*IF EQUIPPED †LEGAL DISCL AIMERS ON BACK INSIDE COVER26SORENTO FEATURES & FUNCTIONS GUIDE
The Smart Cruise Control with Stop & Go* system 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 automatically slow to maintain a
set distance between traffic without depressing the accelerator or brake pedal.
With the SCC on and activated, the 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.
On some models, press the Driving Assist Mode CRUISE button* on the Steering Wheel to activate and the speed will be set to the
current vehicle speed. SCC may decrease the speed to maintain the distance with the vehicle in front.
To set/adjust the SCC speed:
•Push the Driving Assist CRUISE / Driving Assist Mode CRUISE button* A to turn the system ON & set the current speed
(One-Touch Set). The cruise indicator will illuminate on the instrument cluster
•Accelerate/decelerate to the desired speed and press lever B down to set the speed
•Press the RES+/SET- (+/-) 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 C
To set the vehicle distance: Press the Vehicle Distance button D on the steering wheel. The image on the LCD screen C will change when scrolling through
the settings. Each time the button is pressed, the vehicle distance changes.
To cancel or pause SCC operation: Press the CANCEL* or pause button* B. The cruise indicator on the instrument cluster will turn OFF.
To turn SCC OFF: Press the Driving Assist CRUISE / Driving Assist Mode CRUISE button A. The cruise indicator on the instrument cluster will turn OFF.
To adjust the sensitivity of the SCC system: Press the mode
button E on the Steering Wheel. With the OK button F, select
Driver 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 A. Repeat to switch back to SCC
mode ( The SCC system must not be activated to change modes.
Some Kia models use the CRUISE button).
Smart Cruise Control (SCC) with Stop & Go*†6
The SCC system 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.

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”)
Bluetooth® Wireless Technology†5,23 (continued)

•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 system may register or pair multiple Bluetooth® devices. See the Car Infotainment System Quick Reference Guide for more information on setup and limitations.

When you select AWD Lock mode by pressing
the AWD LOCK button A, the AWD LOCK mode
increases the drive power when driving on wet
pavement, snow covered roads and/or off-road.
•This mode is used for climbing or descending
sharp grades, off-road driving, driving on
sandy and muddy roads, etc., to improve
traction
•This mode automatically shifts back to
AWD AUTO mode at speed above 19 mph.
If the vehicle decelerates to speeds below
approximate 25 mph, however, the transfer
mode is shifted into AWD LOCK mode again
When the AWD LOCK mode is deactivated, a
shock may be felt as the drive power is delivered
entirely to the front wheels. This shock is not a
mechanical failure.
AWD (All-Wheel Drive) Lock*Idle, Stop & Go (ISG) System
The ISG system is designed to reduce fuel
consumption by automatically shutting down
the engine when the vehicle is at a standstill.
When the ISG system is ON and the vehicle
is at a standstill, the engine will stop, and the
green AUTO STOP indicator B on the
instrument cluster will illuminate.
The engine will restart when the brake pedal
is released or the shift lever is moved from
D (Drive) to the R (Reverse) position or to
Manual Shift mode. When engine restarts,
the green AUTO STOP indicator on the
instrument cluster will turn off.
To deactivate the ISG System, press the
ISG OFF button C. If you press again, the
system will be activated.
REMINDERS:
•ISG is active by default at vehicle startup. When ignition is cycled, ISG will turn ON again
•
Under certain conditions, the engine will restart automatically even if the brake pedal is still depressed
•
If the AUTO STOP indicator is continuously blinking yellow and the ISG button LED is on, please contact an authorized Kia dealer

•If the AUTO STOP indicator A is solid yellow, the system is functional, but just has not met all its enabling criteria to activate ISG at that time.
•
The ISG system is disabled when:
•A seat belt is unfastened
•The hood or a door is opened
•Battery condition is poor
•
The front or rear defroster is turned on
•
Engine coolant temperature is low
•
The outside ambient temperature is too low/high
