illuminate on the instrument cluster

For the SCC System to operate: •When no vehicle is in front, you must be travelling at a minimum speed of 19 mph •When following a vehicle, there is no minimum speed requirement
When following a vehicle, the system will automatically adjust your cruise speed based on the vehicle in front It will even bring the vehicle to a complete stop if necessary
QUICK TIPSREMINDERS:
•Cruise Control button must be ON in order to turn SCC ON/OFF
•SCC system is activated when ignition is turned on Speed will need to be reset when ignition is cycled on

The distance settings are approximations and may vary depending on factory settings at the time See owner’s manual for more information

In standard Cruise Control, the driver needs to manually assess the distance from other vehicles as the system will not apply brakes to slow down automatically in order to turn SCC ON/OFF
•
The SCC is also canceled when the driver’s door is opened, gear shift is changed out of D (Drive) and various other conditions See owner’s manual for other conditions

Some Kia vehicles are equipped with Dual Clutch Transmission (DCT ) for both automatic and manual transmissions
The following are unique driving tips of the Dual Clutch Transmission:
• To hold the vehicle stationary on an incline, the service brake or parking brake MUST be used or the gear shift MUST be in the (P) Park position
If the vehicle is held stationary by applying the accelerator pedal on a slope, the clutch/transmission may overheat, resulting in damage
• Avoid aggressive launches on steep grades as this may result in an overheated clutch and transmission
• A slight time lag may be experienced at takeoff from stand still during aggressive acceleration maneuvers
If the clutch is over-heating an amber-colored warning light will be displayed in the instrument cluster Should this condition occur,
pull over and place the vehicle in Park and idle the engine.
Refer to the Owner’s Manual for additional information on DCT operation or call Kia Consumer Affairs for additional information.
