Lane Keeping Assist (LKA)†6
Lane Keeping Assist is designed to detect the lane markers on the road with a front view camera on the windshield, and may assist the driver ’s steering to help keep the vehicle in the lane. When turned on, the instrument cluster indicator will initially illuminate white. It will remain white when the vehicle is traveling slower than 40 mph or when the system does not detect the lane markers. When the system detects the lane markers and can assist the steering, the LK A icon will illuminate green.
If LK A detects that you are moving outside of your lane, the system may give an audible warning and display a Lane Departure Warning on the instrument cluster. If the vehicle continues to move outside of the lane, LK A may provide steering inputs, trying to prevent the vehicle from moving outside its lane.
LK A is the operating mode by default when the Lane Safety button* A is depressed to ON (must be enabled in User Settings).
LKA User Settings:
To enable LK A , go to User Settings in the Instrument Cluster, press the Mode button B on the Steering Wheel when the vehicle is at a standstill, gear shift in Park (P) and with the ignition on or the Engine Start/Stop button* in the ON position. Select User Settings . Go to Driver Assistance > Lane Safety and select one of the following modes:
•Assist: LK A will automatically assist the driver ’s steering when lane departure is detected to help prevent the vehicle from moving out of its lane
•Warning Only: LK A will warn the driver with an audible warning when lane departure is detected. This mode does NOT provide any steering assist
•Off: LK A will turn off. The indicator light C will turn off on the cluster
All systems will operate under the following conditions:
•The vehicle speed exceeds approximately 40 mph
•
LK A recognizes the lane the vehicle is traveling in
•
The vehicle is between the lane markers
When the front-view camera does not detect the lane traveling in, the lanes are not illuminated grayWhen the front-view camera detects the lane traveling in, both lanes are illuminated gray
L ANE KEEPING ASSIST

Highway Driving Assist (HDA)*†6 a
Highway Driving Assist (HDA) is designed to adjust the speed of the vehicle when driving on limited/controlled access highways.

When HDA is activated and the conditions are met, the Instrument Cluster indicator light B will illuminate green. If the conditions are not met, HDA will be in standby mode and the indicator light B will illuminate white.
When in operation, and if both lanes are recognized, a display C will show the lanes illuminated white and the steering wheel indicator illuminated green.
If HDA is activated and conditions are met, HDA will enter the automatic speed setting mode. The set speed and AUTO will be displayed D in green and an audible alert will sound.

Dual Clutch Transmission (DCT)*
Some Kia vehicles are equipped with Dual Clutch Transmission (DCT) for automatic transmissions. 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 DCT operation or call Kia Consumer Affairs for additional information.
•With the seat warmer switch in the ON position, the heating system in the seat turns OFF or ON automatically depending on the seat temperature
•System is OFF by default. To turn system ON again, press the Heated Steering Wheel but ton
•When the Climate Control System’s temperature is turned up to high heat, the Seat Warmers turn on automatically
QUICK TIPSREMINDER: Use extreme caution when using the seat warmers to avoid burns. Refer to the Owner ’s Manual for more information.
