The driver must be cautious in the be‐
low situations for the system may not assist the driver and may not work
properly. • Do not stick or attach anything to the windshield in front of the camera as
this may reduce effectiveness or cause one more of the systems de‐

clean.
• Do not place reflective materials, such as white paper or a mirror, on
the instrument panel.
• Do not strike or damage the areas around the camera unit.
• Do not touch the camera lens or re‐ move the screw located on the cam‐era unit.
• The system does not work in all sit‐ uations but is designed merely as a
supplementary aid.
• The system assists the driver and does not replace the human eye. • The driver always bears ultimate re‐
sponsibility for ensuring that the ve‐hicle is driven safely and that applica‐

Speed setting
To set cruise control speed:
0+'
1. Press the CRUISE button, to turnthe system on. The CRUISE indica‐
tor in the instrument cluster will il‐
luminate.
2. Accelerate to the desired speed. The advanced smart cruise control
speed can be set as follows: • 30 km/h (20 mph) ~ 180 km/h (110 mph): when there is no vehi‐ cle in front
• 0 km/h (0 mph) ~ 180 km/h (110 mph): when there is a vehi‐cle in front

3. Move the lever down (to SET-), and release it at the desired speed. The
set speed and vehicle to vehicle dis‐
tance on the LCD screen will illumi‐
nate.
4. Release the accelerator pedal. The desired speed will automatical‐
ly be maintained.
If there is a vehicle in front of you, the speed may decrease to maintain the
distance to the vehicle ahead.
On a steep grade, the vehicle may slow
down or speed up slightly while going uphill or downhill.

Radar check message
0+'-
If the radar or cover is dirty or ob‐
scured 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.
SCC (Advanced smart cruise
control) malfunction message
0+'-
The message will appear when the ve‐
hicle to vehicle distance control system is not functioning normally.
We recommend have the system
checked by an authorized Kia dealer.
CAUTION
•Do not install accessories aroundthe sensor and do not replace thebumper by yourself. It may inter‐fere with the sensor performance.
•Always keep the sensor andbumper clean.
•To prevent sensor cover damagefrom occurring, wash the car witha soft cloth.
•Do not damage the sensor or sen‐sor area by a strong impact. If thesensor moves slightly off position,the advanced smart cruise controlsystem will not operate correctlywithout any warning or indicatorfrom the cluster.If this occurs, we recommend thatthe system be checked by an au‐thorized Kia dealer.
•Use only a genuine Kia sensor cov‐er for your vehicle. Do not paintanything on the sensor cover.

The driver may choose to only use the
cruise control mode (speed control function) by doing as follows: 1. Turn the advanced smart cruise control system on (the cruise indi‐
cator light will be on but the sys‐
tem will not be activated).
2. Push the distance to distance switch for more than 2 seconds.
3. Choose between "Advanced smart cruise control (SCC) mode" and
"Cruise control (CC) mode".
WARNING
When using the cruise control mode,you must manually access the dis‐tance to other vehicles as the sys‐tem will not automatically brake toslow down for other vehicles.
Limitations of the system
0+'
The advanced smart cruise control sys‐
tem may have limits to its ability to de‐ tect distance to the vehicle ahead due
to road and traffic conditions.
On curves
• On curves, the advanced smart cruise control system may not detect a
moving vehicle in your lane, and then your vehicle could accelerate to the
set speed. Also, the vehicle speed will
rapidly down when the vehicle ahead
is recognized suddenly. • Select the appropriate set speed on
curves and adjust your vehicle speedby depressing the accelerator or
brake pedal according to the road
condition ahead and driving condition.
0+'
• Your vehicle speed can be reduced due to a vehicle in the adjacent lane.
Adjust your vehicle speed by depress‐ ing the brake pedal according to the
road condition ahead and driving con‐
dition. Apply the accelerator pedal
and select the appropriate set speed.
Check to be sure that the road condi‐ tions permit safe operation of the
advanced smart cruise control.

ECO
Active ECO helps
improve fuel effi‐
ciency by control‐ling certain en‐gine and trans‐axle system op‐erating parame‐ters. Fuel effi‐ciency depends
on the driver'sdriving habit and
road condition. • When the DRIVE MODE button is
pressed and the ECO mode is selec‐
ted, the ECO indicator (green) will illu‐ minate to show that the Active ECO
is operating.
• When the Active ECO is activated, it does not turn off even though the
engine is restarted again. To turn off
the system, press the DRIVE MODE button again.
When Active ECO is activated:
• The acceleration may slightly be re‐ duced even though you depress the
accelerator fully.
• The air conditioner performance may be limited.
• The shift pattern of the automatic transaxle may change.
• The engine noise may get louder.
The above situations are normal condi‐
tions when the active eco system is ac‐
tivated to improve fuel efficiency.
Limitation of Active ECO operation:
If the following conditions occur while Active ECO is operating, the system op‐
eration is limited even though there is
no change in the ECO indicator.
