Function operating
If temporary deceleration is required
in the standby state and Navigation-
based Smart Cruise Control is oper-
ating, the green ( ) symbol will
illuminate on the cluster.
If the Set Speed Auto Change func-

✽ ✽
NOTICE
Highway Auto Curve Slowdown and
Set Speed Auto Change function
uses the same ( ) symbol.
Highway Auto Curve Slowdown
Depending on the curve ahead on
the highway (or motorway), the
vehicle will decelerate, and after
passing the curve, the vehicle will
accelerate to Smart Cruise Control
set speed.
Vehicle deceleration time may dif-
fer depending on the vehicle speed
and the degree of the curve on the
road. The higher the driving speed,
the faster the vehicle will deceler-
ate.Limitations of the function
Navigation-based Smart Cruise
Control may not operate normally
under the following circumstances:
The navigation is not working prop-
erly.
The navigation is not updated to
include the latest information about
road curvature and changes.
Speed limit and road information in
the navigation is not updated
The map information and the actu-
al road is different because of real-
time GPS data or map information
error
The navigation searches for a
route while driving
GPS signals are blocked in areas
such as a tunnel
A road that divides into two or
more roads and joins again
The driver goes off course the
route set in the navigation
The route to the destination is
changed or canceled by resetting
the navigation (including TPEG
change)

The navigation cannot detect the
current vehicle position (ex: elevat-
ed roads including overpass adja-
cent to general roads or nearby
roads exist in a parallel way)
The vehicle enters a service sta-
tion or rest area
The speed limit of some sections
changes depending on the road
situations
Android Auto or Car Play is operat-
ing
The navigation is being updated
while driving
The navigation is being restarted

When there is a difference
between the navigation set route
(branch line) and the driving route
(main road), Highway Auto Curve
Slowdown function may not oper-
ate until the driving route is recog-
nized as the main road. When the vehicle's driving route is
recognized as the main road by
maintaining the main road instead
of the navigation set route,
Highway Auto Curve Slowdown
function will operate. Depending on
the distance to the curve and the
current vehicle speed, vehicle
deceleration may not be sufficient
or may decelerate rapidly.

When there is a difference
between the navigation route
(main road) and the driving route
(branch line), Highway Auto Curve
Slowdown function may temporari-
ly operate due to the navigation
information of the highway curve
section.
When it is judged that you are driv-
ing out of the route by entering the
highway interchange and junction,
Highway Auto Curve Slowdown
function will not operate.

If there is no destination set on the
navigation, Highway Auto Curve
Slowdown function will operate
based on the curve information on
the main road.
Even if you depart from the main
road, Highway Auto Curve
Slowdown function may temporari-
ly operate due to navigation infor-
mation of the highway curve sec-
tion

WARNING
Navigation-based Smart
Cruise Control is not a substi-
tute for safe driving practices,
but a convenience function.
Always have your eyes on the
road, and it is the responsibil-
ity of the driver to avoid violat-
ing traffic laws.
The navigation's speed limit
information may differ from
the actual speed limit informa-
tion on the road. It is the dri-
ver's responsibility to check
the speed limit on the actual
driving road or lane.
Highway Auto Curve
Slowdown will automatically
cancel when you leave the
main road of the highway.
Always pay attention to road
and driving conditions while
driving.

Driving your vehicle
After you pass through a tollgate
on a highway, Navigation-based
Smart Cruise Control operates
based on the first lane. If you enter
one of the other lanes, the function
might not properly decelerate.
The vehicle will accelerate if the
driver depresses the accelerate
pedal while Navigation-based
Smart Cruise Control is operating,
and function will not decelerate the
vehicle. If not depressing the accel-
erator pedal sufficiently, the vehicle
speed may decrease.
If the driver accelerates and
releases the accelerator pedal
while the Navigation-based Smart
Cruise Control is operating, the
vehicle may not decelerate suffi-
ciently or may rapidly decelerate to
a safe speed.
If the curve is too large or too
small, Navigation-based Smart
Cruise Control may not operate.✽ ✽
NOTICE
• When the function is activated, the
vehicle decelerates automatically
before reaching the curved road
according to its curvature, and the
driving speed returns to the speed
set by Smart Cruise Control after
passing the curved section.
• The speed information on the clus-
ter and navigation may differ
• The time gap could occur between
the navigation's guidance and
when Navigation-based Smart
Cruise Control operation starts
and ends.
• Even if you are driving at a speed
lower than Smart Cruise Control
set speed, acceleration may be lim-
ited by the speeding cameras and
curve sections ahead.
• If Navigation-based Smart Cruise
Control is operating while leaving
the main road to enter an inter-
change, junction, rest area, etc.,
the function may operate for a cer-
tain period of time.
(Continued)(Continued)
Navigation-based Smart
Cruise Control may not oper-
ate due to the existence of
leading vehicles and the driv-
ing conditions of the vehicle.
Always pay attention to road
and driving conditions while
driving.
When you are towing a trailer
or another vehicle, we recom-
mend that Navigation-based
Smart Cruise Control is
turned off due to safety rea-
sons.

• Deceleration by Navigation-based

sufficient due to road conditions
such as uneven road surfaces, nar-
row lanes, etc.

HDA is designed to control the vehi-
cle distance and speed of the vehicle
when driving on a highway.
The function assists drivers by
receiving information about the
speed limit of the highway that the
vehicle is on and automatically
changing the set speed of Smart
Cruise Control when needed.✽ ✽
NOTICE
• HDA is available only on con-
trolled access road of certain high-
ways.
❈ ❈
Controlled access road indi-
cates roads with limited
entrances and exits that allow
uninterrupted high speed traf-
fic flow. Only passenger cars
and motorcycles are allowed on
controlled access roads.
• Additional highways may be
expanded by navigation updates.
HIGHWAY DRIVING ASSIST (HDA) (IF EQUIPPED)
WARNING
HDA is not a substitute for
safe driving practices, but a
convenience function. It is the
responsibility of the driver to
always be aware of the sur-
roundings and drive safely.
HDA relies entirely on the
road information provided by
the navigation system. It is the
responsibility of the driver to
follow traffic laws and avoid
accidents.
Turn off Highway Driving
Assist when the vehicle is
being towed.
For your safety, please read
the owner's manual before
using the function.

HDA malfunction
This message shows that there is a
problem with HDA, so have your
vehicle inspected by an authorized
Kia dealer.
✽ ✽
NOTICE
• High Driving Assist is limited in
other countries.
• High Driving Assist only operates
based on the speed limits of the
highway but it does not work with
the speed cameras.
• The time gap could occur between
the navigation speed warning and
function operation.
• The function is not designed to
work on highways other than
mentioned as a controlled access
road. The function automatically
cancels when you leave the high-
way.
• If there is a problem with
Highway Driving Assist, the func-
tion cannot be activated in the
Infotainment System screen.
• If your vehicle is 1640 ft. (500 m)
ahead and behind of an open toll-
gate, the function is automatically
canceled. Also, it is converted to
Smart Cruise Control automati-
cally with a pop-up message on the
navigation.
(Continued)(Continued)
• In the automatic speed setting
mode, the vehicle automatically
accelerates or decelerates when
the highway speed limit changes.
• If your vehicle speed exceeds 95
mph (153 km/h), Highway Driving
Assist is automatically canceled.
Also, it is converted to Smart
Cruise Control automatically with
a pop-up message on the naviga-
tion.
• If you enter a rest area on the
highway or a IC/JC
(intersection/junction) without a
destination set, the function is can-
celed later than when the vehicle
actually leaves the highway.
