Using this Features & Functions Guide
The information contained in this guide is a brief overview of the operation and features of your new Kia vehicle.
This Features & Functions Guide and the specific operational and safety information it provides are not a substitute for your Owner’s Manual. In the interest of your safety and that of the vehicle’s occupants, and to help you avoid risks that may result in death or serious injury, Kia reminds you to carefully read the Owner’s Manual in order to fully familiarize yourself with the important information and safety warnings it contains.

Videos and QR Codes
Kia provides a number of video resources to assist you with becoming familiar with the features and functions found in your Kia vehicle. You can access these resources by snapping the QR Codes with your mobile device using the built-in QR Code Reader or a downloaded QR Code Reader App.
After opening the QR Code Reader App on your mobile device, the app will utilize your device’s camera. Center the code in the camera viewing area — with some apps, as soon as the app recognizes the code, it will launch the corresponding video.
With other apps, you will have to snap or “take a picture” of the code. The app will then launch the corresponding video.
For operation specifics, refer to the instructions that come with your QR Code Reader App. You can also view the videos by visiting the following website: www.youtube.com/KiaFeatureVideos

If you’re having trouble scanning codes, check the following:
•
The code should be centered and focused in your mobile device’s camera screen
•
Consider moving your device closer to or far ther away from the code
•
The code should be well lit, without significant shadow
•Avoid scanning from a significant angle
•
Confirm that the device’s app suppor ts 2D QR Code scanning
•
Tr y another QR Code Reader App; not all apps are created equal

After scanning, you may experience a “connection error ” message or a “connecting” message with no subsequent response. These messages t ypically indicate that your device is having trouble connecting to the Internet

QUICK TIP

ADAS
ADVANCED DRIVER ASSISTANCE SYSTEM (ADAS)
Navigation-based Smart Cruise Control will help automatically adjust vehicle speed when driving on highways with posted speed limits by using road information from the navigation system, while Smart Cruise Control
is operating .
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 .
Highway Curve Zone Auto Slowdown: NSCC can automatically adjust the vehicle speed when it detects a curved road ahead and when it receives road information from the navigation system . When NSCC detects a curve ahead, NSCC activates and reduces the vehicle speed, and the AUTO icon A (nex t
page) in the NSCC indicator turns green . When the vehicle passes the curved road, the vehicle may return to its previously set speed .
Highway Auto Speed Change: If the set speed is set to the current posted speed limit on the highway during NSCC operation, the set speed is changed automatically whenever the posted speed limit changes and when it receives information from the navigation system .
SCC Operation: With SCC turned 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 re-engages . If the vehicle ahead stops for more than 3 seconds, the accelerator pedal or the + – button B must be pressed to start moving the vehicle .
SCC will adjust acceleration based on the drive mode selected in the Drive Mode Integrated Control system .
NSCC Settings:
To turn on/set/adjust the NSCC speed: Press the Driving Assist button C on the Steering Wheel to activate NSCC and the speed will be set to the current vehicle speed . NSCC may decrease the speed to maintain the distance with the vehicle in front . The CRUISE indicator will illuminate on the instrument cluster .
Press the + – button B up/down to accelerate/decelerate to the desired speed . Press the button B to set the speed .
To set the vehicle distance: Press the Vehicle Distance button D on the steering wheel . Each time you press the button, the vehicle distance will change G, indicated by the number of bars that appear on the display A .
To pause/resume NSCC operation: Depress the brake pedal or press the Pause/Resume button + – B . The cruise indicator on the instrument cluster will change .
To turn NSCC OFF: Press the Driving Assist button C . The CRUISE indicator on the instrument cluster will turn OFF .
To adjust the sensitivity of NSCC: Press the mode button E on the Steering Wheel . With the OK button F, select Drive Assistance, then NSCC Response . Then select Fast, Normal or Slow .
