Auto defogging system (Only for
automatic climate control system,
if equipped)
Auto defogging reduces the possibility
of fogging up the inside of the wind‐ shield by automatically sensing the
moisture of inside the windshield and
air flow toward the windshield can in‐ crease.
The auto defogging system operates
when the AUTO mode is on.
For Europe
If your vehicle is equipped with the auto
defogging system, it is automatically
activated when the conditions are met.

ISG (IDLE STOP AND GO) SYSTEM (IF EQUIPPED)
Your vehicle may be equipped with the
ISG system, which reduces fuel con‐ sumption by automatically shutting
down the engine, when the vehicle is at
a standstill. (For example : red light, stop sign and traffic jam)
The engine starts automatically as
soon as the starting conditions are
met.
The ISG system is ON whenever the en‐ gine is running.
NOTICE
When the engine automatically
starts by the ISG system, some
warning lights (ABS, ESC, ESC OFF,
EPS or Parking brake warning light)
may turn on for a few seconds.
This happens because of low battery
voltage. It does not mean the sys‐
tem is malfunctioning.
Auto stop
To stop the engine in idle stop
mode
• Manual transaxle 1. Decrease the vehicle speed to less than 5 km/h.
2. Shift into N (Neutral) position.
3. Release the clutch pedal.
• Automatic transaxle 1. Decrease the vehicle speed to less than 5 km/h.
2. Press the brake pedal. The engine will stop and the green AU‐
TO STOP indicator (
) on the instru‐
ment cluster will illuminate. If your ve‐ hicle is equipped with a supervision
cluster, the notice will illuminate on the
LCD display.

NOTICE
•You must reach a speed of at least
10 km/h since last idle stop.
•If you unfasten the seat belt or
open the driver’s door (engine
hood) in auto stop mode, the light
on the ISG OFF button will illumi‐
nate and ISG system is deactiva‐
ted. If your vehicle is equipped
with a supervision cluster, the no‐
tice will illuminate on the LCD dis‐
play. Turn the ignition switch to
the START position to start the
engine manually.
Auto start
To restart the engine from idle stop
mode
• Manual transaxle- Press the clutch pedal when theshift lever is in the N (Neutral) po‐
sition.
• Automatic transaxle - Release the brake pedal.
The engine will start and the green AU‐
TO STOP indicator (
) on the instru‐
ment cluster will go out. If your vehicle is equipped with a supervision cluster,
the notice will illuminate on the LCD
display.

•Always check the surroundingareas near your vehicle for people,especially children, before shiftinga car into D (Drive) or R (Reverse).
•Before leaving the driver’s seat, al‐ways make sure the shift lever isin the P (Park) position; then setthe parking brake fully and shutthe engine off. Unexpected andsudden vehicle movement can oc‐cur if these precautions are notfollowed in the order identified.
•Do not use the engine brake (shift‐ing from a high gear to lower gear)rapidly on slippery roads.The vehicle may slip causing an ac‐cident.
CAUTION
•To avoid damage to your trans‐axle, do not accelerate the enginein R (Reverse) or any forward gearposition with the brakes on.
(Continued)
(Continued)
•When stopped on an incline, do nothold the vehicle stationary withengine power.Use the service brake or the park‐ing brake.
•Do not shift from N (Neutral) or P(Park) into D (Drive), or R (Reverse)when the engine is above idlespeed.
Transaxle ranges
The indicator in the instrument cluster
displays the shift lever position when the ignition switch is in the ON position.
P (Park)
Always come to a complete stop before
shifting into P (Park). This position
locks the transaxle and prevents the drive wheels from rotating.
WARNING
•Shifting into P (Park) while the ve‐hicle is in motion will cause thedrive wheels to lock which willcause you to lose control of thevehicle.
•Do not use the P (Park) position inplace of the parking brake. Alwaysmake sure the shift lever is latch‐ed in the P (Park) position and setthe parking brake fully.
•Never leave a child unattended in avehicle.
CAUTION
The transaxle may be damaged ifyou shift into P (Park) while the ve‐hicle is in motion.
R (Reverse)
Use this position to drive the vehicle
backward.

