1. Cruise indicator
2. Cruise set indicator
The cruise control system allows you to
program the vehicle to maintain a con-stant speed without pressing the acceler-ator pedal. This system is designed to function
above approximately 30 km/h (20 mph).
✽✽
NOTICE
During normal cruise control opera- tion, when the SET switch is activated
or reactivated after applying the
brakes, the cruise control will ener-
gize after approximately 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 nor-
mal condition.
CRUISE CONTROL SYSTEM (IF EQUIPPED)
WARNING
If the cruise control is left on, (cruise indicator light is illuminat-
ed), the cruise control can be
switched on accidentally. Keep
the cruise control system off
when the cruise control is not in
use, to avoid inadvertently set-ting a speed.
Use the cruise control system only when traveling on open
highways in good weather.
Do not use the cruise control when it may not be safe to keep
the vehicle at a constant speed,
for instance, driving in heavy or
varying traffic, or on slippery
(rainy, icy or snow-covered) or
winding roads or over 6% up-hill
or down-hill roads.
Pay particular attention to the driving conditions whenever
using the cruise control system.
Be careful when driving downhill using the cruise control system,
which may increase the vehiclespeed.
CAUTION
During cruise-speed driving of a
manual transaxle vehicle, do notshift into neutral without depress-ing the clutch pedal, since the
engine will be overrevved. If thishappens, depress the clutch pedalor release the cruise control ON- OFF switch.

To turn cruise control off, do one
of the following:
Move the lever down ( ).
Move the lever up ( ). (If you move
the lever up, the speed limit system will
turn on)

Driving your vehicle
To drive over the preset speed limit you
must depress hard on the accelerator
pedal (more than approximately 80%)
until the kick down mechanism works
with a clicking noise. Then the set speed
limit will blink and chime will sound until
you return the vehicle speed within thespeed limit.
✽✽NOTICE
Depressing the accelerator pedal less than approximately 50%, the vehicle
will not speed over the preset speed
limit but maintain the vehicle speed
within the speed limit.
A clicking noise heard from the kick
down mechanism by depressing the
accelerator pedal fully is a normal
condition.
To turn off the speed limit con-
trol, do one of the following:
Move the lever up ( ).
Move the lever down ( ). (If you
move the lever down, the cruise sys-
tem will turn on)
Turn the ignition off.
If you press the O (CANCEL) button
once, the set speed limit will cancel, but
it will not turn the system off. If you wish
to reset the speed limit, move the lever
up (to RES+) or down (to SET-) on your
steering wheel to your desired speed.CAUTION
The “---” indicator will blink if there is a problem with speed limit con- trol system.
If this occurs, we recommend thatthe system be checked by an
authorized Kia dealer.

This system detects the lane with the
sensor at the front windshield and warns
you when your vehicle leaves the lane. To operate the LDWS, press the switch
with the ignition in the ON position. The
indicator illuminates on the cluster. To
cancel the LDWS, press the switchagain.
LANE DEPARTURE WARNING SYSTEM (LDWS) (IF EQUIPPED)
WARNING
The LDWS does not make the vehi- cle change lanes. It is the driver's
responsibility to always check the
road conditions.
Do not turn the steering wheel sud- denly, when the LDWS warns you
that your vehicle is leaving the lane.
If the sensor can not detect the lane or if the vehicle speed does not
exceed 60km/h, the LDWS won't
warn you even though the vehicle
leaves the lane.
If your vehicle has window tint or other types of coating on the front
windshield, the LDWS may not
work properly.
Do not let water or any kind of liq- uid come in contact with the LDWS
sensor.
Do not remove the LDWS parts and do not affect the sensor by a strongimpact.
Do not put objects that reflect light on the dash board.
Always check road conditions because you may not hear the
warning chime because of audio
and external conditions.

Operation
If a traffic sign that is relevant to your
vehicle is passed, the system displays
the information of the speed limits and
no passing restrictions to the driver. When the driver turn on the ignition,
the system displays stored information
of the speed limit before turn off theignition.
Sometimes different speed limits are displayed for the same road. The infor-
mation displayed depending on the sit-
uation. Because, traffic signs with addi-
tional sign (e.g rainy, arrow...) are also
detected and compared with vehicle
interior data(e.g wiper operation, turnsignal...).
The system can update the speed limit information without visible speed limit
signs in the following situations.
- When you change your driving direc-tion with right or left or U turning.
- When vehicle changes roads. (e.g. from highway to country road…)
- When you enter or exit into town or village.
✽✽ NOTICE
If speed limit value has the difference
between cluster and navigation, check
the speed unit setting in navigation.
Display
If the system doesn’t have a reliable speed limit information, the following
symbol is displayed in both the instru-
ment cluster and navigation screen.

BSD (Blind Spot Detection) /
LCA (Lane Change Assist)
Operating conditions
To operate:
Press the BSD switch with the Ignition
switch in the ON position.
The indicator on the BSD switch will illumi-
nate. When the vehicle speed exceeds 30
km/h (20 mph), the system will be activat-ed.
To cancel:
Press the BSD switch again. The indicator
on the switch will go off.
When the system is not used, turn the sys-
tem off by turning off the switch.
✽✽NOTICE
If the vehicle is turned off then on again, the BSD system returns to the
previous state.
When the system is turned on, the warning light will illuminate for 3 sec-
onds on the outside rearview mirror.
The system will activate when:
1. The system is on.
2. The vehicle speed is above about 30 km/h (20 mph).
3. An oncoming vehicle is detected in the blind spot area. First stage alert
If a vehicle is detected within the bound-
ary of the system, an amber warning light
will illuminate on the outside rearview
mirror.
Once the detected vehicle is no longer
within the blind spot area, the warning
will turn off according to the driving con-
ditions of the vehicle

Remember, your vehicle does not
require extended warm-up. After the
engine has started, allow the engine to
run for 10 to 20 seconds prior to plac-
ing the vehicle in gear. In very cold
weather, however, give your engine a
slightly longer warm-up period.
Do not "lug" or "over-rev" the engine. Lugging is driving too slowly in too
high a gear resulting engine bucking. If
this happens, shift to a lower gear.
Over-revving is racing the engine
beyond its safe limit. This can be avoid-
ed by shifting at the recommended
speeds.
Use your air conditioning sparingly. The air conditioning system is operat-
ed by engine power so your fuel econ-
omy is reduced when you use it.
Open windows at high speeds can reduce fuel economy.
Fuel economy is less in crosswinds and headwinds. To help offset some of
this loss, slow down when driving in
these conditions. Keeping a vehicle in good operating con-
dition is important both for economy and
safety. We recommend in general that the
vehicle be serviced by an authorized Kia
dealer.
WARNING
- Engine off dur-
ing motion
Never turn the engine off to coast
down hills or anytime the vehicle is
in motion. The power steering and
power brakes will not function
properly without the engine run-
ning. Instead, keep the engine on
and downshift to an appropriate
gear for engine braking effect. In
addition, turning off the ignition
while driving could engage the
steering wheel lock (if equipped)
resulting in loss of vehicle steering
which could cause serious injuryor death.
