Smart Cruise Control (SCC) with Stop & Go System*† 6 a ,1 8
The Smart Cruise Control (SCC) system allows you to set the vehicle to maintain a speed so long as
it is not limited by traffic . When traffic is encountered, the vehicle may be slowed to help maintain a
set distance behind traffic detected ahead without the driver depressing the brake pedal .
With the SCC on and activated, the vehicle-to-vehicle distance set, and the system detects a vehicle
slowing or stopping, the system can bring the vehicle to a complete stop . When the vehicle ahead
starts to move forward, the SCC system re-engages . If the vehicle ahead stops for more than 3
seconds, the accelerator pedal or the RES+ button must be pressed to start moving the vehicle .
To set/adjust the SCC speed:
•Push the CRUISE button A to turn system ON . The CRUISE indicator will illuminate on the
instrument cluster
•Accelerate/decelerate to the desired speed .
•Press button B down to set the speed . The SET indicator light will illuminate .The set speed and
vehicle-to-vehicle distance will illuminate on the LCD screen . Press the RES+/SET- button B up/
down to increase/decrease the set speed
To adjust the vehicle-to-vehicle distance setting C: Press the SCC button D on the steering
wheel . The images on the LCD screen E and the Instrument Cluster F will change when scrolling
through the settings . Each time the button is pressed, the vehicle-to-vehicle distance changes .
To cancel SCC operation: Press the CANCEL button G or press the brake pedal .
The LCD screen will display a message that the SCC operation is canceled H .
To turn SCC system OFF: Press the CRUISE button A . The CRUISE indicator on
the instrument cluster will turn OFF .
• To change the Cruise Control mode from SCC to standard Cruise Control, press and hold button D . Repeat to switch modes again ( The SCC system must not be activated to change modes) .
• For the SCC System to operate, you must be traveling at a minimum speed of 20 mph, when no vehicle is in front .
• The Smart Cruise Control System (SCC) is deactivated when driving under the speed of 6 .0 mph
• When following a vehicle, the system will automatically adjust your cruise speed based on the vehicle detected in front .
QUICK TIPS
REMINDERS:
•
In standard Cruise Control, the driver needs to manually assess the distance from other vehicles as the system will not apply brakes to slow down automatically in order to turn SCC ON/OFF
•
SCC system is activated when ignition is turned on . Speed will need to be reset when ignition is cycled on
•
The distance settings are approximations and may vary depending on factory settings at the time . See owner’s manual for more information
•
The SCC is also canceled when the driver’s door is opened, gear shift is changed out of D (Drive) and various other conditions . See owner’s manual for other conditions
•
If the SCC system is left on, it can be activated inadvertently . Keep the system off when not in use to avoid setting a speed which the driver is not aware

Dual Clutch Transmission
The Dual Clutch Transmission (DCT ) gives the driving feel of a manual transmission,
yet provides the ease of a fully automatic transmission .
The following are unique driving tips of the Dual Clutch Transmission:
– To hold the vehicle stationary on an incline, the service brake or parking brake
MUST be used or the gear shift MUST be in the (P) Park position . If the vehicle is
held stationary by applying the accelerator pedal on a slope, the clutch/
transmission may overheat, resulting in damage
– Avoid aggressive launches on steep grades as this may result in an overheated
clutch and transmission
– A slight time lag may be experienced at takeoff from stand still during aggressive
acceleration maneuvers
– If the clutch is over-heating, the first warning, an amber-colored warning light ,
will be displayed in the instrument cluster . When indicator turns red, reduce
speed, pull over and place the vehicle in Park until it cools.
Refer to the Owner’s Manual for additional information on DCT operation or call Kia Consumer Affairs for additional information.