3. Move the lever up (to RES+) ordown (to SET-), and release it at
the desired speed. Move the lever
up (to RES+) or down (to SET-) and
hold it. The speed will increase or
decrease by 5 km/h (3 mph).
The set speed limit will be displayed.
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 the speed limit.
NOTICE
•Depressing the accelerator pedal
less than approximately 50%, the
vehicle will not speed over the pre‐
set speed limit but maintain the
vehicle speed within the speed lim‐
it.
•A clicking noise heard from the
kick down mechanism by depress‐
ing the accelerator pedal fully is a
normal condition.
To turn off the speed limit
control, do one of the following:

FORWARD COLLISION-AVOIDANCE ASSIST (FCA) SYSTEM (IF EQUIPPED)
The FCA system is to reduce or to avoid
accident risk. It recognizes the distance
from the vehicle ahead or the pedes‐ trian through the sensors (i.e. radar
and camera), and, if necessary, warns
the driver of accident risk with the warning message or the warning
alarms.
WARNING
Take the following precautions whenusing the Forward Collision-Avoid‐ance Assist (FCA) System:•This system is only a supplemen‐tal system and it is not intendedto, nor does it replace the need forextreme care and attention of thedriver. The sensing range and ob‐jects detectable by the sensors arelimited. Pay attention to the roadconditions at all times.
•NEVER drive too fast in accordancewith the road conditions or whilecornering.
(Continued)
(Continued)
•Always drive cautiously to preventunexpected and sudden situationsfrom occurring. FCA does not stopthe vehicle completely and doesnot avoid collisions.
System setting and activation
System setting
The driver can activate the FCA by plac‐
ing the ignition switch to the ON posi‐
tion and by selecting 'User Settings', 'Driving Assist', and 'Forward Collision-
Avoidance Assist (FCA)'. The FCA deac‐
tivates, when the driver cancels the system setting.
The warning light illuminates on the LCD display, when youcancel the FCA system.
The driver can monitor the FCAON/OFF status on the LCD display.
When the warning light remains ON
with the FCA activated, have the sys‐tem checked by a professional work‐
shop. Kia recommends to visit an au‐
thorized Kia dealer/service partner. The driver can select the initial warning
activation time in the User Settings and Driving Assist in the instrument cluster
LCD display. The options for the initial
Forward Collision Warning include the following:
• EARLY - When this condition is se‐
lected, the initial Forward
Collision Warning is activa‐ted earlier than normal.This setting maximizesthe amount of distance
between the vehicle or
pedestrian ahead beforethe initial warning occurs.
• NORMAL - When this condition is se‐
lected, the initial Forward
Collision Warning is activa‐ted normally. This settingallows for a nominalamount of distance be‐
tween the vehicle or pe‐
destrian ahead before theinitial warning occurs.
• LATE - When this condition is se‐ lected, the initial Forward
Collision Warning is activa‐ted later than normal.
This setting reduces theamount of distance be‐

tween the vehicle or pe‐
destrian ahead before theinitial warning occurs.
Prerequisite for activation
The FCA gets ready to be activated,
when the FCA is selected on the LCD display, and when the following prereq‐
uisites are satisfied.
- The ESC is activated.
- The driving speed is over 10km/h.
(However, FCA is activated within cer‐ tain driving speed.)
- When recognizing the vehicle or the
pedestrian in front. (However, FCA
does not activate according to condi‐
tions in front and vehicle systems,
but it notices only certain warnings.)
WARNING
•The FCA automatically activatesupon placing the ignition switch tothe ON position. The driver can de‐activate the FCA by canceling thesystem setting on the LCD display.
(Continued)
(Continued)
•The FCA automatically deactivatesupon cancelling the ESC, even withthe FCA system ON, and the driverwill not be able to activate the FCAon the LCD display.
•Set or cancel FCA with controllingswitches on steering wheel afterstopping the vehicle in the safeplace for your safety.
FCA warning message and
system control
The FCA produces warning messages
and warning alarms in accordance with the collision risk levels of followings like
vehicle’s sudden braking in front or lack
of vehicle to vehicle distance or collision to pedestrians. Also, it controls the
brakes in accordance with the collision
risk levels.
Forward warning (1st warning)
The warning message appears on the
LCD display with the warning alarms.
