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 oper-
ation, when the SET switch is acti-
vated or reactivated after applying
the brakes, the cruise control will
energize after approximately 3 sec-
onds. 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.

The Lane Keeping Assist (LKA) sys-
tem is designed to detect 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.

Driver is responsible for being
aware of surroundings and
steering the vehicle for safe

(Continued)
The system is designed to
detect lane markers using a
front view camera. If the lane
markers are hard to detect,
then the system may be limit-
ed. 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.
Do not place objects on the dashboard that reflects light
such as mirrors, white paper,
etc. it may cause malfunction
of This may prevent the LKA
system from functioning
properly.
You may not hear warning sound of LKA if the audio vol-
ume is high.
(Continued)(Continued)
If you drive with your handsoff the steering wheel, the
LKA will stop controlling the
steering wheel after the hands
off alarm. If you drive with
your hands on the steering
wheel again, the control will
be activated again.
If the vehicle speed is high, steering 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.
If you attach objects to the steering wheel, the system
may not assist steering.
If you attach objects to the steering wheel, hands off
alarm may not work properly.WARNING
The operation of the LKA canbe canceled or not work prop-
erly according to road condi-
tion and surroundings.
Always be cautious when
driving.
Do not disassemble the front view camera temporarily for
tinting windows or attaching
any types of coatings and
accessories.
Do not disassemble the cam-
era. take your vehicle to an
authorized Kia dealer and
have the system checked to
need a calibration.
When you replace the wind- shield glass, front view cam-
era or parts of the steering,
take your vehicle to an author-
ized Kia dealer and have the
system checked to need a cal-
ibration.

Driving your vehicle
If all the conditions to activate LKAare not satisfied, the system will
convert to the Lane Departure
Warning (LDW) system and warn
the driver only when the driver
crosses the lane markers. In this
scenario, the LDW system does
not provide any steering inputs into
the vehicle for you. Accordingly,
you must take the necessary steps
to maintain control of the vehicle
and keep it within the lanes.
If the driver takes hands off the steer-
ing wheel for several seconds while
the LKA is activated, the system will
warn the driver. If the driver still does not have their
hands on the steering wheel after
several seconds, the system will not
control the steering wheel and warn
the driver only when the driver cross-
es the lane markers.
However, if the driver has their hands
on the steering wheel again, the sys-
tem will start providing steering
inputs.

WARNING
Always have your hands on the
steering wheel while driving.
If you hold the steering wheel with a light grip, the system
may generate a hands off
warning.
