Smart cruise control system mal-
function message
The message will appear when the
vehicle to vehicle distance control
system is not functioning normally.
Take your vehicle to an authorized
Kia dealer and have the system
checked. Always keep the sensor and
bumper clean.
Use only a genuine Kia sensor cover for your vehicle.
Do not install accessories around the sensor and do not replace the
bumper by yourself. It may interfere
with the sensor performance.
Impact damage to the sensor or sensor area may cause the sensor
to move slightly off position and
result in the smart cruise control
system not operating correctly
without any warning or indicator
from the cluster. If this occurs, have
your vehicle checked by an author-
ized Kia dealer as soon as possi-
ble.
Use only a genuine Kia sensor cover for your vehicle. Do not paint
anything on the sensor cover.
If the front bumper becomes dam- aged in the area around the radar
sensor, the Smart Cruise Control
System may not operate properly.

- After an engine start, please stop
for several seconds. If system ini-
tialization is not completed, the
smart cruise control system will not
operate.
- After an engine start, if the sensor cover is obscured with foreign sub-
stances, there is a possibility that
the smart cruise control system
may not work.
- The following conditions may cause a malfunction: over-loading
the liftgate, suspension modifica-
tion, tire replacement with unau-
thorized tires or tires with different
tread wear and pressure levels.
- Keep a safe distance according to road conditions and vehicle speed.
If the vehicle to vehicle distance is
too close during a high-speed driv-
ing, a serious collision may result.
- The smart cruise control system cannot recognize a stopped vehi-
cle, pedestrians or an oncoming
vehicle. Always look ahead cau-
tiously to prevent unexpected and
sudden situations from occurring.
WARNING - Inclines &
Towing
Do not use smart cruise control
system on steep inclines or
when towing another vehicle or
trailer since such extreme load-
ing can interfere with your vehi-
cle's ability to maintain the
selected speed.WARNING
- Safe Use of smart cruise control system
The smart cruise control system
can provide you with an addition-
al level of safety and fatigue
reduction. However you must
maintain careful observation of
the roadway in front and around
you and maintain control of your
vehicle and spacing around
other vehicles as you normally
would. For example, this will
require you to apply the brakes
as needed when coming upon a
slower moving vehicle, or when a
vehicle from another lane drives
quickly in front of you.
WARNING - Emergency Stops
The smart cruise control sys-
tem cannot guarantee the stop
for every emergency situation.
If an emergency stop is neces-
sary, you must apply the brakes.

The Blind-Spot Collision Warning
(BCW) system uses radar sensors in
the rear bumper to monitor and warn
the driver of an approaching vehicle
in the driver's blind spot area.
The system monitors the rear area of
the vehicle and provides information
to the driver with an audible alert and
a indicator on the outside rearview
mirrors (1) Blind spot area
The BCW range varies relative tovehicle speed. Note that if your
vehicle is traveling much faster
than the vehicles around you, the
warning will not occur.
(2) Closing at high speed The BCW-Closing at high speedfeature will alert you when it
detects a vehicle is approaching
in an adjacent lane at a high rate
of speed. If the driver activates
the turn signal when the system
detects an oncoming vehicle, the
system sounds an audible alert.
(3) RCCW (Rear Cross-Traffic Collision Warning)
The RCCW feature monitors approaching cross traffic from the
left and right side of the vehicle
when your vehicle is in reverse.
The feature will operate when the
vehicle is moving in reverse
below about 6 mph (10 km/h). If
oncoming cross traffic is detected
a warning chime will sound.

The RCCW (Rear Cross-Traffic Collision Warning) detecting range
is 1.6 feet ~ 65 feet (0.5 m ~ 20 m)
based on the side direction. If the
approaching vehicle speed is
2.5 mph (4 km/h) ~ 22 mph (36
