Lane Following Assist status is
remembered by the function and
therefore does not need to be
enabled again for each new journey. Once the function starts working, the
indicator light ( ) comes on the
instrument panel.
The indicator light colors according
to the function status are as follows.
Green: Active
White: Standby
Lane Following Assist activation
If the vehicle is inside the lane with
both lanes recognized by the func-
tion, and there is no steep steering
made by the driver, Lane Following
Assist changes into steering assist
mode. The indicator light will come
on green, and the function helps the
vehicle stay in line by controlling the
steering wheel.
When the steering wheel is not con-
trolled temporarily, the indicator light
will flash green and changes to white.
When the both lanes are not recog-
nized by the function, the function
controls the steering wheel limitedly
whether there is a vehicle in front or
not.

Lane Following Assist mal-
function
The warning message popped up
(turned off after a certain period of
time)means a problem with Lane
Following Assist. If this occurs, we
recommend that the function be
checked by an authorized Kia dealer.
Limitation of Lane Following
Assist
If the driver turns on the turn signal
light or the emergency warning
light to change the lane
- Operate the turn signal lightswitch before changing the lane
- If you change the lane without operating the turn signal lights,
steering reaction force of the
wheel may occur.
Once Lane Following Assist is turned on or the lane is changed,
the vehicle should be in the center
of the road to switch to the steering
assist mode. If the driver keeps
driving along the lane, Lane
Following Assist will not assist the
steering.
When the ESC or VSM is activat- ed, the function does not assist
steering.
When driving on a curved road at a high speed, steering assist mode
may not work.
When driving at a speed faster than 110 mph (180 km/h), steering
assist mode may not work.
CAUTION
It is the driver’s responsibility to operate the steering wheelwhile driving.
With Lane Following Assist on, the driver can steer thevehicle by operating the wheelon his own.
We recommend that the driver turns off Lane FollowingAssist and operates the steer-ing wheel by himself in the fol-lowing cases
- bad weather- bad road conditions- when frequent operation of the steering wheel is required
- when towing other vehicle or trailers
The steering wheel can feel heavy or light if LaneFollowing Assist is assistingthe steering.

(lane color: white), the steering
wheel indicator ( ) lights up in
green and then the steering control
is initiated.When Highway Driving Assist cannot
provide temporary steering inputs,
the indicator flashes green and then
changes to white. Even when HDA
cannot provide temporary steering
inputs, it still controls the distance
from other vehicles.
(For information on non-operating
conditions of steering wheel control,
please refer to “Limitations of
Highway Driving Assist” in this chap-
ter.

ally by the driver, Highway Driving

Driving your vehicle
Your vehicle's fuel economy depends
mainly on your style of driving, where
you drive and when you drive.
Each of these factors affects how
many miles (kilometers) you can get
from a gallon (liter) of fuel. To operate
your vehicle as economically as pos-
sible, use the following driving sug-
gestions to help save money in both
fuel and repairs:
Drive smoothly. Accelerate at amoderate rate. Don't make "jack-
rabbit" starts or full-throttle shifts
and maintain a steady cruising
speed. Don't race between stop-
lights. Try to adjust your speed to
the traffic so you don't have to
change speeds unnecessarily.
Avoid heavy traffic whenever pos- sible. Always maintain a safe dis-
tance from other vehicles so you
can avoid unnecessary braking.
This also reduces brake wear.
Drive at a moderate speed. The faster you drive, the more fuel your
vehicle uses. Driving at a moderate
speed, especially on the highway,
is one of the most effective ways to
reduce fuel consumption. Don't "ride" the brake pedal. This
can increase fuel consumption and
also increase wear on these com-
ponents. In addition, driving with
your foot resting on the brake pedal
may cause the brakes to overheat,
which reduces their effectiveness
and may lead to more serious con-
sequences.
Take care of your tires. Keep them inflated to the recommended pres-
sure. Incorrect inflation, either too
much or too little, results in unnec-
essary tire wear. Check the tire
pressures at least once a month.
Be sure that the wheels are aligned correctly. Improper align-
ment can result from hitting curbs
or driving too fast over irregular
surfaces. Poor alignment causes
faster tire wear and may also result
in other problems as well as
greater fuel consumption. Keep your vehicle in good condi-
tion. For better fuel economy and
reduced maintenance costs, main-
tain your vehicle in accordance
with the maintenance schedule in
chapter 8. If you drive your vehicle
in severe conditions, more frequent
maintenance is required (see
chapter 8 for details).
Keep your vehicle clean. For maxi- mum service, your vehicle should
be kept clean and free of corrosive
materials. It is especially important
that mud, dirt, ice, etc. not be
allowed to accumulate on the
underside of the vehicle. This extra
weight can result in increased fuel
consumption and also contribute to
corrosion.
Travel lightly. Don't carry unneces- sary weight in your vehicle. Weight
reduces fuel economy.
Don't let the engine idle longer than necessary. If you are waiting
(and not in traffic), turn off your
engine and restart only when
you're ready to go.
