2015 KIA Cadenza warning light

537
Driving your vehicle
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 40 km/h (25
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
operation, when the SET switch is
activated or reactivated after
applying the brakes, the cruise
control will energize after approx-
imately 3 seconds. 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.
This is to check if the brake switch
which is important part to cancel
cruise control is in normal condi-
tion.
To set cruise control speed:
1. Press the CRUISE button on the
steering wheel to turn the system
on. The CRUISE indicator light in
the instrument cluster will illumi-
nate.
2. Accelerate to the desired speed, which must be more than 40 km/h
(25 mph).

WARNING- Misuse of
Cruise Control

tance to the vehicle in front.

➂ Set speed
\b Vehicle-to-vehicle distance
The advanced smart cruise control
system (ASCC) allows you to pro-
gram the vehicle to maintain a set
speed so long as it is not limited by
traffic. When traffic is encountered
the vehicle will be slowed to maintain
a set distance behind traffic without
depressing the accelerator or brake
pedal.
ADVANCED SMART CRUISE CONTROL (ASCC) SYSTEM (IF EQUIPPED)
OVG053312
WARNING- ASCC
Inadvertent Activation
If the advanced smart cruise
control is left on (CRUISE indi-
cator light in the instrument
cluster illuminated), it can be
activated inadvertently. Keep
the ASCC off (CRUISE indicator
light OFF) when the ASCC is not
in use to avoid setting a speed
which the driver is not aware of.WARNING- ASCC Limitations
The ASCC is a supplemental
system and is not a substitute
for safe driving practices. It is
the responsibility of the driver
to always check the speed and
distance to the vehicle ahead.
Do not use the ASCC when
conditions may prevent the
vehicle from maintaining pre-
dictable movement for the driv-
er. For example, driving in diffi-
cult or erratic traffic condi-
tions, or on slippery rainy, icy
or snow-covered roads. Also
avoid winding roads since your
ASCC may lose the ability to
track the vehicle in front of you
in such severe curves. Also
avoid severe up and down
grades [over 6%] since the
smart cruise control may not
be able to compensate for such
extreme inclines.
