SMART CRUISE CONTROL (SCC)*

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 automatically slow to maintain a set distance from traffic without depressing the accelerator or brake pedal.

With SCC on and activated, and the vehicle distance set, it can bring the vehicle to a complete stop, when SCC detects a vehicle ahead slowing or stopping. When the vehicle ahead starts to move forward, SCC reengages.

If the vehicle ahead stops for more than three seconds, press the accelerator pedal or press the switch on the Steering Wheel to start moving the vehicle.

Smart Cruise Control will adjust acceleration based on the drive mode selected in the Drive Mode Integrated Control system.

To set/adjust SCC speed:

Press the Driving Assist button to turn SCC on and set the current speed (One-Touch Set). The SCC indicator will illuminate on the Instrument Cluster. SCC may decrease the speed to maintain the distance with the vehicle in front
Press the switch up/down to increase/decrease the set speed

To set the vehicle distance: Press the Vehicle Distance button on the steering wheel. The image on the LCD screen will change when scrolling through the settings. Each time the button is pressed, the vehicle distance changes

To pause/resume SCC operation: Press the Pause/Resume switch . The SCC indicator on the Instrument Cluster will change.
To turn SCC off: Press the brake pedal, or press the Driving Assist button . The SCC indicator on the Instrument Cluster will turn OFF.

Quick Tips:

If your vehicle speed is between 0-20 mph when you press the Driving Assist button to turn SCC on, the set speed will be set to 20 mph.
To adjust the WARNING VOLUME: Press the SETUP button to go to VEHICLE SETTINGS on the Infotainment System. Press VEHICLE, DRIVER ASSISTANCE, and under WARNING METHODS, you can adjust WARNING VOLUME, and turn HAPTIC WARNING and DRIVER SAFETY PRIORITY on or off
Adjusting the Warning Timing and Warning Methods or Volume will adjust settings for other driver assistance systems

Reminders:

SCC will not activate until the brake pedal has been depressed at least once after the ignition is ON or engine started
When following a vehicle, SCC will automatically adjust your vehicle speed based on the vehicle detected in front
SCC is also canceled when the driver’s door is opened, gear shift is changed out of D (Drive), EPB is activated and various other conditions. See the Owner’s Manual for other conditions
If SCC is left on, it can be activated inadvertently. Keep SCC off when not in use to avoid setting a speed that the driver is not aware of
It is the responsibility of the driver to always check the speed and distance to the vehicle ahead
SCC may decelerate if surrounding vehicle intervenes in front of your vehicle
SCC may not recognize unexpected and sudden situations or complex driving situations, so always pay attention to driving conditions and control your vehicle speed. It is the responsibility of the driver to always check the speed and distance to the vehicle ahead

Certain features are available only on select Kia models.

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. Driving while distracted is dangerous and should be avoided.

Drivers should remain attentive to driving and always exercise caution when using the steering-wheel-mounted controls while driving.
