Driving your vehicle
The cruise control system allows you
to program the vehicle to maintain a
constant speed without depressing
the accelerator pedal.
This system is designed to function
above approximately 20 mph (30
km/h). If the cruise control is left on,
(cruise indicator light is illuminat-
ed), the cruise control can be
switched on accidentally. Keep the
cruise control system off when the
cruise control is not in use, to avoid
inadvertently setting a speed.
Use the cruise control system only
when traveling on open highways
in good weather.
Do not use the cruise control when
it may not be safe to keep the vehi-
cle at a constant speed, for
instance, driving in heavy or vary-
ing traffic, or on slippery (rainy, icy
or snow- covered) or winding roads
or over 6% up-hill or down-hill
roads.
Pay particular attention to the driv-
ing conditions whenever using the
cruise control system.
Be careful when driving downhill
using the cruise control system,
which may increase the vehicle
speed.
✽ ✽
NOTICE
• During normal cruise control oper-
ation, when the SET switch is acti-
vated or reactivated after applying
the brakes, the cruise control will
activate after approximately 3 sec-
onds. This delay is normal.
• To activate cruise control, depress
the brake pedal at least once after
turning the ignition switch to the
ON position or starting the engine.
CRUISE CONTROL SYSTEM (IF EQUIPPED)
WARNING - Misuse of
Cruise Control
Do not use cruise control if the
traffic situation does not allow
you to drive safely at a constant
speed and with sufficient dis-
tance to the vehicle in front.

Smart Cruise Control system mal-
function message
Check Smart Cruise Control System
The message will appear when the
vehicle to vehicle distance control
system is not functioning normally.
Take your vehicle to an authorized
Kia dealer and have the system
checked. Always keep the sensor and
bumper clean.
Use only a genuine Kia sensor
cover for your vehicle.

Your vehicle may be equipped with
the ISG system, which reduces fuel
consumption by automatically shut-
ting down the engine, when the vehi-
cle is at a standstill. (For example :
red light, stop sign and traffic jam)
The engine starts automatically as
soon as the starting conditions are
met.
The ISG system is ON whenever the
engine is running.
ISG is active by default at vehicle
start-up. When ignition is cycled, ISG
will turn ON again.
✽ ✽
NOTICE
When the engine automatically
starts by the ISG system, some
warning lights (ABS, ESC, ESC
OFF, EPS or Parking brake warn-
ing light) may turn on for a few sec-
onds.
This happens because of the system
logic whenever the engine start. It
does not mean the system has mal-
functioned.
Auto stop
To stop the engine in idle stop
mode
Stop the vehicle completely by
pressing the brake pedal when the
shift lever is in the D (Drive) or N
(Neutral) position.
The engine will stop and the green
AUTO STOP( ) indicator on the
instrument cluster will illuminate.
✽ ✽ NOTICE
If you open the engine hood in auto
stop mode, the following will hap-
pen:
• The ISG system will deactivate
(the light on the ISG OFF button
will illuminate).
• A message will appear on the LCD display. (Continued)

Lane Keeping Assist (LKA) system is
designed to detect the lane markers
on the road with a front view camera
at the front windshield, and assists
the driver's steering to help keep the
vehicle in the lanes.When the system detects the vehicle
straying from its lane, it alerts the
driver with a visual and audible warn-
ing, while applying a slight counter-
steering torque, trying to prevent the
vehicle from moving out of its lane.
✽ ✽
NOTICE
Driver is responsible for being
aware of surroundings and steering
the vehicle, and safe driving prac-
tices.
LANE KEEPING ASSIST (LKA) SYSTEM (IF EQUIPPED)
WARNING
Do not turn the steering wheel
suddenly when the vehicle is
being directed by LKA system.
This can result in a sudden loss
of control and crash of the vehi-
cle.OCK057037L
OCK057170L
WARNING
LKA system is a supplemental
system and is not a substitute
for safe driving practices. It is
the responsibility of the driver
to always pay attention and
drive safely.

Do not disassemble the front view
camera temporarily for tinted win-
dows or attaching any types of
coatings and accessories. If you
disassemble the camera and
assemble it again, take your vehi-
cle to an authorized Kia dealer and
have the system checked.
When you replace the windshield
glass, front view camera or sys-
tem, take your vehicle to an author-
ized Kia dealer and have the sys-
tem checked.
The system is designed to detect
lane markers using a front view
camera. If the lane markers are
hard to detect, then the system
may be limited. Always be cautious
when using the system.
When the lane markers are hard to
detect, please refer to “Driver’s
Attention”.
Do not remove or damage the
related parts of LKA system.
Do not place objects on the dash-
board that reflect light such as mir-
rors, white paper, etc. This may
prevent the system from function-
ing. You may not hear warning sound of
LKA system because of excessive
audio sound.
If you drive with your hands off the
steering wheel, LKA system will
stop controlling the steering wheel
after the hands off alarm.
Afterwards, if you drive with your
hands on the steering wheel, the
control will be activated again.✽ ✽
NOTICE
• If the vehicle speed is high, steer-
ing torque for assistance will not
be enough to keep your vehicle
within the lane. If so, the vehicle
may move out of its lane. Obey
speed limit when using LKA sys-
tem.
• If you attach objects to the steer-
ing wheel, the system may not
assist steering.
• If you attach objects to the steer-
ing wheel, hands off alarm may
not work properly.

Driving your vehicle
If the vehicle moves out its lane
because steering torque for assis-
tance is not enough, the line indi-
cator will blink.
If all the conditions to activate LKA
system are not satisfied, the sys-
tem will convert to Lane Departure
Warning (LDW) system and only
warn the driver when the driver
crosses the lane lines. In this sce-
nario, LDW system does not pro-
vide any steering inputs into the
vehicle for you. Accordingly, you
must take the necessary steps to
maintain control of the vehicle and
keep it within the lanes.
If the driver takes hands off the steer-
ing wheel for several seconds while
LKA is activated, the system will
warn the driver.✽ ✽
NOTICE
• Always keep your hands on the
steering wheel while driving.
• If you hold the steering wheel with
a light grip, the system may also
generate the hands off warning.
If the driver still does not have their
hands on the steering wheel after
several seconds, the system will only
warn the driver when the driver
crosses the lane lines. In this sce-
nario, the system does not provide
any steering inputs into the vehicle
for you. Accordingly, you must take
the necessary steps to maintain con-
trol of the vehicle and keep it within
the lanes.
However, if the driver has their hands
on the steering wheel again, the sys-
tem will again provide steering inputs
if it detects the vehicle leaving the
lane.
