Smart cruise control system mal-function message
The message will appear when the
vehicle to vehicle distance control
system is not functioning normally.
Take your vehicle to an authorized
Kia dealer and have the system
checked. Always keep the sensor and
bumper clean.
Use only a genuine Kia sensor cover for your vehicle.
Do not install accessories around the sensor and do not replace the
bumper by yourself. It may interfere
with the sensor performance.
Impact damage to the sensor or sensor area may cause the sensor
to move slightly off position and
result in the smart cruise control
system not operating correctly
without any warning or indicator
from the cluster. If this occurs, have
your vehicle checked by an author-
ized Kia dealer as soon as possi-
ble.
Use only a genuine Kia sensor cover for your vehicle. Do not paint
anything on the sensor cover.
If the front bumper becomes dam- aged in the area around the radar
sensor, the Smart Cruise Control
System may not operate properly.
CAUTION - Sensor

On inclines
During uphill or downhill driving, the
smart cruise control system may
not immediately detect a moving
vehicle in your lane, and may cause
your vehicle to accelerate to the set
speed. Also, the vehicle speed will
rapidly slow down when the vehicle
ahead is recognized suddenly.
Select the appropriate set speed on inclines and adjust your vehicle
speed by depressing the accelera-
tor or brake pedal according to the
road condition ahead.
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 sensor may not detect imme- diately when a vehicle cuts in sud-
denly. Always pay attention to the
traffic, road and driving conditions.
If a vehicle which moves into your lane is slower than your vehicle,
your speed may decrease to main-
tain the distance to the vehicle
ahead. If a vehicle which moves into your
lane is faster than your vehicle,
your vehicle will accelerate to the
selected speed.

Driving your vehicle
- After an engine start, please stopfor several seconds. If system ini-
tialization is not completed, the
smart cruise control system will not
operate.
- After an engine start, if the sensor cover is obscured with foreign sub-
stances, there is a possibility that
the smart cruise control system
may not work.
- The following conditions may cause a malfunction: over-loading
the liftgate, suspension modifica-
tion, tire replacement with unau-
thorized tires or tires with different
tread wear and pressure levels.
- Keep a safe distance according to road conditions and vehicle speed.
If the vehicle to vehicle distance is
too close during a high-speed driv-
ing, a serious collision may result.
WARNING - Inclines &
Towing
Do not use smart cruise control
system on steep inclines or
when towing another vehicle or
trailer since such extreme load-
ing can interfere with your vehi-
cle's ability to maintain the
selected speed.WARNING
- Safe Use of smart cruise control system
The smart cruise control system
can provide you with an addition-
al level of safety and fatigue
reduction. However you must
maintain careful observation of
the roadway in front and around
you and maintain control of your
vehicle and spacing around
other vehicles as you normally
would. For example, this will
require you to apply the brakes
as needed when coming upon a
slower moving vehicle, or when a
vehicle from another lane drives
quickly in front of you.
WARNING - Emergency Stops
The smart cruise control sys-
tem may not be able to com-
pletely stop the vehicle or avoid
a collision in every situation. If
an emergency stop is neces-
sary, you must apply the brakes.
