The reverse parking distance warning
assists the driver during backward
movement of the vehicle by chiming if
any object is sensed within a distance
of 120 cm (47 in.) behind the vehicle.
This system is a supplemental system
and is not intended to, nor does it,
replace the need for the driver's
extreme care and attention. The sens-
ing range and objects detectable by
the back sensors ( ➀) are limited.
Whenever backing-up, pay as much
attention to what is behind you as you
would in a vehicle without a reverse
parking distance warning.
Operation of the reverse park-
ing distance warning
Operating condition
This system will activate when backing up with the ignition switch
ON.
If the vehicle is moving at a speed
over 5 km/h (3 mph), the system
may not be activated correctly.
The sensing distance while the back-up warning system is in oper-
ation is approximately 120 cm (47
in.) at the rear bumper center area,
and 60 cm (23.5 in.) at the rear
bumper side area.
When more than two objects are sensed at the same time, the clos-
est one will be recognized first.
REVERSE PARKING DISTANCE WARNING (IF EQUIPPED)
WARNING - Reverse park-
ing distance warning
Never rely solely on the reverse
parking distance warning.
Always perform a visual inspec-
tion to make sure the vehicle is
clear of all obstructions before
moving the vehicle in any direc-
tion. Stop immediately if you are
aware of a child anywhere near
your vehicle. Some objects may
not be detected by the sensors,
due to the object's size or mate-
rial.

Driving your vehicle
Hill-start assist control (HAC)
A vehicle has the tendency to roll
back on a steep hill when it starts to
go after stopping. The Hill-start
Assist Control (HAC) prevents the
vehicle from rolling back by applying
the brakes automatically for about 2
seconds. The brakes are released
when the accelerator pedal is
depressed or after about 2 seconds.
The HAC is activated only for about 2
seconds, so when the vehicle begins
to roll, always depress the accelera-
tor pedal.
Good braking practices
Check to be sure the parking brakeis not engaged and the parking
brake indicator light is out before
driving away.
Driving through water may get the brakes wet. They can also get wet
when the vehicle is washed. Wet
brakes can be dangerous! Your
vehicle will not stop as quickly if the
brakes are wet. Wet brakes may
cause the vehicle to pull to one side.
To dry the brakes, apply the brakes
lightly until the braking action
returns to normal, taking care to
keep the vehicle under control at all
times. If the braking action does not
return to normal, stop as soon as it
is safe to do so and call an author-
ized Kia dealer for assistance.
Don't coast down hills with the vehicle out of gear. This is extreme-
ly hazardous. Keep the vehicle in
gear at all times, use the brakes to
slow down, then shift to a lower
gear so that engine braking will
help you maintain a safe speed. Don't "ride" the brake pedal.
Resting your foot on the brake
pedal while driving can be danger-
ous because the brakes might
overheat and lose their effective-
ness. It also increases the wear of
the brake components.
If a tire goes flat while you are driv- ing, apply the brakes gently and
keep the vehicle pointed straight
ahead while you slow down. When
you are moving slowly enough for it
to be safe to do so, pull off the road
and stop in a safe place.
If your vehicle is equipped with an Intelligent Variable Transmission /
Dual clutch transmission, don't let
your vehicle creep forward. To
avoid creeping forward, keep your
foot firmly on the brake pedal when
the vehicle is stopped.
Be cautious when parking on a hill. Firmly engage the parking brake
and place the shift lever in P (intel-
ligent variable transmission). If
your vehicle is facing downhill, turn
the front wheels into the curb to
help keep the vehicle from rolling.
WARNING- Maintaining
Brake Pressure on Incline
HAC does not replace the need
to apply brakes while stopped on
an incline. While stopped, make
sure you maintain brake pres-
sure sufficient to prevent your
vehicle from rolling backward
and causing an accident. Don’t
release the brake pedal until you
are ready to accelerate forward.

The SCC system has malfunc-
tioned.
When the braking control is operat- ed for Forward Collision-Avoidance
Assist(FCA).
The vehicle is stopped for more than 5 minutes.
The driver starts driving by pushing the toggle switch up (RES+)/down
(SET-) or depressing the accelera-

tance on the LCD display will go off.)
If the smart cruise control is can-
celled automatically, the smart cruise
control will not resume even though
the RES+ or SET-lever is moved.
✽ ✽
NOTICE
If the smart cruise control is cancelled
by other than the reasons mentioned,
take your vehicle to an authorized
Kia dealer and have the system
checked.
✽ ✽NOTICE
If the system is automatically can-
celled, the warning chime will sound
and a message will appear for a few
seconds.
You must adjust the vehicle speed by
depressing the accelerator or brake
pedal according to the road and
driving conditions ahead.
Always check the road conditions.
Do not rely on the warning chime.

Driving your vehicle
RCCW (Rear Cross-Traffic
Collision Warning)
When your vehicle moves backwards
from a parking position, the sensor
detects approaching vehicles to the
left or right side and gives informa-
tion to the driver.
Operating conditions to operate
Go to “User Settings →Driving
Assist and select Rear Cross
Traffic Collision Warning” on the
LCD display.
The system will turn on and stand-
by to activate. If you deactivate this
function in the cluster, the system
will stop.
❈ For more information, refer to the
“LCD Display” section in Chapter 4.
✽ ✽
NOTICE
• If the vehicle is turned off and on
again, the RCCW system will
return to the state right before the
vehicle was turned off.
• The system will activate when vehicle speed is below 10 km/h (6.2
mph) and with the shift lever in R
(Reverse).
• The Rear Cross-Traffic Collision Warning (RCCW) detecting range
is approximately 0.5 m ~ 20 m (1 ft
~ 65 ft) in the direction of both lat-
eral sides of the car.
An approaching vehicle will be
detected if its vehicle speed is with-
in 4 km/h ~ 36 km/h (2.5 ~ 22.5
mph).
Note that the detecting range may
vary under certain conditions. As
always, use caution and pay close
attention to your surroundings
when backing up your vehicle.

What to do in an emergency
If the engine stalls at a cross-
road or crossing
If the engine stalls at a crossroad or
crossing, set the shift lever in the N
(Neutral) position and then push the
vehicle to a safe place.
If you have a flat tire while
driving
If a tire goes flat while you are driv-
ing:
1. Take your foot off the acceleratorpedal and let the vehicle slow
down while driving straight ahead.
Do not apply the brakes immedi-
ately or attempt to pull off the road
as this may cause a loss of con-
trol. When the vehicle has slowed
to such a speed that it is safe to do
so, brake carefully and pull off the
road. Drive off the road as far as
possible and park on firm level
ground. If you are on a divided
highway, do not park in the median
area between the two traffic lanes. 2. When the vehicle is stopped, turn
on your emergency hazard flash-
ers, set the parking brake and put
the transmission in P (for Intelligent
Variable Transmission) or in
reverse (Manual Transmission).
3. Have all passengers get out of the vehicle. Be sure they all get out on
the side of the vehicle that is away
from traffic.
4. When changing a flat tire, follow the instruction provided later in
this section.
If the engine stalls while driv-
ing
1. Reduce your speed gradually,keeping a straight line. Move cau-
tiously off the road to a safe place.
2. Turn on your emergency flashers.
3. Try to start the engine again. If your vehicle will not start, contact
an authorized Kia dealer or seek
other qualified assistance.
✽ ✽NOTICE
If there was a check engine light and
loss of power or stall, and if safe to
do so, wait at least 10 seconds to
restart the vehicle after it stalls. This
may reset the car so it will no longer
run at low power (limp home) condi-
tion.
