoid or reduce the effects of a possible collision.
FCA will become active when the:
•Engine Start /Stop button is ON
•Vehicle is traveling more than 6 mph
•Electronic Stability Control (ESC) is ON
Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist* is not a substitute for safe and proper driving. Always drive safely and use caution. FCA may not always alert the driver when the vehicle is approaching another vehicle.
For illustrative purposes only. Your actual display, buttons and/or features may vary.
Refer to section 5 in the Owner’s Manual for more information.
REMINDERS:
• FCA will be activated by default when vehicle power is cycled on, even when previous setting is off
• If FCA is operating and the ESC (Electronic Stability Control) is turned off, FCA is automatically turned off
• When FCA is off, FCA warning indicator is on in the instrument cluster
• The warning sound can be adjusted in the User Settings

Wireless Smartphone Charging System*
REMINDERS:
•
The smartphone must be a compatible phone with QI function available
•
Avoid placing other metal items in the bin while charging as to not impede the charging area
•
This vehicle is equipped with wireless charging technology which allows for a device to be charged using inductive charging; however, device compatibility varies. See your Owner’s Manual for more detailed information
•
Inductive charging systems are less ef ficient than conventional charging through cable. As a result, higher device operating temperatures may be experienced during use
•
Charging Performance – Your device’s position on the wireless charging system can affect charging performance. Other factors that may affect the charging rate include foreign objects, such as coins or pens, and phone case thickness
•If driver door is opened, charging will be disabled

•For wireless charging to occur, all doors (excluding rear hatch) must be closed & the Smart Key Fob must be detected inside the vehicle
•For best results, place smartphone on the center of the charging pad
• If wireless charging does not work, move 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
QUICK TIPS
A
1. Enable Wireless Charging in the Instrument Cluster’s User Settings
2. Place a compatible smartphone on the center of the charging pad.
3. Indicator light A may change to amber once wireless charging begins.
4. Once charging is complete, the amber light may change to green.

Idle, Stop & Go (ISG) System*
The ISG system is designed to help reduce fuel consumption by automatically
shutting down the engine when the vehicle is at a standstill.
When the ISG system is ON, the vehicle is at a standstill, and all preconditions
have been met, the engine will stop and the green AUTO STOP indicator
on the instrument cluster will illuminate.
The engine will restart when the brake pedal is released or the shift lever is
moved from D (Drive) to the R (Reverse) position or to Manual Shift mode*.
When engine restarts, the green AUTO STOP indicator on the instrument
cluster will turn off.
To deactivate the ISG System, press the ISG OFF button A (LED lit). If you
press again, the system will be activated.
For more information on Idle, Stop and Go System, refer to section 2 in the Owner’s Manual or contact your local dealership.
REMINDERS:
•
When the AUTO STOP indicator illuminates solid yellow, the system is activated without faults, but will not operate until all the conditions are met
•
ISG is active by default at vehicle start-up. When ignition is cycled, ISG will turn ON again
•

Refer to section 5 in the Owner’s Manual for more information.Dual Clutch Transmission (DCT)*
Some Kia vehicles are equipped with Dual Clutch Transmission (DCT ) for both automatic and manual transmissions.
The following are unique driving tips of 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-colored warning light will be displayed on the instrument cluster. Should this condition occur,
pull over and place the vehicle in Park and idle the engine.
Refer to the Owner’s Manual for additional information on DCT operation or call Kia Consumer Affairs for additional information.

Smart Cruise Control (SCC)*† 6 , 21
Smart Cruise Control is designed to maintain a predetermined distance
from vehicles it detects detected ahead by automatically adjusting
the driving speed as needed. When traffic is detected, the vehicle will
automatically slow to maintain a set distance behind traffic without
depressing the accelerator or brake pedal.
To set/adjust the SCC speed:
•Push the Driving Assist button A to turn system ON. The
CRUISE indicator will illuminate on the instrument cluster
•Press the SET- button B to set the speed. Press the RES+/SET-
button B up/down to increase/decrease the set speed
To set the vehicle distance: Press the Vehicle Distance button C on the steering wheel.
The images on the LCD screen D in the Instrument Cluster will change when scrolling through
the settings. Each time the button is pressed, the vehicle distance changes E.
To cancel SCC operation: Press the CANCEL button F or press the brake pedal.
To turn SCC OFF: Press the Driving Assist button A. The CRUISE indicator on the instrument cluster will turn OFF.
To adjust the sensitivity of SCC: Press the mode button on the Steering Wheel G. With the OK button H,
select Drive Assistance, then SCC Response. Then select Fast, Normal or Slow.
•
•To change the Cruise Control mode from SCC to standard Cruise Control, press and hold button A. Repeat to switch modes again (SCC must not be activated to change modes)
•For the SCC System to operate, the vehicle must be traveling at a minimum speed of 5 mph
•When following a vehicle, the system will automatically adjust your cruise speed based on the vehicle detected in front. It may bring the vehicle to a complete stop if necessary. If the vehicle stops for more than 3 seconds, the system will disable
QUICK TIPSREMINDERS:
•SCC only operates at speeds above 6 mph
•
SCC is activated when ignition is turned on. Speed will need to be reset when ignition is cycled ON
•
In standard Cruise Control, the driver needs to manually assess the distance from other vehicles as the system will not apply brakes to slow down automatically in order to turn SCC ON/OFF
•
SCC is also canceled when the driver’s door is opened, gear shift is changed out of D (Drive) and various other conditions. See Owner’s Manual for other conditions
•
If the SCC system is left on, it can be activated inadvertently. Keep the system off when not in use to avoid setting a speed which the driver is not aware of
