Cancelled manually
The advanced smart cruise control is
temporarily canceled when the brake pedal is depressed or the CANCEL but‐
ton is pressed. The speed and vehicle to
vehicle distance indicator on the cluster is disappeared and the CRUISE indicator
is illuminated continuously.
Cancelled automatically
• The driver's door is opened.
• The shift lever is shifted to N (Neu‐ tral), R (Reverse) or P (Parking). • The EPB (electronic parking brake) is
applied.
• The vehicle speed is over 190 km/h (120 mph).
• The ESC, ABS or TCS 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 driver starts driving by pushing the lever up (RES +) or down (SET -)
or depressing the accelerator pedal approximately 3 seconds after the
vehicle is stopped by the advanced
smart cruise control system with no
other vehicle ahead or a vehicle stop‐
ped far away in front.
• The accelerator pedal is continuously depressed for a long time.
• The engine RPM is in dangerous range.
• The SCC system has malfunctioned.
Each of these actions will cancel the
advanced smart cruise control opera‐
tion. (the set speed and vehicle to vehi‐
cle distance on the LCD display will go
off.) In a condition the advanced smart
cruise control is cancelled automatical‐
ly, the advanced smart cruise control
will not resume even though the RES+ or SET- lever is moved. Also, the EPB
(electronic parking brake) will be ap‐
plied when the vehicle is stopped. • When activating the ISG mode.
• When activating the AEB (Autono‐ mous Emergency Braking).
CAUTION
If the advanced smart cruise controlis cancelled by other than the rea‐sons mentioned, we recommendhave the system checked by an au‐thorized Kia dealer.

To set vehicle to vehicle distance:
0+'
This function allows you to program
the vehicle to maintain relative distance to the vehicle ahead without depressing
the accelerator pedal or brake pedal.
The vehicle to vehicle distance will au‐
tomatically activate when the advanced smart cruise control system is on.
Select the appropriate distance accord‐
ing to road conditions and vehicle
speed. Each time the button is pressed, the
vehicle to vehicle distance changes as
follows:
%JTUBODF
 %JTUBODF

For example, if you drive at 90 km/h
(56 mph), the distance maintain as fol‐ lows: Distance 4 - approximately 52.5 mDistance 3 - approximately 40 mDistance 2 - approximately 32.5 mDistance 1 - approximately 25 m
NOTICE
The 'Distance 4' is always set when
the system is used for the first time
after starting the engine.
The advanced smart cruise control
system remember the last vehicle to

•Keep a safe distance according toroad conditions and vehicle speed.If the vehicle to vehicle distance istoo close during a high-speed driv‐ing, a serious collision may result.
•The advanced smart cruise controlsystem cannot recognize a stop‐ped vehicle, pedestrians or an on‐coming vehicle. Always look aheadcautiously to prevent unexpectedand sudden situations from occur‐ring.
•SCC system may have difficulty inmaintaining the correct distance orspeed, if the vehicle is driving on asteep incline or towing a trailer.
•When other vehicles are changinglanes in front of you frequently,the advanced smart cruise controlsystem may not operate appropri‐ately. Always look ahead cautious‐ly to prevent unexpected and sud‐den situations from occurring.

•The advanced smart cruise controlsystem is not a substitute for safedriving practices but a conveniencefunction only. It is the responsibili‐ty of the driver to always checkthe speed and the distance to thevehicle ahead.
•Always be aware of the selectedspeed and vehicle to vehicle dis‐tance.
•Always maintain sufficient brakingdistance and decelerate your vehi‐cle by applying the brakes if nec‐essary.
•As the advanced smart cruise con‐trol system may not recognizecomplex driving situations, alwayspay attention to driving conditionsand control your vehicle speed.
•For safe operation, carefully readand follow the instructions in thismanual before use.
•After an engine start, please stopfor several seconds. If system ini‐tialization is not completed, theSCC does not normally operate.

ECO mode (Active ECO)
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.

• When the coolant temperature is low:The system will be limited until en‐
gine performance becomes normal.
• When driving up a hill: The system will be limited to gain
power when driving uphill because the engine torque is restricted.
• When using manual mode: The system will be limited according
to the shift location.
• When the accelerator pedal is deeply depressed for a few seconds:
The system will be limited, judging
that the driver wants to speed up.
SPORT mode
SPORT
SPORT mode focu‐ ses on dynamic driv‐ing by automatically
controlling thesteering wheel, en‐gine and transaxlesystem.
• When the DRIVE MODE button is pressed and the SPORT mode is se‐
lected, the SPORT indicator (yellow) will illuminate. • Whenever the hybrid system is re‐
started, the Drive Mode will revert
back to ECO mode. If SPORT mode is
desired, re-select SPORT mode from
the DRIVE MODE button
• If the system is activated: - After speeding, it maintains the gear and RPM for some time even
though the accelerator pedal is not depressed.
- Up-shifting is delayed.
NOTICE
In Sport drive mode, the fuel effi‐
ciency may decrease.
