(180km/h), all local speed limit
laws must always be followed.To decrease Smart Cruise Control
system set speed:
Follow either of these procedures:
Move the switch down (to SET-), and hold it. Your vehicle set speed will
decrease by 5 mph (10 km/h).
Release the switch at the speed
you want.
Move the switch down (to SET-), and release it immediately. The
cruising speed will decrease by 1.0
mph (1.0 km/h) each time you
move the switch down (to SET-) in
this manner.
You can set the speed to 20 mph (30 km/h).
To temporarily accelerate with
Smart Cruise Control system on :
If you want to speed up temporarily
when the 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.
If you move the switch down (to SET-)
at increased speed, the cruising
speed will be set again.
WARNING
Check driving conditions before
using the switch as driving
speed increases rapidly when
you push up and hold the
switch.

LFA system activation
If the vehicle is inside the lane with
both lanes recognized by the sys-
tem, and there is no steep steering
made by the driver, LFA system
changes into steering assist mode.
The indicator light will come on
green, and the system helps the
vehicle stay in line by controlling the
steering wheel.
When the steering wheel is not con-
trolled temporarily, the indicator light
will flash green and changes to
white.
When the both lanes are not recog-
nized by the system, the system con-
trols the steering wheel limitedly
whether there is a vehicle in front or
not.
Warning
If you keep your hands off the wheel
while driving with LFA system assist-
ing the steering, the hands-off warn-
ing will be triggered.
If the driver keeps hands off the
wheel even with the hands-off warn-
ing on, the steering assist is tem-
porarily released automatically.
If you put your hands back on the
wheel with LFA system released, the
steering assist will re-start.
WARNING
LFA system ensures the vehicle
stays in its lane. LFA system
does not guarantee 100% safe-
ty. Make sure you always check
road conditions and drive safe-
ly at all times.

lanes without the turn signal on,
the steering wheel might be con-
trolled.
The vehicle is not driven in the mid- dle of the lane when the system is
turned on or right after changing a
lane.
ESC (Electronic Stability Control or VSM (Vehicle Stability
Management) is activated.

Warning Timing
The driver can select the initial warn-
ing activation time in the Cluster by
selecting “User Settings →Driver
Assistance →Warning Timing”. The
options for the initial Rear Cross-
Traffic Collision Warning includes the
following: - Normal:
When this condition is selected, the
initial RCCW is activated normally. If
this setting feels too sensitive
change the option to ‘Later’.
The warning activation time may feel
late if the side/rear vehicle abruptly
accelerates.
- Later:
Select this warning activation time
when the traffic is light and you are
driving in a low speed. However, if
you change the warning activation
time, the warning activation time of
vehicle's other system may also
change. Check the warning activa-
tion time before changing it.
Operating conditions
The system will activate when vehi-
cle speed is below 7 mph (10 km/h)
and with the shift lever in R
(Reverse).
* The system will not activate when
the vehicle speed exceeds 7 mph
(10 km/h). The system will activate
again when the speed is below 5
mph (8 km/h).
The system's detecting range is
approximately 0 ~ 82 ft. (0.5 ~ 20 m)
An approaching vehicle will be
detected if their vehicle speed is with-
in 5 ~ 22.5 mph (8 km/h ~ 36 km/h)

The use of chains may adversely
affect vehicle handling.
Do not exceed 20 mph (30 km/h) or the chain manufacturer’s recom-
mended speed limit, whichever is
lower.
Drive carefully and avoid bumps, holes, sharp turns, and other road
hazards, which may cause the
vehicle to bounce.
Avoid sharp turns or locked-wheel braking.Use high quality ethylene gly-
col coolant
Your vehicle is delivered with high
quality ethylene glycol coolant in the
cooling system. It is the only type of
coolant that should be used because
it helps prevent corrosion in the cool-
ing system, lubricates the water
pump and prevents freezing. Be sure
to replace or replenish your coolant
in accordance with the maintenance
schedule in chapter 8. Before winter,
have your coolant tested to assure
that its freezing point is sufficient for
the temperatures anticipated during
the winter.
Check battery and cables
Winter puts additional burdens on
the battery system. Visually inspect
the battery and cables as described
in chapter 8. The level of charge in
your battery can be checked by an
authorized Kia dealer or a service
station.
Change to "winter weight" oil
if necessary
In some climates it is recommended
that a lower viscosity "winter weight"
oil be used during cold weather. See
chapter 9 for recommendations. If
you aren't sure what weight oil you
should use, consult an authorized
Kia dealer.
Check spark plugs and ignition
system
Inspect your spark plugs as
described in chapter 8 and replace
them if necessary. Also check all
ignition wiring and components to be
sure they are not cracked, worn or
damaged in any way.CAUTION- Snow chains
Chains that are the wrong size or improperly installed candamage your vehicle's brakelines, suspension, body andwheels.
Stop driving and retighten the chains any time you hear themhitting the vehicle.
