SMART CRUISE CONTROL (SCC)*

Smart Cruise Control is designed to detect a vehicle ahead and help maintain the set speed and the distance from the vehicle ahead.

With SCC on and activated and the vehicle distance set, when SCC detects a vehicle slowing or stopping, it 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 three seconds, press the accelerator pedal or press the buttons 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.

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 set/adjust set 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 button 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:

Depress the brake pedal or press the Pause/Resume button . The SCC indicator on the Instrument Cluster will change.

To turn SCC off:

Press the Driving Assist button . The SCC indicator on the Instrument Cluster will turn OFF.

Quick Tips:

Pressing the brake pedal cancels the SCC operation
For SCC to operate:
— When no vehicle is in front, you must be traveling at 5 mph minimum
— When following a vehicle, there is no minimum speed requirement
— If your vehicle speed is between 0-20 mph when pressing the Driving Assist button to turn SCC on, the set speed will be set to 20 mph

Reminders:

When stopped behind another vehicle, the driver may depress the brake pedal to turn on SCC
When following a vehicle, SCC is designed to 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
SCC may decelerate if it detects that a 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

*See LEGAL page for legal information

Certain features are available 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.
