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

the vehicle ahead
Smart Cruise Control (SCC) system
uses a sensor to detect distance to
the vehicle ahead.
If the sensor is covered with dirt or
other foreign matter, the vehicle to
vehicle distance control may not
operate correctly.
Always keep the sensor clean.
Warning message
Smart Cruise Control disabled. Radar
blocked
When the sensor lens cover is cov-
ered with dirt, snow, or debris, Smart
Cruise Control (SCC) system opera-

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.

The system responds to curveslocated on the destination set in
the navigation. If the destination is
not set, the system will respond to
road information of the expected
route.✽ ✽ NOTICE
• Navigation-based Smart Cruise
Control is limited in other coun-
tries.
• The system may not operate due to the existence of leading vehicles
and the driving situations of the
vehicle.
• The system operates regardless of whether the sharp curve warning
appears on the navigation, but the
time gap could occur between the
warning and system operation.
• The navigation only provides curve information within permit-
ted speed ranges so that the system
may not decrease its speed during
extreme over-speed driving.
• The system is not designed to work on highways other than mentioned
as a controlled access road.
• The system automatically cancels when you leave the highway. (Continued)(Continued)
• Highway Driving Assist and
Navigation-based Smart Cruise
Control uses the same “AUTO”
symbol that indicates the status of
the system. Therefore, even if the
Navigation-based Cruise Control
is off, the “AUTO” symbol may be
displayed.
• If there is a problem with Navigation-based Smart Cruise
Control, the system cannot be acti-
vated in the AVN system screen,
and the “AUTO” symbol will turn
off. However, if Highway Driving
Assist is activated, the “AUTO”
symbol will be displayed.
• After you pass through a tollgate on a highway, the system operates
based on the first lane. If you enter
one of the other lanes, the system
might not properly decelerate.
• If you over speed, the system may not decelerate the vehicle in a
curve.
• Deceleration by the system may not be sufficient if the driver accel-
erates while the system is operat-
ing, (Continued)
