LKA system fail indicator
The LKA system fail indicator (yel-
low) will illuminate if the LKA system
is not working properly. If this occurs,
have the system checked by an
authorized K900 Kia dealer.
LKA system function change
The driver can change LKA to Lane
Departure Warning (LDW) or change
the LKA mode from the AVN.
Lane Keeping Assist
The LKA mode guides the driver to
keep the vehicle within the lanes. It
rarely controls the steering wheel
when the vehicle drives well inside
the lanes. However, it starts to con-
trol the steering wheel when the
vehicle is about to deviate from the
lanes.
Lane Departure Warning
LDW alerts the driver with a visual
and acoustic warning when the sys-
tem detects the vehicle leaving the
lane. In this mode, the system will not
provide steering inputs. When the
vehicle’s front wheel contacts the
inside edge of lane line, LKA issues
the lane departure warning.

It gently applies braking power on the
tire which is located in the opposite
side of the possibly-colliding point.
The instrument cluster will inform the
driver of the system activation.
Blind-Spot Collision-Avoidance Assist
(BCA) system is automatically deacti-
vated when:
- The vehicle drives a certain dis-
tance away
- The vehicle direction is changed against the possible-colliding point
- The steering wheel is abruptly moved
- The brake pedal is depressed
- After a certain period of time
The driver should drive the vehicle in
the middle of the vehicle lanes to
keep the system in the ready status.
When the vehicle drives too close to
one side of the vehicle lanes, the
system may not properly operate.
In addition, the system may not prop-
erly control your vehicle in accor-
dance with driving situations. Thus,
always pay close attention to road
situations.Detecting Sensor (Front View Camera / Rear Corner Radars)
WARNING
The driver is responsible for accurate steering.
Do not unnecessarily operate the steering wheel when Blind-
Spot Collision-Avoidance
Assist (BCA) system is in oper-
ation.
Always pay extreme caution while driving. Blind-Spot
Collision-Avoidance Assist
(BCA) system may not oper-
ate or unnecessarily operate
in accordance with your driv-
ing situations.
Blind-Spot Collision- Avoidance Assist (BCA) sys-
tem is not a substitute for safe
driving practices, but a con-
venience function only. It is
the responsibility of the driver
to always drive cautiously to
prevent unexpected and sud-
den situations from occur-
ring. Pay attention to the road
conditions at all times.

Follow either of these procedures:
and release it immediately. The cruis-
ing speed will decrease by 1 km/h (1
mph) each time you move the toggle
switch down in this manner.
and hold it. Your vehicle set speed
will decrease by 5 mph (10 km/h).
Release the toggle switch at the
speed you want.
(30 km/h).
To temporarily accelerate with
SCC system on
If you want to speed up temporarily
when the Smart Cruise Control is on,
depress the accelerator pedal.
Increased speed will not interfere
with SCC system operation or
change the set speed.
To return to the set speed, take your
foot off the accelerator pedal.
If you push the toggle switch down
(SET-) at increased speed, the cruis-
ing speed will be set again.
✽ ✽ NOTICE
Be careful when accelerating tem-
porarily, because the speed is not
controlled automatically at this
time even if there is a vehicle in front
of you.
SCC system will be temporarily
canceled when :

SMART mode selects the
proper driving mode
among ECO, COMFORT
and SPORT by judging
the driver's driving habits
(i.e. mild or dynamic) from
the brake pedal depres-
sion or the steering wheel
operation.
Press the DRIVE MODE button to activate SMART mode. When
SMART mode is activated, the
indicator illuminates on the instru-
ment cluster.
The indicator illuminates in blue when the driver's driving is catego-
rized to be mild. It illuminates in
white when the driver's driving is
categorized to be normal. It illumi-
nates in red when the driver's driv-
ing is categorized to be dynamic
during abrupt braking or sharp
curving. The vehicle starts in COMFORT
mode when the engine was turned
OFF in SMART mode.
SMART mode automatically con- trols driving characteristics, such
as gear shifting patterns, engine
torque, ride quality (if equipped
with the electronic suspension sys-
tem), and power distribution (if
equipped with the All-Wheel Drive
(AWD) system), in accordance with
the driver's driving habits.✽ ✽ NOTICE
• When you drive the vehicle mildly
in SMART mode, the driving
mode changes to ECO mode to
improve fuel efficiency. However,
the actual fuel efficiency may dif-
fer in accordance with your driv-
ing situations (i.e. upward/down-
ward slope, vehicle
deceleration/acceleration).
• When you drive the vehicle dynamically in SMART mode by
abruptly decelerating or sharply
curving, the driving mode changes
to SPORT mode. However, it may
adversely affect fuel economy.SMART

Various driving situations which you
may encounter in SMART mode
The driving mode automatically
changes to ECO mode after a cer-
tain period of time when you gently
depress the accelerator pedal
(Your driving is categorized to be
mild).
The driving mode automatically changes from SMART ECO mode
to SMART COMFORT mode after
a certain period of time when you
sharply or repetitively depress the
accelerator pedal.
The driving mode automatically changes to SMART COMFORT
mode with the same driving pat-
terns when the vehicle starts to
drive on an upward slope of a cer-
tain angle. The driving mode auto-
matically returns to SMART ECO
mode when the vehicle enters a
leveled road. The driving mode automatically
changes to SMART SPORT when
you abruptly accelerate the vehicle
or repetitively operate the steering
wheel (Your driving is categorized
to be sporty). In this mode, your
vehicle drives in a lower gear for
faster accelerating/decelerating
and increased engine brake per-
formance.
You may still sense the engine brake performance, even when you
release the accelerator pedal in
SMART SPORT mode. It is
because your vehicle remains to
be in a lower gear over a certain
period of time for next acceleration.
Thus, it is a normal driving situa-
tion, not indicating any malfunc-
tion.
The driving mode automatically changes to SMART SPORT mode
only in harsh driving situations. In
most the normal driving situations,
the driving mode sets to either
SMART ECO mode or SMART
NORMAL mode. Limitations of SMART mode
The SMART mode may be limited in
following situations. (The OFF indica-
tor illuminates these situations.)
The driver manually moves the
shift lever : It deactivates SMART
mode. The vehicle drives, as the
driver manually moves the shift
lever.
The cruise control is activated : The cruise system may deactivate
the SMART mode. When a higher
system is set by the cruise system,
it starts to control vehicle speed
and deactivates SMART mode.
(SMART mode is not deactivated
just by activing the cruise system.)
The transmission oil temperature is either extremely low or extremely
high : The SMART mode can be
active in most normal driving situa-
tions. However, an extremely high/
low transmission oil temperature
may temporarily deactivate the
SMART mode, because the trans-
mission condition is out of normal
operation condition.

When ECO mode is activated:
The acceleration response may be
slightly reduced if the accelerator
pedal is depressed moderately.
The air conditioner performance may be limited.
The shift pattern of the automatic transmission may change.
The engine noise may get louder.
The above situations are normal
conditions when ECO mode is acti-
vated to improve fuel efficiency. Limitation of ECO mode operation:
If the following conditions occur while
ECO mode is operating, the system
operation is limited even though
there is no change in the ECO indi-
cator.
When the coolant temperature is
low:
The system will be limited until
engine performance becomes nor-
mal.
When driving up a hill: The system will be limited to gain
power when driving uphill because
engine torque is restricted.
When driving the vehicle with the automatic transmission gear shift
lever in manual mode.
The system will be limited accord-
ing to the shift location.CUSTOM mode
