Lane Keeping Assist (LKA)†6
With the Engine Start /Stop button* in the ON position, press the LK A button A to turn the system ON. The instrument cluster indicator  will initially 
illuminate white. It will remain white when the vehicle is traveling slower than 
40 mph or when the system does not detect the lane markers. When the 
system detects the lane markers and can assist the steering, the LK A icon 
will illuminate green.
If the LK A detects that you are moving 
outside of your lane, the system may 
give an audible warning and display a 
Lane Departure Warning (LDA) alert on 
the instrument cluster 
B. If the vehicle 
continues to move outside of the lane, 
LK A may apply steering inputs, trying to prevent the vehicle from moving 
outside its lane.
LK A is the operating mode by default when the LK A button is depressed 
to ON. To switch between LK A modes (Lane Keep Assist, Lane Departure 
Warning), go to User Settings in the instrument cluster.
All systems will operate under the following conditions:
§   The vehicle speed exceeds approximately 40 mph
§   The LK A system recognizes both sides of the lane markers the vehicle is traveling in
§   The vehicle is between the lane markers
REMINDERS:  
§    LK A /LDW will not issue a warning if the 
turn  signal  or hazard signal is activated
§    LK A /LDW will return to its previous state 
when  the ignition is cycled
§    LK A /LDW are not substitutes for safe and 
proper  driving. Always drive safely and 
use  caution
§    LK A /LDW  may not always alert the driver 
if the vehicle  is about to be driven outside 
of its lane. Always  drive safely and use 
caution.When the front camera detects the lane   
traveling in, both lanes are illuminated When the front camera does not
 detect the 
lane traveling in, the lanes are not illuminated
When the front camera detects the vehicle moving outside of the lane traveling in, a vehicle crossing lane  indicator will blink, either on the left or right lane (as shown in both images above)

Smart Cruise Control (SCC) with Stop & Go†6
The Smart Cruise Control (SCC) 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 slow down to maintain a set distance behind traffic without depressing the 
accelerator or brake pedal.
With SCC on and activated, the vehicle-to-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.
To set/adjust the SCC speed:
§   Accelerate/decelerate to the desired speed 
§   Press the CRUISE button 
A to turn the 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-to-vehicle distance:
§      Press the SCC button 
C on the steering wheel
§      Each time you press 
C the vehicle-to-vehicle distance will change D, indicated by the number of bars that appear on the display E
To cancel SCC operation: Press the CANCEL button F or press the 
brake pedal. The LCD screen will display a message that the SCC 
operation is canceled.
To turn SCC system OFF: Press the CRUISE button 
A. The CRUISE 
indicator on the instrument cluster will turn OFF.
To adjust the sensitivity of the SCC system: Press the mode 
button 
G on the Steering Wheel. With the OK button H, select Drive 
Assistance, then SCC Response. Then select Fast, Normal or Slow.
§     The speed setting for the SCC can be adjusted under the following conditions:
§   You must be traveling at a minimum speed of 20 mph
§    When  following a vehicle, there is no minimum spee d requirement
§     When  following a vehicle, the system can  automatically adjust your cruise speed 
based on the vehicle detected  ahead. If the vehicle detected  remains at a standstill 
for more than 3 seconds, the  system will disable
§     To  change the cruise control mode from SCC to standard cruise control, press and 
hold button 
C.  Repeat to switch back to SCC mode  ( The SCC system must not be 
activated to change modes)

REMINDERS:
§    ESC  is active by default at vehicle startup. When ignition is cycled, ESC will turn ON again
§     The  ESC  indicator light in the instrument cluster will be lit momentarily whenever ESC is active

Hill-Start Assist Control (HAC)†8
REMINDERS: 
§    HAC does not operate when the gear shift is in P (Park) or N 
(Neutral) position
§    HAC does not replace the need to apply brakes while the 
vehicle is stopped on an incline
§    In  the event of HAC system malfunction, see an Authorized 
Kia Dealer for service
Hill-Start Assist Control (HAC) is designed to prevent the vehicle from rolling backwards when accelerating from 
a stop while on a steep incline. 
HAC automatically activates whether ESC is OFF or ON but does NOT activate when ESC has 
malfunctioned.
 
§    When HAC is active (e.g., during initial acceleration from a stop 
on an incline), you may notice that the brakes will momentarily 
remain engaged after you depress the accelerator
§    HAC provides a two-second delay before the vehicle may start 
rolling backwards
