The warning light illumi-
nates on the LCD display,
when you cancel the AEB
system. The driver can
monitor the AEB ON/OFF status on
the LCD display. Also, the warning
light illuminates when the ESC
(Electronic Stability Control) is tuned
off (Traction & Stability Control dis-
abled.) When the warning light
remains ON with the AEB activated,
have your vehicle inspected by an
authorized Kia dealer.
The driver can select the initial warn-
ing activation time in the User
Settings in the instrument cluster
LCD display. The options for the ini-
tial Forward Collision Warning
include the following:
selected, the initial
Forward Collision Warning
is activated earlier than
normal. This setting maxi-
mizes the amount of dis-
tance between the vehicle
or pedestrian ahead before
the initial warning occurs.
The driver feels it is too
sensitive to activate than
expectation, change it to
Normal. If the vehicle in
front stops abruptly, the
driver can notice the warn-
ing alarm is late even
though the early option is
selected.
selected, the initial
Forward Collision
Warning is activated nor-
mally. This setting allows
for a nominal amount of
distance between the
vehicle or pedestrian
ahead before the initial
warning occurs.
selected, the initial Forward
Collision Warning is activat-
ed later than normal. This
setting reduces the amount
of distance between the
vehicle or pedestrian ahead
before the initial warning
occurs. The driver can use it
when the traffic is not busy
on the road and driving
speed is lower.

1. Cruise indicator
2. Cruise set indicator
The cruise control system allows you
to program the vehicle to maintain a
constant speed without pressing the
accelerator pedal.
This system is designed to function
above approximately 20 mph (30
km/h). If the cruise control is left on
(CRUISE indicator light in the
instrument cluster illuminated), the
cruise control can be switched on
accidentally. Keep the cruise con-
trol system off (CRUISE indicator
light OFF) when the cruise control
is not in use, to avoid inadvertently
setting a speed.
Use the cruise control system only when traveling on open highways
in good weather.
Do not use the cruise control driv- ing in heavy or varying traffic, or on
slippery (rainy, icy or snow-cov-
ered) or winding roads or over 6%
up-hill or down-hill roads.
✽ ✽ NOTICE
• During normal cruise control opera-
tion, when the SET switch is activat-
ed or reactivated after applying the
brakes, the cruise control will ener-
gize after approximately 3 seconds.
The 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 normal condition.

The SCC allows you to program the
vehicle to maintain a set speed so
long as it is not limited by traffic. When
traffic is encountered the vehicle will
slow down to maintain a set distance
behind traffic without depressing the
accelerator or brake pedal. Use the SCC only when traveling
on open highways in good weather.

WARNING
- Smart Cruise Control
Inadvertent Activation
If the smart cruise control is left
on (CRUISE indicator in the
instrument cluster illuminated),
it can be activated inadvertent-
ly. Keep the advanced smart
cruise control system off
(CRUISE indicator turn off)
when the smart cruise control is
not in use to avoid setting a
speed which the driver is not
aware of.OPS057119N
WARNING
The Smart Cruise Control
System (SCC) is deactivated
when driving under the speed
of 6.0 mph (10 km/h). In this
case, the SCC will be unable to
maintain the distance entered
by the driver. It is the driver's
responsibility to depress the
brake to maintain a safe dis-
tance from the vehicle the driv-
er is approaching.

RCTA (Rear cross traffic alert)
When your vehicle moves backwards
from a parking position, the sensor
detects approaching vehicles to the
left or right side direction and gives
information to the driver.
Operating conditions
Select RCTA (Rear Cross TrafficAlert) in “User Settings” under
"Driving Assist" on the instrument
cluster. The system will turn on and
stand by to be activated.
Select RCTA again, to turn the sys- tem off.
If the vehicle is turned off and on again, the RCTA system will return
to the state right before the vehicle
was turned off. Turn the RCTA sys-
tem off when not in use.
The system is operated when the vehicle speed is below 6 mph (10
km/h) with the shift lever in R
(Reverse).
The RCTA (Rear Cross Traffic Alert) detection range is 1.6 feet (0.5 m) ~
65 feet (20 m) based on side direc-
tion. If an approaching vehicle
speed is 4 mph (7 km/h) ~ 22 mph
(36 km/h) in detection range, The
warning is on. However, the system
sensing range is different based on
conditions. Always pay attention to
surrounding.
