Smart Cruise Control (SCC)*†6
Smart Cruise Control 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 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, 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.
To set/adjust SCC speed:
•Press the Driving Assist CRUISE button A to turn system ON and set speed. The CRUISE indicator
will illuminate on the instrument cluster
•Accelerate/decelerate to the desired speed
•Press (SET-) button B down to set speed. The set speed and vehicle distance will illuminate on
the LCD screen
•Press button B up or down to adjust the set speed
To adjust the sensitivity of SCC: Press the Mode/Menu button on the Steering Wheel C. With the
OK button, when in User Settings mode, select Driver Assistance, then SCC Reaction. Then select Slow, Normal or Fast.
To set the vehicle distance: Press the Vehicle Distance button D on the steering wheel. The image on the LCD screen E
will change when scrolling through the settings.
To cancel SCC operation: Press the CANCEL button F or press the brake pedal. The CRUISE indicator on the instrument
cluster will turn OFF.
To turn SCC system OFF: Press the Driving Assist CRUISE button A. The CRUISE indicator on the instrument cluster will
turn OFF.
To switch modes: Press and hold button D for more than two seconds to switch between standard Cruise Control
and Smart Cruise Control.
Images are for illustrative purposes only and may vary on actual vehicle.
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”)
•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, 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. The noise from an A /C fan operating at higher speeds or wind noise from open windows or sunroof can interfere with Voice Recognition
•Press the talk button and say “Help” to get a list of available commands

• Volume level between different audio modes:
– When switching between audio modes (AM, FM, Bluetooth® Audio, etc.), the audio system saves the previous volume level you were listening to. For example, if you were listening to FM radio at volume level 20 then switched to BT Audio and adjusted the volume level to 30, the volume level will be at 20 when you switch back to FM radio
– When using Bluetooth® Audio, the overall volume is dependent on your device’s volume. If the volume is turned down low on your device it will remain low even if the system volume is turned up
• When connected to Android Auto™ or Apple CarPlay® on your smartphone, the device’s navigation system may also be available
•
A warning screen may appear periodically to remind users that the audio system should be operated when the engine is running to prevent battery discharge
• Prolonged use of the audio control unit in ACC mode may drain the vehicle’s battery

Downhill Brake Control (DBC)†8AWD (All-Wheel Drive) Lock*
DBC helps drivers maneuver down steep hills by
automatically applying braking inputs, allowing
drivers to concentrate on steering.
Press button A to turn DBC ON/OFF.
When you select AWD LOCK mode (indicator is illuminated) by pressing the AWD LOCK button B,
the AWD LOCK mode increases the drive power when driving on wet pavement, snow-covered roads
and/or on unpaved roads.
• This mode is used for climbing or descending sharp grades, driving on unpaved roads, driving on
sandy and muddy roads, etc., to improve traction
• This mode automatically begins to deactivate at speeds above 38 mph and is shifted to AWD
AUTO mode at speeds above 38 mph. If the vehicle decelerates to speeds below approximately 38
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.
The AWD system is a supplemental system only. It is the driver’s responsibility to drive carefully depending on road and traffic conditions. Refer to section 5 in the Owner’s Manual for more information.
(Type A shown. Located below gear shift)
•
•When on, DBC will turn OFF when button is pressed again or vehicle speed is over 38 mph
•If the red indicator illuminates, the DBC system may have malfunctioned. Take your vehicle to an authorized Kia dealer and have the system checked
QUICK TIPS
REMINDER: DBC defaults to OFF when ignition is cycled.
The DBC system is a supplemental system and does not replace the need for the driver to apply the brakes. Pay attention to road and traffic conditions and be prepared to depress the brakes.
Refer to section 5 in the Owner’s Manual for more information.

Forward/Reverse Parking Distance Warning (PDW)†6
(Type A shown. Located below gear shift)
REMINDERS:
• If the vehicle is moving at speeds over 3 mph, the system may not activate correctly
• When more than two objects are sensed at the same time, the closest one will be recognized first
Forward/Reverse Parking Distance Warning (PDW) is not a substitute for proper and safe backing-up procedures. Always drive safely and use caution when moving the vehicle forward or in reverse. Forward/Reverse Parking Distance Warning (PDW) may not detect every object in front of or behind the vehicle.
Image is for illustrative purposes only and features or functions may vary on actual vehicle.
The Forward/Reverse Parking Distance Warning (PDW ) is a supplemental system that is designed to
assist the driver by chiming if certain objects are detected within the sensing area to the front and
rear of the vehicle when moving forward or backing up.
The system is activated when the ignition is ON and the vehicle is in R (Reverse). To deactivate the
system, press the Forward/Reverse Parking Distance Warning (PDW ) button C.
