Rear Cross-Traffic Collision Avoidance Assist (RCCA)*†6
REMINDERS:
•
The RCCA feature can be turned OFF/ON in User Settings, under Driver Assistance, Parking Safety
•
When vehicle power is cycled, RCCA will remain in the previous state
•
When a vehicle is approaching within the sensing range, and traveling faster than 3 mph, the RCCA system will show a warning
•
The RCCA systems is a supplemental system. Do not solely rely on this system and always pay attention to the road and its conditions
Rear Cross-Traffic Collision-Avoidance Assist (RCCA) is designed to warn the driver, under certain
conditions, may activate the Electronic Stability Control (ESC) and temporarily apply braking if it
detects cross traffic approaching the vehicle, when vehicle is in reverse.
Initially, RCCA provides Rear Cross-Traffic Collision Warning (RCCW ) when the system sensors
detect approaching vehicles or pedestrians from the rear left or rear right side of the vehicle A.
RCCA will sound a warning, the warning indicators on the outside rearview mirror will illuminate
and a message will appear on the Instrument Cluster LCD B. If RCCA detects that the collision
risk has increased, the system automatically applies the brakes to reduce your speed, potentially
helping to minimize the effects of a possible collision.
RCCA is designed to operate under the following conditions:
• When the gear shift is in Reverse
• When the vehicle is moving slower than 6 mph
RCCA User Settings:
• To go to the User Settings menu in the Instrument Cluster, press the Mode button C
on the Steering Wheel when the vehicle is at a standstill, gear shift in Park and with the
ignition on or the Engine Start /Stop button* in the ON position, and select User Settings
• To turn RCCA on when in User Settings , press the Move (OK ) button D up/down, select
Driver Assistance, Parking Safety, Rear Cross-Traffic Safety and then press OK D
• To set the initial warning activation time, go to User Settings , press the Move (OK ) button D
up/down, then go to Driver Assistance, Warning Time and press the OK button D
• There are two settings:
– Early/Normal: Maximizes the amount of distance between the
vehicles before the initial warning occurs
– Late: Reduces the amount of distance between the vehicles
before the initial warning occurs
• Some models access settings through the Vehicle Settings in the
audio head unit. Press the Setup hard key on the audio head unit,
then VEHICLE on the screen to enter Vehicle Settings
Refer to section 4 in the Owner’s Manual for more information.

RCCA Warning Volume can be adjusted in the User Settings in the Instrument Cluster or the Vehicle Settings on the audio head unit. Go to Driver Assistance, then Warning Volume

For illustrative purposes only. Your actual steering wheel and/or paddle shifters may vary.
Dual Clutch Transmission (DCT)
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.

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 liftgate must be closed, and the
driver’s seat belt must be fastened.
The AUTO HOLD indicator on the Instrument Cluster has four
states:
White: Standby – When vehicle is in Park and at a standstill, and
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.

•When leaving your keys with parking lot attendants or valet, make sure to inform them how to operate the EPB •If parked on a steep incline/decline, pull up the EPB switch for more than 3 seconds for a firmer EPB application •Pull up and hold EPB switch a second time to increase brake pressure if parked on a decline or incline
QUICK TIPS
Electronic Parking Brake (EPB)*
REMINDERS:
