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
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.

Driving your vehicle
To temporarily accelerate with
the cruise control on:
If you want to speed up temporarily
when the cruise control is on,
depress the accelerator pedal.
Increased speed will not interfere
with the cruise control operation or
change the set speed.
To return to the set speed, take your
foot off the accelerator.
To cancel cruise control, do
one of the following:
Depress the brake pedal.
Shift into N (Neutral) with an auto-matic transaxle.
Press the CANCEL button.
Decrease the vehicle speed lower than the memory speed by 20
km/h (12 mph ).
Decrease the vehicle speed to less than approximately 40 km/h (25
mph).
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, move thelever up (to RES+). You will return toyour previously preset 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.

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.

ASCC will be temporarily can-
celed when:
Cancelled manually
When the vehicle is stopped.
- Press the CANCEL switch locat-ed on the steering wheel while
depress the brake pedal
When the vehicle is moving - Depress the brake pedal or pressthe CANCEL switch located on
the steering wheel.
The ASCC turns off temporarily
when the indicator on the LCD dis-
play turns off.
The CRUISE indicator is illuminated
continuously. Cancelled automatically
The driver's door is opened.
The shift lever is shifted to N
(Neutral), R (Reverse) or D (Drive).
The EPB (electronic parking brake) is applied.
The vehicle speed is over 180km/h (113mph)
The vehicle stops on a steep incline.
The ESC or ABS is operating.
The ESC is turned off.
The sensor or the cover is dirty or blocked with foreign matter.
When the vehicle is stopped for over 5 minutes.
The vehicle stops and go repeat- edly for a long period of time.
The driver starts driving by depressing the accelerator pedal or
move the lever (to RES+ or SET-).
The vehicle stops far away from another vehicle. The accelerator pedal is continu-
ously depressed for more than 1
minute.
Each of these actions will cancel
the ASCC operation. (the SET indi-
cator, set speed and vehicle to
vehicle distance on the LCD dis-
play will go off.)
In a condition where the ASCC is
cancelled automatically, the ASCC
will not resume even though the
RES+ or SET- lever is moved. Also,
the EPB (electronic parking brake)
will be applied when the vehicle is
stopped.

If the system is cancelled, the warn-
ing chime will sound and a message
will appear for a few seconds.
You must adjust the vehicle speed by
depressing the accelerator or brake
pedal according to the road condition
ahead and driving condition.
Always check the road conditions.
Do not rely on the warning chime.
To resume cruise control set
speed:
If any method other than the
CRUISE button was used to cancel
cruising speed and the system is still
activated, the cruising speed will
automatically resume when you
move the lever up (to RES+).
If you move the lever up (to RES+),
the speed will resume to the recently
set speed. It will not resume if the
vehicle speed has dropped below
approximately 40 km/h (25 mph).

aware of the selected speed and
vehicle to vehicle distance set-
tings when activating your
smart cruise control system.
Always maintain sufficient braking distance and deceler-
ate your vehicle by applying
the brakes if necessary.

To turn cruise control off, do
one of the following:
Push the CRUISE button (the
CRUISE indicator light in the
instrument cluster will go off).
Turn the engine off when the vehi- cle is stopped and shifted into
Par k.
Both of these actions cancel ASCCoperation. If you want to resumeASCC operation, repeat the stepsprovided in “To set cruise controlspeed” on the previous page.
To set vehicle to vehicle dis-
tance:
This system allows you to set and
maintain the distance from the vehi-
cle ahead of you without pressing the
accelerator or brake pedal. The vehicle to vehicle distance will
automatically activate when the
ASCC is on.
Select the appropriate distance
according to road conditions and
vehicle speed.
Each time the button is pressed, the
vehicle to vehicle distance changes
as follows;

The warning chime sounds and
malfunction indicator blinks if it is
hard to maintain the selected dis-
tance to the vehicle ahead.
If the warning chime sounds, actively adjust the vehicle speed by
depressing the brake pedal
according to the road condition
ahead and driving condition.
Even if the warning chime is not activated, always pay attention to
the driving conditions to prevent
dangerous situations from occur-
ring. If the vehicle ahead moves to the
next lane, the warning chime will
sound and a message will appear to
provide a supplemental alert to help
you avoid that risk.In traffic situation
In traffic, your vehicle will stop if the
vehicle ahead of you stops. Also, if
the vehicle ahead of you starts mov-
ing, your vehicle will start as well.
However, if the vehicle stops for
more than 3 seconds, you must
depress the accelerator pedal or
move the lever (to RES+ or SET-) to
start driving.

Limitations of the system
The ASCC may have limits to its abil-
ity to detect distance to the vehicle
ahead due to road and traffic condi-
tions.
On curves
On curves, the ASCC may not
detect a moving vehicle in your
lane, and then your vehicle could
accelerate to the set speed. Also,
the vehicle speed will slow down
when the vehicle ahead is recog-
nized suddenly.
Select the appropriate set speed on curves and apply the brakes or
accelerator pedal if necessary.CAUTION
Do not install accessories around the sensor and do notreplace the bumper by your-self. It may interfere with thesensor performance.
To prevent sensor cover dam- age from occurring, wash thecar with a soft cloth.
Do not damage the sensor or sensor area by a strongimpact. If the sensor movesslightly off position, the ASCCwill not operate correctly.
If this occurs, have your vehi-cle checked by an authorizedKia Premium dealer as soonas possible.
