SCC is a supplemental system and is not a substitute for safe driving. It is the responsibility of the driver to always check the speed and distance to the vehicle ahead.
For illustrative purposes only. Your actual display, buttons and/or features may vary.
See section 5 in the Owner’s Manual for more information.
Smart Cruise Control (SCC)† 6 a , 21
Smart Cruise Control (SCC) is designed to maintain a predetermined distance from vehicles detected ahead by automatically
adjusting the driving speed as needed. When traffic is detected, the vehicle will slow down to maintain a set distance behind
traffic without depressing the accelerator or brake pedal.
With SCC on and activated and the vehicle distance set, when 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, SCC 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:
•Accelerate/decelerate to the desired speed
•Press the Driving Assist button A to turn system ON and set speed. The CRUISE
indicator will illuminate on the instrument cluster and the set speed will automatically
activate at the vehicle’s current speed
•Press the button B inward to pause/resume the cruise control
•Press the +/- button B up/down to increase/decrease the set speed. The SET indicator
light, set speed and vehicle distance will illuminate on the instrument cluster’s LCD
screen
To set the vehicle distance: Press the Vehicle Distance button C on the steering
wheel. Scroll through the selections and the vehicle-to-vehicle distance image changes
and displays on the Instrument Cluster LCD.
To pause/resume SCC operation: Press the button B to pause or resume Cruise Control.
To turn SCC system OFF: Press the Driving Assist button A. The CRUISE indicator on the
instrument cluster will turn OFF.
To adjust the sensitivity of SCC: Press the mode button D on the Steering Wheel. With the OK
button E, select Drive Assistance, then SCC Response. Then select Fast, Normal or Slow.
To change the cruise control mode from SCC to standard cruise control, press and hold
button C. Repeat to switch back to SCC mode (the SCC system must not be activated
to change modes).

Voice Recognition and Phone Contact Tips
The system may have difficulty understanding
some accents or uncommon names. Improve the
performance by making a few simple changes
to your phone contacts, listed below. To help
optimize the Bluetooth® Wireless Technology Voice
Recognition system, see other tips and reminders
under Quick Tips.
•Use full names (first and last names) vs. short
or single-syllable names (“John Smith” vs.
“Dad," “Smith Residence” vs. “Home”)
•Avoid using special characters, emojis or
hyphenated names (@, &, #, /, -, *, +, etc.)
•Avoid using acronyms (“In Case of Emergency”
vs. “ICE”) or words with all capital letters
•Spell words completely, no abbreviations
(“Doctor Smith” vs. “Dr. Smith”)
• The system may register or pair multiple Bluetooth® devices. See the Car Infotainment System Quick Reference Guide for more information on setup and limitations
• Bluetooth® Music Streaming – If the Bluetooth® music is inaudible or too low, you may need to turn up the volume on the connected phone
• When placing a call, speak in a natural, moderate tone, with clear pronunciation. The system may have trouble recognizing commands if you speak too softly or too loudly
• Always wait for the beep before speaking any commands
• Close windows and sunroof and turn off A /C – open windows, sunroof, weather (wind/rain), or an A /C fan operating at higher speeds can interfere with Voice Recognition
• Press the talk button and say “Help” to get a list of available commands

The Electronic Parking Brake (EPB) system utilizes
an electric motor to engage the parking brake.
Applying the Parking Brake
Depress the brake pedal and pull up the EPB
switch A. Ensure that the indicator light is
illuminated on the instrument cluster.
Releasing the Parking Brake
The EPB will automatically release when the
shifter is placed in Reverse or Drive.
To release EPB manually, depress the brake pedal, then press the
EPB switch A, with the ignition switch in the ON position. Ensure
that the indicator light is OFF.
Auto Hold temporarily maintains the vehicle at
a standstill even though the brake pedal is not
depressed after the driver brings the vehicle to a
complete stop by depressing the brake pedal. Auto
Hold can be turned ON/OFF using the AUTO HOLD
button B on the center panel below the gear shift.
Before Auto Hold will operate, the driver’s door,
engine hood and trunk must be closed.
The AUTO HOLD indicator on the Instrument
Cluster has four states:
White: Standby – With vehicle in Park and at a
standstill, when the AUTO HOLD button B
is pressed on, the indicator will illuminate white.
While driving the vehicle (vehicle is not at a
standstill), the Auto Hold indicator will remain white.
Green: Engaged – When coming to a complete
stop by depressing the brake pedal, the Auto Hold
indicator changes from white to green.
Off (not illuminated) – The indicator will turn OFF when the AUTO HOLD button B is manually pressed OFF or when the EPB is manually turned ON.
Yellow: Malfunction – When the indicator is illuminated yellow, there may be a
system malfunction. Take your vehicle to a local Kia dealer.
REMINDERS:
• Auto Hold only operates when vehicle is in Drive or Neutral. Auto Hold turns off when the ignition is cycled
• To reduce the risk of an accident, do not activate Auto Hold while driving downhill, backing up or parking your vehicle
• Do not solely rely on the Auto Hold system to keep the vehicle stopped. Always pay attention to traf fic and road conditions, and be prepared to depress the brakes
