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 or go to settings in the Audio
Head Unit*. 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.

Sorento HEV is equipped with Dual Clutch Transmission (DCT ). The
following are unique driving tips for the Dual Clutch Transmission:
• To hold the vehicle stationary on an incline, the service brake or parking brake MUST be used or the gear shift MUST be in
the (P) Park position. If the vehicle is held stationary by applying the accelerator pedal on a slope, the clutch/transmission
may overheat, resulting in damage
• Avoid aggressive launches on steep grades as this may result in an overheated clutch and transmission
• A slight time lag may be experienced at takeoff from standstill during aggressive acceleration maneuvers
If the clutch is overheating, an amber warning light* will be displayed in the instrument cluster.
Should this condition occur, pull over and place the vehicle in Park and idle the engine.
Refer to section 5 in the Owner’s Manual for additional information on Automatic Gear Shift or DCT operation or call Kia Consumer Affairs for additional information.

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,

Rear Occupant Alert (ROA) with Ultrasonic Sensors*†6
Rear Occupant Alert (ROA) with Ultrasonic Sensors can help alert the driver when rear
passenger(s) are left in the rear seats using the ultrasonic sensors and door monitoring.
The system is designed to provide three separate alerts:
• The 1st alert is a message on the Instrument Cluster, “Check Rear Seats” A, and a
chime will sound
After the 1st alert, when the doors are locked and there is movement detected in the rear
seats, the horn will sound for about 25 seconds. This alert may activate up to eight times
within 24 hours, if movement is still detected and system has not been disabled
• If you have installed the Kia Access with UVO Link app on your smartphone, logged in
and activated the Rear Occupant Alert notification, a third alert (notification) will be sent
to your phone
To turn the system on or off, in the Instrument Cluster or Audio Head Unit*, go to User
Settings, select Convenience, and then Rear Occupant Alert.
Rear Occupant with Ultrasonic Sensors activates under the following conditions:
• A rear passenger door is opened and closed
• The ignition has been turned off
• The driver’s door has been opened, then closed
• The doors are locked with the Smart Key or the door lock
button on the door handle

B
REMINDERS: •
To avoid false alerts, make sure the vehicle’s windows are rolled up •
If objects such as boxes are stacked in front of the ultrasonic sensors, the system may not detect any movement •
The ultrasonic sensors may occasionally detect movement in the vehicle and cause false alerts, when there are no rear occupants present. False alerts can occur due to:– The presence of insects near the system sensor– Rushing air from a window that is rolled down– Movement around the exterior of the vehicle– Surrounding noise or vibration– Vehicle passing through a car wash– Movement in the driver or front passenger seat is detected •
The Rear Occupant Alert with Ultrasonic Sensors system may fail to detect movement and activate an alarm if: – Movement is subtle or does not continue – A small child sits directly in a seat without a car seat–
A rear passenger is covered with an object such as a blanket, obstructing the sensor’s view

•
The 1st alert message will not display on Instrument Cluster if the rear doors are never opened. Either rear doors must be opened after unlocking the vehicle before the system will activate.
•
To temporarily disable alerts, press the OK button B on the Steering Wheel while the message is displayed
•
To turn the alert off while sounding, press the unlock button on the Smart Key or press the door lock button on the door handle
•
Must be enrolled in UVO services and Kia Access app installed on the phone to receive ROA alert notifications on your smartphone
