Driving your vehicle
The Smart Cruise Control system
may not properly activate, if the radar
is totally contaminated, or if any sub-
stance is not detected after turning
ON the engine (e.g. in an open ter-
rain).
✽ ✽NOTICE
For SCC system operation is tem-
porarily stopped if the radar is
blocked, but you wish to use cruise
control mode (speed control func-
tion), you must convert to the con-
ventional cruise control mode (refer
to "To convert to Cruise Control
mode" in this chapter.
CAUTION
Do not apply license plate
frame or foreign objects suchas a bumper sticker or abumper guard near the radarsensor. Doing so mayadversely affect the sensingperformance of the radar.
Always keep the radar sensor and lens cover clean and freeof dirt and debris.
Use only a soft cloth to wash the vehicle. Do not spray pres-surized water directly on thesensor or sensor cover.
Be careful not to apply unnec- essary force on the radar sen-sor or sensor cover. If the sen-sor is forcibly moved out ofproper alignment, SCC systemmay not operate correctly. Inthis case, a warning messagemay not be displayed. Havethe system checked by anauthorized K900 Kia dealer.
(Continued)
(Continued) If the front bumper becomes damaged in the area aroundthe radar sensor, SCC systemmay not operate properly. Werecommend that you have thesystem checked by an author-ized K900 Kia dealer.
Use only Kia parts to repair or replace a damaged sensor orsensor cover. Do not applypaint to the sensor cover.

Check Smart Cruise Control System
The message will appear when the
vehicle to vehicle distance control
system is not functioning normally.
Have the system checked by an
authorized K900 Kia dealer.
To adjust the sensitivity of
Smart Cruise Control
The sensitivity of vehicle speed
when following the front vehicle to
maintain the set distance can be
adjusted. Go to the “AVN → Setup →
Vehicle →Driver Assistance → SCC
Reaction →Fast/Normal/Slow” on
the LCD display.
You may select one of the three
stages you prefer.
- Fast:
Vehicle speed to the vehicle ahead
to maintain the set distance is
faster than normal speed.
- Normal: Vehicle speed to the vehicle ahead
maintain the set distance is nor-
mal.
- Slow: Vehicle speed to the vehicle ahead
to maintain the set distance is
slower than normal speed.
✽ ✽ NOTICE
The last selected speed sensitivity of
the smart cruise control is remem-
bered in the system.

Driving your vehicle
To convert to Cruise Control
mode
The driver may choose to only use
the conventional Cruise Control
mode (speed control function) by
doing as follows:1. Turn Smart Cruise Control system
on (the cruise indicator light will be
on but the system will not be acti-
vated).
2. Push and hold the Vehicle-to- Vehicle Distance button for more
than 2 seconds.
3. Choose between "Smart Cruise Control" and "Cruise Control".
When the system is canceled using
the CRUISE button or the CRUISE
button is used after the engine is
turned on, the Smart Cruise Control
mode will turn on.
Limitations of the system
Smart Cruise Control system may
have limits to its ability to detect dis-
tance to the vehicle ahead due to
road and traffic conditions.
WARNING
When using the Cruise Control
mode, you must manually
adjust the distance to other
vehicles by depressing the
brake pedal. The system does
not automatically adjust the dis-
tance to vehicles in front of you.

On curves
Smart Cruise Control system may
not detect a moving vehicle in your
lane, and then your vehicle could
accelerate to the set speed. Also,
the vehicle speed will decrease
when the vehicle ahead is recog-
nized suddenly.
Select the appropriate set speed on curves and apply the brakes or
accelerator pedal if necessary. Your vehicle speed can be reduced
due to a vehicle in the adjacent lane.
Apply the accelerator pedal and
select the appropriate set speed.
Check to be sure that the road con-
ditions permit safe operation of the
Smart Cruise Control.
On inclines
During uphill or downhill driving,
Smart Cruise Control system may
not detect a moving vehicle in your
lane, and cause your vehicle to
accelerate to the set speed. Also,
the vehicle speed will rapidly
decrease when the vehicle ahead
is recognized suddenly.
Select the appropriate set speed on inclines and apply the brake or
accelerator pedal if necessary.

Lane changing
A vehicle which moves into yourlane from an adjacent lane cannot
be recognized by the sensor until it
is in the sensor's detection range.
The radar may not immediately detect when a vehicle cuts in sud-
denly. Always pay attention to the
traffic, road and driving conditions.
If a slower vehicle moves into your lane, your speed may decrease to
maintain the distance to the vehicle
ahead.
If a faster vehicle which moves into your lane, your vehicle will acceler-
ate to the set speed.
Vehicle recognition
Some vehicles in your lane cannot
be recognized by the sensor:
- Narrow vehicles such as motorcy-cles or bicycles
- Vehicles offset to one side
- Slow-moving vehicles or sudden- decelerating vehicles
- Stopped vehicles
- Vehicles with small rear profile such as trailers with no loads A vehicle ahead cannot be recog-
nized correctly by the sensor if any of
following occurs:
- When the vehicle is pointing
upwards due to overloading in the
luggage compartment
- While the steering wheel is operat- ing
- When driving to one side of the lane
- When driving on narrow lanes or on curves
Apply the brake or accelerator pedal
if necessary.

Your vehicle may accelerate when
a vehicle ahead of you moves out
of the sensor's range and is not
detected.
When you are warned that the vehicle ahead of you is not detect-
ed, drive with caution. When driving in stop-and-go traffic,
and a stopped vehicle in front of
you merges out of the lane, the
system may not immediately
detect the new vehicle that is now
in front of you. In this case, you
must maintain a safe braking dis-
tance, and if necessary, depress
the brake pedal to reduce your
driving speed in order to maintain a
safe distance. Always look out for pedestrians
when your vehicle is maintaining a
distance with the vehicle ahead.

rying loads that sticks out from the
back of the vehicle.

WARNING
When using Smart Cruise
Control (SCC) system, take the
following precautions:
If an emergency stop is nec-essary, you must apply the
brakes. SCC system cannot
guarantee the stop for every
emergency situation.
Keep a safe distance accord- ing to road conditions and
vehicle speed. If the vehicle to
vehicle distance is too close
during high-speed driving, a
serious collision may result.
Always maintain sufficient braking distance and deceler-
ate your vehicle by applying
the brakes if necessary.
Smart Cruise Control (SCC) system may not recognize a
stopped vehicle, pedestrians or
an oncoming vehicle.
(Continued)
(Continued)Always look ahead cautiously
in order to react to unexpected
and sudden situations.
Vehicles moving in front of you making frequent lane changes
may cause a delay in the sys-
tem's reaction or may cause
the system to react to a vehicle
actually in an adjacent lane.
Always drive cautiously in
order to react to unexpected
and sudden situations.
Always be aware of the select- ed speed and vehicle to vehi-
cle distance. The driver
should not solely rely on the
system but always pay atten-
tion to driving conditions and
control vehicle speed.
The Smart Cruise Control sys- tem may not recognize com-
plex driving situations, so
always pay attention to driv-
ing conditions and control
your vehicle speed.
