Move the lever up (to RES+), and hold it. Your vehicle set speed will
increase by 10 km/h (5 mph).
Release the lever at the speed you
want.
Move the lever up (to RES+), and release it immediately. The cruising
speed will increase by 1.0 km/h (1
mph) each time you move the lever
up (to RES+) in this manner.
ASCC will operate to a maximum setting of 180 km/h (110 mph).
However all local speed limit laws
must be followed.
To decrease the cruise control
set speed:
Follow either of these procedures:
Move the lever down (to SET-), and hold it. Your vehicle set speed will
decrease by 10 km/h (5 mph).
Release the lever at the speed you
want.
Move the lever down (to SET-), and release it immediately. The cruising
speed will decrease by 1.0 km/h (1
mph) each time you move the lever
down (to SET-) in this manner.
You can set the cruise control to any speed above 30 km/h (20 mph).
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 cruise control operation or
change the set speed.
To return to the set speed, take your
foot off the accelerator.
If you move the lever down (to SET-)
at increased speed, the cruising
speed will be set again.
✽ ✽ NOTICE
Be careful when accelerating tem-
porarily, because the speed is not
regulated automatically at this time
even if there is a vehicle in front of
you.

If the radar or cover is dirty or
obscured with foreign matter such as
snow, this message will appear and it
will disappear after for a while. In this
case, the system may not function
temporarily, but it does not indicate a
malfunction of the Advanced Smart
Cruise Control System. Clean the
radar or cover by using a soft cloth
and it will operate normally.ASCC (Advanced Smart Cruise
Control) malfunction message

Driving your vehicle
Always keep the sensor andbumper clean.
Use only a genuine Kia sensor cover for your vehicle.
Do not install accessories around the sensor and do not replace the
bumper by yourself. It may interfere
with the sensor performance.
Impact damage to the sensor or sensor area may cause the sensor
to move slightly off position and
result in the ASCC not operating
correctly without any warning or
indicator from the cluster. If this
occurs, have your vehicle checked
by an authorized Kia dealer as
soon as possible.To adjust the sensitivity of
Advanced Smart Cruise Control
The sensitivity of vehicle speed when
following the front vehicle to maintain
the set distance can be adjusted. Go
to the User Settings Mode (Driving
Assist) and select SCC (Smart
Cruise Control). You may select one
of the three stages you prefer.
Slow:
Vehicle speed following the front
vehicle to maintain the set distance
is slower than normal speed. Normal:
Vehicle speed following the front
vehicle to maintain the set distance
is normal
Fast: Vehicle speed following the front
vehicle to maintain the set distance
is faster than normal speed.
✽ ✽ NOTICE
The system remembers the last
selected mode.
CAUTION - Sensor
Damage
To prevent sensor cover dam-age from occurring, wash thecar with a soft cloth.

the cruise control mode (speed con-
trol function) by doing as follows: 1.Turn the ASCC on (the cruise indi-
cator light will be on but the system
will not be activated).
2.Push the distance to distance switch for more than 2 seconds.
3.Choose between "Smart cruise control (SCC) mode" and "Cruise
control (CC) mode".
When using the cruise control mode,
you must manually assess the dis-
tance to other vehicles as the system
will not automatically brake to slow
down for other vehicles.
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.
